Blessing is said to be the daughter of Thomas Mann. She married James Viverette, son of Thomas Viverette and Elizabeth Hickman about 1803 in Nash County. James and Blessing have 10 known children.
Information found in the state library in Raleigh, dated 30 Sep 1993: Letter from Mrs. Gerard J. Zell to Shuila S. Stover, Bunn, NC (This info was pasted into the John Randle Jordan book )
"Blessing Mann was a full blood Indian - her name was (originally) Cynthia Nation, (she) was raised by Mann. Note: Mann (Emanuel) was in Va - and in the Northern migration is a "core" name of the Ramapo tribe, Bergen Co. N. J. Tradition/oral history says "Tuscarora". In N. C. - Mann/Emanuel apopears often amongst East Coast Indians. See NGS 1993 DeMarce
Based on my DNA it is unlikely that Blessing Mann was an Indian if I am descended from her. My DNA (Ancestry) has no Indian genes.
We've chatted by email before. I'm Robert Greene, my tree is Wilbur (Pete) Greene, son of Richard Greene, son of William Greene whose wife was Blessing Jackson Viverette.(Blessing Mann's granddaughter)
Too bad, I've heard the rumor from the Bailey side and the Greene/viverette side

Family Record of James Viverette and Blessing (Mann) Viverette: James Viverette, son of Thomas and Ellizabeth Viverette, married Blessing Mann whose family lived near Old Barnes Mill on Toisnot Swamp in what is now Wilson County, N. C. about 1803. The Viverettes lived on the Raleigh-Tarboro State Road about eight miles west of Rocky Mount. They are buried in the old Viverette cemetery on the M. T. Williams place. Their graves are not marked, but are along side that of their daughter Betsy (Elizabeth) who married Andrew Jackson Williams. The younger members of the Mann family left North Carolina and went to Texas. This information was from Pattie Dawes Williams, who married Samuel Boggans Williams in 1857. Blessing Mann died about 1860. The elder Manns are buried on the old farm in Wilson County. Betsy Viverette Williams gave her mother's Family Bible to her granddaughter Cora Williams Rice, who in turn gave it to her daughter, Tina Rice Moss. This Bible was burned on the night of November 6, 1933, when the
Moss home near Soso, Miss., was burned to the ground. However, careful copies had been made for other members of the family, and it is from one of these copies, that the following record is made.)
