      (Note: This record erroneously lists him as "jr", he was not a junior.)

      Jacob and Virginia adopted two children, Frederick and Sue Zann (spellings are according to Jake). Jake says he never knew his father because he passed away when he was quite young. He says his mother had one sister, Ida, and four brothers, Dewey, Orville, Harvey and Corey. (Per Family Group Sheets for Martin Henry Drollinger and Ida Clara Simpkins/Azalia Emeline Roberts and a second one just for Martin Henry and Azalia both produced by Martin and Azalia's son, Jacob "Jake" Manford and given to me by him. David H. Drollinger)

      Jake and Virginia never had any other spouses. They remained married to one another and lived together from the time they were married until Jake's death.
