What version of cygwin you are using?
I would assume if it is newer then 1.1.4
the standard search is /usr/man -- c:/<installpath>/usr/man (e.g. c:/cygwin/usr/man)

Also have a look at the on line help:
man -h  (like with the most commands)

says you should try 
man -d

this gives you all paths where it looks for man pages.
