3-9-7-1 War of 1812 Ensign RICHARD TUBMAN MANKIN, JR m.1 MARY ____ . Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. had a wife Mary indentified by her tombstone at St. Paul's Piney Church which indicates she died 21 March 1809, age 24. It says, "In memory of MARY MANKIN, Wife of RICH(d) T. MANKIN, who departed this life March 21, 1809, in the 24th Year of her Age" This would give this Mary Mankin's birth year of 1785, When Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. died in 1815 Benedicta Mankin declined to administer the estate and requested that letters be granted to Samuel Chapman (Charles County Orphans Court Proceedings 1815-1816 pg. 46). Benedicta Mankin is not further identified so it is not clear whether she was a second wife or an adult daughter. Chapman posted bond on 1 Nov. 1815 (Ibid pg. 56). An inventory of the estate was taken 9 Jan. 1816 (Ibid pg.283) but an account was not rendered until 22 Mar 1820 (Ibid pg. 284). At that tiime there was no balance to distribute to the heirs. Charles County Orphans Court Proceedings show that Guardian Bonds were posted by Malachi Robey as guardian to Sophia Mankin and James Mankin while Daniel Carrington was appointed guardian to Richard Mankin (Charles County Orphans Court Docket 1788-1824 pgs. 185, 186, & 189). These children are believed to be the offspring of Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. and his wife Mary. All three apppear in guardianship records, but without mention of the father or mother! Further documentation is sought.

3-9-5-1-2 Civil War Brigadier General HENRY MANKIN was the son of ISAIAH MANKIN, and the grandson of CHARLES MANKIN, of Charles County, MD, born December 9, 1804 in Baltimore, MD and died 1876. His childhood and youth were spent at his father's country places "Chestnut Park" and "Warfield". His mother's early death, which occurred before he was 9 years old, made a deep impression upon him, and he formed a devoted attachment to his grandmother, Mrs. Gardner, which continued until her death in 1837. He was sent to school to Dr. Gray, a noted educator of that time, became very fond of his teacher, and happy in the special interest shown in him. He had many ambitious dreams for the future, and was especially anxious to go to West Point. The battle of North Point and the attack on Fort McHenry occurred before he was 10 years old. His father's house was the gathering place and refuge for friends and relatives who had fled from their homes. The scenes and the talk all around him so excited him that he and a young cousin of the same age started out secretly to "go and fight the British". Fortunately, they were chased back by Maryland soldiers before they had gone far enough to be in danger. From that time he was deeply interested in military matters, but all plans for the future had to be put aside when financial difficulties compelled his father to take him from school and put him in his counting house. Affection for his father and his delight in ships and interest in the mercantile problems of the day softened the disappointment, and he threw himself eagerly into what became his life work. He afterwards entered the house of Clark & Kellogg, a prominent firm in Baltimore, and was promoted to manager and later made a partner, taking the business over entirely when Clark and Kellogg retired. His energy and enterprise were now fully shown. His ships were sent to many ports in Europe and Asia, taking a cargo in one port and discharging it at another far away where such articles were needed. An article in the Baltimore Sun newspaper headed "The Liverpool Packets, The Days of the Baltimore Clippers" says:

"Previous to 1848 there were no regular 'lines' between Baltimore and Liverpool. Ships came and went in a desultory way but there were no regular sailing dates. In that year Henry Mankin established a regular line of packet ships adapted to passenger as well as freight traffic. the first Baltimore ship put on the line was the Franconia, with Capt. Smith, familiarly known as "Long John Smith" from his towering proportions. The line grew and prospered. From the ship yards of Baltimore issued a fleet of vessels whose fame became known world wide.For years the "lines" carried cargo between the two ports. Many men still in active business recollect the long lines of drays and wagons that daily lined Thames Street to take their turn at loading or discharging. Each vessel brought several hundred immigrants who were distributed along the street in groups awaiting wagons to convey them to the railroad stations. It was a pleasure to Mr. Mankin that he was enabling strong healthy men and women to find good homes in this country where their work was needed. The benefit of others was always part of his plans, as when he arranged and paid for earliest news of prices from New York it was posted up at the Baltimore Corn Exchange for all to see."

