| Military Service | He served as a Sergeant in in the CSA: first, in the 7th Regiment of the Kentucky Cavalry; then, from August 1863 to the end of the war, in the 2nd Battalion of the Kentucky Cavalry (Dortch's). His war records themselves show a bit more than this, including for specific Muster Rolls and his surrender. He was enlisted at Millersburg, KY by Capt. Gano on Sept. 9, 1862, for a period of 3 years. He appears in Co. F of the 7 Kentucky Cavalry on an undated slip. On another undated slip, he appears on a "List of officers and men" belonging to Company B of the 2nd Battalion Kentucky Volunteers--"Dortch's Battalion, Williams' Command." Muster roll slips show him present from Oct. 8 to Nov. 1, 1862 as a 4th Sgt. in Co. F of Gano's 2nd Regiment of Kentucky Cavalry. He is paid at the end of the time for 1 mo. and 22 days. Then, slips show him present as a 3rd Sgt. in Co. F of the 3rd Regiment of Kentucky Cavalry from Nov 1862 through to Aug. 31, 1863. After this, he is present on Sept. & Oct. 1863 for Company A of the 2nd Battalion. Putting this together, it seems that he would have been first recruited by Gano, who had formerly been head of a company of a Texas Cavalry Battalion. It would seem that he first served with Gano for a couple of months in the 7th Cavalry, Company F. He appears here in the Adjutant General's report, though no enlistment date or place are given. This company disbanded after Morgan's June-July 1863 raid through Ohio--one notable instance of a Confederate raid into U.S. territory. Mannen switched to the 3rd regiment, however, well before the raid. The 3rd regiment was organized in the summer of 1862. He is present in it from Nov. 1862 through to August of 1863. According to Crute's regimental history, this unit skirmished in numerous actions in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia. Later in the war the unit was active in the Atlanta Campaign, the defense of Savannah, and the campaign of the Carolinas. I wonder, however, if this is confused. The Roll of Company A of the 2nd Battalion Cavalry in the Adjutant General's report shows him as a 3rd Sergeant, but as enlisting on Sept. 9, 1862, at Millersburg, KY. L.A. Humber is listed as the Company's Captain; John B. "Dorch" is the "Capt. Comdg." In Sept. and Oct. of 1863 his rosters show him in Dortch's 2nd Battalion was consolidated in August 1863, partly from what was left of Morgan's command after his summer raid through Ohio. He is present in it for two months. This regiment fought a series of engagments in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia; it disbanded in Jan. of 1865 because so few men were left. This can't be the whole story, however, because Mannen surrendered in Georgia as a member of the 3rd Regiment (see below). He was in Dortch's for an unspecified whle, but he left it at some (unrecorded) point to rejoin the 3rd Regiment. Edward Guerrant mentions him briefly in his diary for 27 March 1865: "Met Leslie Manning today, a roommate & College mate at Danville, a member of Duke's Brigade." Guerrant was in Eastern Tennessee at the time. According to his record, as a member of the 3rd Regiment of the Kentucky Cav. he took the Oath of Allegiance to the U.S. "subscribed and sworn to before. W.H. Bracken, 1st Lieut. and Asst. Pro. Mar. Genl., Dept. Cumb., at Nashville, Tennessee May 22, 1865." He is described here as from Mason Co., Ky; as with a dark complexion, brown hair, hazel eyes, 5'10" tall. He surrendered on May 9, 1865, at Washington, Georgia. He did not file for a pension, or at least no-one did in his name. [8, 9] | |
| Obituary | Obituary, Galena Times 20 June 1901, p1 c3: L.H. MANNEN IS DEAD. Passed Away at His Home This Forenoon Leslie H. Mannen died at 11 o’clock this forenoon at his home, corner of Sixth street and Galena avenue, of cirrhosis of the liver, after an illness lasting several weeks. He had been expected to die for several days, and the community was in a measure prepared for the announcement that the end had come. L.H. Mannen was born in Mason county, Kentucky, in December, 1841, and was therefore past 59 years of age. He was raised on a farm and lived there until he came to Galena six or seven years ago. On coming here he engaged in the livery business and owned the barn on Seventh street at the time of his death, as well as his residence property corner Sixth and Galena avenue. He ran for county commissioner in 1898, as the Democratic nominee, being defeated by Hal Peters. Mr. Mannen was an uncompromising Democrat, of the genuine Kentucky kind, and was active in the local ranks until more recent years. He was a faithful friend, a genial associate, a man of honor, integrity and honesty. He was plain and unassuming, a man of strong convictions, a close discerner of right and wrong—quick to commend the one and condemn the other. His friends were numbered by the score and they will deeply feel that loss which his death occasions. As has been the case with countless others, his worst enemy was himself. Mr. Mannen was proud, but he was modest. When the writer sought material for a biography of him for publication in The Times, when he was a candidate for commissioner, he said “There isn’t much to be said about my life,” and then he added “there isn’t much to be ashamed of, either.” He was married in 1869 and leaves besides his wife, six children—Hal, John, Ike, Cush, Turn and May. Four of the children are at home, while John and Turn are away—one in Arizona, and the other in Iowa, at points not known by the family. The funeral will take place Saturday at 10 a.m. and be in charge of the Masonic order, to which the deceased belonged. | |
