After sixteen years of preparation on the part of the un- dersigned the present volume is issued from the press. Information relating to the early mule members, and to many of the female lines of that period, has been derived chiefly from public records, in manuscript, of States, counties, towns, cluirches, etc. In the li- braries of several different cities hundreds of town histories and other valuable books were carefully examined in the early stages of tlie work, and certain facts were thereby gained, but it was the plan to find, when possible, the sources of previous writers' state- ments and deductions, in the old public records, and to draw from the latter exactly as if the items had not been read by others. Be- cause of this, and because details pertaining to the family which have previously been printed constitute but a small fi iction of the whole, it may be said that the authorities for the statements of this work are the original records. When it has been found im- possible to learn whence a previous writer derived his information, he has been credited with the statement at the point where it appears in these pages. All possible care has been used to make individual connec- tions and the biographical sketches of early members accurate. As to dates taken from old town and church records, it is hoped that, in making copies, slips of the pen have been avoided. In the re- ports of living members, concerning more recent events, errors of date have appeared which were so noticeable that they were at once detected and, upon request, were corrected by the senders; but it would be surprising if there were not others which could not be detected, and which, consequently, are incorporated in these pages. The responsibility of this volume as to comparatively modern dates which have been received by mail must be disclaimed. The list of soldiers of the Rebellion, on page 36, should in- clude the names of Nathaniel J. Manning, 1561a, John S. Man- ning, 1561d, Isaac S. Manning, 1561e, and Thomas W. IManning, (iii) IV INTRODUCTION. 1561/. The omission is regretted, but the list was in print before their records were received. Having been sole publisher of this volume the compiler hopes that the general appearance thereof, and the arrangement of rec- ords, will be satisfactory to subscribers. To them he will say that, while the arrangement is his own, the outline plan is common to all genealogical works. These, however, differ widely in many particulars, and, adopting what has been considered the best fea- tures of all, he has sought to present these records in a form whereby simplicity, clearness, and facility of examination should be secured. During the preparation of the genealogy, letters were re- ceived from individuals of the name of Manuiug who did not be- long to the family, and, in some cases, from those whose early ancestry could not be determined. Believing that these re[)orts will, in the future, be useful to some one who undertakes a similar work relating to the Manning families of the Middle and Southern States, an abstract of the letters will be made in a manuscript book and placed in the library of the Long Island Historical Society, of Brooklyn, N. Y. ; and, if the letters are destroyed, the abstract will contain every item and clew to be found in the letters. A few branches of the two families dealt with in this volume have not been traced, and the writer will be glad, at any time, to hear from those who can give information concerning them, and especially from representatives of said branches. The compiler's present address is not a permanent residence, and if, after a few years, correspondents find it impossible to reach him thus, by mail, they are requested to address him at " Manning Manse," North Bil- lerica, Mass. Also, it is suggested that, in the future, all members keep as closely as possible in touch with the Manning Association, as mentioned on page 75, and that all births, marriages and deaths be reported and recorded at the family headquarters at North Billerica. A limited number of extra copies of this volume have been printed, and may be secured while they last. For a short time the price will remain unchanged, but, as advance subscribers were given the benefit of a reduced rate, the price will, in due time, be raised to the regular rates for such works.

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES. The P1\ruest Mannings Known to Histoky. The ancestors of the present members of the Manning families early founded in this country were from tlngland, where representatives of the general family had long been numerous. It is claimed that British records, published by order of Parliament, show that the name occurred in twenty-two counties in that king- dom as earl}' as the year 1272. The predecessors of these early inhabitants went to England from what is now Germany. All Englishmen of the present time make this statement. The name is now common in Ireland, and by some of its possessors is sup- posed to be purely Irish, but in the course of an extensive corre- spondence the writel" has found that all highly educated Irishmen agree on two points ; first, that the name was there introduced by emigrants from England, and secondly, that at a more remote period the family was of the same origin as has been mentioned above. These accounts differ slightly as to the particular Conti- nental province whence their ancestors came, but nine-tenths of them unite in saying that the family was of Saxon origin. For- tunately, we have something more definite and of a previous date to aid us. In Hasted's Kent (County of Kent, England), pub- lished in 1797, occurs the following reference to the Mannings : "They are said to be descended from an ancient and noble family which took its name from Manning, a town in Saxony, whence they came to I^ngland before the Conquest." Simon de Manning was the earliest representative of the family mentioned by Hasted, and of him there is now general knowledge in England. His home was at Downe, County Kent. (1) 2 THE MANNING FAMILY. He lived in the time of King Richard I, who reigued A.D. 1189- 1199, and "was the first of the P^nglish barons to take up the cross and go with King Richard to the Holy Wars " in the Second Crusade, when he was knighted. This was considerably later than the Conquest, but in a subsequent part of this article will be found a statement tending to bridge this gap. After the time of the above Simon the family steadily in- creased in numbers, and when this country was settled, it was, as before stated, numerous in England. Wills and other valuable papers are on record there, and the admirable work of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, in having abstracts thereof made and printed in their " Register." makes it possible to learn of many different persons of the Manning name who lived and died prior to 1700. None of the ancient wills thus far examined mentions relatives in America, and until something of the kind is discovered it can only be said that we know the general race from which we have descended. The connection exists, but the con- necting link has not been found. Despite this fact it is believed that interest will be felt in an account which mentions some of these early Mannings, and that, instead of resorting to selections from different publications, it may be well to quote what is said by Hasted. His mention of the family has the merit of age, and nowhere else has anything been found that is at once so connected and comprehensive. It here follows : DowNE. — John Manning was of Cowdham, and died in the 14th year of King Henry IV [A.D. 1412], " leaving John Man- ning, his son, who by Juliana, daughter and heir of Richard Brockhill, had Hugh Manning of St. Mary's Cray, who married the daughter of Sir W^illiam Brandon, by whom he had two sons, of whom Richard, the youngest, settled at St. Mary's Cray, where his posterity continued until within these few years;" and John, the eldest, married Agues, daughter of John Petley, of Downe, "who, on the division of the inheritance of the Petley heirs became entitled to the manor of Downe-court. He died possessed of it in the 35th j^ear of King Henry VHI [1543], and lies buried with Agnes his wife in this church. His descendant, Peter Manning, Esq., of Trowmer, in the reign of King James I [1603-1625] alienated this manor, and in 1657 it was in possession of John Palmer;" but " the seat itself, since called Downe Court, was by his son, Henr}' Manning, Esq., of Greenwich, separated from the GENERAL AKTICLE.S. 6 manor and sold to Sir Francis Carew, Downe is within tlie eccle- siastical jurisdiction of the diocese of Rochester. It is a peculiar of the archbishop of Canterbur}', and as such is in the deanery of Shoreham. In the great chancel of the church, on the south side of the altar, is a gravestone and brass plate with inscription in black letter for John INIanning and Agnes his wife ; he died in 1543 ; above, a shield of arms, being a cross flory between four cinquefoils impaling two licnds ingrailed and a canton. On the south side, a gravestone and memorial for Edward Manning, once of Prince Charles' household, youngest son of Peter Manning, Esq., of Ti'owmer. and Elizabeth his wife, daughter and coheir of Jacob Verzeliui, lord of the manor of Downe, obt. 1622, oet. 20." CowDiTAM. — "■ Richard de Chersholt had property in the hamlet of Bertrey, or Bettred, and held the reeveship of the manor of Bertrey under Geoffrey de Sa3% who discharged him from this office in the 15th year of King Edward II [A. D. 1316]. He died without male issue, and his daughter and heir carried the estate, which he held in it, in marriage to William de INIanning who died in the 17th year of King Edward III [A. D. 1343]. He was the son of Stephen de Manning, of Avhom there is mention in old deeds of the time of King Edward I [A. D. 1272-1302], w^ho de- scended from Simon de Manning to whom John Silvester, of West^rham, demised land by deed in the 14th year of King Rich- ard I [A. D. 1202], and who was engaged in the holy war against the Saracens under that king. They are said to be descended from an ancient and noble family which took its name from Man- ning, a town in Saxony, whence the}' came to England before the Conquest, and some of them are said to have settled in Friesland. They bore for their arms. Gules, a cross potence, or flory, be- tween four cinquefoils or. From him it descended to Hugh Man- ning who settled at St. Mary's Cray and left two sons, of whom John, the elder, was of Downe, and Richard, the younger, of Kevington in St. Marj^'s Cray, where his posterit}' remained until within these few years. Kevington was for some generations the residence of the Mannings. In the reign of King Henr}' IV [A.D. 1399-1413] John Manning was settled in the parish of Cowdham. His son of the same name was also of that parish, and died 14 Henry VI [A. D. 1435], leaving by Juliana, his wife, daughter of Richard Brockhill, one son, Hugh Manning, who was of St. Mary's Cray and married the daughter of Sir "William Brandon, kins- 4 THE MANNING FAMILY. ■womiiu to Charles, duke of Suffolk, by \vboai he had two sous — Johu, who settled at Downe, from whom descended the Mauuings of Downe, Halsted and Westerham ; and Richard, who continued at St. Mary's Cray and had three sons ; of wliom Richard,* sou of Thomas, the eldest, is said in his epitaph to have been of Man- ning's Hall, the old family seat. He lies Ijuried in this church witii the rest of his family. The Heraldric Visitations of Kent, 1619, gives the arms of Manning — Gules, across potence between four cinquefoils or.

John Manning, youngest sou of Richard above mentioned, was of Kevington, and had two sons, Edward, who was bred to the law, and Richard ; the former of whom succeeded to this manor in 1640. Edward Manning, great grandson of Edward, the j'oungest son of Edward above mentioned, succeeded at length to Keving- ton and married Anne, only daughter of Sir Henry Onslow. He died in 1703 and was buried in this church; on which Richard Manning, Esq., their eldest surviving son, succeeded to the manor and resided at Kevington, where he died 1753 without issue."

Of the extracts here given from Hasted's Kent that relat- ing to Downe has here been slightly recast, and the article on the Hundred of AVesterham is abridged, while the accounts of Cowd- ham and the Church of St. Mary's Cray are given without any change. Ten years ago an American gentleman sent an English photographer to the church, and the report of the latter is here given : " We visited the church of St. Mary's Cray, Kent, on August 11, 1891, for the purpose of photographing the monu- ments which covered the walls of the church to various members of the Manning family from 1100 to 1640. Finding the walls of the church quite clear of memorial stones, etc., we made inquiries of the verger, who told us that the present church was rebuilt about 1(550, and since that date has been restored several times. The monuments from 1100 to 1640 appear to have been destroyed at the time of building the present church in the year 1650. Nothing which referred to the Mannings could be found in the present church, except two monuments of slate with bronze figures on the floor of the sanctuary, one either side of the altar, and these being right in the corner of the church, it was impossible to take a photograph. The following are exact copies : ' Here Richard Manning lies, Son of Thomas Manning, he dwelt & died at Mannings' Hall. He departed Sept'" 22"'^ A.D. 1605 in the 72°*^ year of his age.' The second read : ' Here lyeth buryed the body of Richard Manning, Son of John Manning Gent. Who tooke to wife Rachael one of *^y Daughters & Co heyres of W" White of Hamsteed in Middlesex with whome having happily lyved to the service of God, & relief of the poore 39 yeares, in the 63'' j^eare of his age he dyed without issue the 18 Jau> 1604 his wife yet surviving purposeth by God's permission to be here, interred by him at her death in whose fellowship she enjoyed '^y comfort of her life.' " These two stones are mentioned by Hasted. To one who has followed the evidence thus far several questions naturally arise, with a desire to have a confusion of statements removed. As it cannot now be done, the matter will not be enlarged upon here. Cardinal Manning wrote, in 1884, as follows : " As to the family in England there were three branches, one in Kent, a second in Sussex, and a third in Norfolk, all bearing the same shield, a cross with four trefoils, the crests slightly varying, an GENERAL ARTICLES. 7 eagle's head on a crown, with either two feathers or two palm branches ; the motto the same in all cases ] know of except one, viz , 3falo mori quam foeclari" [I would rather die than be dis- graced] . It has been shown that the family name was at one time De Manning, but that the prefix was finally dropped. Mark Antony Lower, M.A., F.S.A., in his " Dictionary of the Family Names of the United Kingdom," showing the derivation of sur- names, says : "Manning. An ancient personal name, still seen in Manningham, Mannington, Manningtree, etc. Mr. Ferguson de- rives it from the O. Norse manningi, a brave or valiant man." About the year 1860 there was an English traveler in this country who passed under tlie name of Colonel St. George, but who, in private, declared himself to be a younger brother of Cardinal Manning. To several Americans whom he met he gave written accounts of the early English Mannings. Certain state- ments in these accounts cannot be accepted, but in the' main they agree so well with what has been quoted from Hasted that it seems well to give an extract from his manuscript relating to an earlier date than appears in the preceding : ''The family of Manning came into England from Mannheim, Germany, of which Ranulph de Mannheim was Count Palatine, in the year 940. He married Elgida, aunt to King Harold, and had lai'ge grants of land in the county of Kent, which included the towns of Downe, Cowdham, St. Mary's Cray, Crayford and Toots Cray." In another of this traveler's accounts there was a variation (unless some one misread his writing) whereby the above name was made " Rudolph de Manning, or Mannheim," and the year of emigration, 970. This second account states that Rudolph was grandfather of Simon de Manning; the same Simon mentioned by Hasted. The present writer has not found reference to Rudolph, otherwise Ranulph, in any old English work; perhaps it has been overlooked. In the lack of such corroboration the statements of this paragraph are given without comment. It will be noticed that Hasted says that the Mannings went to P'.ngland from " Manning, a town in Saxony." The present Mannheim, in Germany, however, lies some forty miles southwest of Frankfort, and considerably removed from the bounds of the Saxony of the year 1000. In view of this conflict of facts it may O TTIE MAXNIXG FAMILY. be useless to say more of the present Mannheim, yet two items will be given. It (Mannheim') is one of the comparatively modern cities of Germany, and it is only since the 17th century that it has been of any importance, while its early history is told in a Gei-man Encyclopedia thus : '• On the site of Mannheim there lay since the 8th century, in the neighboi'hood of a former Roman settlement, the Villa Manniheim, belonging to the monastery of Larsch." The German word Mannheim is of two parts, Mann being the same as the English " man," and heim meaning " home," but, in the opinion of a German scholar, this does not appear to be a likely explanation of the name. He believes, rather, that "Mann" is merely the termination of some old German tribal name ending in manni^ as, for instance, the Alemanni. The last three paragraphs are given for what they are worth. The Early Mannings of America. The first settlements in what is now the United States had not long been made when our family name was introduced here by settlers of the name of Manning. Here their descendants have remained ever since, increasing in numbers until they are now to be found by the thousands. Almost from the first planting of the Colonies they had part in tlie development and conduct of the country. They have been represented in almost every line of endeavor, manual, business and professional. For one hundred years they took part in the Colonial wars, and they fought in the Revolution, the war of 1812, the Rebellion and the war with Spain. It is believed that they performed their full proportionate part in these wars. They have been numerous in the North, and, it would seem equally so in the South. Maryland and Virginia have been liberally peopled by them, and perhaps the other Southern states had as large a representation. As this compilation has dealt with another section it cannot be here stated from whom the Mannings of the South descended, although settlers bearing the name earlj^ went to Virginia. In the North there were two families early founded in Massachusetts which have been continued to the pres- ent time, and one in New Jersey ; and later came other settlers. In due place in this volume more extended information will be given of these settlers, but a brief chronological table bearing upon the subject may be introduced here. GENERAL ARTICLES. 9 1607. Settlement of Jiunestown, V;i. 1620. Settlement of Plymouth, Mass., by the INIay flower pilgrims. 1623. Portsmouth, N. II., settled. 1628. Salem, jMass., settled. 1629. The charter of Massachusetts was granted, and Charlestown, hyun and Weymouth were settled. 1630. Boston, Dorchester, Roxbur3% Watertown and jNIed- ford were settled. 1634. William Manning, ancestor of the large Cambridge family, located about this time at Cambridge. 1634. John Manning was at Ipswich, and, 1636, Thomas Manning appeared in the same town. It cannot be asserted that their families were long continued in the male line. 1641. John Manning, probably a different John, was an inhabitant of Boston. His family died out in the male line with his children. 1653. George Manning was at Boston. Probably all his sons died unmarried. 1662. Nicholas Manning settled at Salem as early as this date, and being followed from P^ugland, in 1679, by his mother, brothers and sisters, these brothers became the ancestors of the present Salem-Ipswich familj'. 1676. Jeffrey Manning settled, as early as this year, in Pis- cataway township. New Jersey, and was the ancestor of the large and important New Jersej'^ family, of which President James Manning, of Brown College, was a representative. Service of the Mannings in the Early Wars. From the time when there was the first need of their aid to the present day the Manning families have been represented in the wars of the Colonies and the Republic, and, it is believed, gener- ously represented in proportion to their numbers. They have taken part in every war unless that with Mexico was an exception ; of that ])eriod there is no report. In this volume each member's service is entered in his individual sketch, and furthermore, a list of the names of all soldiers of all our wars appears, grouped, just before the genealogical records of each family. The present section is not in anj' sense a complete history of the service of any known member; such a history appears only in his individual 10 THE MANNING FAMILY. sketch. This article is a summary of what has been found on the official rolls of the wars before 1800 (not after), and is merely a list for convenient reference. In the early wars there was service rendered, and entered on the rolls, which cannot now be allotted with certainty to any particular person. These cases appear here, together with service that is understood. When the identity of the soldier is known his individual number will be given in paren- thesis immediately after his name, while the unallotted service will be placed in form where others can study the respective instances at their leisure. The scarcity of names of Connecticut soldiers of the Colonial wars is due to the fact that there are, as yet, but few rolls in the possession of the State. Tliese are being aug- mented by acquisitions from towns and private individuals, and the next ten years will doubtless see large additions of rolls and a corresponding increase of IManning names. Unfortunately, tills work must go to press without these names, for no one knows where to find the scattered rolls, which come to light only through the force of circumstances. The abbreviations which follow, other than those in common use, refer to the families dealt with in this volume. " Camb." means, a member of the Cambridge family; " S. I.," the Salem-Ipswich family; "Mis.," the miscel- laneous families at the end of the book. Index numbers refer to the original volumes. No effort has been made to include any service but that rendered with the troops of the New P^ngland States. Colonial Wars. Abnek Manning (Camb. 186). Mass. troops. Uuder Capt. Wm. Flint and Col.

Revolutionary War. lu this war there is a good deal of service which cannot be allotted positively. It may be accepted that very little of it was performed by individuals who are strangers to us ; it was almost 14 THE MANNING FAMILY. wholl_y performed by members who are duly mentioned here in the genealogies of the various families, but where there were several men of the same name, all of an age to render them fit for service, it is sometimes impossible to decide which one rendered the ser- vice. When the State of Massachusetts has completed the publi- cation of its Rolls something more may be learned by comparing the Manning soldiers with their captains. Had the plan of the publication by the State been to print all Rolls precisely as they appear on the original papers, instead of presenting the soldiers in alphabetical order from A to Z, it would, when they are issued from tiie press, have been far easier to identify soldiers. By the plan adopted each soldier will be detached from his command, and search to learn who a certain soldier's company comrades were Avill be a task of stupendous ditficulty. Connecticut has printed its Rolls in their original form, for which all who have occasion to investigate that period have cause to be thankful. The Manning soldiers of New Enaland follow here.

Cooper. The History of the Family History. Several members of the Mauuiug family have expressed their surprise that so much could be learned of the early genera- tions. This has led me to think that mention of the chief sources whence the information was obtained would be of interest, and that an account of the compilation of the genealogy might well be added. I have hesitated to introduce such a section, lest it miglit seem to give my work undue prominence, but, as it is in no sense autobiographical, there seems to be no good reason why it should be omitted, and several reasons why it may well be in- cluded. The personal pronoun " I " is not agreeable in print, but only by using it in this section can coherence of statement be maintained. I began the Manning Genealogical and Biographical History in the year 1885. If I had foreseen that it was to be a task of sixteen 3'ears, and one of so many trials as have occurred, the be- ginning would never have been made. For a few years the way was plain and simple ; it was easy, by means of wills and deeds, pub- licly recorded, to learn in what towns the members of the early generations had been chiefly located, and to search the records of such towns, while the discovery of such living members as were 22 THE MANNING FAMILY. residing in the New P^uglaucl States and adjacent territory was but little more difficult. The result was a very rapid accumulation of records, so that, within the following" three years, a total of about 2,000 names had been gathered into my collection. All this, as I have said, was easy — so easy, compared with my later work, that I am led to say that the compilers of the numerous incomplete histories which have been printed of other families do not realize what the experiences are of one who labors long and persistently to gather all members into the fold and discover all the facts of their lives. As I continued my task I ascertained that several other rep- resentatives of the family had become interested in the subject at diffei'ent dates, and had gathered their own ancestral lines, together with some collateral material ; and these collections, to be mentioned below, were placed in my hands and added to my own. In the East various town histories had been printed with family registers as adjuncts, and the above-mentioned members had made copies of the Manning items therein. As I already had these thej^ added nothing to my records, but they represented labor on the part of the copyists which meant something to them. What they liad done additionally also repeated my work in many instances, but what was new was valuable and fully appreciated by me. Those to whom I was chiefly indebted will be mentioned here. The late Edward Manning, of the Cambridge family [1778] began, about 1870, the collection of records and continued until forced to abandon the work by lack of time and other obstacles. Himself a descendant of the branch that was established about 1720 at Windham, Ct., his investigation related primarily and principally to certain lines of that branch, and made it unnecessary for me to visit Windham and the adjoining towns, as I should otherwise have done had I not received his notes in 1890. Omitting mention of what has been sent in that repeated what I had previously gath- ered, and now referring to what was strictly new, his was the largest single contribution I received ; and I found him a careful and reliable collector. During the last decade, after the minute plan of this work developed, I have received valuable aid from his son, George E. Manning [2886] in gathering items, previously considered unimportant, from the probate, land and town records of Windham and vicinity. From \yarreu H. Manning [3330] I received valuable additions to my collection at the same date men- GENERAL ARTICLES. 23 tioned above, and for a time, about 1890, we corresponded and exchanged items, but pressure of other business compelled him to abandon genealogical work. I am also indebted in a lesser degree to so many others that they cannot be named here, though their interest and kindness have been fully appreciated. The practice of copying items from town histories has been referred to here. This was one of the first things I did ; it was largely done b}' two of those members here mentioned by name, and in a measure b}' many others, and these interested friends have sent me the same copies from all parts of the country. Even now, after my sixteen y^ears of application, I occasionally receive such copies. It is a strik- ing tribute to the popularity of such histories. By 1891 all minor collections had been added to my own, which had become of good size, but all material then gathered had been of the kind found with comparative ease, and the work, de- spite my six years of application, was only about one-quarter done. The great West had not been canvassed ; there were many missing members, and there were serious and troublesome myster- ies to solve. Right here lay the deep study and hard labor of the undertaking, and it is a matter of satisfaction that I was able to make a personal investigation of everything, and that ten years of additional work was bestowed bv me upon the points just named. Missing members I found chiefly by means of the 300 or more city, county, and state directories in the otflce of the Trow Direc- tory Co., of N. Y. City ; these being descendants of early mem- bers who had removed from their native places one hundred or more years before, and had become lost to the knowledge of col- lateral relatives at the old homes. Of these the greater part were of the Windham, Ct., branch, and included, among others of that branch, Samuel [120], David [121], Phineas [127], Elias [393], David [397], Ripley [399], Dan [404], Joseph [406], Stephen [442], Alfred [868] and Oliver E. Manning [878], and their de- scendants, all of whom, a numerous army, were found by means of the directories. This source of help enabled me to canvass, in a large degree, the whole United States, and cannot be accorded too much praise. I perceived that, to solve the mysteries surrounding early members, I must see and minutel}' examine all State, county, town, church, and court records. A faint idea of what I have done to this end in the last ten years may be gained from the 24 THE MANXIXG FAMILY. accompanying list, but it will suggest very little of the wearisome applicatiou I gave to the many hundreds of volumes iu old-style writing, which was often very bad penmanship. It was my wish to discover ever}'^ instance in which the Manning name appeared ou these old volumes, and, as far as possible, I did so. This was the most tiresome part of my task, but the reward was not only the casting of light on the aforesaid mysteries, but the finding of a wealth of material relating to the early members which has served to supply the biographical sketches which appear iu this volume. Until this was done very little was known of them in a biographical w^ay. Printed books to the number of 1,000 or 1,500 have been examined by me, though results have been limited. For eight years I had constant access, through my membership, to one of the best genealogical and historical libraries in the country, namely, the L. I. Historical Society, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Many books wnthout indexes have been examined line by line, and for the time named my application in this field was laborious. I have also freely used the several libraries of New York City, and of Boston, Worcester, and several other cities. Files of early newspapers have been searched extensively by me in the libraries of Boston and Worcester. The American Antiquarian Society of the latter city has the largest collection of the kind iu America, and I had access to its files throughout two winters. Among the papers seen there was the Boston News- Letter, established in 170-4, the first permanent newspaper in the country. All other accessible early publications were seen, and the period before 1800 was covered with care, while prolonged attention was given to the period between ISOO and 1840. Returning to the subject of unprinted public records, a list may be given of what I have examined, almost wholly in the original manuscripts. Certain records searched for me b}' town clerks, probate clerks, etc., are indicated by statement to that effect and iuclosure in brackets. Everything else iu this list I have personally seen, copied from and investigated. State Papers. — Massachusetts Archives up to 1830; Mass. Acts and Resolves to about 1850 ; Mass.

