Mann was born in Ohio.[2] He later lived in the area of Crystal River, Florida and had orange groves. He served in the Florida Senate from 1883 until 1887.[3] He was in the Florida House in 1891. [1] Mannfield, Florida, the county seat until Inverness was chosen to replace it, was named for him. It is now a ghost town in the Withlacoochee State Forest.[4] His daughter, May Mann, married William Sherman Jennings, who served as Governor of Florida.[4][5][6]
