Mann was born in Ohio.[3] He later lived in the area of Crystal River, Florida and had orange groves.
He served in the Florida Senate from 1883 until 1887.[4] He was in the Florida House in 1891. [2] 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.[5]