'21 SO ofteu asked of me, " Where do you get information concerning the early members of the family?" It may be added that 1 have a summary, personally made, of ever}' deed wherein a Manning appears that was recorded in Middlesex Co., Mass., prior to 1«24. They number 394. I also have abstracts of all Worcester Co. deeds concerning IMaunings before 1840; all Hillsborough, N. H., deeds before 1825, and enough more of the various county registries to make a total of about 800 deeds that I have read, studied and made abstracts of, personally. I have followed many single sets of State, county and town records through a period of over 200 years each (as, for instance, the births, marriages and deaths of Cambridge for 235 years ; Chelmsford, 200 ; Medford, 200 ; Ipswich, 230 ; Salem, 230, etc.), while those followed for from 100 to 150 years are of even greater number. Imagine all these as one continuous set of records and it would be equivalent to searching such a set through many thou- sands of years, a time in comparison with which the length of the Christian era becomes short. My correspondence with town clerks of the less important towns, and with postmasters, clergymen, church clerks, judges and clerks of probate, etc., has been voluminous, while the number of letters written to members of the family is, fortunately, unknown. During the past fifteen years I have travelled extensively in the seven easternmost states, to examine state, couuty, town and church records. Some of these journeys were of nearly 500 miles each. A word as to the future. At some remote time — perhaps forty, perhaps seventy-five years hence, — when this history has become out of date, some member of the family, possibly now unborn, will be impelled to the commendable task of bringing the record of the Manning family down to that date by adding the new generations. He will do a praiseworthy work. If he reviews the early generations he will do so under conditions very different from those that have confronted me. The belief that old public records should be printed is fast gaining ground, but, as yet, the amount of printing actually done is small. The next twenty-five years will see many additions. Instead of searching old manuscript records which are in strange, obscure, obsolete writing, and with- out an index, and to be found only at one public office, the gene 28 THE MANNING FAMILY. alogist of tlie future will sit in a library with printed aud indexed copies thereof before him. Having these indexes he will doubt- less discover items which I, being compelled to rely upon follow- ing line after line in manuscript, with no guide but the ability of the eye to catch the word " Mannuig," have overlooked. He will not knoAv what labor this vohime has cost. Some facts here stated in a single line, or less, are the result of more than ten years of investioation. Deductions and connections have been made under study and research for a decade and a half. They have been formed, in some cases, from the direct statement of old public records ; from family letters now seventy- five years old. or such a matter ; from the limited investigations in their own direct lines of various ones long since gathered to their fathers, and from the statements to the present compiler of living members now of ad- vanced years, but of unimpaired intellect, that, in their younger days, they were told certain things by those then aged but of good memory. Thus, leaving the evidence of public records out of consideration for the moment, my own conclusions have in some instances been confirmed by the statements of those born as early as 1760. Tradition is, as a rule, thoroughly unreliable, but when it is supported by other evidence, apparently trustworthy, it is valuable. As later investigators cannot depend for information upon those who were born between 1800 and 1825, it may here be said that, while far more inclined to distrust than believe tradition (the memory of the best of us is fallible) , 1 have considered that evidence of this kind was reliable when it exactly confirmed the conclusions which one could not help draAving from public records. I have taken nothing for granted ; I have given long and careful study to all points, and have made use of all known public sources of information. The result appears here. I extend a welcoming hand to that compiler of the future who may supplement my work. Old-Time Peculiarities. In this volume there will often be found what is termed a " double date," as, to illustrate, Jan. 15, 1725-6. This is because the date so appeared in the original record where, according to the practice of that time, it was correctly given. No double-date ap- pears in any year after March 25. Before 1752, when New Style succeeded Old Style, the legal year was considered to begin with March 25, though the historical year began as now, and the GENERAL ARTICLES. 29 S5'slem of double-datiug was devised to cover both cases. As, in case iustanced above, the preceding mouth was December, 1725, aud the third mouth after was April, 1726, the first of tlie double fioures iu the vear should be understood as abseut, aud the true date Jau. 15, 172G. The double dates are used iu works of this kiud to avoid confusion. If either was dropped it should be the first. Certain cities aud towns that are printing their early records are following the plau of dropping, not the first, but the second 3'ear, and tlie result is absurd. Supi)ose a mau drew his will Dec. 15, 1725. aud died Jau. 15, 1725-6. Drop the last year here aud priut the date Jau. 15, 1725, and the amazing assertion is made that the deceased signed his will eleven months after he died. These double dates were sometimes written 172|, 17f|, i|-||, etc. Another old way of writing a date was 15: 10: 1725; or 15, lOber, 1725; or 15. 10th mo. 1725, these three forms being- different ways of writing the same date, uamely, Dec. 15, 1725. Those who learn a little of this system, but do not master it iu full, usually make a mistake of just two months in rendering a date into moderu form. Uuderstaudiug that they have to deal with the 15th day of the 10th mouth, they count January as the first mouth, aud so, in this case, would make the date Oct. 15. In the early days mouths were as well known by number as by name, and then, according to the system formally adopted. ]March was called the first month. Hence, 15, 10th mo. 1725 would be Dec. 15, 1725. The money in use in the Colonies in those daj-s was mainly that of P^ngland — pounds, shillings and pence. Sometimes, for in- stance, persons wrote £15. 8sh. Sfl, and sometimes simply £15. 8. 3. The meaning was the same. Inventories of old estates that are printed in this volume present some features which are puzzling to the uninitiated. "Looking glass, 3/ " means that the article named was appraised at 3 shillings ; and "• Cane 7/6 " was an appraisement at 7 shillings and 6 pence. In this volume will be found wills and land-grants in which the word •■Item" occurs. This will sometimes be found as " Jtem." This was because I and J were used interchangeabl}' ; as were " v" and " u,"also, from which we often have " euery '' instead of " every," aud other words after the same fashion. The word *' the " was more often written " y^," perhaps to save time ; " that " was often " y' ;" and " their," sometimes " y''." If some 30 THE MANNING FAMILY. of the old documeuts quoted in these pages seem to prove that men of that day were not correct spellers, and many of them certainly were not, it should also be borne in mind that faultless spelling of that period was not the same, in many cases, as that now in use. Number of Members Included in this Volume. Seven thousand and twenty-six Manning settlers and de- scendants appear in this book. They are divided as follows : The William Manning Familj^, of Cambridge, 6014 The Richard and Anstice Manning Family, of Salem-Ipswich, 754 Miscellaneous Families, 258 Total, 7026 THE WILLIAM MANNING FAMILY OF CAMBRIDGE, MASS. General Mention. William Manning, the ancestor of this extensive family came to America about the year 1634. He first settled at Rox- bury, Mass., then the southern boundary town of Boston, but now a part of that city by annexation in 1867. There his stay was one of only a few weeks ; he removed to Cambridge, on the opposite side of Boston, where his descendants were long repre- sented. About 1662 his grandson, Samuel Manning, removed to Billerica, where the male line has been represented continuously ever since. Samuel's seven sous had no sooner reached their majority than they began the process of removal which has been going on to the present time. Samuel, the eldest of these sons, went to Cambridge about 1694, and thence to Windham, Ct., before 1720. From this branch, in later years, other towns received settlers in this man- ner : Samuel Manning [120] settled in Stratford, Ct., in 1743; David Manning [121] in Sharon, Ct., about 1751 ; Samuel Man- ning [125] in Norwich Town, Ct., before 1747; Josiah Manning [126] in Norwich, about 1750 ; Phineas Manning [127] in Stafford, Ct., in 1760; Eleazer Manning [359] in Lebanon, Ct., before 1775; Calvin Manning [366] in Coventry, Ct., before 1774; Luther Manning [367] in Lisbon, Ct., before 1786; Elias Man- ning [393] in Milton, N. Y., about 1794, and thence went to Edinburgh; David Manning [397] in Stockbridge, Mass., after the Revolution and, in 1795, removed to Lisle, Broome Co., N. Y. ; Ripley Manning [399] in Stockbridge about 1791 and, in 1798, went to Union, N. Y. ; Dan Manning [404] in Poultney, Vt., in 1783 ; Joseph Manning [406] in Poultney about 1786-90 ; Andrew Manning [413] in Tolland, Ct., before 1784; Barnabas Manning [418] in Berkshire, N. Y., at an early date; Stephen Manning (31) 32 THE MANNING FAMILY, [442] in New York State shortly after the Revolution ; Phiueas Manning [447] in Goshen, Mass., about 1775; William Manning [448] in Fort Ann, N. Y., as early as 1818, and, later, in Benson, Vt., and Thomas Manning [450] in Clermont Co., Ohio, early in the nineteenth century. John Manning, the second son, settled in Cambridge about 1697, and lived and died there. His immediate descendants were not of a migratory nature, and removals were not numerous for some generations. .Samuel Manning [37] settled in Townsend, Mass., about 1728 ; John Manning [152] in Lancaster, Mass., be- fore 1755; Edward Manning [156] in Roxbury, about 1748; Joseph Manning [169] in Providence, R. I., before 1767 ; Israel Manning [470] in Sterling, Mass., at an early date and, about 1799, in Holden ; Peter Manning [471] in Townsend in 1785; Artemas Manning [474] in Mason, N. H., about 1792 and, in 1816, in Washington in that State; Joseph Manning [475] in Royalston, Mass., before 1793 ; Samuel Manning, M.D., [481] in Westford, Billerica, Harvard and Lancaster, Mass., early in the nineteenth century; John Manning [494] in Ashby, Mass., be- fore 1783; Samuel Manning [499], Joel Manning [500], Joseph Manning [503] and Benjamin Manning [504] in Audover, Vt., 1790 or soon after, and Levi Manning [501] in Cavendish, Vt., before 1792. William Manning, the third sou, remained on his father's farm in Billerica, but, in time, his descendants scattered. Jona- than Manning [202] settled in Chelmsford, Mass., before 1775; Timothy Manning [203] in the same town ; Solomon Manning [204] in Ashburnham, Mass., in 1794; Jacob Manning [205] in Lyndeboro, N. H., about 1S06 ; Thomas Manning [209] in Andover, Slass., about 1769; Jonathan Manning [539] in Little- ton, Mass., about 1802 ; Salathiel Manning [542] in New Ipswich, N.H., before 1809 ; and Samuel Manning [561] in Dover, N. H., before 1829. Isaac Manning, the fourth son, settled in Cambridge, was living there when 57 years old, and probably died there. Three of his sons, AVilliam Manning [79], Daniel Manning [81] and Thomas Manning [84] settled in the adjoining town of Charlestown 1736- 40 ; Isaac Manning [77] in Sutton, Mass., 1733 ; Caleb Manning [235] in Salem, Mass., about 1789 ; Thomas Manning [239] iu Salem before 1783; John Manning [589] iu Salem about 1806; GENERAL ARTICLES. 33 William Manning [598] in Brunswick, Me., 1795, and, later, in Cornish and Limington, and Aaron Manning [GOO] in Tunbridge, Vt., about 1800, and, later, in Sharon, and in Danbarton, N. H., and other places. Ephraim JManuing. the fifth sou, removed about 1728 to Woodstock, Ct. Of his descendants liilly Manning [302] settled in Middlebury, Vt., about 1802 ; Ephraim Manning [307] in Cole- rain, Mass., about 1791 ; John Manning [310] in Westford, N. Y., about 1816; Abial Manning [625] in Shoreham, Vt., about 1817, and, later, went to Salisbury and Poultney and, flnall}', to Lake Geneva, Wis., and Ephraim Manning [690] in Charlotte, N. Y. Timothy Manning, the sixth son, settled first in Reading, Mass., next in Sutton, and, ultimately, in Woodstock, Ct. It is not known that his branch Avas continued in the male line to the third generation. Eliphalet Manning, the seventh son, remained in old Billerica, but, when the town was divided, became an inhabitant of Tewks- bury. In his line John Manning [339] settled in Amherst, N. H., about 1785, as did Isaac Manning [342] at about the same time; Enoch Manning [732] in Salem, Mass., about 1808 ; Abiah Man- ning [734] in Providence, R. I., about 1811, and, later, in Shes- hequin, Pa., and Lafayette, 111. ; Ruel G. ]\Lanuing [751] in Bedford, N. H., and, later, Royalton, Vt. ; Joseph Manning [752] and Nathaniel Manning [754] in Bedford, and Thomas Manning [759] in Amherst and Greenfield, N, H. Other removals preceded some of these, and many followed ; the territory of the New I^ngland States was passed soon after the Revolution ; New York was a chosen home for many, and then, with the setting in of Western emigration, the Mannings moved on. Certain of their number were always among the most ad- vanced and venturesome of settlers in the newly-acquired lands, and this continued until, now, there are representatives all the way from Nova Scotia to the Pacific ocean, and in every Northern State except two, as well as in several of the Southern States. They have liad part in the development of nearly all new regions in the country, and their efforts have been directed in nearly all professions, trades and occupations. Moreover, they have fought in all wars of the country, with one possible exception. The investigation of the compiler has brought him in con- tact with the signs left by the early generations, and certain facts 3 34 TPIE MANNING FAMILY. have been brought before him. Court records have beeu exten- sively searched for general information, but nothing has been found to show that any one of the aforesaid early representatives was ever accused of a crime, or of dishonesty of any kind, or that any one was regarded as an undesirable citizen. One case of assault upon another man has been found, which was not se- rious. It is to be hoped that the Manning of this case was slow to enter the quarrel but that, once engaged, he acquitted himself valorously. (It may be added that no crime has been committed by a later member, as far as has been discovered.) The early members were not contentious. The occurrence of the name in the Courts of Common Pleas is almost unknown ; only two cases before 1800 are recalled at this writing. It may be added that, in mentioning the " early generations," reference is had to those members who lived all, or the greater part of their lives before 1800. The War Record of the William Manning Family in the Army and Navy. Elsewhere in this volume, both in the individual sketches and in a preceding part of the book, will be found the military record of each soldier in detail. This section is only a gronping of the names. This list is as full as it can now be made, but jis tiie officials of the various States are now and then making addi- tions to their collected Rolls by acquiring other Rolls which have long been in private hands, the list of Mannings in all wars of early date will undoubtedly be increased in the next few years. This is especially the case as to the Colonial soldiers of Connec- ticut, where Rolls in official possession are few, but are being increased in number. When fully collected several new names will doubtless appear, which should be included in the following- list. The term " Colonial" will here be used, instead of making a division into Colonial and Provincial lists accord iug to historical requirements, for the reason that the first term is that in general use.

Some of the early members of tlie family probably never had gravestones, and others which are said to have been in exist- ence a generation or two ago are not now to be found. The greed of oain is stronger with the authorities of some towns and cities than reverence for the dead. It would seem that if any one thing on earth should be safe from sacrilegious molestation it should be burial places, but this is too often not the case. If a new street is wanted, or if it is desired to reduce the cost of a new public building, the old cemetery is sometimes made to furnish the de- sired accommodations. The earth is large. Why should the dead be begrudged the small space which each one occupies ? It is be- lieved that, on the whole, the Manning graves have been fairly free from this evil, and, as a result, many old memorial stones are j^et to be found. The compiler of this volume has taken great pains to find all that remain in those towns where, formerl}', the family was the most numerous, and the result will be seen here. If this work had been made as full as was desired, all stones to the memory of the first seven generations would be included, but it has not been deemed advisable to make a long journey to some remote town where the Mannings were sparsely represented for a generation or two onl}', especially as experience in several cases of the kind showed that no stones existed. But all of the towns where the family was numerous have been visited, careful search made, and full copies of inscriptions drawn off. This has been done personally by the compiler in Cambridge, Billerica, Towns- end, Andover, Chelmsford, Ashby and Tewksbury, Mass., Wood- stock, Ct., and Andover, Vt. (A dozen or more minor Manning towns visited by the compiler to see cemeteries are not mentioned here, as results were meagre.) In making copies great care was taken to do everything so that they might be reproduced in this 38 THE MANNING FAMILY. volume exactly as the old stones are inscribed. The copies here given are thus exact. The division of lines is the same ; the punctuation is the same, and each word is here in letters large or small just as on the stones. In brief, copies are as accurate in all respects as thej- could be made. Early Manning Graves at Cambridge, Mass. Overlooking Harvard Square, and only a stone's throw from some of the buildings of Harvard University, is the old cemetery of Cambridge — a " church-yard" in the full sense, since it is di- rectly in the rear of such an edifice. In this inclosure may be found the oldest gravestones of the family of which we have any knowledge. They are those of William Manning of the second generation and his wife Dorothy, who died respectively^ March 14, 1690-1, and July 26, 1692. These memorials are side b}^ side. They are about twenty' inches wide, and of about the same height. They are of a light slate color and remarkabl}' well preserved ; indeed, appearances indicate that they will endure for many years to come, and, despite their present age, outlast many of the more modern works of the kind that surround them. The inscriptions are well lettered, though un symmetrical as to the relative begin- ning and ending of the lines. Both have a wide border of fancy engraving on the sides, and a narrow border under the inscrip- tions. Each has near the upper edge a death's-head, a pair of cross-bones and an hour-glass, and that of the husband has a "face" common to old gravestones, of doubtful artistic design, at each of the upper corners. There are footstones which bear their initials, and are of nearly the same size as the headstones. The footstone to Mr. Manning's grave is less than a yard from the head of the horizontal memorial stone of Nathaniel Appleton, D.D., Fellow of the Corporation of Harvard College and for sixty-six years pastor at Cambridge, who died Feb. 9, 1784. The location is not far from the center of tlie cemetery. On three sides of the graves of William and Dorothy Manning is a considerable extent of ground not marked by any headstone, and now so nearly level as to show no mound; but there, the writer believes, other family members lie in the eternal sleep of earth. There, it may be, rests Susannah, wife of William Manning of the first generation ; there, GEXEKAL ARTICLES. 39 beyoud doubt, is John ^[auuiug, son of William and Dorothy ; there, perhaps, are John and Isaac Manning, of tlie fourth gene- ration. It would be strange if every foot of this vacant space were not sacred to some one of the family, a theorj' all the more reasonable because, bej'ond that space, some twenty feet away, is a group of stones where lie Mannings of a more modern date. "Who rest in this group may be learned by the list below. The numbers are those of the members in the records. All inscriptions to the memory of the Mannings now to be found in this cemetery are here mentioned. Thej'are arranged in double columns. Each column is to be read without reference to the other. Thus, if an epitaph is unfinished at the foot of a page, its continuation will be found, not in the other column, ])ut in the same column at the top of the next page.

Eauly Manning Graves at Billerica, Mass. The oldest cemetery in the town, a large inclosnre, is south of the Center village, on the road to Bedford. The present writer has been unable to find any gravestone there to the memory of a Manning, and a resident of said town who has copied all inscrip- tions therein reports that the name does not occur there. The second cemetery was set apart, however, before any adult male of the name died in town, and there rest all the early Mannings who have memoi'ial stones in Billerica. This is a small iuclosure GENERAL ARTICLES. 41 uortli of llie Center village, on the road to Norili liillerica, and some thirty rods from the point where the latter diverges from the main road to Lowell. It is, moreover, in immediate proximity to the modern cemetery of the town. At a distance of a few rods from the end of tiie lot which borders on the road is the largest group of Manning gravestones in the burial-place. There, side by side, lie Lieut. Wm. Manning (died 1776), the early landlord of the Manning tavern, and his wife Elizabeth. Next, ahme, is the grave of Alice, wife of Solomon Planning. Next, side by side, rest elacob Manning (died 1762) and IMartha, his wife, and close at hand is a stone to the joint memory of their three children, Martha, David and Esther. Around this group is a considerable area of ground which presents no stone, but is suggestive of un- marked graves of Mannings. Further up the lot, about four- fifths of the distance from the road to the rear wall, are the graves of Ensign "\Vm. Manning (died 1764) and Elizabeth, his wife ; the oldest Manning graves there that are marked with me- morial stones. No other stone to a Manning is near. Diagonally to the left of the ensign's grave is a lot of the Toothaker family, one corner of which touches the ensign's footstone. A burial in this lot was as recent as that of Dr. Samuel A. Toothaker, who died in 1892. At the extreme end of the cemetery, directly oppo- site the road, is the grave of Samuel Manning (died 1772). When the compiler first saw this inclosure, about 1888, a tree ten or twelve inches in diameter was growing directly from tlje last- mentioned grave, but since then some kindly-thoughtful care-taker has removed it and restored the mound to excellent condition. This stone stands alone, but by its side undoubtedly lie the father of Samuel (the last-named of whom died so prematurel}'), and some of Samuel's brothers. No other stones appear in this cem- etery, but they are numerous in the more modern ground a few rods distant. These will be mentioned in a section supplementary to this. One inscription in the old burial place, that to the mem- ory of the three children of Jacob Manning before mentioned, is very hard to read. It has become so obscure, in the passage of time, that the compiler has been unable to decipher it in full. Possibly this could be done by means of long application ; perhaps not. Except in this one instance all inscriptions are easily read. The following list gives all in the old inclosure, and with exact- ness : 42 THE MANNING FAMILY 15 16 49 50 Memento mori Here lies tlie Body of Eufigu William Mauuing who Departed this Life March 25"' AD 1764 In the 87* Year of his Age.

There are three cemeteries in this town ; the early one half a mile east of Townsend Center, the new one immediately at the Center, and one at West Townsend. The earliest group is near the center of the early cemetery, though nearer the south than the north side thereof. The group is about 100 feet from the entrance (the south side), and exactly in line with the entrance, by the side of the path that leads from south to north. There rest Samuel Manning (died 1773) and P^lizabeth, his wife. Next in the line is their son Samuel Manning (died 1809) and, beyond, his wife, Abigail. The latter's footstone is within a distance of two feet of the headstone of Rev. Samuel Dix, once her pastor. Near the north side of the inclosure, about midwa}^ from east to west, is the grave of Mrs. Mary Manning (died 1782), mother of the Samuel Manning who died at Billerica in 1772. Near her lies her daughter Hannah, and, not far away, another daughter, Mrs. Marj" Proctor. Remote from all these graves is that, near the southwest corner of the burying-grouud, of Abigail Manning, and, east of the group GENERAL ARTICLES. 45 first mentioned, are those of Cynthia and Luke Manning, three children.

The family graves in this town are in the South Cemetery, in the inclosure at the rear of the Old South church. The oldest group is not far from fifty rods from the church, and comparatively near to where a line would fall if drawn from the church to the north corner of the cemetery. There lie Thomas Manning (died 1832), his wife and his sister Mary. About forty feet further north, and by the cemetery driveway, are the graves of Thomas Manning (died 1849), his wife and their daughter Sarah A. On the northwest slope of the hill is the grave of Rev. John H. Manning (died 1869). On the summit of the hill, only a few rods from the church, Adeline A., second wife of Tliomas iManuing, is buried in the lot of her father, Asa Abbott. About 100 feet southeast of the group first mentioned is the grave of Mary E., wife of Samuel B. Manning, the only one of her line wlio re sts in thi cemetery.

In the old cemetery in the village, directly back of the church and near the center of the inclosure, is the grave of John Manning (died 1831), and near him lie his wives, Sarah and Sally. Con- tinuing in a direct line are several of John's children, namely, Sarah, Elizabeth, Abigail, Samuel, Mary, a second Mary, a second Samuel, and Lot. Four stones preserve the memory of these seven children, for the names of Elizabeth, Abigail and the first GENERAL ARTICLES. 55 Samuel appear joiutly on one memorial, while another is to the joint memory of the second Mary and tlie second Samuel. Next in the line lie Sally and Susan W., granddaughters of John Manning, and, just beyond them, their father, John Manning, Jr. In the new cemetery south of the village, on the side opposite to the en- trance, is a marble shaft to the joint memory of Asa Manning, brother of John Manning, Jr., and several of his family. It is inscribed on four sides, and with these names : Asa Manning (1052) ; his three wives, Betsy (Whitcomb), Betsey (Jackson) and Adeline; and his children, Lewis, Benjamin B.. Albert, Abi- gail, Elizabeth and John. Of these Ashby inscriptions only those of the first John and his wives come within the scope of this sec- tion. The compiler has copies of the entire number (as he has of all that have i)een referred to in any town previously) , but when at Ashby lack of time compelled him to omit certain lines of poetry on some of the stones, so that, unlike those already given, some of the Ashby inscriptions are incomplete. Whether any poetry was omitted from the following is not lemembered. 494 494 IN MEMORY OF MR. JOHN MANNING who died June 7, 1831 in his 78 year.

There are a few towns where graves of early Mannings must l3e situated, but where no memorial stones of the early period are to be found. This is especially the case with Tewksbury, where the compiler of this volume has searched carefully, but has found none whatever except four or five to those who have died in 5() THE MANNING FAMILY. the last 60 years, namely, Jonathan Manning (764), Nehemiah Manning (1473), Abra, wife of Jonathan (764) and Miss Rebecca (765). Chaiiestown should show gravestones, for many of the family were buried there, but information, believed to be trust- worthy, is to the effect that there are none. The epitaphs of Lancaster have been printed, and show, of the family, only those of Mrs. Lucy, wife of Dr. Samuel Manning (481) and her daugh- ter Rebecca Pratt Manning. In Holden the compiler found only that of Caroline, daughter of Israel Manning (470) ; the latter has no gravestone. The epitaphs from Lyndeboro, IS. H., have been forwarded to the compiler, but they seem not to be literal, and as there is no way to know the division into lines, the division cannot be indicated. Except for the interpolation of individual numl)ers they are here given as furnished. Jacob Manning (205) died July 16, 1808, aged 68. Sarah Manning (his wife) died Jan. 21, 1831, aged 89. Asa Manning (566) died June 2, 1853, aged 72, Olive Manning (wife of Asa) died Nov. 24, 1844, aged 64. Certain other " Manning towns " have not been especially visited, and no reports have been received from them ; Tenipleton, Ashburnham and Fetersliam, Mass., and Amherst, Mont Vernon and Bedford, N. H., may be mentioned. Miscellaneous Graves in Connecticut. In this State the compiler examined onl}' the cemeteries of Woodstock, Stafford and Sharon. He regrets that he could not have visited all other towns where the early Mannings wt*re nu- merous, so that a descriptive article could preface each series, but there never has been opportunity to do this. Hope that the chance would present itself was not abandoned until just before this volume went to press, but abandoned it had to be. However, there can be presented here a set of copies made some years ago by the late Edward Manning (1778). These came to the compiler practically in alphabetical form, and this feature will be retained. George E. Manning (2886), son of Edward Manning, has added the name of the town to each inscription when he felt sure of the location, he having at one time visited a part, or all, of these burial-places. Others might, perhaps, be located with equal cer- tainty, bnt, beyond giving the individual numbers, the compiler prefers not to venture any additions. It may be explained here GENERAL ARTICLES. 57 that Scotland, Ct., is that part of the old town of Windham which was set off and made into a new town some 40 3'ears ago. The compiler has no information as to how closeW the copies below follow the originals in tiie division of lines, punctuation, use of large and small letters, etc. ; hence, it cannot be stated whether, in these respects, the copies are exact. 29 Old Cemetery/, Scotland, Ct.