In 1838 he had married SARAH ANN FOARD, daughter of Joseph R. Foard of Baltimore County, the family then living in Zanesville, OH. About this time he bought Mount Pleasant, a country place lying north of Baltimore, much of which is now included in Roland Park and in the village of Hampden. He had dreamed in boyhood of owning it and he now made it his home, added a considerable part of the valley of Stoney Run, set out many groups of trees and a wealth of flowers. The place became noted for its beauty and fragrance. He had early entered the Militia of Maryland, was promoted to Colonel of his regiment, and in 1845 was made Brigadier General of the 14th Brigade by Governor Pratt. His commission sword and epaulets are preserved at the State House in Annapolis. Happy in his home and in his occupation he made large plans for the Church and for Baltimore, but these had all to be given up. Foreseeing that Baltimore must develop towards the North, he bought largely of land in that direction, but the growth came much more slowly than he expected, and this and the effort to help friends involved him in financial difficulties. Fearing that the knowledge of this would damage the business he withdrew from the firm, turning it over to his brother-in-law, Joseph O. Foard, whom he had made a partner. The firm was afterward known as Foard & Rogers. He now devoted himself to the effort to clear and develop the land. He formed the Hampden Association through which the title to much property in Baltimore County is held, and had made some progress in his plans when the Civil War came about, and all business stopped in Baltimore. In this time of enforced idleness, poetical composition was his great solace. His sympathies were strongly with the South, and he would have been in the Southern Army, but could not leave his wife and daughters. There had been no time for composition in his busy life. Now it was a relief to put his strong feeling into verse. As business became more settled, more progress was made with the Association, and now he started another plan which he hoped would give to the men in the foundry and the mills their own homes. He wrote to England for all particulars about the Building Association recently started there. With difficulty, he persuaded a few to join. They did not understand it, and feared the risk, but he kept the books himself and attended to all the details and soon all fears vanished and the men joined the Association eagerly as they saw the comfortable homes rising in Hampden and Woodberry. Ground for the Church, the original cemetery and part of the school lot were secured to St. Mary's Church, Hampton, all that remained of the larger plans. For some years exhausting work and exposure had seriously affected his strength, and on June 17, 1876, a sudden attack of congestion of the lungs ended his life at 72. A life lived in communion with God and in unwavering trust in an Almighty Father and a loving Saviour and Friend. There are three painted portraits of the Mankin family who are buried in Greenmount Cemetery, Baltimore, MD in the Baltimore Museum of Art. Black and white images are pictured above and are listed as follows. They were left to the museum by Olivia Mankin, the last survivor of that family branch, it seems.

John Bracken Mankins, Jr. 1804-18776

Speech given at the Dedication of Mankins Park, Carson City, on December 13, 2007

SPEECH BY GUY ROCHA

State Archivist, Nevada State Library & Archives

Early Nevada--in this case western Utah Territory--had its share of hardscrabble pioneers whose lives on the frontier are marked by some mystery. Two that come quickly to mind are James �Old Virginny� Finney and the man we are honoring today John Bracken Mankins. I suspect virtually everyone here has heard of �Old Virginny� Finney. We know the hard drinking, hard living placer miner was living in Gold Canyon as early as 1850. The legendary stories abound of his drinking and mining exploits. We know Virginia City was named in 1859 for the man that helped found one of the world�s greatest mining towns. Arguably James �Old Virginny� Finney--who died after being thrown from a horse in 1861, some suggest while on a drinking spree--is a Comstock folk-hero because of his colorful lifestyle. We can visit his well-marked grave in the Dayton cemetery.

John Bracken Mankins, born in North Carolina, was also a rough-hewn pioneer who found his way to Eagle Valley from Arkansas in 1857. Mankins purchased �for a mere trifle� the possessory claims to land abandoned by Mormons called back to Salt Lake City by leader Brigham Young. The property was known as Mankins Ranch before he sold it to Abe Curry, John J. Musser and Frank Proctor on August 12, 1858. In less than a month�s time, the California newspapers were noting the new town of Carson City--which will be celebrating its 150th birthday in 2008. We must rely solely on Myron Angel�s History of Nevada (1881) for a description of Mankins. He was a fifty-four-year-old widower with four children and a Ute Indian boy in his household. They resided in a cabin northwest of where Carson City was originally laid out, not far from this park named in his honor. Mankins was described as broad-shouldered, a rough, passionate, illiterate fellow, and a splendid marksman. It�s clear from the historical account in the History of Nevada you didn�t want to get on the bad side of John Mankins. After Mankins sold his ranch in Eagle Valley for $1,000, we are told that to avoid his creditors he found his way over the Sierra Nevada to Santa Cruz. A shoot-out there sent him further south in California to live out his life. Mankins� children begat children, and they in turn begat children, and his descendants are proudly here today to witness the legacy of their patriarch honored by Carson City in dedicating a new park in his name.

