| Notes |
- John Many was the son of Jean Magny and Jeanne Machet. John Many Jean Magny was born in New York City, August 31, 1698 to parents Jean Magny and Jeanne Stadt Machet and was baptized September 28 in the French Huguenot Church of Saint Esprit. At the christening his father and his AuntMarianne were his sponsors . He was the second child but first son in the family of three or four children. His father was a mariner, and evenperhaps a pirate, so probably was absent from home much of the time. Jean eventually had his named changed to 'John Many' to conform more to English North America. The sons of John and their descendants are found with many variations of the spelling: Manney, Manny, Manna, Manni, Manning, etc. Little has been found respecting the lives of those in this family. John signed the Act of Opposition of September 24, 1724, regarding the dismissal of the Reverend Mr. Rou from the French Church in New York. In the records of the Reverend Mr. Sal mon of Long Island, New York, John Many and Ann Wines were married on January 23, 1728/29. Even the births of the children have been gleaned only from the tombstones, and other sketchy evidence. This dirth of evidence is thought to result from th e opinion that the family lived in the West Indies. This would be logical since John's parents and grandparents, on his mother's side, had substantial economic interests there. John Many and Ann Wines had four sons: John Wines, Barnabas, James and Gabriel. The first born was known by his middle name 'Wines'. Wines, James and Gabriel became carpenters, constructing the Colden Mansion, a large house about six miles west of Newburgh, New York, whose date-stone says it was built in 1767. Wines became a land holder in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, NY. James became a farmer at Poughkeepsie, as did Barnabas at Craigsville.