Tra- dition tells of loop-holes in the walls, surrounded with brick to stop hostile bullets, but this the present writer always doubted, and the rejuvenation of the house, to be mentioned below, con- firmed the doubt. It is well known that, at one time, the north sides of houses, otherwise wooden, were wholly or partly built of brick, to lessen the effect of winter winds, and such was the case at the Old Homestead. The loop-holes seem never to have been there. This does not prove that there was no fighting there. The trees and hollows may more than once have sheltered life- seeking Indians, and shots have been exchanged. The next chapter in the history is of a radically different kind. The proprietor of the farm became a tavern-keeper, and the house, in consequence, was long known as the Manning Tav- ern. General tradition, which is never very exact, says that the tavern was called into existence by the fact that it was on the line of the stage-route from Boston to New Hampshire, by way of Billerica and Chelmsford, but trustworthy information is that stages first passed through Billerica " about 1795," while the tav- ern was certainly started over 40 years before that date. The records of the Middlesex County Court show that William Man- ning [49] was licensed as an innholder in 1752. As no such license has been found in the court records of earlier years this is supposed to show the exact time when this period of history began. In the care of the Billerica Historical Society, and loaned to that Society's museum by the heirs of Miss Lucinda Manning, of whom mention will be made later, are the tavern account books, in which the first dated entries are for 1753. In these records no mention is found of public travel ; the accounts are simply those between the landlord and his fellow townsmen. These were the days when nearly every man indulged in drink stronger than water, and min- isters did not dream of wrong-doing when they joined their pa- rishioners in such indulgence. The old tavern books have occasional mention of such articles as flour, sugar, haj', etc., but nearly all entries are of liquids, and their names, as given in the ])ooks, were '•rhum," "cyder," " todda," "flip," " cheary drame," and the like. Sales of quantities in excess of a single drink were uncom- mon, showing that the beverages were consumed on the premises. 64 THE MANNING FAMILY. The bar, according to information given to the compiler (though modern members of the family have, and, it would seem, on good authority, expressed doubt on this point), was at the east side of the southeast room, and the huge fireplace was opposite the bar. It requires no vivid imagination to picture the intervening space half filled with men on a winter's night, with warmth on both sides, discussing public and private affairs, and, in the meanwhile, giving attention to " cheary drames " and kindred compounds. This pleasant picture of the imagination is destroyed by the second account, above mentioned, which places the bar in the east end of the lean-to. This account has more adherents than the other, per- haps, and, until more is known, the lean-to should be considered the bar-room. Some light on the prices that prevailed for sundries between 1753 and 1760 may be gained from the account-book of that period. A pound of sugar was four shillings ; one-half bushel of meal 10s ; three hundred of hay 15s ; one and one-half dozen of pigeons 3s ; a quarter of veal 9s and '3d ; a quart of molasses 4s and 6d ; a pair of shoes 2 pounds and 7s ; a day's work at mowing 10s ; one-half dozen of eggs Is and 3d; a quart of rum 6s; one-half pint of brandy 4s ; a gallon of cider 6s, and a mug of flip 2s. In the years 1770 and 1771 there is a gradual change of writing to be seen in the accounts, showing the period when the landlord retired from active work in favor of his son, William Manning [201], within the time of whose management the stages certainly made trips along the road, stopping at the tavern. It has been impossible to learn when the place ceased to be a public house. In the meanwhile the Old Homestead had seen another fea- ture of its diversified existence. A few yards from the west end of the house, at the foot of the largest elm tree, may be seen a small, shallow excavation. It is the cellar of the "'saltpeter house." This was a building about 15 feet square where, in the Revolution, saltpeter was made for use as one of the component parts of gun- powder to be used by the patriot troops. It is supposed that its manufacture was conducted by members of the INIanning family. At the tavern, too, at one time during the Revolution, a detach- ment of patriot troops, including, it is said, a general and his staff, stopped and were fed at the tavern. In more modern days the saltpeter house, commonly called " the 'peter house," became the family wash-house, or laundry, and the great kettles, formerly GENERAL ARTICLES. ()5 used in the making of saltpeter, were devoted to the boiling of the clothes in washing. Some time after 1880 these kettles were broken up and sold for old iron. It was said by the gentleman who sold them that one of thein was five or six feet in diameter at the top, and the iron nearly five inches thick in places. Nothing remains of the saltpeter house but the cellar and a memory. After the death of William Manning [201] in 1814 the house and farm descended to his children. They were thirteen in num- ber, of whom two died in minority. Of the others only three mar- ried, leaving eight to pass more or less of their lives at the old home in single life. They passed away one by one, uutil the sole survivor was Miss Lucinda [537], Affairs did not go well with no protector near. Tramps, gipsies and other molesters subjected her to severe annoyances. The gipsies defiantly camped upon her grounds, her cows were di'iveu away and milked, etc. A niece lived with her for a time, but she finally decided that she must leave the old home. By her own direction and at her own expense a liouse was erected for her near her relatives in Chelmsford vil- lage, a few miles distant. When it was completed she left the old home, from which her furniture and other eft'ects had already been removed. When the team came for her, on the day of the change, " she was standing by the dying embers in the old fireplace of an empty room." It was the home where life had begun and ended for many of her nearest kin, and it was to be home no longer. Memory must have been busy then. As she passed out of the house she exclaimed : " I shall never come here again!" And, though she lived more than 15 years thereafter, and was but a few miles away, she never did. She is remembered as " a tall, digni- fied woman in spotless cap and snowy lace parted on her neck with precision learned in the school-room [she was long a teacher], and remarkable for activity, earnestness, cordiality and hospital- ity." It is said that she and her sisters remained single from choice. She died Aug. 10, 18.S0. By will she gave the house and 80 acres of laud to trustees who were to lease it and devote the proceeds to '• public worship and religious instruction in that part of the town of Billerica which is known as School District Number 4, said instruction to be by teachers of the Baptist, Methodist or orthodox denominations." In the first part of the final decade of the 19th century the income went to the Baptist church of North Billerica. The Old II(jmkstead entered upon a very different period of 6(3 THE MANNING FAMILY. its career. It was greatly in need of repairs, aud tliese were not made. Tenants who were prepared to pay well for a place in good repair could find nothing there to invite them ; at one time the occu- pants were colored people. The lack of work to check the effects of time and weather was seen ; the great age of the house fell upon it with full force, and it was in a deplorable condition. Above the first floor all beams remained uninjured and, indeed, were of almost iron-like solidity. Below, beams were giving way, floors were warping, clapboards were literally crumbling into dust, and deso- lation and decay reigned. Once, during this period, a party of young men planned to set fire to the place on a holiday, as a diver- sion, and were barely prevented from thus completing the destruc- tion. The surroundings of the house are pleasant. It is a region of moderate hills, but immediately to the east and south is what the founders of Billerica called a plain. This, on the side of the road where the house stands, is a field of some six acres, level and smooth, and extending to a stretch of woods. Close to the house, in part clustering around it and in part lining the driveway, are ten or twelve elm trees the largest of which was, in 1896, 12 feet and 2 inches in circumference at a point four feet from the ground. Another was but four inches less. One who professed ability to judge correctly (not the compiler) estimated their height at 60 or 70 feet. The largest, and several others, are in flourish- ing condition; others are decaying. Their age is unknown; it must be one hundred years, and is probably considerably in ex- cess of that age. Some 200 feet distant, to the southwest, are the barns and sheds of the place. The house faces nearly south and, under a plan which now seems peculiar, its rear side is next to the road and its front next to the field ; in other words, it faces away from, and not to the road. This is according to an old practice which gave ''southern exposure" to the front of a house, no matter where the road was. The main part is 41 feet long and 19 feet and 5 inches wide, but an annex, or "lean-to," increases the width to a total of 30 feet and 7 inches. The roof descends sharply, so that the height of the lean-to at the eaves is but 5 feet and 9 inches. Other dimen- sions will appear further on. The age of the lean-to is unknown. To all appearances it is as old as the main part, but no evidence as to this exists. GENERAL ARTICLES. 67 In sevei'al ways the construction of the house presents what are novelties to us. The window casings are not set into the walls according to modern style, but, made of four pieces of heavy timber which are mortised together, are fastened to the outer face of the walls by great, hand-made spikes, the heads of wliich are nearly one inch in diameter. The chimney is of the old-fashioned sort, with a fireplace at three of its sides on the ground floor. As near as this chimney can be measured under existing conditions it is 9 feet and 9 inches by 8 feet and 5 inches square at this point. Where it passes through the roof the chimney is 4 feet and 8 inches wide on one side, but irregular of shape as it narrows rapidly. The adjoining side is slightly narrower. The ceHar stairs are of solid logs, hewn square, and are as firm to the tread as if of granite. Through the center of the house from east to west extends a great beam as a part of the foundation of the second floor. Owing to its great size, and after the fashion of that period, it extends be- low the ceilings of the ground-floor rooms. This beam is 13 inches wide at its larger end, and 12 inches at its smaller end. Its drop below the room-ceilings is from three and one-half to four and one- half inches. The stairs leading to the chambers are of the wind- ing order ; the successive steps extend first north, then west, then south. There are no clothes closets. The compiler was informed that, originally, the whole upper floor was devoted to two rooms, separated by the chimney and the small upper hall. When lie first saw tlie place one of these rooms was divided into two by a partition. Tlie statement was that this partition was modern ; this has since been questioned. The lean-to has what migiit of courtesy be termed a chamber, but more properly a garret, fit only for the storage of plain articles. The attic of the main house, which is of considerable size, shows no sign of occupancy, but there, we may be sure, were stored ancient things during the 19th century which would, if preserved, now be of great value to any collector of what was antique, and especially interesting to the Manning familj% Partly from information received on good au- thority, and parti}' from conjecture, the compiler ventures this suggestion as to the use made of the house when it was not an inn. In the lean-to was the kitchen ; also a storage room for articles in daily use in the rougher work. The east room on the lower floor was the living room ; there, too, after the fashion of early days, the parents probably slept. There, too, in modern 68 THE MANNING FAMILY. days, Miss Luciuda Manning was fond of sitting by the east window. The west room was the " spare " room ; there, no doubt, the " company," or visitors slept. The upper rooms would be divided between the sous and daughters. Possibly some of the latter, when the family was unusually large, slept in the attic and heard the music of the rain on the roof. The authority for the date of the erection of the house was Miss Lucinda Manning, herself. She was always direct and cer- tain in her statements on this point, and it is difficult to see how she could be mistaken. She was herself born in the house in 1790, and, being one of the youngest of a large family of children, her eld- est sister was born there in 1769, as was her father in 1747. This reaches well back to the youth of the house. Moreover, all of her ancestors who resided there lived long lives which overlapped each other widely, and, in view of these facts, it would be a matter of wonder if Miss Lucinda, a bright and educated woman, did not know when the house was built. It is believed that she did know ; the authority is believed to be of the best. Several years ago the compiler was told that, somewhere in one of the chambers, Miss Lucinda had long before marked the date " 1696 " on the wall. In repairing the' house in 1899 this date, presumably the one made by her, came to light over the door in the east chamber, where- upon it was made permanent by being carved into the wood. At various times between 1892 and 1897 the compiler visited the Old Homestead, making careful examination of the house and interviewing those who could enlighten him as to its history. Some information was received which was not correct, and, as a result, has no mention here. Unreliable statements have been rejected, and all possible care taken to make the history reliable. On one of three visits made in 1896 the compiler measured the old house from top to bottom, and the results appear below. Comparison of different lines in the accompanying table shows variations of an inch or two where said measurements should, it would seem, agree exactly. This was due to several causes. The displacement of interior walls may have had something to do with it, and, certainly, the fact that the furniture of the tenants obstructed free action, at times, was not conducive to mathematical precision. As these variations are so slight it is believed that they may be considered unimportant, A rough plan of the lower floor of the house is here included. This shows the division into rooms, and the dimensions GENERAL ARTICLES. 69 of each. It has not beeu thought necessary to have an elaborate and expensive drawing made, photographed and printed, as a sim- ple presentation of the plan will show all that is necessary. liOAI). -w ^- :j(i.7 The front door appears in the lower line of the diagram. Passing in, one stands in the entry, with the stairs directly ahead and a large room on each side of the entry. In the lean-to is the kitchen, with the room for storage of rough articles to the west and "what was, in 1896, the rear entry to the east. The removal of the par- tition between this entry and the kitchen some feet further west during the repairs in 1899 has changed the dimensions of the last two rooms, but as this diagram w^as made in 1896 all is given here as it was then. The great chimney, which occupies the space of an ordinary small room, is in the center of the house. In the table that follows N., E., S. and W. refer to the points of the com- pass ; and the table is the measurement made by the compiler in 1896.

Measurement at present would probably show a uniform height, and one differing an inch or so from what is here given, but the old figures have been retained. Present conditions speak for themselves ; these figures tell accurately of the past and will vary but little from the present. It should be added that, while the height of the kitchen has been given as 6 feet and 2 inches, there was one point where tlie upheaval of the floor made it only 5 feet and 9 inches. At various times during the earlier stages of the preparation of this volume there was talk of forming a "Manning Associa- tion," and of doing; something to save the old house. The first project received but little consideration, but as knowledge of the Old Homestead spread there was marked interest. Its great age ; a rumor that it was to be torn down as something worthless, and the positive knowledge that it was in very bad condition, appealed to more than one member. Several gentlemen wrote the compiler to learn whether it could be purchased either by the family or private individuals, Init the fact that the property had been left by will to trustees for specific purposes aroused in all unprofes- sional minds a doubt whether there was any one who had legal power to alienate it from the control of the trustees. In conse- quence of this doubt nothing was done for several years. (Legal advice has since been taken.) In 1898 Warren H. Manning [3330], of Brookline, Mass., commenced practical efforts to save the house and to form the Association. After names had been furnished by the compiler, several members of the family who lived within a fairly conven- ient distance of the old place, and who, it was believed, would feel an interest in this commendable work, were written to and in- vited to attend a meeting for consideration of ways and means to accomplish the desired end. On Nov. 12 certain ones of this num- ber visited the old house and made an examination thereof, and, at a second meeting, held in Boston Nov. 19, a committee was chosen to report, at the next meeting, such additional facts as could then be given. Necessary blanks for the chai'ter of the Association were obtained Dec. 7. Several meetings were called in the early part of 1899, but these failed to produce a quorum, and nothing could be done. 72 THE MANNING FAMILY. lu this emergency, with affairs at a standstill, Warren H. Man- ning personally leased the Old Homestead May 31, 1899, and began the making of repairs. He added new sills, floors, clap- boards, window casings and windows, pieced down the beams, re- built the cellar wall, graded about the house and barn, excavated the old saltpeter- house cellar, rebuilt portions of the chimney of the house, renewed portions of the roof, added a new chimney to the shed at the northwest corner of the house, scraped off the modern paint and paper in the interior of the liouse proper, re- plastered the ceiling, etc. In making these repairs two objects were kept in view — first, to do nothing that would give the old bouse a modern look, and, secondly, to restore to its original ap- pearance, as far as possible, everything where former modern changes had removed original conditions. This done, the lessee made the Old Homestead his summer home. (Additional repairs in 1901 were the relaying and paintingof floors ; the re-hanging of doors and the putting on of wooden latches and the making of new doors for the south and east entrances. Drain-pipes were also laid from the house to a point on the opposite side of the road ; the wall of the barn cellar was rebuilt; the frame of the barn drawn together and made fast ; posts pieced out and foundations put under them, and the barn generally reconstructed.) The arti- cle immediately following the present one will tell of the renewal, in 1900, of the attempt to form a Manning Association, its suc- cess, and something of the business proceedings at its meetings. A safe was purchased and placed in the house, and with its acqui- sition a long-cherished plan of Warren H. Manning became possi- ble and was carried into effect. Objects of interest, of antiquity, and all relating to the family in general,— in brief, furniture, household articles, documents, etc., which had descended through the various branches, were donated to form a collection of what was old and curious. A list of the articles follows, with the names of the donors : From Mrs. John Shed, of Chelmsford: Fryiug-i)an used in the old house when it was a tavern. From the Shed estate : Clothing, books, trunks, furniture, china, desk, etc., etc. From Wm. J. Stevens, Chelmsford : Two chairs, wine-glass, punch-bowl, etc. GENERAL ARTICLES. 73 From Mrs. Sarah (Parkhurst) Watson, Auburn, N. H. : Lucindti Manning's sampler, and sample of carpet once used in the old house. From J. Roland Parkiilrst, Chelmsford: The original grant of a part of Samuel Manning's farm, in 1674,* and 252 other familj' papers ; portraits of Surviah (Manning) Parkhurst and Luciuda Manning ; two leather-bound chests ; pewter meas- ure once used in the Manning tavern ; four samplers ; seven books ; walnut chair, a tal)le, etc. From Hknry and Jclia Manning, New Boston, N.

The foregoing shows what has thus far been done to gather objects of interest to the Manning family. It is hoped that other relics of bygone days may be added, and any one who is inclined to loan such relics should address Warren H. Manning, at North Billerica, Mass. It is not the intention to make the Old Home- stead a promiscuous museum, but to place on exhibition there, for the benefit of members of the family who go to see the old place, such antique objects as can be gathered which belonged to the Mannings wlio have passed away. It is now the commendable and filial work of our family to save the old home from destruction at the hands of those who see in it only an old house. To us it is something far more ; it may almost be termed the cradle of our race. The place is not yet owned by the family, but is held subject to the will of Miss Lucinda Manning, by her trustees. "Warren H. Manning still holds the lease thereof, but he cannot be expected to carry the burden alone. The Manning family should possess the place, and the only way to do this is to acquire it by outright purchase. At the reunion of June 17, 1901, a few subscriptions were taken, but these were generally of small amounts, and were accepted merely to complete the formal organization of the Association ; hence, this was only a preliminary legal step, and those who, to aid in this step, then sub- scribed will add to their contributions at a later time. The foun- dation of the subscriptions is laid; let the good work go on. The capital stock is §3,000, and no one member can hold an undue number of shares. The idea is to make the Old Homestead the property, not of a few individuals, but of tlie whole family. All should have ownership in it. Shares are non-assessable. If the movement for the acquirement of the place by the family should fail it would be a great misfortune. It is there, firm and sightly, with an age, in 1901, of 205 years. Rare, indeed, are buildings of such great age. Is it not worth saving ? Three years ago, while the structure four feet from the ground and upward was iu an excellent state of preservation, the lower timbers were far advanced in decay. Now, all that were affected have been re- placed with new material (sills, etc.), and, with slight repairs at GENERAL ARTICLES. 75 widely-separated intervals, there seems to be no reason why the house should not stand for hundreds of years to come. Members of the family are not asked to help in saving a dilapidated old building, but to preserve one that is in excellent condition. The work done by Warren H. Manning cannot be too highly commended. Failing to form the Association as soon as was nec- essary, and with daily danger that the house would be torn down by the trustees of the will, he went about the work alone. As be- fore stated, he personally took the lease of the place and repaired the house. It was not his, it was not the Association's, but was the property of the lessors. He has not explained how he dared to venture this outlay, but we can understand his desire to save the early home of the family, and he probably had faith that, when it was put in first-class condition, the family would gladly unite to acquire it by purchase. The gratitude of the ancestors and of posterity is due to him. The house is there. Hundreds of the family have seen it. Hundreds have gathered there at the two annual reunions. It is the intention to hold a family meeting there once in each yeav, and probably always on June 17, unless it falls on a Sunday. Come and see the old house. Come and meet the members of the family. And what can be done to put the place beyond the danger of de- struction? One thing only — its purchase by the family. It would be well worth saving, if only on account of its great age. But it has other claims upon us. It is the Old Homestead of tlie Mannings. By the plan of the Association its control cannot be monopolized by a few ; all will have part in it who subscribe, and it is hoped that all will subscribe. Behold, where you the ancient homestead stands With ever anxious look and outstretched hands ! What says the voice that comes from out its door?

The Manning Association, and the Family Reunions of 1900 AND 1901. In the previous article, which should be read in connection with the present section, mention has been made of the efforts to 76 THE MANNING FAMILY. form the Manning Association (being that of the descendants of Williain Manning, 1634). This was effected in 1900 at the first annual reunion of the family at the Old Homestead in Billerica. This reunion was held June 18, on which occasion 102 members registered. It is to be regretted that some of those present did not sign the register. This meeting was called by Warren H. ]\Tanning, lessee of the place, by authority of the original com- mittee of organization, and the guests were received and entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Manning. All present enjoyed the day thor- oughly, the house and the relics were inspected, and the novelty of the occasion made it far more than a common summer outing. A business meeting was held during the day. This was called to order by Leonard J. Manning, of West Medford, Mass , and Warren H. Manning made a statement of the history of the house, the steps taken to acquire and repair it, as set forth on a former page. Due arrangements were made to effect the incorporation of the Association, and the following officers were elected : Pres- ident, Charles H. Manning, Manchester, N, H. ; Vice President, SamW. Manning, West Newton, Mass.; Treasurer. Erastus A. Bartlett, East Chelmsford, Mass. ; Secretary, Warren H. Manning, Brookline,Mass. ; Historian, William H. Manning, temporarily of Ayer, Mass. ; Executive Committee, Theodore E. Busfield, Utica, N. Y., James W. Manning, Putnam, Ct., Leonard J. ]\Lauuing, West Medford, Mass., Prentiss H. Manning, Boston, Mass., Mrs. Emma Manning Walker, Lexington, Mass. (now of Millis) ; Cleveland P. Manning, Baltimore, Md., and Joseph E. Warren, Chelmsford, Mass. After this meeting the work of organization progressed in due form, and on March 4, 1901, by the aid of Hon. David Manning, of Worcester, State Senator representing his dis- trict, an act passed the Legislature which formally incorporated the Association. A year or more before this date a petition for incorporation was signed by members of the family, several of whom resided in other States. At the last moment it was learned that non-residents were ineligible in a matter like this, and the first paper had to be discarded and a new one substituted. More- over, in the haste which became necessary, the second list of in- corporators had to be selected from among those who could be found immediately. As a result, all of the final incorporators were residents in or near Boston. Of these, several were on both lists. Among those who were reluctantly dropped by the discard- GENERAL ARTICLES. i i ingof the first petition were Hon. James W, Manning, of Putnam, Ct., Capt. Charles H. Manning, ^Manchester, N. H., George E. Man- ning, New Loudon, Ct., and Cleveland P. IManning, Baltimore, Md. The first two names on this list are those of gentlemen who have been identified with the movement from the first, and who have been regular in attendance at meetings and helpful in council. To the knowledge of the present writer Hon. James W. Manning has been interested in the Old Homestead for at least twelve years ; he early secured photographs thereof, and he has done much to arouse interest in others, while in the time since the plan of the Association was conceived, he has been second only to Warren H. Manning in interest, attendance and help. The signers of the second petition, and, consequently, the tormal incorporators, were Warren Henry Manning, Brookline, Mass. ; Sam AVinkley Manning, West Newton, Mass. : William Wayland Manning, Wollaston, Mass., George A. Parkhurst, Chelmsford, Mass. ; Joseph E. Warren, Chelmsford, Mass. ; Pren- tiss Hobbs Manning, Boston, Mass., and J. Woodward Manning, ■ Reading, Mass. Warren H. Manning, as secretary, has kept full records of all proceedings, and can give information that is desired concern- ing the undertaking. The second annual reunion of the descendants of William Manning was held June 17, 1901, at the Old Homestead. One hundred and eight members registered. A musical and literary program was given in the forenoon, tliis having been arranged by Mrs. Emma Manning Walker, Tlie occasion was again highly successful and pleasant. At a meeting of the incorporators the Act of incorporation was adopted. By-laws based upon the Act were adopted. At a subsequent general business meeting the offi- cers of the previous year were re-elected. It is expected that the third annual reunion, in 1902, will be even more largely attended, as interest is spreading. Those present at the past two meetings appear below. All residences are in Massachusetts, unless other- wise indicated. 1900 — Gardner H. Manning, Worcester; David G. Lake, Elizabeth Helen Lake, Peabody ; Louise F. Walton, Marjorie Wal- ton, Blanche L.

The following details relating to the descendants of William Manning, of Cambridge, may interest several members. They show various conditions in the general family from time to time, and are as near correct as they can be made. All are subject to the limitations of such work. For instance, if all the missing members of the early generations could have been traced, and their descendants included, every table, below, would be changed, and the total increased. Also, a considerable addition would have been made if some of the living members had not failed to send in their family record when requested. The first table is that of large families born to male Mannings. The time and labor neces- sary to draw off details like these have limited such work to the male lines, though the total children of the females will be given subsequently. There have been thirty-two families of 8 children ; thirty-six of 9 children; twenty-three of 10 children; seventeen of 11 children; seven of 12 children; four of 13 children ; four of 14 children, and one of 16 children. The following table is ar- ranged so as to show in what generation each of these families appeared.

This section shows the uumljer of children who, as far as the compiler's knowledge extends, have died nuder the age of twenty- one years in the families of the male Mannings from the first set- tlement in this country to present time. An age division has been made in the count, and two sections formed. The first is composed of those who died under the age of three years ; the second, of those who died between two and twenty-one. By " under three " is meant, before the beginning of the third year. The general be- lief that it is harder to bring a male child safely through the criti- cal period of infancy than a female, is confirmed by these figures, for 165 males died under three and only 124 females. On the other hand, the mortality among females between two and twenty- one was greater than that of the opposite sex, the deaths being 107 males and 129 females. The figures follow : 'o Males died under three years, - - - - 165 Females died under three years, - - - 124 Males died between two and twenty-one years, - 107 Females died between two and twenty-one years, 129 Total deaths in minority, .... 525 Total Births in the Family. The birth-record of the family is given below. Once more^ it will be seen, the female lines received less attention than the males, as their children are given only in the total. If any one would know how much time and labor have been expended to carry this statistical information as far as it extends, there is an excel- lent opportunity to acquire the information by subjecting the female lines to the same analysis ; and it will be easier to do this in printed matter than in manuscript. Such States as are now keeping exhaustive public records find that more male children are annually born than females. The appended table shows the same condition, with a total of 1640 males and 1516 females. The fol- lowing includes only the children of the male Mannings. MALE CHILDREN.

There are 3'oung parents of the ninth generation, and several 3'oung men not yet married, while nearl}- all the parents of the tenth and eleventh generations are young ; hence, both the eleventh and twelfth generations will be largely increased in the future. The small excess of the tenth generation over the ninth is an ominous reminder of the changed condition of society by which small families have succeeded large ones ; and it was, at first, so sur- prising to the writer that he made a partial investigation to deter- mine the cause. There were 435 male Mannings in the ninth generation, and only 455 in the tenth. Investigation showed the following facts : Of the 435 in the ninth, 74 died young, 56 never married, and 39 married but had no children. This reduced the 485 to 266, and of these, 30 had bat one child each. The cause of the small increase became plainer. The number of children born to the female Mannings, that can be mentioned here, is nearly 800 fewer than the children of the males. There are several reasons for this, the chief of which is that, of the two sexes, there are far more females who have not been traced. The male lines were largely located by means of their surname, but if a female member of an early generation married, and the marriage was not recorded, there was no clue to her new name. Other females, whose marriages we have, at once left the old home and have not been traced. But for these and other causes, it is probable that the female lines would show as large a birth-rate as the males.

Nothing has been arrived at b}' estimate, but every number given is the result of laborious counting, yet, information of recent events has constantly been coming to hand, and a variation of a few persons in some tables (from one to five, or more) is almost certain. This pilgrimage into the land of statistics will close with the grouping of the most important facts before mentioned, to Avhich will be added, first, another class of descendants of the female members, being the number of their grandchildren, etc., here included, and, second, the number of persons in the William Manning famih^ now living. This will in- clude only those born heirs to the Manning surname ; descendants of other surnames are not mentioned. The number is as near correct as it can be made, but births and deaths are constantly changing the number, and it is approximately correct rather than infallible.

