Jerauld Newland Ezra Mann (June 26, 1796 - April 15, 1857[1]) was sheriff of Norfolk County, Massachusetts from 1843 to 1848.[2][3][4]
Mann was born in Medfield, Massachusetts on June 26, 1796.[1] Mann learned the trade of a carriage painter from Messrs Bird of Walpole.[1] In 1823 he went to Easton where he remained but a short time, removing the year following to Taunton where he remained five years.[1] He then went to Wrentham and thence to Dedham where he took the place of his brother-in-law, Major TP Whitney, as Deputy Sheriff and Jailer.[1]
On the death of Sheriff John Baker II, Mann was appointed Sheriff on February 8, 1843, for a term of five years.[1] At the end of his term he declined a reappointment, but continued to act as Deputy Sheriff and Jailer until July 1855 when failing health compelled his resignation.[1] Mann soon after removed to Vernon, Connecticut the residence of his youngest daughter.[1] He died there on April 15, 1857.[1]
Mann's portrait is in the collection of the Dedham Historical Society.[2][3]
