Gholston Mann (1807 - 1874)

The proposed relationship of Gholston Mann as the father of Griffin Thomas Mann and John Clifford Mann is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between EM (a descendant of the Griffin Thomas Mann ancestral line) and EC (a descendant of the John Clifford Mann ancestral line) with a shared segment of 59.42 cM across 1 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