Note — To fiud auy desired record recourse should be had to the several indexes at the end of the volume. All names are there arranged in alphabetical order, and Christian names are preceded by the date of each member's birth and followed by the surname of the person he or she married, thus making identification easy. Besides this, each member's individual number is given. Turn to the corresponding number in the reading matter and the record will be found. Two sets of numbers extend through the volume, one at the extreme left margin of the page, and the other some- what indented. Numbers generally appear twice; first, in the marginal column, and, secondly, in the indented space (new para- graph). To find the record of the father of a given member, turn toward the front of the book where the said member's number first appeared. To find the records of the children of a given member, turn toward the end of the volume where the numbers of said chil- dren appear for the second time. The Christian names in paren- thesis following a member's full name are those of his ancestors in direct line, and the elevated numbers thereto attached show the respective generation of each. When a town is mentioned with no state immediately following, it is understood as being in the same state as the town last mentioned before it in the sketch, unless the town has already appeared therein. To repeat the name of a state constantly would be to question the intelligence of read- ers and make the text ridiculous. Abbreviations are few except those in common use. " B.," " m." and " d." mean, respectively, born, married and died; " dau.," daughter; "res.," resides or resided. " Bap.," which sometimes follows a child's name, means baptized. It is used only when the date of the member's birth is unknown, and is a substitute therefor. All dates herewith, if from the original records, are Old Style. (84) FIRST GENERATION. WILLIAMi ^MANNING, the fouuder of his family in Amer- ica, came to the Colouj' of Massachusetts Bay at an early date. Whence he came has not been learned,* but, as the Mannings had long been a numerous family in England, and as he came contem- poraneously with the migration of other emigrants from that coun- try, it is certain that he was from a branch of that ancient family. As to his exact place of residence before the above removal, the only clue is indefinite and maybe unreliable. In his church " con- fession," to be hereafter quoted, he states that his reason for set- tling where he did in the new Colony was that the Reverend Mr. Hooker was there. The latter was an eminent minister ; preaclied at Chelmsford, County Essex, England ; then opened a school at Little Baddow, about five miles from Chelmsford ; went within two years to Holland and preached at Delft and Rotterdam, and then came to Massachusetts Bay and was pastor at Cambridge until his removal to Hartford, Ct., 1636, about May. What was called his " flock" when at Cambridge, that is, the members of his con- gregation, chieflj'came from Braintree, County Essex, eleven miles from Chelmsford. When preaching at the latter place his popu- larity was such that people came from all the surrounding towns to hear him. Now, if William Manning's object in locating in Cambridge was because Mr. Hooker was there, and he says such was his object, it seems that he or his wife must have been among those who heard him preach before the coming to this country. Possibly our ancestor was among those who, to secure the privi- lege of worshii)iug God according to the dictates of their own con- sciences, sought an asylum in Holland and afterward crossed the * The compiler of this g'eiiealogy, having Ijornc the heavy exiienseof collect- ing the material given in this volume, has not I'elt alile to incur the additional expense of a search in England to try and learn from what place there the lirst of our family in America came. A few years ago several members of the family who were inter- ested iu the historical memorial met to consider the advisability of making such a search at their joint expense, but no action was taken. (85) 86 THE MAXXIXG FAMILY. oceau to the new laud, but it is far more likely that it was iu Eugiand he heard Mr. Hooker preach. It would, theu, seem to be almost certaiu that William Manniug's Euglish home was in County Essex, in or uear Chelmsford, were it not for the fact that he seems to have taken a new wife after his arrival iu America, and it may have beeu she, not he, who had heard Mr. Hooker and so much admired him. But Mr. Manning appears to have married this new wife soon after the death of his first consort, from which we may, perhaps, infer that she was someone whom he had known in Eng- land, and this leads to the belief that both were from the same locality, and that the locality was in County Essex, near Chelms- ford. In the absence of proof this reasoning, even if proved faulty by future discoveries, may not be worthy of omission. William Manniug's own statement is that, on his arrival in the Colony, he lived in Roxbury for nine or ten weeks. This town has since been annexed to and made a part of Boston. He then went to Cambridge, where the first documentary sign of him is found. This early town is separated from Boston only by the Charles River. The date of his arrival in the Colony has not been learned, but it was as early as 1634, and may have been some years before. In 1635, Feb. 8, the authorities of Cambridge made out and recorded a " List of those who have houses iu town." The mutilation of the list at one point leaves some of the names to be conjectured. Among them is one of which only the termin- ation remains. It is " niug," and the first "■ n " is preceded by one-half of another letter of which only a downward stroke has beeu spared by the mutilation. The stroke is like the last half of an "n," and, assuming, as may confidently be done, that it is such, we have as a surname " nniug." It is said that no other per- son in the town had a name with a similar ending, so it seems safe to believe that it was that of William Manning. This does not prove that he had then recently arrived in Cambridge. Mr. Hooker was there as early as 1633, and the "list of those who have houses" was not one of late purchases, but of all the householders there at that time. If William went to Cambridge in 1634, and his resi- dence of nine or teu weeks in Roxbury immediately preceded it, the date of his arrival in the Colony can be surmised approximately, but he may have been in Cambridge nearly as early as Mr. Hooker. The dissatisfaction of the pastor's flock there "because of want of accomodation for their cattle and room for new settlers," which led, DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM >L\X\I\G. 87 ill 1636, to the removal of so many families aud their spiritual head, began in or before May, 1634. It is probable that William Man- ning joined the " flock" before, rather than after, this deep dis- satisfaction began. Elither attachment to his new home or the ties of business, or some other consideration, prevented him from ac- companying Mr. Hooker and such others as went to Connecticut iu 1636. By that time he had become sufficiently grounded so that the pastor's personality did not draw him away from Cambridge. He had come to a new land.* The settlement of New P]ug- land was begun by the Mayflower Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620 ; the charter of Massachusetts Bay was granted by King Charles of England, in 1629; Boston was settled in 1630. Cambridge was first mentioned in the records of the colony in 1631 as " the newe town ;" as " Newe Town " in 1632, and was officially named Cam- bridge in 1638. Very few towns had then been settled, and the whole region was one of wildness, hardship and severe endeavor. It was to such a life as this that our ancestor came. It is not known what calling he followed in Cambridge. In his church con- fession he states that he was apprenticed when very j'oung, from which it seems he learned some trade ; but he further says that he later ''took a business lawful and commendable." "What this business was is unknown, but it seems probable that, like his son, he was a merchant. An entiy in the old Cambridge church book for 1648 reads : " Payd our brother 3Ianniuge for a belrope." This was a transaction with a merchant, but whether with William Man- ning, the father, or with the son, cannot be determined. Taken in connection with the statement that the subject of this sketch en- gaged at one time iu a ''business lawful and commendable," it seems, however, quite probable that he was a merchant in P^ugland ; * There is a tradition in some branches of the family that our ancestor -was one of tinee brothers who oame to this country at al)out tlie same time, but this is very improljable. Nearly all the old families, of different surnames, have the same tradi- tion, and it is almost as invariably proved to be without foundation when investi- gated. The almost universal i)revalence of the tradition in other families shows how unreliable it is. As far as it concerns our ancestor the most careful investigation has failed to proiluce any corroborative evidence. There were other men of the name of Manning in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, and beyond it, in his day, but nearly all were much younger, and there is no known indication that be was acquainted with them. Neither in the business transactions of the other Mannings nor in his own Is there any sign that they or he dealt with each other, or called upon each other for certilication of good cliaracter or linancial responsibility. In brief, as far as can be seen, William Manning was a total stranger to the other Manning settlers, and it seems almost certain that, except for his direct descendants, he had no relatives in this country who bore his family name. The writer is lirmly convinced that no atten- tion should be given to this tradition of three brothers. 88 THE MANNING FAMILY. that he entered into the same business in Cambridge ; that he preferred to continue therein rather than accompany his favorite pastor to Connecticut, and that his son ultimately succeeded to the business . He was the owner of a house and of other lots of lands, but when he bought and sold is not known in full. Deeds of that period are not to be found, for the Middlesex County Registry of Deeds has no entries prior to 1649. Some effort was made in Cam- bridge to trace the transfers of real estate, and the result is seen in the local Proprietors' Records in the form of a "Register of houses and lands " in 1635, and again in 1642. The items entering therein may be called imperfect deeds. By the latter register the fact is known that William Manning had made purchases of one George Stocking. Comparing the memorandum of this transfer with the boundaries given of E. Goft'e and W. Adams in the same book, it will be seen that our ancestor bought as soon as February, 1638, and perhaps considerabl}^ earlier ; but in the register no chrono- logical arrangement was attempted. In a few cases the dates of transfer were given, and some of the entries preceding William Manning's are subsequent to 1638, and some that follow his are previous to that date, making the particular point at which his pur- chase was entered of no value as a point from which to determine the date, theoretically, in his case. This real estate acquired from Geoi'ge Stocking was not the same which, according to the "list of those who have houses in town," he occupied 1635, B^eb. 8, for Mr. Stocking was its owner in 1635. William Manning does not appear in the '-Register " of 1635. Possibly he had owned another place and sold it in 1635, or it maybe that the ''list," above, was in- tended for the occupants rather than the owners of houses, and that he was then a tenant. The purchase from Mr. Stocking, made between 1635 and 1638, February, is thus described : " William Manning. Bought of Georg Stocking one house and Garden. Sabastean Brigham southwest. Crooked lane south East. Robert Sanders northwest. Jt Bought of him in pine Swampe ffield fowre Acres of planteing grounde Charles Towne East. Oxe pasture South John Russell north John ]Mean West. It At Jones his hill two Acres of Planting ground Gregory Stone west William patten east. Barnaby Lamson North John Champnies south." In 1645 there was a " division " of unoccupied lands to all DESCENDANTS OF AMLLIAM MANNING. 89 inhabitants who held " rights " — that is, of laud grants to owners of the original lots — and among others was the following : '' Willm Manuinge sen'' Three Acr & halfe more or lesse Thomas Beale East, Thomas Brigham "West Charlestowne Ivne, north, Comou south." Of the three lots above one was sold by him in 1645 to his sou, who sold it at once to Gilbert Crackbone. William Man- ning's homestead was at the southwest corner of what is now jNIount Auburn and Holyoke streets, but then called Spring and Crooked streets respectively. The location is a short distance south of Harvard square. It has been stated that his son inher- ited this homestead, but the compiler has failed to find evidence to confirm the statement. In any case, it is probable that it was sold before his death. No record of its sale exists in the form of a deed. It is interesting to note who his neighbors were, for this shows the manner of men with whom he associated, and the character of the locality in which he resided. Of his four nearest neighbors, three were respectively, John Russell, constable, selectman and clerk of writs ; Joseph Cook, selectman, town clerk, magistrate and representative, and John Bridges, deacon, selectman and representative. Not far away resided Hezekiah Usher, three years representative for Billerica ; Thomas Marrett, deacon and select- man ; Thomas Dauforth, selectman. Deputy Governor, Judge of the Superior Court and Treasurer of Harvard College, and Henry Dunster, President of Harvard from 1640 to 1654. Four other gentlemen, less eminent, but doubtless not less honorable, com- pleted the list of families in a neighborhood which surely held liigh place as to character. Items of record referring to our ancestor are few outside of real estate matters. He, with others, had been overtaxed at one time, and the result is seen in the action of the town, 1643, Nov, 11, as follows : "■ Bro, Planning, senior, his rate abated £0.2.00." Some one named William Manning was a member of the jury of the IMiddlesex County Court in 1652, and again in 1655, but whether it was the subject of this sketch or his son cannot be de- termined. If it were the son the word " junior" should properly have followed the name, and, according to the usage of that time, would have been used unless accidentally omitted. Theoretically, then, the juryman was the father. 90 THE MANNING FAMILY. William Mannins; was a freeman in 1640, which meant that he was a church member and voter. The founders of the new Colony, taking the first steps in the building of the future nation , took great pains to preserve Government and societ}^ from evil. Their Charter provided "That, from henceforth for ever, there shalbe one Governor, one Deputy Governor, and eighteen Assist- ants of the same Company, to be from tyme to tyme constituted, elected, and chosen out of the freemen of the saide Company," and these above-named persons were to meet at regular intervals to vote npon and enact laws for the Colony. At an early meeting of this body, or the General Court, as it was termed, the germ of our present free government was planted. Under date of 1G30, Oct. 19, their proceedings are thus recorded : "For the establish- ings of thegoum^ It was ppounded if it were not the best course that the ffreemen should have the power of chuseing Assistants when they are to be chosen, & the Assistants from amongst them- selves to chuse a Goun'' & Deputy GoSn% whoe w"> the Assistants should haue the power of makeing lawes & chuseing officers to execute the same. This was fully assented vnto by the geuall vote of the people, & ereccon of hands." Later, 1631, May 18. it was enacted that "to the end the body of the comons may be perued [preserved] of honest & good men, it was likewise ordered and agreed that for time to come noe man shalbe admitted to the free- dome of this body poUiticke but such as are members of the chnrches within the lymitts of the same." Again, in 1635, the privilege of the ballot was defined : " It was ordered, that none but freemen shall have any vote in any towne, in any accon of aucthoritie, or necessity, or that belongs to themby vertue of their freedome." In this way did the General Court seek to lessen the influence of such men in the Colony as were idle and not of good character, and if the precaution did not prove suited to a later time, it certainly was wise and praiseworthy in that generation. To be a freeman meant to be a church member and a voter, but it meant more — it was a certification of good character. Our ancestor had experienced a religious awakening in Eng- land ; he was perhaps a member of Mr. Hooker's church at Cam- bridge, as he certainly was during the pastorate of the latter's successor, Rev. Thomas Shepard. There is now in the library of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, of Boston, a manuscript book in Mr. Shepard's handwriting to which the pastor DESCENDANTS OF AVILLIAM MANNING. 91 gave the general caption : " The Confessions of Diverse pro- ponnded to be received and were entertained as Members." In this book the " confessions " of his flock are recorded. Mr. Shepard was an able preacher, an author and a learned man, but probably the most obscure penman who has left specimens of his writing in all New England. The ordinary reader, if conversant with the old-fashioned penmanship of that da}^ can make out isolated words in this book, and sometimes an entire short sen- tence, if patient enough to pore long over the lines ; but to decipher any considerable number of successive sentences is an impossibility except in case of one who combines a natural gift with professional acumen. To any one else the manuscript is un- readable. To add to the confusion Mr. Shepard did not use the graceful and flowing sentences of which he Avas capable, but jotted down the sense of the subject in short, curtailed, jerkj' sentences, addhig to the current but now obsolete abbreviations of the day a good many of his own (as will be seen below), and writing all in his amazingly puzzling hand. It has been said of his manuscript that it can be read in as many different ways as may be wished, if read at all. A few years ago a gentleman of Boston employed an eminent professional expert who was skilled in reading both the English and Latin of ancient manuscripts to decipher the confession, and the result is herewith given. Previous to this there had been sent to tiie compiler of this history, by another gentleman, a portion of the said confession. The two versions agree in the main, but differ as to some words. The in- complete version, as far as it goes, reads smoother and more coher- ently than the complete one. The present writer has compared both with the original Shepard manuscript, and is inclined to be- lieve the incomplete version the more correct of the two. Also, he believes that some words, notably those of but few letters, are incorrectly rendered in the expert's copy, and certain errors com- mitted. However, the compiler admits his own inability to wrestle with the manuscript successfully, and, conceding the skill of the expert, here gives the latter's version without change. Matter in parentheses, below, are interjected notes by the expert, and it need hardly be stated that " qu." is an abbreviation of "question." nor that " sic " means " thus," or •' it is so." How closely Mr. Shepard followed William Manning's own words is unknown. Possibly the manuscript is a nearly literal copy of a paper written by our ancestor, himself. 92 THE MANNING FAMILY.

William Manning lost his wife Susannah b}' death in 1650, and at some later time he removed to Boston, where he united witli the First Church. The record reads : " Willyam Manning was admitted member, 25. 6m'.', 1664." It is not certain that the latter date determines the time uf his removal. He may have gone earlier than 1664, and, for a time, have kept up his church relations at Cambridge, which, as far as distance was concerned, could have been done easily, but he cer- tainly was a resident of Boston in 1664, Aug. 25, when he became connected with the church there. The name of the mother of his children is unknown. We have his own statement, above, that she died on the voyage to this country. In a day when family names were generall}' repeated in each successive generation, her son named his daughters Hannah, Sarah, Abigail and Mary, respectively. Theoreticall}', the name of the first wife of the elder William Manning should be in this list, and opinion may well dwell strongly upon the first as, per- haps, the proper one. After arriving in the Colony he married (second) Susannah , of whom we know no more than that she died in Cambridge 1650, Oct. 16. Whoever she was, it is a reasonable conjecture, as elsewhere mentioned, that he had known her in England. He married (third), perhaps at Boston, Elizabeth , who survived him, but her identity is unknown, neither of these marriages being on record. The will of our ancestor, Avritten by some person unknown, was drawn shortly before his death, and, now on file in the Suffolk County Probate Office, reads as follows ; " The Last will & Testament of Willyam Maninge senior being weak of body but perfect in understanding and memorie Ijlessed be god I Willyam Maninge of Boston in new englaud in ye countie of Sufolk : Being weake of bodie but of perfect memorie, doe make & ordaine : This my last Will & Testament : in maner & forme as foUow- eth : Imprimis all my debts .ic fnuerall expenses beinge payde by my ex- ecutrix hereafter named: I doe give & bequeath unto my lovinge wife 96 THE MANNING FAMILY.

Rawson, Record^" The fact that the testator " made his mark," instead of sign- ing his name, does not prove that he did not know how to write. The compiler of this history has found instances of more modern date where men, after signing documents in handsome penmanship in their younger days, inscribed onl}^ their " mark " to their wills. Extreme bodily weakness or a disabled hand was responsible for this, and William Manning may have been under like affliction. No other papers accompany the will, and the amount of his estate cannot be stated, nor is it known when his widow died, or if any- thing remained at the time of her decease. He had some means, for he was able to purchase a home soon after his arrival in Cam- bridge, and seems to have believed that what he left at his decease would support his widow throughout her lifetime and leave some- thing for division among his heirs. The date of his death is unknown, as it is not on record, but it was between the date of his will, 1665, Feb. 17, and the time DESCENDANTS OF "WILLIAM MANNING. 97 T\-beD the document was proved, 1666, Apr. 2S. His age can only be conjectured. As his son was born about 1614, the father's birth -was, in all likelihood, as early as 1592, and probably several years prior to that date. It would not be surprising if he had reached his eightieth birthday, and seventy-four years is a more than modest possibility. It would seem that no headstone exists to his grave, and the place of his burial is unknown. A natural desire on his part, perhaps, would be that he might be buried in Cambridge, where he so long resided, Vmt, if such was the case, we might well expect that he would have gravestones, and that they would possibly be in existence now. On the other hand, if his widow was of Boston before he married her, her wishes might prevail and he be laid to rest there. This possibilit}' seems the more likely because the hand of man has not always been sparing of gravestones in places where land was of marked value. The point cannot be settled now. The children of William Manning- may have been manj^ or few. That he had only one son who lived to mature years is probable ; that he had but one dwelling in this country is next to certain. He maj' have had daughters. Some may have remained in England. As far as present knowledge goes, however, his descendants of the following generation seem to have been limited to those named below : 2. William, b. about I6I4, in England. 3. ?Haxxaii. In his church " confession " William Manning, senior, refers to his " wife and child," Avhich would seem to imply that he had no other children ; but in his will he leaves a be- quest to his "grandchild Samuel Walsbie." The use of the term "grandchild " may have been more a matter of conven- ience than of fact, and Samuel may have been a grandchild, not of William Manning, but of one of his later wives; but it is likely that the expression in the will should be taken exactly as it was used, and that William had a married daughter in the Colony. The family is easily located. David Walsby (also spelled Walsbee and Walsbery) was a freeman in Braintree, Mass., as early as 1651. His wife was named Hannah. At Braintree they had ch. : I. Samuel, b. 1G51, Apr. 9; d. 1G79, March. He was of suitable age to learn a trade when his grand- father's will was drawn, in 1605. II. David, b. 1655, Sep. 29; probably the David Walsbery who was a soldier of King Philip's war, and in the garrison at Punckapauge, 1676, Aug. 24; not further traced. Hannah, Avife of David, d. lG5o-G, Feb. 2. He m. (2d) Ruth Bass and had several daughters. Careful search for later descendants of David and Hannah has devel- 98 THE MANNING FAMILY. oped nothing ; possibly the sou David died in service, or he may have removed to a distance. The history of Billerica (page 58) says : " Goodman Walsley [?] -was granted ten acres of land" there, but the grant was later made " null." It will be seen that the historian was in doubt as to the name of the grantee. Should it not be Walsby ? If so, it seems that David, senior, contemplated removing to Billerica, a town in which the Manning family then had an interest. This probability adds force to the belief that Hannah, wife of David Walsby, was a daughter of William Manning. SECOND GENERATION. 2. WILLI AM2 MANNING (Williami) b. about 1614, iu England, came to the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in, or before, the year 1634, and, settling in the latter year in Cambridge, made that town his home throughout the remainder of his life. He early purchased a homestead and other laud, and engaged in bus- iness as a merchant ; a calling he followed throughout his life. This enterprise was not, however, limited to the mere selling of goods, for he owned a warehouse and boat-house on a canal to which boats had free access. Under date of 1631, June 14, the records say: "Mr. John Maisters hath undertaken to make a passage from Charles River to the New Town, twelve foot broad and seven foot deep ; for which the Court promiseth him satisfac- tion, according as the charges thereof shall amount unto." Mr. Paige, in his history of Cambridge, adds : " This canal still exists on the westerly side of College Wharf, from Charles River nearly to South Street. It was a natural creek, enlarged and deepened thus far, from which point, turning westerly, it extended along the southerly and westerly sides of South and Elliot Streets and crossed Brattle Street, where the town ordered a causeway and foot-bridge to be constructed, Jan, 4, 1635-6." To the warehouse, then, by way of the canal, boats came from Charles river, the wide stream which flows between Cambridge and Boston ; but from what point they started does not appear. The history of Cam- bridge, before quoted, says of Mr, Manning that he was " some- what concerned in navigation," and there is ample evidence of this fact, but the extent of this branch of his enterprise cannot be as- certained. When he died he owued "half" of a boat which, with the sails and oars, was appraised at £4. This shows that the craft was of sutlicieut size and importance to be propelled by sails when wind was to be had; the oars, it is to be presumed, being for use when passing through the canal, Iu this boat merchandise was conveyed, but from what point and for how long a distance has (99) LofC, 100 THE MAXXING FAMILT. not been learned. He constructed his own wharf b}^ the boat- house. Under date of 1651-2, Jan. 7, the records say : " William Manning is granted liberty by the inhabitants of the town, at a general meeting, to make a wharf out of the head of the creek, towards Mr. Pelliam's barn, to come as high as the great pine stump, and range with Mr. Pelham's fence next the high street into town." Again, 1654, Apr. 11, is this record: "The Townsmen do allow William Manning five pound out of ye put [present] Town Rate upon condition that he make a SutHcient wharffe from his ware house to ye Lower part of his land that he hath there Ditched in, so as to keep the tide off the highway, and to maiutaine the same in like good condition for twenty years next ensuing the date hereof." The warehouse was situated at what is now the southwest corner of Duuster and South streets. Early in life he became one of the most prominent and trusted citizens of the town, and was often called to public offices of trust. He was elected highway surveyor, 1651, and, the same year, " to size casks," or as gauger ; constable, 1652, '66, '68, '75 and '79, and selectman, 1652, '66-70, '72, '75-81, '83, or a total of 15 years. The last-named office carried with it the management of the town's business affairs, and that he was so often elected is evidence that his fidelity and sagac- ity were highly appreciated. He was a member of the grand jurj' of the Court of Sessions in 1686, and again in 1688, and in 1675 was one of the Jury of Grand Inquest of the County Court. His name frequently appears on committees to view lands and highways and determine what should be done in the several cases. In 1660 the records say : " Edward Oakes & William Manning are chosen to joyne w'^ the committee formerly chosen, y*^ eighth of Decmr, 1656, for the prosecuting & effecting a Bridge over Charles River." The Acts and Resolves of the State, under date of " Uth 8ber 1670" have the petition of John Stedman and William Manning, acting for Cambridge, in which they represent said bridge as being in a decaying condition and ask for relief from the General Court, which thereupon allowed a schedule of tolls. In 1669 the town rec- ords say : " At a meeting of the Select Men M'' William Manning and petter Towne was appointed to agree with workmen to take downe the Scholehouse and set it up againe and to cary the stones in the cellar to the place whare the house for the minister is to be built." In 1675 " William Manning, Nathaniel Hancock. John Jackson and John Gove are appointed by the selectmen to have DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 101 luspectioa into families that there be no bye drinking, or any mis- demeanor wherebj^ sin is committed, and persons from their houses unseasonably." Eighteen different instances have been found in which Mr. Manning was concerned in the settlement of the estates of his fellow citizens, either as executor, administrator, or in some other capacity. He was one of the appraisers of the estate of Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, the third pastor at Cambridge, 1668, and also, of Rev. Urian Oakes' estate in 1681. The inventory in the latter case is in William's own writing. He was a freeman in 1643; hence, was as early as that date a member of the church. The records of the Cambridge church of that period are meagre and do not record dates of admissions, but a list of members in the time of Rev. Mr. Mitchell has, among other entries, the following : "William Manning and Dorothy his wife both in full communion. Their children, Hannah, Samuel, Sarah, John, ^lary, all born and baptized in this church." After Mr. Mitchell's death in 1668 Mr. jManning was selected by the church to go to England and prevail upon Rev. Urian Oakes to come to Cambridge and accept the vacant pastorate, and this mission he performed. The old records say: " An account of seaverall providencis of God to the Church of Cambrigd, after the death of that reverantaudemmeut man Mr. Jonathau Mitchell, pastor of the church, aud the actings of the church for supply in the ministry. After sume time of seeking god by prayer, the lord was pleased to guide the Church to make theare application to M'' Vrian Oakes in old England which to further the same theare was a letter sent from the Church with A meseuger uaraly M'' William Maning with a letter alsoe sent by seuerall Magistrates and Ministers to Invite him to come over and be an Oflcer amongst vs which he after Couusill and advice did Except." The sickness and death of I\Ir. Oakes' wife, and his own ill health, delayed his coming until 1671, in which year he was or- dained at Cambridge. At this point the record says : "August the 9th, 1671. Delivered to William Manning sixty pounds in silver to pay toward the transportation of M'^ Vriau Oakes his fami- lie & goods & other disbursements." From this it will be seen that Mr. Manning continued to be selected by his associates to act in a matter of importance, show- ing that he had discharged his duties to their full satisfaction. Mr. Oakes not only remained pastor until his death, but was elected President of Harvard College. 102 THE MANNING FAMILY. In 1670 Mr. Manuiug was appointed with an associate "to catechise the youth" of the town. The most important trust of his life was in connection with Harvard College, he having been selected, with Deacon John Cooper as an associate, to replace the old college building with a new one, and to receive and disburse the funds for that purpose. This was in 1672, and as the final accounting was not made until 1684, it will be seen that the work covered many years. The records of the General Court (Legislature) term these two associates stew- ards, trustees and overseers at various times. The name of Will- iam Manning appears oftener than that of Deacon Cooper, and as he received more than two-thirds of the sum allowed to them for their services, it is clear that the greater part of the work, man- agement and responsibility fell upon him. To both it was a momentous trust. The Harvard College of that day was nearer to the hearts of the people and officers of the Colony than any college in this country is likely ever to be again. Established by the General Court, itself, and that, too, only 16 or 17 years after the lauding of the Maj'flower Pilgrims, it was the pride and hope of a people who had cast their fortunes in a new land. It was the head-center of education, and, moreover, the source whence the several churches must obtain most of their "learned and orthodox" ministers. Further, the connection of the General Court did not end with the establishment of the college ; it continued to watch over, scrutinize and govern the seat of learning. Thus, when Mr. Mannmg and Deacon Cooper were selected to supervise the erec- tion of the most important building in the Colony, and to handle the funds necessary for the undertaking through a long period of years, they became responsible to society, church and state. It was an important trust. The first step toward the establishment of the college had been in 1636, Oct. 28, as appears from this record of the General Court : " The Court agreed to give 400' towards a schoale or colledge, whearof 200' to bee paid next yeare, & 200' when the worke is finished, & the next Court to appoint wheare & w^ building." Tiie following year Cambridge was chosen as the location, and in 1639 it received its name. Harvard College. For some time previous to 1672 it was seen that the college build- ing was becoming " decayed," and needed to be replaced by anew structure. In this emergency, and in the lack of available funds, the General Court appealed to the citizens of the several towns for DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNINCJ. 103 subscriptious, and with such success that more than £2,600 was promised, and prosecution of tlie work was authorized. The fol- lowing document is from the Archives of Harvard College : " At a Meetiiig of the Overseers June 20, 1G72, the following order was iiKuIe and agreed upon Whereas the Gen" Court having perused and considered the order of the Conncill bearing date Sep' 12, 1671, to promote a generall Contri- bution for building a new coUedge at Cambridge, of brick or stone, as an addition unto Harvard Colledge, unto w*^'' there hath been a returno from severall towns of considerable summs subscribed for that work w^** pub- licke ».<: pious designe & work the Court hath approved, and by their order bearing date, May 15, 1G72, have referred it unto the Overseers of the Colledge to cause the s'' good work to be prosecuted to eflects. In pur- suance whereof the Overseers of the Colledge do nominate choose and appoynt Deacon John Cooper and M'' William Manning of Cambridge, to be Agents & SteAvards to manage that work, both in hiring & paying work- men & Artificers, in procuring and purchasing materials & in doing all other matters & things referring to the Iniildiug and finishing of s"! Col- ledge, & for this end they are hereby inipowered and authorized joyntly and severally to receive all the contributions that are or shall be given for this work and to give acquittance for the same, and faithfully to dispose what shall be received for the best advantage, keeping exact Acco'^of all receipts and disbursements, the Overseers of the Colledge reserving for themselves, the selection & appoyntment of the place, matter, forme and directions of this new building : Also do order that if at any time the s* Stewards shall meet with any obstruccon in this work they shall & may have recourse to the Overseers (or such committee of them as they may appoynt) for advice and Assistance, and when the s^* work is finished, and faithfull Acco'' given by the s^ Stewards, the Overseers do promise that meet recompense and allowance shall be made & give unto the said Stewards for their care & pains therein." This paper was signed by Governor Richard Belliugham, Deputy-Governor John Leverett, Simon Bradstreet and twelve other overseers, or, in other words, by the highest otliceholders and most eminent men of the Colony, The Stewards soon found that theirs was uo easy task. The persons in the various towns who had subscribed to the fund failed to fulfill their financial ob- ligations, and the result is set forth in the following paper, written by William Manning, and to be found in the INIassachusetts ar- chives, 58-90 : " To the honorable governor and magistrates now assembled in generall Court. Wee the subscribers being appoynted to take charge & steward- ship of the' Brick Building that is now erecting at Cambridge as an 104 THE MANNING FAMILY.