In conclusion, this hardy middle-age frontiersman who we are told could out-distance virtually any man in a footrace of 50 yards--Mankins starting the race flat on his stomach--would surely have approved of this park fittingly named for him. Perhaps he even vanquished one of his competitors on or near this site. John Bracken Mankins is now appropriately remembered as one of Carson City�s colorful early pioneers, the likes of stagecoach driver Hank Monk and educator and entrepreneur Hannah Clapp.

See The Oregonian, Dec. 29, 1907: PROMINENT FARMER SLAIN James Mankin Seeks to Eject Wals wortb and Son Brother Aids In Battle and Three Arrests Are Made Coroner at Scene. JACKSONVILLE, Or., Dec. 28. (Special.) One man dead and - two seriously wounded is the result of a duel fought with shotguns and Winchesters at the Mankin ranch, two miles south of this city, this evening. The dead man is James Mankin a prosperous and re spected rancher. The two wounded men are C. H. Walsworth and the 19-year-old son, N. W. Walsworth. , The trouble arose over an attempt by Mankin to eject Walsworth and family from a house on the Mankin ranch. James Mankin, the dead man, and the senior Walsworth fought with clubs and pitchforks for nearly an hour, when suddenly Walsworth turned and ran into the house and secured a rifle and began shooting at Mankin. Brother Brings Guns. Henry Mankin, brother to the dead man, hearing the report of the rifle, rushed to his brother's assistance with a shotgun and rifle. N. W. Walsworth attempted to shoot Henry Mankin when he himself received a charge of shot in the face and. dropped his gun and fled. The elder Walsworth then shot and killed James Mankin. Henry Mankin threw his shotgun aside, secured the rifle, and shot Walsworth in the left eye and through the lower jaw. Walsworth had been traveling with a magic lantern show and this Fall secured employment as a woodchopper at the Mankin ranch. The house which Walsworth had been occupying is owned by other parties, to whom Walsworth claims he paid the rent to January 4, and when told by the Mankins to vacate he refused to do so. The house, however, is on the Mankin land, and this morning James Mankin secured legal advice, and armed with authority went to Walsworth's home with the above results. Walsworth Very Drunk. Walsworth was brought to this city this evening, the son arriving a few minutes ahead of him. Both are now confined at County Jail. The Mankins are highly respected people, and have always borne good reputations, while Walsworth, it is alleged, is of a very troublesome nature. He came into town this morning and proceeded to imbibe as always, while that there would be a fight at the Mankin ranch of great magnitude. Coroner Kellogg is expected to arrive tomorrow, when an inquest will be held. Henry Mankin has been arrested.

