Generation C consists of only one 'Man' at the present time, namely, Jonas Man (1596 - 1661/2), born in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire.  At this time his parents are unknown since his baptismal record does not give the name of his father (the name of the mother was not customarily given in those days); thus his siblings are unknown too.  Though the parish records for Hambleden start in 1566, a marriage record that could be construed as being that of Jonas's parents has not been found.  A search of records in the parishes surrounding Hambleden is in progress.