Wee humbly conceive that further is not at present expected by your houord selves from us your worships servants : this 29th of maye 1674 William Maxxing John Cooper." The General Court took action on this petition May 12, 1675 (if all dates herein are correct) and in these words : " Vpon information from Deacon John Cooper & M^ W"' Manning, (who are betrustedfor the coUedge worke or aedifice at Cambridge,) that seuerall tounes haue returned no subscriptions to this day, as appears by an accompt vuder the said trustees hands, this Court doeth therefore order, that the secretary doe forthwith signify to the tounes respectively the pleasure of this Court, which is, that the selectmen in each of the tounes (which are behind in their payments according to their subscrip- tions) doe forthwith make such efl'ectuall provision, that the one halfe thereof at least may be speedily brought into the said comittee, & the re- mayning part as soon as may be ; as likewise that letters may be sent by the secretary to those tounes that yet have not subscribed, requireing the elders or ministers in the sajd tounes to stirr vp the inhabitants to so pious and necessary a worke." These notifications did not accomplish their object in full. The towns were poor and the task of making their pledged pay- ments difficult, but this did not help the Stewards. Their diffi- culties continued, and are set forth in another letter written by Mr. Manning to the General Court. This paper, by some chance, is not among the Archives, but in the files of the Supreme Court, at Boston : " Wee Whose names are herevnto subscribed, being Intrusted & Imployed by the Worshipfull & Reuerend gentlemen the overseers of the DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 105 College at Cambridge as Agents & stewards to raannage the worke of the new buildiug for the CoUedge both in hyreing & paying Workmen & Arti- ficers, iu procnreing & purchasing materials And in doeing all other mat- ters «!t things Referring to the building & Unishing the sayd CuUedge, And to Receiue all Contributions that are or shall be giuen for this Worke &c. ; Wee haue accordingly through the good hand of our god with vs according to the matter manner form and Dimensions prescribed vuto vs, Disbursed such contributions of moneys corn Cattel & other goods as Wee could procure, & have brought the building on so farr as that the outside Worke is for the most part finished & the liberrary compleatly finished & one chamber, all the rest of the house, for the present vseless, the most of the floores Wants boards, 3 cases of hal pacte* staires to bee made that Will not be done With a little cost, & the greatest part of the house to plaister & siele within side.

William Manning John Coopek." This letter is full of suggestion as well as statement. It shows the Stewards struggling to do a great work with but little to do it with, and, iu view of their five years experience with the difficulties, it is a wonder that their courage and devotion did not fail and lead them to resign their task to others ; but they clearly were not of the kind to yield to adversity. The General Court again acted and sent a letter to such towns as had subscribed but not paid : ♦ This letter, unlike the others written by William Manninp, has several times been printed. Despite the fact that he wrote a very clear, haudsome hand, the words read as "hal pacte "are a mystery. Many persons liave studied them and tried to read them in some other and comitrehensible way, but, p:ntly, perha))^, because of a former fold in the paper, without success. As they cannot be reail anytliiii;; but " hal pacte," it may be it was some technical term of that day, now obsolete, and by him rendered, correctly or incorrectly, as it is now read. 10() THE MANNING FAMILY.

Wee entreate & expect that yow hasten w"i in two months to compleat your full summs, & remitt the same to M'' Mauiug, & others at Cami)ridge betrusted iu that matter, that the work may be finished." At the same time the towus that had not subscribed at all were thus addressed by the General Court : "Gent": — The necessity of the case presseth vs to write these lines to excite and stirr vp the godly and well disposed minds of yo'"selves, brethren, & neighbours, the inhabitants of IpsAvich, &c, to joyne yo'' helping hands in a free contribution for finishing the newbricke colledge at Cambridge, w<^'^ being begvnn about two yeares since, and advanced in a good measure, but during the warr hath stood at a stay for want of money to finish it; but now the old colledge being fallen doune, a part of it, and thereby rendered not habitable, and the new colledge is like to suffer much damage if it be not .speedily finished, these considerations vrge vs to desire yow will follow the example of yo'' brethren and neigh- bors in other parts of the country, & speedily collect what the Lord doth incljne the hearts of the good people of yo"' tonne to contribute for this good and publick worke. Touching the way & manner to eflect this mat- ter, we leaue it to yo' prudence, only desire your dispatch in this attayre w'Mn a month or two at furthest, and that yow will endeavor to procure what yow can in money, or that which is a3quivolent, because the worke will need such specie ; and what yee shall doe herein, either by way of svbscription, or receive iu money or other pay, wee desire that yow will transmitt it to M"" Maning and Deacon Cooper, of Cambridge, stewards of that aflayre, whose receite shallbe sufficient. Wee hope there is no neede of arguments to excite yow hereunto ; Avee shall only desire yow to consider that scripture, I Chronc 29, especially from verse 10 to 17, wherein David and the people of Israeli gave liberally vnto a good Avorke, praysing God that he had given them hearts to ofler so willingly, ac- knouldging that all their sul)stance came from God, & that of his oune they had given him, \-ers 13." These appeals did not meet Avith full success, and in 1678, October, the General Court appointed committees iu the several towns to sue delinquent subscribers, if necessary.

Samuel Mauning, administrator, made oath to the correct- ness of the inventory. William Manning and Dorothy, his wife, were buried in the now old cemetery by Harvard Square, and the headstones to their graves remain in good condition. They record that William Manning died 1690, Mch. 14, aged 76, and Dorothy, his wife, 1692, July 26, aged 80. The year of his death is imperfectly given. According to the old method of double dating he died Mch. 14, 1690-1, which, according to present methods, means Mch. 14, 1691. The double date should have been put upon the stone, if clearness was desired. Full copies of these inscriptions will be found on a previous page. He died full of years and honors — a merchant ; a selectman, and often called to public offices by the town in other ways ; a trusted agent in various special cases ; a steward for the rebuild- ing of Harvard College, and messenger of the church, ministers and magistrates to prevail upon a minister in England to accept the pastorship of the Cambridge church. Such a man was surely regarded as possessing business ability, integrity, fidelity and sagacity. Moreover, he would not have been selected as the mes- senger to England if he had not been of good personal appearance and pleasing address. The teachings of a past generation to the contrary notwithstanding, all was not simplicity of dress and cus- toms in the colony. On tlie contrary there was as much of fashion and more of personal ornamentation than now, and Cambridge, as the College town, could scarcely have been second to any other ; 118 THE MANNING FAMILY. hence, the messenger chosen from among so many would not have been thus selected had he not been of personal appearance and address sure to uphold, when in England, the dignity of the Colo- nial church, ministers and magistrates.

Had he lived he probably would have succeeded his father as owner of the homestead, and, perhaps, in business. In 1668, Apr. 6, he was witness to a deed wherein his father was concerned, and, 1669, Apr. 1, was again a witness under like circumstances. 9. Maky, b. about 1651. 10. ? Timothy.

He was reared in his native town, and the superior educational facilities which, for that period of time, it possessed seem to have been improved in his case ; his handsome penmanship and easy style of composition in his mature years showing that he had learning beyond the average of his associates. Of his youth one event has been spared by Time. When 18 years old he and several other young men were summoned before the Court and reproved for firing off their guns at night to cause an alarm. They belonged to a militia company, and the object of the alarm seems to have been to give the impression that Indians had attacked the town, but even the Court was not disposed to look too sternly upon the boyish prank. We may be thankful that this incident has not been lost to us, for it shows that, in a time of severe precept and practice, the young people managed to intro- duce a measure of human nature and lightness into their otherwise DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 121 puritanical lives. In 16G4, October 17, the inhabitauts of various towns addressed themselves to the General Court afliriuing their loyalty to the existing Government as long as their charter privi- leges were not taken away or curtailed, and petitioning that they " may not be subjected to the arbitrary' power of any who are not chosen b}' this people according to tlieire patent." This was the same spirit which actuated the Revolutionary patriots a century later, and it is a matter of gratification that, among the other in- habitants of Cambridge, appears the name of Samuel Manning. At this time he was married, and, some time between the date last given and the early part of 1666, he removed a distance of about 20 miles to Billerica, with which town his fortunes were thereafter cast, and where his intelligence and integrity caused his associates to bestow numerous honors upon him as long as he lived. His first home there was at the extreme northern part of the village, which was the same as the present " Center " village, but, at a later period, he removed to and occupied his farm west of the Concord river. He was in the full sense of the word a pioneer. When he purchased his home only 46 years had elapsed since the lauding of the Mayflower Pilgrims at Plymouth, and Billerica. a settlement lately made in the wilderness, had for but nine years contained enough inhabitauts to be incorporated as a town. The Indians were still strong and numerous in the Colony, and, friendly one day and hostile the next, they endangered the lives of the white settlers and marked their history with forays and massacres for the next 60 years. King Philip's war was in 1675 ; Dunstable was assailed in 1691 and again in 1724, and Lovewell's expedition was in 1725. All this while Billerica was in danger, the more so since the town had within its limits a considerable Indian popula- tion ; and twice the Red Men fell upon the town with tragic results. In these local massacres Samuel Manning lost his neighbors, and that he and his family escaped does not change the fact that, in every year of his life, they were exposed to danger and death. Their situation while they lived' on the farm beyond the Concord river was very exposed, and it was then that one of the massacres took place. Some of their nearest neighbors fell victims to the Indians, but none of their family. Tiie men of the town were formally enrolled and prepared for defense, and certain houses were selected as " garrisons," to which the inhabitants could hasten in case of alarm. In 1675, Aug. 13, at a Town Meeting, the 122 THE MANNIXG FAMILY. inhabitants expressed themselves as follows: "The Towne, con- sidering the providence of God at the p^'seut calling us to lay aside our ordinary occations in providing for our creatures and take special care for the p^'serving of our lives and the lives of our wives and children, the enemy being near and the warnings by gods providence upon our neighbors being very solemne and awfull, do therefore order & agree joyntly to p''pare a place of safety for women and children, and that all persons and teams shall attend y^ said w^orke untill it be finished ; and account of y® wholl charge being kept, it shalbe equally divided upon the inhabitants with other Towne charges. Also they appoint Serj"' ffoster, Serj^^*^ Tompson, Sam" Manning & Jonathan Danforth to be overseers of y^' same." What resulted from this maybe seen by the further record showing that, on the 31st of the same month, Samuel, and about 30 other citizens, were paid for "work at the fortification at [Rev.] Mr. Whiting's house." Samuel worked five and one- half days, and was paid 11 shillings. In 169G he was one of a committee of three to take account of the town's stock of ammu- nition. They reported as follows : " the barrell of powder Comited to Capt Danforth the weight thereof one hundred and ten pound 110 the remainder of the old barrell sixty & eight 068 the weight of barrs of lead six score 120 flints one hundred and thirtie 130 bullets thirtie and eight 038 match suficient weight uncertaine " This ammunition was the common property of the town. The final item of resource — " matcli suficient " — shows that they used the old matchlock guns, which were fired by the application of a burn- ing fuse, or match, to the powder in the pan of the weapon. It was in the above year that Samuel built his house on the west side of Concord river ; the house which became one of the "garrisons" of the town, and of which an account will be found elsewhere in this work. Militia service was required of every able-bodied male inhabitant, and in the Billerica company Samuel appears conspic- uously. He was made corporal as early as 1682 ; sergeant in 1684, and ensign in 1699. Whether he ever saw actual service as a soldier has not been learned, but it is altogether probable that he did. Indians were not the only wild creatures that prowled in the woods ; troublesome animals were there, and of these the wolf DESCENDANTS OF AVILLIAM MANNING. 123 was particularly dangerous to their herds and, in consequence, was the object of bounty. The town records say: "11m. 83. The Button Jun' got another Avolfe. 12. 83. Sam" Mauing & Jonath. Dauforth Jun^' got another." And, the next day, the two just named " got another and a wild catt." The bounty on a wolf was 20 shillings. It was a life of self preservation against human and animal foes, and of great hardship. ^Ir. ]\lanning, who was, in private life, always a farmer, reduced his land to cultivatable form only with great labor ; he had settled in the wilderness, and it was not easy to reclaim his acres from their wild condition. The town elected him to nearly all the offices within its power to bestow. He was surveyor of highways, 1668, '76-7 ; sealer of weights and measures, 1675, 1700; constable, 1677; trial juryman, 1679; assessor, 1694, '98, 1702; tithingman, 1679-82, '95, '97, 1704-9, or 12 years ; town clerk, 1686-90,' 92, '99, or 7 years ; selectman, 1673, '77-9, '82-90, '92-4, '96, '99, or 18 years, and representa- tive to the General Court (Legislature) 1695-7. A man thus honored certainly had the confidence and esteem of his fellow cit- izens. The town records are full of commissions to him in con- nection with his offices, or in special cases. At various times between 1677 and 1700 he Avas connected with the repairing or rebuilding of " the great bridge " over Concord river. He had knowledge of the surveyor's art, and, for over 25 years, was often appointed on committees, or alone, to lay out land grants and high- ways and " measure land." In 1674 he was on a committee " to make satisfaction to severall psous that have bin imployed about the gratuities of meadow," etc. ; and, in 1680, on a committee ''to have y*^ bounds renued between propryetys and y*^ towne Com- mons." In 1685 ''The Selectmen did Nominate, constitute, or- daine & impower Serj. >Samuel Manning to be their lawfuU attorney for them, and in their roome & steed to prosecute their attachment against Willm Careby of Cambridge, before y*^ worsh*"" It.

In 1692 he was paid 14 shillings for writing 14 pages in the town book. In 1693 124 THE MANNING FAMILY. he was on a committee to oversee the building of a new meeting- house. In 1693 he was appointed by the selectmen "to carry down their orders and By laws to the Quarter Sessions for their allowing and approving." In 1695 he and Capt. Danforth were appointed " to draw up a petition to present to the honord generall Court the next session." In 1698 he, with one other man, was appointed " to take accompt of arrears due unto the Reverend Mr. Samuel Whiting." In 1685 some of the town's surplus money was confided to him " to keep," and like items occur at intervals dur- ing the next ten or more years. The money seems to have been entrusted to him as a depository safer than any other then avail- able. In the later years of his life the records bristle with pay- ments to him for services not particularized. In 1670 he was made a freeman by the Colony. He was on several occasions chosen to settle the estates of deceased inhabitants of Billerica. He was a member of the church, as is shown by his long service as tithingman. Samuel purchased, 1666, May 23, of Caleb and Elizabeth Beal, of Hingham, a dwelling house and 32 acres of land lying on the west side of Long street, Billerica. This lot, origi- nally granted by the town to one Thomas Hubbard, who soon died, is thus described in the grant : " One parcell of laud, containing thirty & two acres, be it more or lesse, lying on y^ north side of y*^ township, & on y*^ west side of long street, bounded by James Pat- erson on y*^ south, by Concord river west, by long street east, & by John Rogers sen*' north ; it is thirty pole wide next y® highway, & thirty and one pole wide upon a bevell line next y^ river, also there is allowance for a highway at y® west and next y*^ river." Samuel Manning's purchase also included a six acre lot formerly Mr. Hubbard's, with the right of future divisions of laud by the town. The financial consideration given was " a valuable sum of money." His acreage was soon added to by purchase and divisions of land — 1 acre and 16 poles in 1666 ; 6 acres in 1670; 1 acre and 56 poles in 1672; 24 acres in 1673 for " seaven pound ster- ling ;" 34 acres in 1674 for £9.10 ; 4 acres at a date not given ; 10 acres in 1685 ; and, at various later times, 145 additional acres, all of the town. This adds up over 225 acres, exclusive of his first purchase. The above acquisition of 24 acres in 1673 is inter- esting because it was the first tract of laud of any considerable size that he acquired west of Concord river, and, consequently, was the practical beginning of his large farm there. It is described DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 125 in part as " lying on the west side of our great river upon vine brook and on the soutli side of ye country roade, to talie ye round swamp, tliat has ye little pond in it, and part of the pine plaine on ye easterly side of it, and so take ye spangs of swamp westward," etc. It would seem that the present ancient house stands upon this tract. It is possible that Samuel at once built on this land, but it was not until 1696, or 23 years later, that he erected the house now standing (a history of which will be found elsewhere in this volume). Whether he resided there long or only a few years he finally returned, if a reference in JMiddlesex County Deed 15- 287 is reliable, to his lot in the village, which he had always re- tained. In 1710, Apr. 17, he purchased of Capt. John Lane and Lieut. John Stearns, for £11, ten acres " lying north of said Man- ning's lot on which he now dwelleth." The bounds show this pur- chase to have been north of Samuel's village lot. But on the same day he sold the said village lot, or Hubbard place, to Benj. Hey- wood, so he seems not to have passed his last days in the village house. He lived only ten months longer, and this time may have been spent in the farmhouse beyond the Concord. He was a large holder of real estate, for, on the death of his father, he had become owner of thelatter's homestead and warehouse in Cambridge. The latter property he conveyed to his own son Samuel, 1698, Jan. 19, but the disposal of his Billerica holdings cannot be so clearly accounted for here. By the above deed of 1710 he sold to Mr. Heywood not only the village place but about 83 acres of other land. In his will of 1711, Feb. 21, he stated that he then owned about 18 acres of laud. Of the large farm there is no mention in the will, nor in any deed, but as it is certain that his son William had the farm, it seems equally certain that the transfer was made by a deed from father to son ; but the deed never was recorded. This farm remained directly in the hands of descendants, passing from father to son several times, until 1880. and is still held sub- ject to the testamentary will of its latest Manning occupant. The will of Samuel Manning reads as follows : "The last Will and testament of Samuel Manning sen"" In the name of God, ameu, the twenty first day of february Anuo- que Domini seventeen hundred and ten eleven.

By this will his wife became possessed of upwards of 18 acres of land and considerable " movable Estate," but neither will nor deed has been found to show when or how she disposed of her property. She certainly did not convey anything under the name of Abiel Manning that is now found on record, and a long search, based upon the possibility that she married again, has developed nothing. Her son William doubtless inher- ited, in some way, all she received by this will. Samuel Manning m.

Her father gave her £20 by will, " which, added to what I formerly gave her, will be her propor- tion," adds the will. This was dated five days before his death, * Isaac Stearns, her father, from Xaylaiul Parish, Suffolk, Eng., came to America in 1030, probably in the same ship with Gov. Winthrop and Sir Richard Sal- tonstall. He settled in Watertown, near Mount Auburn. He was a freeman in 1631; hence, a church member; and several years selectman. In 1U47 he and Mr. Biscoe were appointed " to consider how the bridjje over the river shall be built, and to agree with the worlimen for doing it, according to their best discretion"— the lirst mention of a bridge over the Charles river at Watertown.

Samuel Manning married (2d) 1673, May 6, Abiel Wight,* b. 1654, Jan. 1, at Medfield. Her Christian name has often been printed, and in a variety of forms, such as Abiah,Abial, Abiall, etc. The compiler has chosen the only form that has the weight of authority. She was originally given the Scriptural name of Abihaile, but this seems soon to have been modified. In five dif- ferent cases she appeared with her husband as a grantor to a deed, and on every occasion she signed her name Abiel. It is true that the spelling is Abial in her husband's will, but the accompanying bond has it Abiall, invalidating both of these forms ; and, in any case, the will was written by some one not a member of the fam- ily, and, among numerous other errors, the name of her son Eliphalet is spelled Eliffelet. This shows the spelling of the will to be valueless. Abiel herself must be considered the prime author- ity, and the form she used must necessarily be chosen for these pages. She was living 1713, Jul}' 3, but the date of her death is unknown. Samuel Manning d. 1710-11, Feb. 22, at Billerica. The exact place of his burial is unknown. His descendants in Billerica of the succeeding generations were all buried in the cem- etery at the " Corner." This lot was appropriated for burial pur- poses in 1707. The South cemetery was put in use in 1663, and is much larger, but the former ground was nearer to Samuel's residence, and, as his immediate descendants lie there, the Corner was, perhaps, his own resting place. No gravestone to his mem- ory can now be found ; if he ever had any it has disappeared, and, it would seem, forever. * Thomas Wight, her grandfather, came to America at an early date; was probably at Watertown in 1635-6; settled at Dedliam 1637; freeman 1640, and selectman six years from 1641; was often selected for performance of public services, and was interested in schools ; removed to Medfleld about 1650, where he was 19 years select- man and, in 1667, deacon.

The William who married Mary Manning graduated at Harvard in 1671, became a minister and was ordained pastor at Dedham in 1673. A contem- porary ranked him " among the choicest of the ripe fruit of this young generation." As a scholar and theologian he held high place, and as a man he was amiable. Mary, his wife, d. 1679, June 24. He had kept a journal of passing events, and in its pages he paid her this tribute : " My dear and loving wife departed this life after we had been married 4 years ami 8 months, whereby I am bereaved of a sweet and pleasant companion and left in a very lonely and solitary condition."

He was a man of great learning and a profound Hebrew scholar; lectured before educational bodies ; was often called in church councils, and, as a pastor, was amiable, popular, devoted and efficient.

