Deborah Little, an Episcopal priest.
Mannis attended Yale (1966), Yale Law School (1969), and is currently a student at the Harvard Divinity School. He edited (with Galen Wilson) a book of civil war letters, Bound to be a Soldier: the Letters of James T. Miller (Knoxville: University of Tennessee, 2001), and is working on a book about Joseph Tuckerman.
Jed and his wife Joyce live in Winchester, Massachusetts, where he has been actively involved in municipal affairs, most recently as the chair of the town's Conservation Commission.