San Antonio Daily Express, [Thurs.] 3 Jul 1873, p.2, Texas News

"May 31st two men unknown to any of the citizens, made their appearance in the town of Gatesville, Coryelle county, between sundown and dark, and after making strict inquiry as to the residence and whereabouts of Brock Sadler, one of the citizens living in town, went to his house, called him out, and after passing a few words, one of them deliberately shot and severely wounded him. Some few days afterwards our Sheriff, J. R. Raby, in company with his Deputy and two or three [illegible] men, after making diligent inquiry as to the description of the men who did the shooting, started in pursuit of them, and on Saturday, the 7th of June, they succeed in arresting J. and Peter Mankins (brothers) in or near Georgetown, Williamson county, and on Monday, the 9th inst., delivered them to his Honor, S. B. Raby, J.P., for an examination, they being accused of shooting Brock Sadler as aforesaid. Said defendants, J. & Peter Mankins, requested and obtained a postponement of the trial until Saturday the 14th inst., to procure testimony, as they said, to prove that they were not in Coryelle county when B. Sadler was shot. Saturday morning the case was called for trial. Defendants did not introduce any evidence or give any excuse for their failure. The trial proceeded and the State introduced some ten or fifteen witnesses, who made a chain of testimony said to be satisfactory to all who heard it, positively identifying the defendants, J. and Peter Mankins, as being the men who were in Corryelle county and in Gatesville on the 30th day of May last, and the same that shot Brock Sadler. After a hearing of the testimony and pleadings, his Honor S. B. Raby, J.P., decided that the defendants be bound in a bond of $10,000 each for their appearance at the next term of our District Court, and on failure to execute the bond, to be delivered in the Waco jail, and on Tuesday morning last, at half-past 8 o�clock, they having failed to execute the bond. Sheriff Raby, in company with his Deputy and two citizens as guards, started from Gatesvlle to Waco with the prisoners, and after traveling about one and a half miles, they were fired upon by some person unknown, when J. Mankins was instantly killed, and Peter severely, but it is supposed, not mortally wounded. No one knows the cause of Sadler�s being shot, unless it was owing to the fact that he was a material witness against J. Mankins in Williamson county court for horse stealing. The Mankins� lived in Williamson county, six miles from Georgetown.�Belton Journal."

The Council met.

Pres't. His Excellency John Eager Howard Esquire
The Hon'ble. Randolph B. Latimer
John Davidson
John Kilty Esquires

Summonses issued to Basil Smith, Jeremiah Dyer, Samuel Richards, Leonard Dixon and Samuel Pickerell to testify on the Hearing before the Governor and Council this instant, of the Complaint of Charles Mankin, Benjamin Cawood and William Brawner that the election for Sheriffs of Charles County was not made fairly and freely agreeably to the Constitution and Form of Government. Agreeably to the order of the Board of the 10th, instant. Charles Mankin on behalf of the Petitioners against the late election in Charles County for Sheriffs, and James Simms the Sheriff elect, attended and the Board proceeded to enquire into the Complaints set forth in the Petition.

The Petitioners prayed for permission to amend their Petition, by specifying other objections to the said Election, which upon due consideration was allowed and the Petition was amended so as to read as follows� "To his Excellency the Governor and the honourable the Council of the State of Maryland�

The Memorial of Charles Mankin, Benjamin Cawood and William Brawner sheweth that your Memorialists were Candidates for the Office of Sheriff of Charles County at an election held there on the first Monday of October in the present year 1791. That the Justices attending the said Election and who acted as Judges thereof did not take the Oath of Judge of the Election as required by the Constitution and Laws of this State. The said Judges did not appoint a Clerk to [p. 346] take the Ballots as required by the 42nd. Article of the Form of Government nor were the said Ballots taken by a Clerk. That no Clerk to take the said Ballots was sworn and qualified according to the Constitution. That sundry voters were permitted to put in two Ballots from an idea that he might vote for two persons as Sheriff, and such Ballots were received by the Justices who acted as Judges aforesaid, whereby such voters had an opportunity of voting twice for the same Candidate that the Judges of the said Election Benjamin Contee and Henry Barnes, on the Thursday of the said Election adjourned the Polls at sundry times from about one o'clock of the said Day until midnight so that the polls were not open but very little more and by means thereof prevented very near three hundred voters from polling who were there ready and desirous to vote and frequently requested that the polls might be kept open � that a number of people were very noisy and riotous which was assigned by the Judges of the Election as a reason why they could not or wo'd. not keep the election open, and that the ballots as taken were looked at and examined by Henry Barnes � that James Simms also a Candidate and whom the Judges have declared elected Sheriff told his friends to take possession of the house and keep the same till midnight and that he would find them in grog � and that a number of people thereupon became very riotous. Your Memorialists pray that a Commission may not issue to the said James Simms as Sheriff of Charles County, but as three hundred or more voters were upon the Spot and desirous and willing to vote if not prevented by such ill conduct a new election may be had for the said Office of Sheriff and that a day may be appointed for your Memorialists to bring forward proof to substantiate the facts above set forth and your Memorialists will pray &ca.

Char's. Mankin
Benja. Cawood