SAMUEL" MANNING (Saml.,3 Wni.,2 Wm.i) b. about lC6o, probably at Cambridge, Mass., but possibly at Bille- rica, where he was reared. He took the oath of fidelity " 8, 7^, 1681." In 1693 the town " Granted unto Samuel Manning Jun. liberty to set up a shop to work in and liberty to lay timber about & to set a Cart &c near to the passage over the River during the time of his keeping the ferry." This was probably the Coucord river. He removed to Cambridge before 1695, when, under date of Mch. 8, the records of that town say, "Then was the Town's Stock of Powder and ammunition removed from Mr. Sam" An- drews' house, and committed to the custody of Sam" Maning, aud the selectmen agree with said Sam" Maning, for his care, to allow him annually six shillings in common pay." In 1698, Jan. 19, his father conveyed to him for £85, of which £15 was " onward of his portion " as an heir, the old homestead in Cambridge at the S. E. corner of Duuster aud South streets ; the house and one-quarter of an acre of laud, with out-houses, fruit-trees, etc. ; together with the warehouse, boathouse, wharfing and appurtenances, on the S. W. corner. After this, deeds term him "■ waterman," because of his calling. He was a witness to the will of Sam'l Andrews, 1698, and one of three men who took the inventory of his brother- in-law, Ebenezer King, 1710. His place of residence is not cer- tain for the 8 years following 1714. In this year, after having long held office in Cambridge, he ceased to fill such offices and bought land in Windham, Ct., but it is not certain he was there until 1722, and he was in Cambridge, as a resident or visitor, 24 Apr., 1721. He sold a part of the old homestead 28 Sep., 1720, to Jonathan Remington, and the remainder, 24 Dec, 1725, to Andrew Boardman. The latter deed was not recorded until 1796. His Windham purchase of 4 Nov., 1714, was from William Mer- rick, and lay between Merrick's Brook and Beaver Brook. It (132) DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM .MANNING. 133 contained 240 acres, and cost £62. 10s., and was the first deed recorded in " Book E," at "Windham. Occupying this farm as early as 1722, Mr. Manning there passed the rest of his life. The laml was in the eastern part of the town, which was organized as the Third Parish in 1732, and, known as "Scotland Society" from the organization of the church there in 1735, was set off about 1860 and incorporated as the town of Scotland. It was in Scot- laud, as now constituted, that nearly all the Mannings of this line lived, and to which the consideration of descendants should turn, but as it was until lately Windham, the old name will be retained in this work. Samuel Manning often held town office. At Bille- rica, he was highw\iy surveyor in 1693. At Cambridge, he was sealer of weights and measures 1701, '2, '4-14, a total of 13 years ; highway surveyor, 1702; one of two inspectors of the "great bridge over Charles river," 1704, '5; constable, 1707; and clerk of the market, 1714. At Windham, tithingman and school com- mittee, 1722 ; and selectman 4 years, 1723, '4 and '32, '3. ABille- rica grant of 1710 calls him ''Ensign Samuel Manning Jr., of Cambridge." It has not been found that he took part in actual service, so it is presumed that the title was of militia origin. At Cambridge, 10 Jan., 1697, he was admitted to full couiuiunion in the First Church, as was his wife 26 May after ; and both united with the Congregational church in Windham before 1726, as did his second wife, by letter, in 1731, and the latter and he were mem- bers of the colony dismissed in 1735 to form the church at Scot- land Society. At one time he was on a committee to engage and settle a minister, and, again, to oversee the erection of a meeting- house. That his opinions were held in respect is shown by the fact that, in a spirited discussion concerning the theological views of a certain pastor. Ensign Manning appears in an atfidavit in which he set forth his knowledge of the case. He d. at Windham 1755, Feb. 20, aged about 90, though his gravestone says " in his 93d year." Exaggeration is common with gravestones, old and new. That of his first wife says she d. in her 63d year, whereas, if the record of her birth is correct, she was two years younger. Their graves are in the Palmer Burying Ground of Scotland Soci- ety. By his will, which was dated 1750, Mch. 2, Mr. Manning divided his land between the two oldest sons of his own son Sam- uel, deceased, as follows : To Josiah a s[)ecial bequest of three quarters of an acre, and the northerly half of the rest of the farm. 134 THE MANNING FAMILY. including tlie house, barn and orcliard ; and to Hezekiah the south- erly half. The first of these grandsons was to pay his sister Abigail £70, and Hezekiah to pay to each of his younger brothers, Samuel and David, £140. Other bequests were to the testator's own chil- dren : To bis son John 20 shillings, which, with what had previously been given him, was his full share of the estate ; to his daughters Abigail Carter and Elizabeth Bingham, £45 each ; and to the chil- dren of his deceased daughter, Mary Case, a like sum jointly. He m. Deborah Spalding,* b. 1667, Sep. 12, at Chelmsford, Mass. An item in her father's will was: "I also will that in the space of six months after my decease my son Edward pay to my daugh- ter Deborah Manning the summ of five pounds in common pay the same to be pay'^ to her or to her heirs or assigns at the s*^ Edward Spauldyng's dwelling house," The testator gave a like sum to his daughter Sarah, who had married John Manning (12). Deborah d. 1727, Aug. 8, at Windham, and Samuel Manning m. (2d) at Norwich, 1731, June 10, Sarah Gale, of Canterbury, per- haps widow of Richard Gale. She d. 1746, Oct. 11.

He does not give date of birth or baptism, nor any further account, but bases his statement on the alleged fact that Edward is mentioned in the will of his brother. Dr. Joseph Manning. This will remains in the Cambridge Probate Oflice, in good condition, and contains no reference to Edward. For 13 years the present writer has searched far and near for the alleged Edward without finding any sign of him as infant, youth or man, nor of anybody who bore his name at that period; and, as Mr. Paige's sole authority proves to have been an error, it seems safe to say there was no such person.

In 1691 the town records say, "John Manning was ordered to mend the meeting house windows ;" and for one day's work and the necessary boards and nails furnished by him, he was paid 3 shillings. This is the first sign of the call- ing he followed throughout his life, that of a carpenter. Sometime between 18 Nov., 1696, and 2 Jan., '98, he removed to Cambridge, his subsequent home. In the latter year he furnished material to the town of Billerica, as the town's financial account shows : " John Manning received of Joseph Thompson for five staves at two shillings and fower pence per staff, the charge for procuring 136 THE MANNING FAMILY. them 00.11.08. for fetching them up 00.03.04." He was witness to the will of Thomas Stearns in 1606, and to that of Samuel An- drews, 1698, where his scholarly autograph appears. He was elected to minor town offices in 1700 and 1708, and, 1712, as tithingman, but was excused. From this we may infer he was averse to holding office. The following paper (from Mass. Ar- chives, V. 107, p. 133), is the first known step to his later military service : " To the honored Gouernor Counsill & representytes siting in counsill att Bostowne : we reseviug ane order from youer Honors bareiugdaate the 14 of June 1689 : that all the compauise & reiementes within the masichusites Colony should meet together & nominate ther Cometyon offesers to be presented to youer Hon- ors to be a loued and commisinatid in obedieus unto this youer order : we that belong to that troop chiefly gathered in billdirica : Asembled y® 20 day of June instant did unanimously nomiuat Raph Hill Captain : Jerathmal Bowers Lef tenant. John Lane Cor- net : John Starnes quartermaster." This report is signed with 6 names, of which one is John Manning's, but they are not auto- graphs, nor did he write the body of the paper. It refers to the local Billerica militia organization, but John was soon in different service, he being a soldier in the expedition lo Canada led by Sir William Phips, in 1690, against the French, in King "William's war. After being long delayed by waiting for promised supplies fi'om England the expeditiou, consisting of a fleet of 32 vessels and upwards of 2,000 men, sailed from Boston, Aug. 9, and, after further delay on the way, arrived before Quebec, Oct. 5. Count Frontenac, the Governor, was summoned to surrender the next day, but refused, and an attack was made the 7th. A force of 1,800 men was disembarked to operate by land, going ashore " in ice and water knee deep," and " so cold was it that ice formed in one night of sufficient thickness to bear a man," and frozen hands and feet were common. Sir William bombarded the tow^n, while the land force, remaining on shore some three or four days, fought well and "defended themselves as best they could against the combined force of the elements, and bullets of the French and Indians, but making no effectual advance toward the capture of the place." The enterprise failed, partly because the original de- lay brought them before Quebec in a season unfavorable for oper- ations, and partly because the governors of New York and Con- necticut, having promised to send a laud force by way of Albany DESCENDANTS OF ^\aLLIAM MANNING. 137 to aid, and to divide the French troops by such a demonstration, failed to keep their word, their own expedition giving up mid-way and returning home. To add to the troubles of Sir William, small- pox broke out in the fleet, and he reluctantly raised the siege and sailed for Boston, where, after a stormy voyage, he and most of his men arrived Nov. 19. The loss was 300 men, and sickness the chief cause. The leaders in this campaign have been adversely criticised ; the men, never. There are no known rolls of the sol- diers, but John Manning's service is proved by the Mass. Ar- chives. The following petition to the General Court [Archives, 115-684] bears date 30 May, 1750 : "A memorial of the Sub- scribers a Committee of Sundry of the Descendants of the Souldiers in the Expedition to Canada in the year 1690, whose names are herewith produced to your honors ; — Humbly Shewing That the Hon!^ Geu'i Court apointed a Com^lS to Inspect the Lists of Can- ada Soldiers or there Descendants ; (in s'? Expedition) and Divide them into Seperate lists by Sixty ; that they might be allowed grants of Lands for Townshipps agreeable to the practice of the Hon^ Court for Several years past ; that the Said Com!£5 were pleased to Insert the names of your Petitioners to Gether with others named in one Seperate List making up the number of Sixty ; which List was Lodged in Court (As we were Informed & burnt in Bos- ton Town house; so that your Pet'"^ are not able at this Time to produce the Same List to present the Same to your HonI*,) your Petitioners therefore Humbly pray your Honour & Hon^ in yo"r Great Wisdom Justice & goodness to Grant them with Such others your honi:§ shall please to Joyn to them to make up the number of Sixty (living as nigh to gether as may be) a Tract of the Unap- propriated Lands of thejj^rovince of Six miles Square, upon Such Conditions & under Such Limitations as to vour Hon'" & Hon''« Shall Seem meet and your Petitioners as in Duty bound Shall ever pray &c. [Signed] Saral AVhittemore, Sam'. Whittemore, Jr. Coni'ee &c." Archives 115-685 begins thus: "The names of Sundrey pei'sons Descendants of the Soldiers who were in the Ex- pedition to Canada in the year 1690 : Referred to in the petition to the Great & Genii Court for a grant of land &c by Sam' Whitte- more & Sam' Whittemore, Jur &c, 30 May, 1750, as FoUoweth." Then comes a list in which the name of the claimant of 1750 is fol- lowed by that of the soldier upon whose service the claim is based. The claimants were, inmost cases, sons, but sometimes grandsons, 138 THE MANNING FAMILY. etc., of the soldiers. Edward Manning, second son of John, claimed under Wm. Blanchard (why, I find not ; possibly he had purchased the claim) and John's own service was with his eldest son, John, as claimant. About 30 names appear in the list. Action was long delayed by the General Court, and it was not until 1771, June 11, that the grant was made. In the lapse of years death had been busy. In 1 750 the claimant for the services of Sir Wil- liam Phips had been Capt. William Phips (son of Spencer Phips, who was an adopted sou of Sir William), but Capt. William had died before 1771, and, his claim descending by inheritance to his brother David, the grant was usually referred to as having been made to " David Phips and others." The second John Manning, too, was dead, and his brother Edward had succeeded to his claim. In the Boston Gazette^ 1772, Aug. 8, appears, as an advertisement, a petition from the proprietors of the so-called township, which is described as ' ' lying on both sides Amarascoggiu [Androscoggin] River, in the county of Cumberland, in the late province of Main, granted by the Great and General Court of this Province, the 11th of June, A. D. 1771, to David Phips, Esq; and others, heirs and representatives of such as were in the expedition against Canada in 1690," praying for authority to call a legal meeting of said pro- prietors to elect necessary officers and transact other business. This petition was signed by " David Phips, Sam. Whittemore, Fra. Dana, Eben. Stedman, Edward Manning, Alex. Shepard, jun." Authority was given, and the meeting duly held. Settle- ment was long delayed, however, the chief cause being the troubles incidental to the growth and progress of the Revolution, and, in the meanwhile, the management of the township remained in the hands of the proprietors in and near Cambridge. Taxes were reg- ularly assessed by the proprietors, and, as many of their number did not pay these dues, there were frequent advertisements in the Gazette, warning them that if said taxes were not paid their land would be sold to obtain the money. While the present writer has doubtless overlooked several of these notices, they are found in the Gazette in 1774, June 13; 1775, Feb. 13; 1779, Feb. 22 and Oct. 18 ; 1782, Dec. 30 ; 1784, Mch. 29 ; 1786, Feb. 13, and 1788, Dec. 1. In each case the grant is definitely described, and in that of 1779, Feb. 22, it has, for the first time, a name ; that of Phips Canada. These assessments were, at different times, to defray the cost of " obtaining the grant and laying out the same ;" to DESCEXDAXTS OF ^VrLLTA:\r MAXMXG. 139 build a sawmill; to encourage settlers to locate on the township, etc. The amount was usually 20 or 30 shillings on each right, and the taxes became so burdensome that the original grantees in most cases sold their rights to others, few going to Phips Canada. The grant is now the town of Jay, Franklin Co., Maine. Edward Manning sold his father's right, 1774. Apr. 25, for £12.5. Another lot in his name, which he had somehow acquired on the right of one Siah Harris (of which, previously, I know nothing), was sold 1792, Apr. 5, for unpaid taxes. What became of the Wm. Blanch- ard right has not been learned. It is not probable that any of the Mannings went to Jay, for the town clerk thereof states that he fails to find the name on early records there, and that he has known of no person in the vicinity who bore the name. John Manning, subject of this sketch, and his wife 8arah were admitted to full communion in the Cambridge church, 1697-8, Jan. 2. His " minister's rate," or tax for the support of the church, is entered on the books thereof from 1698 to 1706, the amount varying from 8sh. 6d. to llsh. 6. He bought of Richard Proctor, 1708-9, Jan. 27, for £52, " in Province Bills of Credit or Silver Money at the Rate of eight shillings p'' ounce, a parcell of land Situate lying and being in the Township of Cambridge, containing by estimation about Twenty Hods, together with the housing." This was on the west side of Dunster st., "on or near which the first meeting- house was erected," and was his home until his death. He m. Sarah Spalding, of Chelmsford, sister of his brother Samuel's wife. (For her ancestry see Samuel's sketch.) She was probably b. about 1670, though the date has not been found on record, nor is it known when she died. She is not mentioned in papers relating to her husband's estate, which indicates that she d. before him. Her father left her £5 by will. Joliu Manning d. 1718-19, Feb. 3, at Cambridge. Probably he was buried near the group of Manning graves, but no headstone has been found. He died intestate. He was not a money-maker, and the inventory of his estate was but £69.1.0, of which, £56 was the appraised value of the house and the shop. His son Edward was administrator, and the latter, pur- chasing the rights of his brothers and sister, l)ecame sole owner of the homestead. Ch. : 34. John, b. 1605-G, Feb. 2'J, at Billerica. 35.

WILLIAM^ MANNING (Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm i) b. 1677, June 27, at Billerica, Mass., where he always resided. He had his father's farm, probably by deed of gift, and lived on the old homestead. He seems never to have added to the farm by purchase, but his possessions had been early augmented by grants, including 48 acres in 1708, and probably by others in the 30 years after his father's death, when several " divisions " of land were made by the town. He sold on several occasions; in 1710 (16 acres for £3.15, on west side of Concord river) ; in 1715 (5 acres for £20) ; in 1716 (29 acres for £12) ; in 1753 (6 acres in Tewks- bury for £2.13.4) ; and iu 1758 (about 2 acres for 18 shillings). The greater part of his laud he divided by deed between his two sons. To William he gave 86 acres in 1734; this deed was not recorded until 1793. To Jacob he gave 41 acres in 1735, and 56 acres in 1738. The homestead became the former son's property. The elder William held various town offices — highway surveyor in 1712 and 1735; tithingman, 1723; selectman, 1726; one of a committee " to regulate and order where the school shall be kept in the several quarters of the town," 1729, and, also, in 1732-3, '35-6. In 1729 he aided iu surveying Concord line, and, 1737, was on a committee to " provide all materials necessary for build- DESCEXDANTS OF >VILLIAM MAXNIXG. 141 ino- the meeting house, and see that the work may be well and effectually done." About this date, in a list of " sittings " in the old meeting house, he was one of 19 men who, out of a total of 150, were dignified with the title of '' Mr.," and one of the 10 who occupied the best, or " fore seat below," as it was called. Pews were little known. Having been elected tithingmau, he must have been a church member. He was prominent in the militia, and was elected ensign as early as 1723. He was joint executor with his mother of his father's will. He m. Elizabeth French,* b. 1679, June 8, at liillerica ; she d. 1736, Sep. 19, and he m.

Of all the early members of the family, no other male has left so few signs behind him as the above Isaac. 144 THE MANNING FAMILY. He went to Cambridge before July, 1707, at which time he was 22 years old, and perhaps resided there until liis death, but we are not certain even of this. It seems that, iu his lifetime, his name was not often made a matter of public record, and, perhaps, never after his death. He was in Cambridge continuously from 1707 to 1723, and probably until 1742. The first sign of him is when, 1707, July 27, he is credited in the church book with the payment of 6 shillings, his minister's rate, or tax for the support of the church. Similar payments are entered each year, the rate ranging from 7sh. upward. It was 8sh. in 1719, '20, and '21 ; 9sh. 8d. in 1722, and 9sh. Id. iu 1723. The latter is the latest recorded entry, but the book was very imperfectly kept. Margaret, his wife, was admitted to full communion 1727-8, Jan. 9. Nothing is found to show that he was a member, but he or his wife must have " owned the covenant," if no more, prior to the birth of their first child, as it was baptized promptly. In 1709 he was witness to a deed iu which his brother John was a principal. Isaac was elected to town office as follows : Hog -reeve, 1713; fence viewer, 1714, '18; highway surveyor, 1721. At a meeting of the selectmen, 1742-3, Feb. 28, the expense of caring for the poor was considered, and certain sums awarded to those who had, by direction of the select- men, given such care. One citizen was paid 6 shillings, and then follows this record : " Also Isaac Manning 6 old tenor for the same service ; the said 12^^ to be paid out of the money received of Robt. Bull." This payment is the last sign that has been found of Isaac. He may have left Cambridge, but it is more likely that he continued to reside there until his death, of which we have no record. It is not found that he ever owned real estate, nor that he left enough property to call for a division in the Probate Court. His occupation is also unknown. He m. 1708, Apr. 8, Margaret Eager,* b. 1681, May 25, at Cambridge, The date of her death has not been found.

He bought and sold real estate to a considerable extent, being a farmer. The purchases bear date of 1733, '39, '49, and the sales of 1736, '42, '48, '54, 'GO and '69; a total of nearly 190 acres. The latest sale was of 2 acres only, and closed out his land holdings. His first purchases, disposed of in 1736, were in the N. E. part of Sutton, east of Blackstone river ; the later acciuirements, in the N. W. part, on the Worcester line. In 1813 this section was set off and incor- porated as the present town of Millbury, though some of Isaac's land may now be within the limits of Auburn. The old, or South Church of Sutton records that, 1778, Dec. 27, he died " after long weakness, aged about 70." Examination of the cemeteries of both Sutton and Millbury, and of town and church records, fails to add to his history. It is not found that he ever married, though existing records are so incomplete as to render a decisive statement impossible. No wife appears in his deeds of sale, nor is there reliable mention of any house on his land. His brother-in-law and his niece, Nehemiah and Rachel Pntnara, were witnesses to his last deed of sale. This may possibly indicate that, when his "long Aveakness " fell upon him, he went to live with his sister, Mrs. Putnam. 78. Makgarkt, b. 1710, Sep. 25. 79. William, b. 1712, Oct. 24. 80.

In 1714 he was paid by the town for work "at y*^ bridg," when that structure was repaired. He bought, 1717, Dec. 31, of John Wilson, Jr., for £180, "one certain massiige or teneniont situate in Billerica," 32 acres, upland, meadow and orchard land. This place was in the present Center village, and the next lot south of the first home of his father in town. He sold it 1727, June 29, for £350, and removed to Woodstock, Ct. There he bought, 1727-8, Feb. 8, of Isaac Johnson, for £255, " a certain tenement of housing and land situate in Woodstock" ..." Fourty acres of land and a mansion house." Another lot, bounded on one side b}' the land of his brother Timoth}', cost £50. He and his wife joined the early Woodstock church, 1742, and, 1750, at the reorganization of the 10 >: 146 THE MANNING FAMILY. town, he was among the freemen. He seems not to have held town office there. In all known cases his occupation is given as that of a housewright, but he was probably also a farmer.

He first settled in Reading, and was there from 1712 to 1717, and probably later, but removed to Sutton before 1720, having been one of the 30 families to whom 4,000 acres of land were granted by the General Court, 1717, on condition that they located thereon. There, in 1 721, he was elected tithingman, and also chosen as one to whom the moneys of a special tax to buy a pulpit cushion for the church should be paid. The same year the town desired to get its Province Tax abated, and prepared a petition in meeting. "The same day Timothy Man- ning chosen by a Major vote to go with it and speak to it " [to the General Court]. In 1723 he was one of a committee to '' seat the meeting house." In this year, Jan. 15, he and Jos. Sibley were to have a pew together, " Front 4 foot and 2 inches cant one foot and one incii running to the stairs, deep 5 foot and 6 inches and so long as the Pew remains between 2 families the men have the liberty of their seats." Within the next year he removed to Wood- stock, Ct., and there spent tlie rest of his life, being elected liigli- way surveyor in 1726, and tithingman in 1728 and '29. He "owned the covenant " at Reading, 1707, July 6, at the age of 15, and, at Sutton, 1720, was one of the founders of the church therein, his 148 THE MANNING FAMILY. name standing first on the list of those who took part in the forma- tion. He was chosen " monitor" and deacon in the same year. He and his wife became members of the Woodstock church in 1727. He was a housewright and farmer. He d. 1735, Oct. 27, " after long weakness." He, his first wife and several children are buried in the Woodstock "Hill" cemetery; the memorial stones need the attention of friendly hands. His will, recorded at Worcester, bears date of 1735, July 8. He gave 10 shillings each to his " three children," Samuel, Joseph and Susanna, evidently all that were living ; but made provision for the possible birth of another, giving to his wife the residue of his estate with the con- dition that, " If it pleases God she shall have Issue of her Bod}^" what she might leave at her death was to go to that issue, " but if it please God she have no child," one-half of her estate was to descend to the three children above named, and she had liberty to dispose of the other half as she saw fit. Probably no child was born, and, financially, it mattered little. The inventory was but £98.03.4, and the latest paper on record, dated 1735, Nov. 24, signed by the widow, who was executrix, expresses the fear that the estate would prove insuflicient to pay Deacon Manning's debts, and "sickness and funeral charges."

ELIPHALET4 MANNING (Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.>) b. 1G93, July 28, at Billerica, Mass. He settled as a fanner in his native town, in the southeast part, buying, 1714, July 1, of Joseph Walker, land " on the south side of Shawshin river." The price was £25, and the quantity, 80 acres and 40 poles. The southern boundary was Woburn line, but the incorporation of Wihnington, 1730, made the latter a nearer neighbor, and some of the Billerica settlers not onlv wished to be transferred to Wilmington but were wanted by that town. Eliphalet was one of nine signers to a peti- tion to the General Court, 1733-4, Mch. 4, asking to be annexed to Wilmington. Their reasons were that they lived so far from the place of public worship in Billerica, and for most of them it was only half as far to the meeting-house in Wilmington [Archives, 114-543]. The petition was not acted upon, but Kliphalet's farm was a partoftliat Billerica territory set off 1734, Dec. 23, and in- corporated as the town of Tewksbury. It is said that he erected the second board house built in the latter town. The cellar exca- vation of this old house may still be seen (saj^s a descendant) . It is on the left of the road as one goes from Tevvksbury to Wil- mington, near the southern boundary line of the former place, on land known at an early day as " the Manning farm." As the line 150 THE MANNING FAMILY. now runs a part of the farm is in each town. Descendants say the farm contained 170 acres, which shows that it was added to by grant or unrecorded purchase. It remained in the family until 1856, or later. "The house built bj' Eliphalet was removed from its original site years ago, and the upper story at present forms a part of Mr. Hill's blacksmith shop at South Tewksbury." He m.

Eebecca, b. 1695, May 6, and that Mrs. Manning named her second son Thomas. Eliphalet d. 1780, June 13, at Tewksbury. He prob- ably was buried in the cemetery in the south part of the town, but no gravestone has been found. The statement has been made that 60 Mannings, of this branch, lie in unmarked graves in a long line in the above cemetery. The number may be an exaggeration ; otherwise, the statement is correct. By his will he divided his farm between his son Eliphalet and dau. Rebecca, the son to have the live stock, etc., and household effects, exclusive of one bed, which was bequeathed to " my granddaughter, Betty Manning." The testator's son Thomas, deceased, had already received his portion, so the latter's son received but 10 shillings. No other heirs are mentioned. Ch. : 112.

SAMUP:L5 manning (Saml.,4.Saml.,3iWm.,'-^ Wm.') b. 1690-1, Jan. 14, at Billerica, Mass., but was chiefly reared at Cambridge. As early as 1716 he went to Windham, Ct., and, no doubt, settled upon and began to work the farm his father had purchased in 1714. Little is linown of his short life. He was ad- mitted by the town as an inhabitant, 1716, Sep. 24, and was elected assessor in 1720 and '26 ; and highway surveyor, 1722. The index to the early deeds is in bad condition, but it is believed he did not own land. Beyond doubt he had been selected to succeed his father on the farm, but his early death prevented. He and his wife were members of the Windham church. His estate furnished £16.19sh. for each of his children. His father was administrator, and guardian of Josiah. Hezekiah Ripley was guardian of Heze- kiah, Sai-ah, Abigail and Samuel, and Samuel Cook of David, the youngest child. He m. at AVindham, 1719, Apr. 20, Irene Ripley, b. 1700, Aug. 24; sometimes spelled Irena ; dau. of Joshua^ and Hannah (Bradford) ; granddau. of John^ and Elizabeth (Hobart), and great-granddau. of William' Ripley.

Joshua^ Ripley, above, was the first town clerk and treasurer of Windham, and justice of the peace. Our Irene's grandmotlier was a dan. of Rev.

