I have a strange group of DNA matches who, when they have a tree, have the surname McManus prominent. They seem to be only distantly related to me (circa 6th cousin level). I've tried to find a link but so far I've drawn a blank.

This morning I found that one of my new matches was in this group and had a tree which included  Adam, First Man,  b. 0001, Garden of Eden and died 1000, Cannan. He has him having 2 sons, Cain and Abel, both born and dying in Eden. I've only got as far as the As but assume that there will be  an Eve when I get to the Es. As you can imagine, it's a very large tree (Apple?) comprising 60522 people.

Did they find a Will for Cain?

Only 60522 people? Obviously a work-in-progress. It might have 60 million on when you look at it again.

Edit. I've spotted 2 obvious mistakes.
 1. Death place of Cain and Abel. Adam & Eve left Eden before their sons were born. Correct place of death for Cain should be East of Eden.
 2. No mention of Seth, third son.
I suppose there was no mention of daughters.

Confusing her with another famous Biblical Mary, Mary Magdalene, herself confused with other women in the Bible named Mary. We know how difficult it is sorting out various wives, mothers, sisters etc by that name in 18th & 19th centuries.
 Btw I saw Magdalene as Maudland in a parish register. Magdalene College is pronounced Maudlin.

So Eve was 932 years old when she died?

Was she still having children?
