Phoebe Mann was born about 1755 in Virginia. Her parents were Francis Mann Jr. and Obedience Mann. This and other Mann information is from Family History, Caldwell and another simply titled Caldwell, which was hand written.  I found the first in the Caldwell County KY and the Christian County Ky libraries.  The second was found in the Logan County KY Library.

Phoebe married David Varna Caldwell about 1773. He was born in what would become Charlotte County Virginia on Cub Creek. Her grandfather died in Amelia County, not far away. It is probable that they married in southern Virginia.

Many of the Caldwell's moved to central Kentucky in the 1780s. David and Phoebe were there by 1782. They moved near Danville KY. The Filson's Map of Kentucky 1784 has a point near Danville marked "Caldwell's Station 

 The Family History, Caldwell shows the close connection of the Caldwell and Mann families, three sets of siblings married. David Varna Caldwell married Phoebe Mann. John Caldwell married Dicey Mann, and his sister Mary Thankful Alice Caldwell married Beverly Mann, brother to Phoebe and Dicey. It is probable that all these weddings took place in Virginia.

The children of David Varna and Phoebe listed in the Family History were:
1. Josiah Jackson Caldwell born 1774 - a church leader at Mud Meeting House
2. Thomas Caldwell born 1776
3. Frances Mann Caldwell born Aug 3, 1778 wed Nancy Davidson
4. Sally Caldwell born 1780
5. David Caldwell born May 15, 1782 wed Catherine Davidson he was born in Ky
6. James Caldwell born 1783
7. Dicey Caldwell born 1785 wed Currey McAfee
8. William Caldwell born 1787 married first Mary Henderson, second Rachel Rannick
9. Phoebe Caldwell born 1790 wed Archibald Adams
10. John Caldwell born 1790, War of 1812 vet, wed Mary Knox
11. Cary Allen Caldwell born 1792
12. Betsey Caldwell born 1795 wed Samuel Walker Caldwell
13. Jackson Mann Caldwell born 1797
14. Samuel Caldwell born 1799

It is not known when Phoebe died. She lived to at least 1799.

According to Family History, Caldwell, David Varna Caldwell died in Logan County in 1840. However, we have different information from the Caldwell Chatgroup on the Web. It stated that David Varna died in Mercer County on March 26, 1840.