JOHNS MANNING (Saml.,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wra.i) bap. 1696-7, Jan. 17, at Cambridge, Mass., where he lived until 1725. A part of the time he was a cordwainer, but he was also styled a " waterman," and when it is noted that the sale of the old family homestead by his father took place soon after the son's departure from town, it would seem to be a reasonable theory that he lived in the old dwelling-house, and followed his father's business, as the latter was a " waterman " when in Cambridge. His tax for the support of the church is entered upon the records thereof from 1718-1723, inclusive, the amount being from 7 to 8 shillings a year. He bought of his father, 1724, June 20, " a cer- tain lot of land in the recent division of land in Cambridge," 2J acres, for £20, and sold the same Feb. 3 after for £47.17. He and his wife sold, 1725, Oct. 25, for £60, their rights in the estate of " our honored father Joseph Winship, deceased," to her brother Joseph. In 1725, between Feb. 3 and June 14, John Manning re- moved to Hopkinton, and, about two years later, to Windham, Ct. There he was a farmer in Scotland Society, acquiring land both by deed of gift from his father [1729-30, Jan. 2, seventy acres, lying next to his father's] and by purchase [1742, Oct. 6, ten acres for £30]. The town records show that, 1728, Dec. 2, " Seth Palmer & John Manning prays the town to grant them Liberty to make a damm across mericke Brook In order to Raise a pond for the lien- efit of a sawmill to be erected thereon by them." This petition was granted, and indicates an extension of John's line of business. He was elected fence viewer, 1731, '47 ; sealer of leather, 1736, '38, '43_4 J grand juror, 1736 ; constable and collector of the town rate, 1738, '42-4. At Cambridge he or his cousin of the same name (the writer will not undertake to say which) was a soldier in Capt. Samuel Wheelwright's company, 1723, Oct. 23, to 1724, June 2, the service being against hostile Indians, and near York and Wells, in the Province of Maine. Nearly all of the company resided in Maine. At Windham, John was prominent in local military affairs. The State Colonial Records show that, 1741, in May, " This Assembly do establish and confirm Mr. John Manning to be Lieutenant of the second company or trainband in the town of Windham, and order that he be commissioned accordingly." Three years later DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 153 he was similarly made captain. At Cambridge he was admitted to full communion with the church, 1716, May 13, and he united with the church at Windham in 1728, by letter, as did his wife in tlie same way, 1729. He was made clerk of the parish, 1732. He and his wife were members of the colony dismissed to form the new church at Scotland Society, 1735. He d. at Windham, 1760, May 5, and, together with his wife, is buried in the old cemetery on the east side of the Scotland-Norwich road, about f of a mile south of Scotland church. He left no will. In the disti'ibution of his estate his widow had a share in the house and the barn, and the rest of said house and barn went to their son Joseph, with 13 acres and 38 rods of land. A large part of the farm passed to their son John, who purchased the shares of the other heirs. The house above mentioned appears to have been built by Capt.

JOSEPH^ MANNING (Saml.,^ Saml.,3 AVm..2 Wm.i) bap. 1705, May 12, at Cambridge, Mass. He became a student at Harvard College ; the first of his family to enter there ; and graduated in 1730, after which he began a career as a physician, the first of his famil}' in that profession. Our knowledge of his life is deplorably limited. In the diary of Thomas Seccomb, of Medford, are found these entries: 1736, Dec. 12, " Mr. Manning our schoolmaster preached." And 1739, Aug. 5, "Sermon by Mr. Mauuiug, Doctor."* From this it will be seen he had located at Medford ; that he was practicing medicine, and that, like other professional men of his time, he also engaged in teaching. He had been admitted to full communion in the Cambridge church 1727, Nov. 16. The above diary shows us that Doctor Manning filled the pulpit on sundry occasions. In 1740 he was at Billerica, where, Nov. 24, he was paid £20 for teaching school three months, and, 1740 [1741?], Feb., a like sum for another three months. Our next information comes through the medium of his will, which 8hovr.s he had removed to Woburn. The will follows : " In the fear of God amen, the twenty ninth Day of Octob"" Anno : Dominie 1744 I Joseph Manning of Woburn in the County of Middlesex, of the Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England Physician. Calling to mind the mortality of my Body, having a design by the divine permission to go to Sea, Do make and ordain this my last Will and Testa- ment.

The first paper, dated 1745, Oct. 29, is an ac- count of the bonds and notes due the deceased, with the appraised value of certain personal property added. The total was £363.1 4.7, but this was increased at the time of the final accounting to £461.6.7, of which £96.8.0, was from the sale of Dr. Manning's books, £30, the sale of his watch, and £35 the cash left by him. The residue was from bonds and notes. The executor craved allowance for a total of £139.19.6, among which items were the following: "The Deceased Funeral Charges, £9.2.6.

WILLIAM-' MANNING (Wm.,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.^) b. 1707-8, Feb. 28, at Billerica, Mass., in which place lie always lived. The town records give the payment in 1720, "To William Manning Jun'' for killing two wildcats £02.00.00," and, later, £1, a like bounty, for the killing of a third wildcat. He was paid in 1740 for " providing larths for the new meeting house £0.t." He was prominent in local military affairs ; wascommissiouedby Gov. Shirley as " Lieut, of the West foot-company of Billerica, Capt. Ralph Hill, in the 2d regiment of militia, Eliazer Tyng, colonel," 17o4, Sep. 4. This was the time of tlie French and Indian wars. 170 THE MANNING FAMILY. In 1757 Col. Tyng, " raised" a company of militia for active ser- yice, after the fall of Fort William Henry. Thomas Flint was cap- tain and William Manning, lieutenant [Archives, 95-501, and the next page, 502, has the following]. " A List of the soldiers that went out of Billerica under the care of Lt. William Manning in the late Rupture when fort William Henry was taken August 1757." Lt. Manning was elected selectman, 1749; highway survej'or, 1743, '50; one of a committee to order where school should be kept in the several quarters of the town, 1744-7, '57 ; tithingman, 1746 ; to perambulate the town boundary lines, 1753 and after; on a committee to reckon with the town treasurer, 1758 ; and consta- ble, 1744-5. In the former year £73.05.09 of the town tax was committed to him for collection; in the latter year, £111.15.06. In 1755 his name was " drawn out of the box to serve at the next Superior Court at Cambridge ;" that is, as grand juryman ; and again in 1757. He was on a committee, 1761, to provide material for the bridge over Concord river, and to complete tlie work thereon. He was a farmer, living in the historic Manning house which, together with 86 acres of land, his father conveyed to him by deed of gift, 1734. He added to his farm; 60 acres in 1743 for £28.10.0, and 30 acres in 1769 for £13.6.8; all contiguous land. In 1752 he was licensed as an innholder by the Middlesex Co. Court, and thus the old Manning house entered upon its career as a tavern under his management. His "• minister's rate" [tax] was 7sh. 2d. in 1733, and 9sh. Old. in 1755 ; and his province tax £2.7.8 in 1776. By will he gave 1st, to his wife, who was execu- trix, " all my household stuff & indoor movables except husbandry tools ;" also a "full third part" of his estate ; 2d, to his son Tim- othy £13.6.8 ; and 3d, to his 5 children the residue of his real and personal estate, to '• each in like proportion as is the manner of in- testate estates," or in equal shares. His daughter had already re- ceived £20. The inventory shows that he had a horse, a pair of oxen, 2 cows, a heifer, 7 sheep and 2 swine ; also 208 acres of land, appraised, with the buildings, at £443. The total was £512.06.00. The eldest son became sole owner by purchasing the rights of the other heirs. William m. 1742, Nov. 10, Elizabeth Dauforth, b. 1717, May 4, at Billerica.

JACOBS MANNING (Wm.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.' (b. 1710, Mch. 27, at Billerica, Mass. He resided in his native place. He received a part of his father's farm by deed of gift, 97 acres, and, in 1741, bought 15J- acres for £40. In 1742 he sold 12 acres of swamp for £18. His homestead was on the west side of Con- cord river. He had a seat in the meeting-house, 1736, in the '•2d seat. Front Gallerie." His minister's rate, 1755, was 7sh. lid. He was a member of the " second jury" in the County Court of Ses- sions, 1744. He was elected highway surveyor, 1741, '48, '54 and '57 ; and constable in 1749, in which year was committed to him for collection, first, £21.11.08, and then £42.01.09 of the town tax. He provided timber for the new meeting-house, 1738 ; was one of a committee of two " to take care of our upper bridge over Con- cord river," 1749, in which year, also, he was paid for " string pieces and labor for the Bridge," and on a committee to decide "where school shall be kept in the several quarters of the town," 1758. In 1761 he was paid for " work on the bridge." In 1762, Sep. 3, two days before his death, his will was drawn. The phraseology of this paper is peculiar in that it has the form and legal terms, not of a will, but of a deed. His wife was appointed administratrix; his son Jacob was one of the witnesses. The testator gave, 1st, to his wife " all my indoor or household mov- ables, except such as are peculiar for husbandry use;" 2d, to his daughters, Mary, Martha and p:sther " the free use of a room in my Dwelling House " during their lives. Two of the three did not long require the room ; Martha and Esther died the same 172 THE MANNING FAMILY. month. The personal inventory was £174, and that of the real estate, £310. His homestead, 107 acres, with buildings, was ap- praised at £264; a wood-lot of 16 acres at £38, and 4 acres of meadow at £8, making the above total. In 1769 the siu'viving children joined in deeds by which the farm was divided between the sons Jacob and Jesse. Jacob, the father, m. 1736-7, Jan. 20, Martha Beard, b. 1714, Aug. 21, at Billerica. She was a dau. of Andrew and Mary Beard, who were in Arlington as early as 1672, and removed to Billerica about 1713.

Isaac, b. 1743, Nov. 8. A farmer. Lived in Billerica until 1773, when he went to Bedford. Then, and in the next year, he was in precai'ious health, as is shown l)y papers in the Probate Office. Probably soon returned to Billericii ; was living there, " a little off of the Bedford road," in 1782. He m. 1772, June 18, Esther, dau. of Josiah and Elizabeth (French) Crosby, b. 1736, Sep. 17, at Billerica, whose death is not found; and C2d) 1789, Nov. 3, Sarah, widow of John Totinan. No child is recorded, and probably there was none. Isaac is mentioned in the town records up to and including 1806, in which year he probably died. It is true that the above records refer to his " grave" in an item entered among others iu 1792, but said item is at the foot of a page, and a sudden change in the color of ink sug- gests that the economical town clerk turned back a few leaves and filled in a space left blank in 1792. This is one view of the matter ; another, which is very improbable, is that a child was born, and that it was a son Isaac who was mentioned iu 1794- 1806. 208. Jesse, b. 1745, Aug 18. 209.

WILLIAM^ MANNING (Isaac,'' Saml.,3 Wm.,"^ Wni.') 1). 1712, Oct. 24, at Cambridge, Mass. He early settled at Charlestown and became a ferryman in 1748. As early as 1631 a ferry had been established between Charlestown and Boston, " where the Charles river bridge now is," and control thereof, and revenue therefrom, were granted in 1640 to Harvard College. In "William's time four boats were run, and the management of said boats was granted by lease, by the College, in four parts, one part to each lessee. In 1748, Aug. 31, "one-fourth " of said ferry was leased to "William Manning, the other three-fourths beiuar in like manner under the control of James Kettle, Joseph "Whittemore and Wm. Teal, respectively. The rent was £150 a year in ''Bills of Credit of the old Tenor," in four payments of £37.10, payable on the 1st of Nov., Feb., May and Aug. Each lessee was to keep one strong boat in good order and have sober persons to row it. 174 THE MANNING FAMILY. "William renewed his lease in 1752, and again in 1754 (Oct. 1, for two years), and other renewals must have followed as receipts for the rent from him are entered on the College book down to 1763, Oct. 14, and there is no known evidence to contradict the belief that he continued with the ferry nearly as long as he lived. His occupation was unique. What famous men he must have ferried across the river! Mass.

[Signed] William Manning, Joseph Whittemore, William Teel, Thomas Manning." This petition was granted. Mr. Manning was among the financial sufferers by fire when Charlestown was burned after the battle of Bunker Hill. With others he made a statement of his losses and made a claim for damages. His loss included £266.13.4 for two dwellings " belonging to me and wife," and £5 for per- sonal estate, and £1.4.0 for cartage. The last item is a silent but eloquent witness to the hasty flight of the family from the burning town, with such personal effects as they could save. [See sketch of his son James.] Efforts to secure compensation for these losses brought no financial return, except that the aged and infirm re- ceived slight public and private assistance, and for seven years the State taxes were remitted. The sufferers by the fire Avere numerous, however, and for over 50 years repeated applications were made to various high sources for relief, a petition being pre- sented to Congress as late as 1834. The justice of these requests availed them nothing ; they had to bear their losses. In 1738, Jan. 12, " Then was drawn by the Town Clerk out of the Box for Petit Jurors as followeth, M^' William Manning " and five others. He bought 1755, Apr. 19, for £40, one-half of a house and one-half part of the land by the same, on Wapping street, near the present DESCENDAXTS OF WILLTA^F MANNING. 175 Nav}' Yard. He left no will. Administration on his estate was granted 1777, Dec. !>, to his widow and his son Caleb. The in- ventory was £159.4.6, which was increased by cash received to a total of £179.0.6. After paying all debts the amount was £155.9.4. Division: To the widow, £51.16.5 ; to the eldest son, £18.16.10^ and to each of the other heirs, £9.8.5} (except James, who had received more than his full proportion already). The heirs joined ill deeds, 1788, March 11, by which they sold their father's estate above mentioned. William, the father, m. 1735-6, Jan. 1, Eliza- beth Kettle, b. 1716, Sep. 18, at Charlestown, and d. 1759, buried Dec. 8. Her ancestry was Benj.^ and Mary (Dyer), her parents ; Dea. Joseph- and Hannah (Frothingham), and Sergt. Richard^ and Esther (Ward) Kettle, all of Charlestown, where Richard was a church member, 1633. Mr. Manning m. (2d) 1761, Jan. 6, Mrs. Joanna Webber, b. 1723, Sep. 15 ; d. 1787, Aug. 27, at Medford, of lung fever. Her maiden name was Whittemore, and the above marriage was her third, she having been successively the widow of Samuel Bodge and John Webber. Her ancestry was Joseph^ and Mehitable (Raymond) , her parents ; Josepli^ and Joanna (Mousal) , John- and Mary (Upham), and Thomas' and Hannah Whittemore, all of Charlestown, where Thomas settled about 1642. William Manning d. 1776, Nov. 8, at Medford. The town record calls him "of Charlestown;" the church record, "late of Charlestown." Medford was probably his home after the fire. He was buried at Medford, and his gravestone was in existence at a modern date [ Wyman's Charlestown], but recent search for it has been in vain. On this stone his age was given at 60 years. In the churcli record, in a column which the pastor wisely iieaded " supposed age," it is also 60. The age of Joanna, the widow, appears in the church book as 65. In point of fact he d. aged 64, and she, 63. There is a family tradition that Mr. Manning had 3 wives and 21 children, but the division of his estate to 11 ch., or the heirs thereof, shows that none were living in 1777 other than those named below. The known issue were b. at Charlestown. Ch. of William and Elizabeth Manning: 230. William, b. 1736, Oct. U. 231. Elizaukth, bap. 1738, Dec. 24. 232. Isaac, b. 1742, . 233.

This is all that is known of his short life. He died before the birth of his child, which is recorded as " the son of Daniel, deceased, and Elizabeth Man- ning," but the date of his death does not appear. It seems that no gravestone exists. He evidently owned no real estate, and left no property to be divided by law. His tax was abated 8.2 at a town meeting in 1741. He m. in 1738, published Nov. 16. Eliz- abeth Rumford Abbot (according to Wyman's Charlestown. Mod- ern copy of Charlestown records says '' Elizabeth Abbot, of Rumford.")

His calling is unknown, except that, in 1752, April, he was asso- ciated with his brother "William iu the management of the ferry [see 79]. The incomplete town records afford little chance to learn more of him, but he died before 1770, '' when his widow 12 178 THE MANXIXG FAMILY. lived in D. Newell's house," says W3Miian's Chavlestown. The same volume states that Thomas Mauuhig, Jr., son of Thomas, died of small pox 1752, July 10. This death does uot appear ou the town records, but has been preserved by the diary kept by one Robert Galley, who then resided in Charlestown. Was it Thomas, the son, who died then? Or was it Thomas, the father? Mv. Galley recorded other deaths, etc., in the Manning family in suc- ceeding years. In three cases he mentioned the death of Manning children, and always in one form: "Isaac Manning's child bur- ied;" "William Manning's child buried:" "Mr. William Man- ning's child buried;" with the date in each instance. In the case under consideration he wrote, "Thomas Manning died of small pox natural July 10, 1752." Is not this the death of an adult, rather than of an infant ? Was it uot the father who died then ? In the previous April he had joined in the petition to have the ferry service decreased because of the prevalence of smallpox (see sketch of his brother William). As a ferryman he was especially exposed to the contagious disease. Did he succumb to it? Exten- sive search has been made to find the tile of a Boston newspaper of that period, but no library seems to have any publication of the desired time. No estate appears in the Probate Office. No evi- dence can be given to settle the question.

Perhaps no such son. Wymau's Charlestown pre- sents the possibility theoretically, but errs in suggesting that the Thomas who ni. Kebecca Tufts was of this family. There may have been such a son, or the Thomas born 1751 may have DESCEXDAXTS OF WILLIAM MAXXING. 179 lived to mauliood. If so, his history is unknown. A Thomas ■svho was in Charlestown in 1797 (town records, IX-423) is of unlearned identity. He had a family; names unknown. At Salem, 1777, Aug. 11, one Thomas Manning, a mariner, m. Mrs. Anstice (Chipman) Richardson, who was bap. 1754, Nov. 17. This Thomas d. about 1780, and his widow d. 1821, Apr. 25. Ch. : Thomas Manning, Jr., who d. 1799, Apr. 11, in his 21st year. The late Jlev. Richard Manning Chipman wrote the compiler that he attended Mrs. Anstice Manning's funeral, and well remembered the statement of those present that her late husband was of other lineage than the Salem-Ipswich Manning family, and that he (Thomas) had come to Salem from a place near Boston. Possibly the connection is at this point. No opinion will be ventured. 88.

EPHRAIM5 MANNING (Ephraim," Saml.,3 ^y^.^a Wm.^) b. 1730, Aug. 7, at Woodstock, Ct., where he always re- sided. He had a long and prominent record as a Revolutionary soldier. On receipt of the news of the battle of Lexington six companies marched from Woodstock to Boston, and of these he was captain of the 2d Co. This service was short, but was fol- lowed by another term, 1775, May 1 to Dec. 19, as captain of the 7th Co., 3d Regt., of which Israel Putnam was colonel, uriug which he was in the battle of Bunker Hill. In 1776 he was a captain under Col. John Durkee. This regiment was in the bat- tle of Trenton, and, in part, at Princeton. He '' re-entered ser- vice in 1777," but how much longer he served does not appear. He was at one time in Washington's Guards, under Col. Benedict Arnold. In 1774 he was elected on the patriotic Committee of Inspection, and, 1780, was on a committee to engage men to serve DESCEXDAXTS OF WILLIAM MANXIXG. 181 in the Contineutftl army. He was grand juror, 1778; town col- lector, 1787; and selectman, 3 years, 1782-4. lie and bis wife joined the Woodstock church in 1757, Barber's Historical Collec- tions of Ct., page 505, states that the Trumbull Galleiy, at Xew Haven, has a portrait of " Capt.

WILLIAM^ MANNING (Ephraim," Saml.,3 Wni.,2 Wm.i) b. 1733, Nov. 28, at Woodstock, Ct., where he always lived except for a brief residence at Middletowu. He was, how- ever, often away to serve bis country as a soldier, being engaged in both the French-aud-Indian and the Revolutionary wars. He was sergeant in Capt. Israel Putnam's co. 1755, Nov. 25, to 1756, May 30, wlicu this command was a part of the force in garrison at Fort Edward ; and he immediately served another term, in 1756, of 5 mouths. 3 weeks and 5 days under Capt. Samuel Gay- lord. The exact dates do not appear. In this service be was again sergeant. On the alarm following the capture of Fort AN illiam Henry by Montcalm, in 1757, four companies marched 182 THE MANNING FA3IILY. from Wiudham, and he was lieutenant under Capt. John Carpenter, of AVoodstoek. Family tradition is to the effect that he " served through the war " of the Revolution, and Ammidoioi's Historical Collections states that he served 6 years without returning home. He was promoted to the rank of captain, his commission being signed by John Hancock. All of his service may not be recorded, and not all that is on record relating to the several "William Man- nings of his time can be identified, but the following cases posi- tively relate to him. 1st, he was first lieutenant under Col. Andrew Ward in a regt. raised 1776, to serve one year from May 4. This command joined Washington's army at New York in August ; was stationed first at Fort Lee ; thence went to White Plains; thence to N. J. and fought at the battles of Trenton, 1776, Dec. 25, and Princeton, 1777, Jan. 3, and encamped with Washington at Morristowu until expiration of term of service. 2d, having been commissioned captain, Jan., 1777, under Col. Charles Webb, 2d regt., which assembled at Danbury in April, but soon went into camp at Peekskill ; was under Gen. Israel Put- nam along the Hudson in the summer and fall; ordered 14 Nov. to Washington's army in Penn. ; at battle of Whitemarsh, Dec. 8 ; wintered at Valley Forge, and, Jul}^ 28, after, was at the bat- tle of Monmouth. Although it is almost exclusively as a soldier that we are able to trace Capt. Manning's career, his natural tastes were not for war, and his long service was inspired purely by patriotic devotion to his country. In private life he was a farmer residing first on the Paysou farm, and then on one which adjoined it. He m. at Woodstock, 1759, Jan. 4, Mrs. Mary (Johnson) Payson, widow of Asa Payson and dau. of [A. J.?] and Eliza- beth Johnson, of Middletown, b. 1736, Sep. 27. In 1764, May 3, William Manning and his wife, " both of 3Iiddletown," admin- istrators of Asa Payson's estate, sold, etc., as is shown by Wood- stock deed, 3-322. Capt. Manning d. 1807, Sep. 18; Mary, his widow, d. 1812, Nov. 27, both at Woodstock, where they are buried in the " Hill " cemetery. Ch., b. at Woodstock : 312. Sakah, b. 1759, June 5. 313.

He lived iu the house built by his father, ou the farm which was in Tewksbury after the latter town was formed iu 17o4 ; but was probabl}' also a carpen- ter, as he is termed " shop joj^ier " in a deed of 1791. Besides the laud received from his father (one-half of the farm), he bought no real estate, unless the deed failed to be recorded. He sold H acres in 1791 for £8.8. Was executor of his father's will. Of his own estate there is no record in the Probate Office, and it seems likely that, by deeds never recorded, he conveyed his farm in part to his son Samuel, and in parttoEliphalet, Jr., both of whom lived in TcAvksbur}' and who sold more land than they purchased. He m. (intention of m. 1740, Dec. 28, at Lynn) Hannah Aborn, bap. 1718-19, Feb. 8.

THOMAS^ MANNING (Eliphalet,^ Saml.,3 ^Vm.,^ Wm.') b. 1718, June 11, at Billerica. He probabl}' had land by unrecorded deed of gift from his father, for tradition says " he erected a house on the same farm occupied by his father " in Tewlisbury, but on the right of the road leading to Wilmnigton. "The cellar excavation of this house is just over the line between these towns, and in the latter, as the dividing line now runs." Latt-r, lie built the old '"Thomas Manning house," now standing some 500 yards distant from the main road. He and his son of the same name raised hops each year ; the place long remaining the family home. He bought, 1 753, for £27, laud in Wilmington, "joining to the Tewksbury line," 20 acres. He or his heirs con- veyed his farm to his son ; deed not recorded. No will or parti- tion of his estate on record. He and his wife united with the church 1744, Sep. 2.

By the Avill of his grandfather Manning he became owner of one-half of the latter's farm, including the buildings tliereon. He was joint executor of said will. He was elected fence-viewer, 1745; highway surveyor, 17.54; tithingman, 1747, '53, '55, and '65 ; and was grand juror, 1762. He and his wife were members of the Scotland church.

Resided in his native town as a farmer, having received half of his grandfather Manning's farm by the hitter's will. Elected tithingman, 1745-6 ; assessor. 1754-5; grand juror, 1747, '53; constable and collector of town rate, 1758 ; first constable and collector of the Colony- tax 8 years, 1759-66; highway surveyor many years; surveyor and packer of tobacco, 1760-2, '65; deputy, or representative, from Windham 6 times, Oct., 1764, to Oct., 1767 (except Oct., '65, and May, '66) and May, 1769 ; and justice of the peace 1767 to 1780. He was on a committee to divide the Society into proper school districts, 1758, and a committee, alone, to go before the General Assembly, 1771, concerning a bridge over Shetucket river. He was administrator of the estates of several fellow citi- zens. Before and during the Revolution he was of prominence among the patriots. In 1767 he was on a committee to draw up an act of " economy & industr}^" and outline a stand against the importation of foreign-made goods ; an echo of the revolt against the oppressive British stamp act. In 1774 he was on the commit- tee of Correspondence. Such a committee existed in each town, and members must be of earnest patriotism, sagacity and fidelity, for they were the links in the chain of preparation for the war. He was also moderator of several special town meetings, and, 1781 to '84, on a committee to examine into the state of the taxes and accounts of the town, and to adjust the accounts between the town and soldiers. He m. 1745, Sep. 22, Mary Webb, b. 1725, Dec. 23; united with the church, 1753; d. 1785, Dec. 20; and (2d), Anna, her sister, b. 1728, June 13, and d. 1804, in Jan.

SAMUEL6 MANNING(Saml.,5 Saml.,^ Saml.,3Wm.,2 Wm.^) b. 1725, Oct. 22, at Wiudham, Ct. He early removed to the S. W. part of the State. "Came from Wiudham to Stratford, Nov. 25, 1743," says the record in his own writing. In 1748, Dec. 1, he bought, says the town record of deeds, " a small piece of land in Stratford a little distant from ye ferry commonly called Hawkins' Ferry, lying ou both sides of ye brook called Torry's [or ?Porry's] Brook, at a place called Spruce." This ferry was really " over Stratford river at Derby." A little later he bought " in Stratford at ye north end of a place commonly called Oequan- quage Plain, and in the Parish of Preston." Despite the fact that he was 50 years of age when the Revolution began it seems safe to believe he was the soldier who served 6 days in April, 1775, under Capt. Abraham Mead, and again, 1775, Ma}' 10 to Dec. 5, under Capt. Thomas Hobby and Col. David "VVaterbury ; 3d Co. of the 5th Regt. Both of these commands were recruited in that immediate vicinity. His son of the same name served later, but as the son was only 12 years old in 1775, it is almost certain that the soldier of the latter date was the father. In 1783, Feb. 3, he was the administrator of the estate of the aforesaid son, and he *' personally appeared" in the Stratford Court to render the in- ventory, 1785, Sep. 5. He had also been administrator of the es- tate of John Blackman in 1760. His home was included in that part of Stratford which was set off in 1789 to form the new town of Huntington, and there he continued to reside. In 1793, Dec. 9, he sold a house '• with fruit trees around it" to Samuel Barlow, and, 1796, Apr. 8, sold to Elisha Mills about one acre " situated in the center of Huntington," which probably closed out his estate. After the date last mentioned no sign of him has been found. In the history of Stratford appears a list of the gravestones in the two above towns, but none is included of Samuel or any member of his family. Probably, however, he died and was buried in Hun- tington. He m. 1749, Jan. 26, Abigail Clark, who d. 1758, Sep. 3, perhaps dau. of John Clark, " 2d," and, if so, b. 1728, Apr. 30; and (2d) 1759, Aug. 2, Eunice Frink, of unknown ancestry. The Huntington church book has this entry: "Jan. 19, 1829, DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MAXXIXG. 191 Died Mrs. ^Manning aged 95." It is believed that this was surely Eluuice, widow of 8amuel ]\Ianiiiug. The children were boru at Stratford. Ch . of Samuel and Abigail Manning : 386. Samlel, b. 17-i9, Dec. 13; d. 1759, Feb. 3. 387. Jerusha, b. 1751, Oct. 16; not traced. In 1783, on the settlement of the estate of her half-brother Samnel, the proceeds were equall.v divided between Samuel's full brother and sister, Elias and Eunice. Tlie laws of Connecticut of that day, relating to the matter of inheritance, are unknown to tlie compiler. If, under these laws, Elias and Eunice were Samuel's legal heirs, would not his half-sisters, Jerusha and Sarah, have been co- heirs? The absence of their names at that time leads to the presumption that they were deceased; but, on the other hand, the father of these children kept a record, put down the birth of all his children, and the death of some. It would seem that, if Jerusha and Sarah had died before him, he would have re- corded their decease, too ; yet he omitted that of his son Joseph below. 388. Sakah, b. 1756, Sep. 2.

Samtkl, b. 1763, Mch. 22. A Revolutionary soldier. When less than 15 years old he enlisted, 1778, Feb. 1, " for the war," un- der Capt. Samuel Granger and Col. Charles Webb, 2dregt., Ct. Line, and, later, under Capt. Roger Wells, in a Co. of Light Infantry; was at the battle of Monmouth, 1778, June 28; win- tered at Redding; served on E. side of the Hudson under Gen.

His father was appointed admr. of his estate, 1783, Feb. 3, which con- sisted of seven State notes which, Avith accrued interest, made the total valuation £83.3.8. The amount was reduced by "ex- pense in sickness and clotliing while in service " to £55. This sum was equally divided between his sister Eunice and brother Elias. 391. EfNici;, b. 1765, Apr. 3; m.

He was in Sharon, of that State, in 1751, at which time he married there, and again in 1768, but his whereabouts between these dates is uncertain. The town records of Sharon do not have the birth of any of his children, nor the church records any baptisms thereof before 1768 ; neither is any deed found to show that he owned a farm in that town. A possible explanation is that he lived on land belonging to his father-in-law, David Hamilton, who was an extensive land- owner, and that the absence of birth-records was merely due to neglect. It is possible that he resided elsewhere than in Sharon for a time after his marriage. His wife's family were originally from Lebanon, a town lying next to Windham. It is likely that the young couple were acquainted in their extreme youth, and that David went to Sharon to marry one to whom he was already be- trothed. He may then have settled elsewhere, or, as before sug- gested, on a part of Mr. Hamilton's land, as lessee. Extensive investigation has failed to settle this question. In 1758, in the French and Indian war, David was a soldier under Capt. Samuel Elmer [Elmore?], with the Conn, troops, from June 3 to Oct. 27. He may have been the David Manning who served under Capt. Samuel Elmore in the Revolutionary war, though it has been in- ferred that the latter service was rendered by his son of the same name (who was certainly a soldier of the Revolution). David m. at Sharon, 1751, Aug. 1, Anne, dau. of David Hamilton, formerly of Lebanon, and a man of prominence at Sharon. By will, 1780, the latter gave " to the heirs of my daughter Anne ]\Ianning 30 acres of land in my right at ye Susquehannah." After Anne's death David m.

David resided at Sharon for several years following 1768. Later, it is said, he lived for a time in Massachusetts ; then, about 1794, he certainly removed to Lisle, Broome Co., N. Y., where he d. 1807, Sep. 29. Buried in " the Yorkshire Manningville ceme- tery." The order of birth of his ch. is not tnWy known.

He was a Colonial soldier in 1761, from Apr. 1 to Dec. 4, under Capt. John Spaulding, 1st Regt., Gen. Lyman. He was a farmer, having acquired a part of his father's farm, witli the house and barn. He was elected tithingman 1759-62, '65 ; packer of meat, 1753-4. '58-07, or 12 years, and packer of tobacco, 1763-4. When he and his wife died has not been found, but a deed shows tiiat his decease was before 1779, May^ 22.

After his seventh j^ear he always resided at "Wiudham, Ct. His father deeded to him, 1749-50, Feb. 1, for " the sum of thirty five pound in Bills of Publick Credit of the old tenor," a tract of land which was a part of the father's farm, and adjoining the farm of John's pater- nal grandfather. In 1760, when his father's estate was settled, he purchased of the other heirs for " Eighty one pound seven shil- lings Lawf uU money " a part of the old farm, and other like pur- •chases followed until he liecame owner of nearly all the place. He built a large house on the east side of Merrick's brook. It is still standing, in the N. W. corner of the southerly road from Wind- ham and the road from Scotland to Norwich, about ^ mile S. of the church. He also built a saw-mill and a grist-mill ; these are not now in use. He also bought largely of others, the land being in Wiudham. When the so-called " Susquehanna purchase " of land in Pennsylvania was made of the Indians by Connecticut men, previous to the settlement of that region, he was one of the original proprietors. One-half of his share he sold as early as 1774, and the remainder was sold 1794, Dec. 29, by his widow to their son Seabury. At Windham he was elected tithiugman in 1749; highway surveyor, 1750, '60 ; collector of town rate, 1766-7, and was grand juror, 1758-60, '64. He left no will. After his death his sons Seabury and Gamaliel became joint owners of the farm, and on the decease of the last survivor of the two, in 1851, the heirs sold the property. It had been in the possession of the fam- ily for about 120 years, and, probably, a part of it even longer.

He was chiefly reared at Windham, Ct., and, on reaching manhood, settled at Norwich Town. A stone mason b^' trade. Despite the fact that he was then not young in years it is next to absolutely certain that he was the Revolutionary soldier of the same name who served 1775, from July 22 to Nov. 27, under Capt. Asa Kingsbury and Col. Jedediah Huntington, in the 1st Co. and 8th Conn. Regt. This command was "stationed on the Sound " until 14 Sep. ; then ordered to the Boston camps and took part at Roxbury. There seems to be no doubt that the soldier was this Samuel, for there is no other known Samuel who could possibly have served thus. His son Uiah was in the same compau}'. In 1750 Samuel bought 40 rods of land on "the highway to the Burying Place," and erected a house there. His widow and his two surviving ch. in- herited the place. The son was admr. of his estate.

He k DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 197 died in the spring of 1780. Thus far. information is official. Tradition, which did not mention his service on land, says he sailed from Norwich on a privateer and A\as never seen or heard from after passing New Loudon. lie was unmarried. 425. 13IA11, b. 1700. Aug. 24. 126. J0SIAH6 MANNING (John,^ Saml.,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1725, June 14, at Hopkintou, Mass., but was reared at Windham, Ct. In manhood he resided chiefly in the N. W. part of Norwich, though in the division of the latter town, in 1786, the section in which he lived was set off and incorporated as a new town under the name of Franklin. His home was near Manning's bridge over Shetucket river. By trade he was a stone-cutter, and he is reputed to have possessed peculiar skill in carving the "faces" so often found on headstones in burying grounds of his day. On the reverse side of his own headstone are these words : " This ^lonument I made in y"^ j'ear 1800 : in my 76''' year." From this it will be seen that he was the designer of his own gravestone. He was an earnest patriot, and over the front door of his dwelling- house he inserted a large, flat stone, said to have been of mica slate from the Bolton, Ct., quarry, upon which he placed an in- scription which has since made it historic. It was as follows : Liberty & Property Restored again In George y« II Pi!^ most Gracious reign Now Liberty & Property & no Excise iVfiS God Bless our Kings & keep them wise. Manning This is undoubtedly a true copy, though the only copy known to be in existence was made, not by one of the famil}', but by a neighbor; and the latter drew off the date as 1776. This must have been an error. Josiah is positively iiuown to have been a patriot, and, with the Revolutionary war under way, he would not have displayed such a sign, nor w'ould it have been allowed to re- main. Neither would it have been a logical echo of existing con- ditions. On the other hand, the unpopular Stamp Act passed the British Parliament 1765, Mcb. 22, and was repealed 1766, Mch. 18. Accept 1766 as the true date and the stonecutter's lines will be found to express clearly the feelings of a people who, in 1766, were Avilling to be loyal to the King if he wh)uU1 be just to them. Many years elapsed ; Josiah Manning and his children passed away and the house was owned by one not connected with the 198 THE MANXIXG FAMILY. family, but over the door the stone and its inscription remained. About 1860-62 Col. John Y. Manning, a grandson of Josiah, en- deavored to become possessor of the stone. He offered a sub- stantial sum of money therefor, and, in addition, to pay a carpenter for repairing any damage done to the house by removing the relic, and to make all as good as new, but the request was refused. It is alleged that the owner of the house remarked to others that he " guessed somebody would come along who would offer him more." About 1862 another gentleman tried to secure the stone, with the purpose of presenting it to the Conn. Historical Society, but with no better success. Some years later the building was destroyed by fire, and the stone is supposed to have suffered the same fate. Josiah Manning bought, 1748, Apr. 22, one-half an acre of land with a dwelling-house thereon, on the Norwich and Windham road, and, later, about 17 acres near his house. In 1863 Col. John Y. Manning, before mentioned, wrote of Josiah: " I have the great Bible that belonged to him ; the Bible that he studied ; that my mother read through in course some 72 times, and that Bible is cherished at the family altar every day and a light to our path." Josiah m. 1746,''Oct. 13, Mary, dan. of Sanniel and Leah (Rip- ley) Cook, b. 1729, July 25 ; d. 1796, Nov. 28, at Franklin. Leah Eipley, above mentioned, was a daughter of Joshua and Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, and this Hannah was daughter of Deputy Gov. "William Bradford, and granddau. of Gov. William Bradford, who came to this country in the Mayflower, in 1620, and was long the leader and ruling spirit of the party by whom civilization was established in New England. Josiah Manning d. 1806, Dec. 16, at Windham, at the home of his son Frederick. Of the large family of ch. dates of birth are mostly lacking, and the order of birth is not fully known.

PHINEAS6 MANNING (John,^ Saml.,"* Saml.,3 Wni.,- Win.i) b. 1727, Mch. 3, at Hopkiuton, Mass. He was reared at "Wiudham, Ct., where lie ni. and resided some years after. In 1760 he removed to Stafford, where. Nov. 28, he bought hind of Miles Standish and wife Hannah. He was a Colonial soldier iu tbe French-and-Indian war. He enlisted under Capt. Benj. Lee and Col. Elisha Williams 1746, June 16, and continued by suc- cessive bi-monthly enlistments until 1747, Oct. 25, when the regi- ment probably disbanded. It was intended for an expedition against Canada, and was to accompany certain English troops, but, as the latter failed to come, the expedition did not go out of the Colonies, though the troops lay under arms, ready to go. In 1755 Phineas served from Sep. 1 to Nov. 3 under Capt. Eliphalet Dyer, and, in 1756, from Apr. 9 to Oct. 16, under Capt. .lohn Paysou. He also appears as a member of Capt. Wolcott's co. iu a pay abstract for 1761, when there was due him £8.1.1, indicating 200 THE MANNING FAMILY. a long service, but dates in this case have not been found. In the Revolution he again enlisted. In this war he was under Capt. Amos Walbridge, in the 2d Ct. regt.. Col. Charles Webb (after- wards, Col. Zebulon Butler). Phineas enlisted 1777, Jan. 29, for 3 years; mustered out 1780, Jan. 25. His command served sum- mer and fall of 1777 under Gen. Putnam along the Hudson; or- dered 14 Nov. to join Washington's army in Penn. ; wintered at Valley Forge, '77-78; was at the battle of Monmouth, 1778, July 28, etc. Family tradition says that, in his old age, he lived at Hoosick, N. Y., with his daughter Mrs. Beaman, and d. there or soon after returning to Stafford, but was buried at Statford. Search at the latter place fails to reveal any gravestone inscribed to a Manning, but the old burying ground is iu deplorable condi- tion, or was when the search was made. Also, at that time, there was no grantor index to the town deeds, and time was lacking in which to tiace, by other means, tlie sale of his farm. It may be noted here that Phineas, himself a soldier of two wars, had four sons who served in the Revolution, at least one grandson iu the war of 1812, and many descendants who were veterans of the Rebellion. He m. Sarah Hendee, ancestry unknown, who d. 1750, Apr. 30; and (2d) 1751, Jan. 22, Sarah Walbridge, who united with the church, 1753. Her parentage is unknown, but Thomas and Mary (Knight) Walbridge, of Norwich and Stafford, had a dan. Sarah b. 1727, Aug. 8, at Norwich; perhaps the same. Where Phineas and his wife really died and were buried cannot be told positively, as investigation has brought no definite informa- tion. Cli. of Phineas and Sa7-ah {Hendee) Manning : 442.

W. part of the town, where NathanienVright (who had married John's half-sister, Martha "\Vinshi[)) had previ- ousl}' located. John was a soldier. 1755, Apr. 9 to Nov. G, under Capt. Beuj. Ballard and Col. Timothy Ruggles, in the first Crown 202 THE MAXXIXG FAMILY. Point expeditiou. Tliis regiment was in the battle of Lake George, Sep. 8, when the French commander, General Dieskau, was de- feated by Gen. Lyman ; a severe engagement in which the regi- ment suffered heavily but won renown. He re-enlisted under the same captain, and in this service was a corporal. He may have served later terms. In 17G7 he became of unsound mind, and on application by the selectmen of the town to the Probate Judge, Nov. 12, Nathaniel Wright was appointed as his guardian. He was not violent, and was subjected to little or no restraint, but the guardianship was to protect his estate. He made " several thous- and of brick " in 1768, and spent more or less time at Cambridge in 1768, '69, '70, and '71. It is possible that he was at the latter place throughout these years, but he returned to Lancaster in 1771. Of the closing years of his life we know nothing. He was a farmer, and had a shop on his land where he also carried on the trade of a saddler. He d. at Lancaster, 1780, Feb. 23. He bought, 1760, May 29, for £3.4, land '' near the clay pits" on the Leominster road, 5 acres and 126 rods. This deed was not re- corded until 1801, at which time grantor, grantee and witnesses were all deceased, and its authenticity was proved by the sworn testimony of others. His wife received If acres of land by the will of her father, adding to the homestead. The heirs sold the real estate, 1801, June 18, to Joel Osgood. Later transfers were, 1802, Apr. 16, to Daniel Lawton ; 1809, Apr. 3. to Artemas Lawton; 1814, Aug. 15, to Samuel AVilder, Jr.; 1821, Mch. 31, to Jonas Lane; 1835, Apr. 7, to Rebecca Houghton, "single woman." Later she m. Newton Burpee, and by her will, filed 1871, Aug. 22, she left the use of her property to her brother, Foster Houghton, during his life, after which it was to descend to her husband's children. These transfers are of the house and con- tiguous land ; four acres had been otherwise sold in 1811. On the appointment of the guardian in 1767 John's real and personal property was appraised at £83.10.6, but there was no formal set- tlement of the estate until the death of his son of the same name (who probably had occupied the homestead), when the two estates were settled, and in a manner not a little peiplexing to one who would now separate the property of father, son and mother. John m. 1753, Apr. 28, Prudence Houghton, b. 1734-5, Feb. 7; d. 1793, Oct. 23, of typhus fever. Her estate was inventoried at £152.12.1. Of this sum £69 represented the house, shop and barn.

Mass., where he resided until after 1747; removed to Roxbury, and lived there until after 1754. He was elected hayward at Cambridge in 1747, and the same year, Sep. 27, owned the covenant. He was, it is said, a soldier of the French-and-Indian war, perhaps about 1758, but the particulars of the service have not been learned. (See Paige's History of Cambridge, page 405.) He m. 1745, Dec. 4, Patience Day, '• of Boston." Her ancestry is unknown ; possibly she was the same Patience, dau. of John and Patience (Bird) Day, b. 1729, July 11, at Dorchester. After 1754 nothing definite can be said of Edward and his family. At Boston, 1759, about Ma}- 6 (date of intention) Casper Feiler [Fielder?] m. one Patience INIan- ning. Possibly Edward had died and this Patience was his widow. At Newport, R. L, 1765, P^eb. 26, a daughter Mary Clannan was born to somebody named P>dward and Patience Manning. The latter combination of names is not common. The Avriter believes this couple to have been our Edward and Patience, but he fails to find more of them at Newport. The occurrence of the names there is the more striking because certain of Edward's cousins went to Providence about that time. Perhaps, if living, he returned to Mass. Perhaps, too, he was the Edward jManning who figured 204 THE MANNING FAMILY. in the Revolution (see sl^etch of his son, below). In 1778, Feb. 3, there was owing to the estate of his father, Edward,^ £28.9.2 from " Edward Manning, Jr." It is true that if Edward^ was de- ceased this name would apply as well to his son Edward", but the compiler prefers to believe that the reference was to the subject of this sketch. To sum up, we have our choice of believing that he died comparatively young, leaving 4 children, and that his widow then m. Casper Fielder, or, as seems more likely, that he was living as late as 1780. If he was then in Boston the miser- ably sparse records do not show it, but hundreds of persons were born there, and lived there, in his day, without appearing on the records. On the other hand, Edward may have resided in Rhode Island, or some other State. Wide and careful search has left the mystery of his later career unsolved. Ch. : 476.

Edward, bap. 1754, July 14, at Roxbury. It canuot be positively said that anything more is known of him. but the compiler does not doubt that he was tlie same Edward Manning", Revolution- ary soldier, who served 8 months, in 1775, in Capt. Edward Craft's CO. in Col. Richard Gridley's regt. of artillery. In the N. E. Historic- Genealor/ical Bpriistcr, Vols. 30 and 31, is the diary of one of the crew of brigantine " Rising States," which was captured by the British, 1777, Apr. 15, and the crew taken, June 14, to Forton Prison. Of this party somebody named Edward Manning was one. He and 16 others escaped Mch. 7, but were retaken. He again escaped; went to London; was seized by a press-gang and taken to a Britisli ship; sent back to Forton Prison Apr. 20, and put in the *' Black Hole " as pun- ishment; kept there until May 19, when he was sent to the hospital, from which he was discharged June 6. His after his- tory does not appear. Probably this was our Edward, or, per- haps, his father. The author of the diary often calls him " Mr." Manning. The title would seem an excess of politeness, under the circumstances, if applied to a man of 23 years, but, on the other hand, his adventurous escapes more befit a young man than one of 53. At Boston, 1779, Nov. 18, one Edward Manning married Patience Flagg. The compiler believes that all these items refer to the Edward of this sketch, but has no proof to that efl'ect. No more has l)een learned of him, long search being fruitless. In 1791, in probate proceedings relat- ing to John Manning [157], who was Edward's uncle, Benjamin Hill [see 162] states " that he is nephew and the nearest relation DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 205 of John Manning," but this does not prove that Edward was not living. He may have been residing at a distance. 4S0. ? Maky Claxxan, b. 17fio, Feb. 26, at Newport. Perhaps not of this faniilj'. See her supposed father's sl^etch. 167. SAMUP:L6 manning (Wm.,5 John,-! Sanil.,3 Win.,2 Wm.i) b. 1729, Aug. 26, at Cambridge, Mass. He inherited his father's homestead, and always lived there, in the same house. A cordwainer by occupation. He was elected warden, 1777, '84; sealer of weights and measures, 1789 ; juryman, 1791, '99 ; hayward, 1792, and sealer of leather, 1778, '79, '81-96, '98, 1801-2, a total of 21 years. Family tradition says he was a Revolutionary soldier and fought at Bunker Hill. The rolls of that war contain service under the name of Samuel Manning which the present writer, from want of proper data, is unable to allot with any certainty. How much of this service belongs to the subject of this sketch is unknown, but it may be accepted as certain that he was the Samuel whose name appears in a " list of men that served in the Canadian expe- dition, credited to the town of Cambridge." His brother William was in the same list. Samuel was a member of a jury in a cele- brated case, 1778, June 18. After Burgoyne's surrender his soldiers were taken to Cambridge and vicinity as prisoners. The men were placed in barracks, but quarters were found for the officers in pri- vate families. Orders were given that no one should pass the patriot lines without a passport. A British officer tempted fate and defied a sentinel to his sorrow. The above jury may tell the story of their findings in their own language. The jury " upon their oath do say, that the said Richard Brown was shot with a fire-arm by the centinel in Charlestown, near Prospect-Hill, be- tween the hours of five and six, P. M. on the 17th day of June, A. D. 1778, in attempting to pass the centinel with two women, after being properly challenged by said centinel — and so came to his death." Here the responsibilit}' of the jury ended ; the proper authorities attended to additional details. Samuel was prosperous financially, and loaned money on mortgages extensively ; and was also a considerable purchaser of land. He owned the covenant in 1777. Had. 1824, Apr. 3, in his 95th year, and it is a tradition that his life was ended by accidentally inhaling gas from a char- coal stove. His property was sold for S26,.')17. By will he di- vided his possessions equall}- among the children of his deceased son Samuel, except that the eldest, having already received a col- 206 THE 3IANXIXG FAMILY. lege education, was to have $500 less than the others. At the age of 47 he m., 1777, Aug. 2, Mary Woods, who d. 1788, Oct. 15, in her 51st year; and (2d) 1791, Dee. 29, Sarah Woods, who d. 1812, Apr. 16, aged 72. Their parentage is in doubt. Middlesex deeds, 113-390 and 113-391, though obscure, point to the proba- bilit}^ that Sarah was related to Aaron and Lemuel Woods of Groton, and that she was the same Sarah, dau. of Aaron and Sarah (Boynton) Woods, b. 1739-40, Jan. 30, at Groton. It is probable, too, that Mary, the first wife, was a native of Groton, but of two Mary Woods born there at about the same time, the compiler is iinable to learn which, if either, was she. Samuel Manning and his wives are buried in the old cemetery by Harvard sq. He had but one child : 481. Samuel, b. 1778, May 28, at Cambridge. 168. JOSEPH^ MANNING (Wm.,5 John,"! Saml.,3 Wm.,^ Wm.M b. 1730-1, Jan. 26, at Cambridge, Mass. He entered Har- vard College and graduated in 1751. He early removed to Prov- idence, R. I. In 1770, Oct., liis name appears as one of the incorporators of the Benevolent Congregational Society, for the raising of funds, etc, for the " support of public worship in the Congregational Society of Providence of which Rev. David Shear- man Rowland is at present minister." His wife died in Providence in 1797, and it is possible that his home was there until after that date. He was in Bath, Me., in 1806 when, Mch. 25, he appointed his son William attorne}^ to appear for him " in any affair," and especially in matters wherein Joseph was heir to the estate of his younger brother (William^), deceased. Not long after he removed to Boston, Mass. Paige's History of Cambridge says that Joseph "was a clergyman, and chaplain in the Contiuental Army." It is greatly to be regretted that Mr. Paige did not give details of his career. The compiler has made extensive and prolonged search in old newspapers, histories and records to supply the omission, but without success. Mr. Manning d. 1808, Mch. 26, at Boston. Local newspapers record his death. The Gazette^ in its obituar}' column, says : " On Saturday last, Mr. Joseph Manning, former!}^ of Providence, iEt 78. His funeral will proceed from his sou's house. No. 24 Federal-street, tomorrow afternoon, at half-past 4 o'clock, which his relations and friends are requested to attend." The Pal- ladmm and the Chronicle each has the same notice, word for word.

WILLIAMS MANNING (Wm.,5 John,^ Sanil.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1735, May 11, at Cambridge, Mass., where he always resided. He was elected clerk of the market, 1777-8, '94; war- den, 1778, '89 ; grand juryman, 1790. In 1779, and perhaps many years longer, he was a member of the engine company. He was a Revolutionary soldier under Capt. Samuel Thatcher and Col. Gardner, and, at another time, was one of a list of men that served in the " expedition to Canada, credited to Cambridge." The re- turn of this list bears date of July, 1776. A cordwainer by occu- pation. He bought, 1778, Oct. 22, "for 1000 Spanish milled dollars," 108 rods and 272 links of land iu Cambridge which was bounded E. and S. by the land of Harvard College. This prop- erty his heirs sold in 1806 to Harvard for ^5,400. He owned other land, buying and selling in several cases, and held 3 lots at his decease. He several times loaned money on mortgage. He died intestate, and his heirs (namel3% his widow, his brothers Sam- uel and Joseph, his sisters Mary and Sarah, and his niece Rebecca Pratt) received $3,910.91 in the division of the estate. This was in part, and doubtless wholly, exclusive of the $6,346 received by the sale of three lots of land in 1806, placing the total of his es- tate at $10,256.91.

SAMUEL6 MANNING(Saml.,5 John,'' Saml.,3 Wm.,2 \Ym.') b. 1732, Mch. 15, at Townsend, Mass. He was executor of his father's will, and had the latter's farm, upon which he there- after lived in his native town. He was elected "informer of deer'' (that is, to see that the laws for the protection of these animals were not violated) 1763, '65, '67, '70 ; tithingman, 1768, '78, '80; constable, 1774; one of a committee to " reckon" with the town treasurer, 1774-7, '82; highway surveyor, 1780, '90; warden, 1785; juryman, 1778, '90. He was on committees as follows : To " seat the meeting house," 1780; to report upon the question of schools and the mmister's salary, 1780; to rebuild bridges, 1782 ; to select a site for a new school-house, 1789 ; to set up milestones on the county road. 1796. His name appears on the Colonial Rolls as one of Capt. Jolni Stevens' foot-company, of Townsend, who received bayonets from the Colony in 1759. This shows that the company was put in readiness for service in the French and Indian war, but if he and his command entered active service the fact has not been learned. No more has been found on the Rolls. He was prominent and active during the Revolutionary war. In 1776, '77 and '78 he was a member of the Committee of Correspondence, Inspection and Safety. Members of these committees, of which there was one in each town, were necessarily men of courage, sa- gacity and unquestionable loj^alty to the patriot cause. " They were, in fact," says a historical writer, " the directors and mana- gers of the great political drama." It was their duty to exchange DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 209 information, suggestions and reports ; to know tbe opinions of other citizens and guard against harm from tliose who were of Tory proclivities, and, in brief, to upbuild and protect the cause of the patriots in the struggle for freedom. In 1776 the question was submitted to the several towns whether they were willing that the House of Representatives and Council, then existing, should frame a form of government for the State. Townsend selected Lieut. James Lock, Samuel Manning and Maj. Henry Price as a committee to deliberate upon the question carefully before the town voted upon it, and their report, duly made, was approved and in- dorsed by the town. The complications attending the question made action a matter of delicacy and grave concern. In 1777 Sam- uel was on a committee to fix the rate of pay of soldiers in the war. In the same year, on a committee "to prosecute all breaches of the late act of Court for the regulating prices of Sundry arti- cles for the Support of life and trade." In 1779, on a committee " to draw up some Resolves suitable for the town to pass" regard- ing the price of " the Necessaries of life and articles of trade." In the same year, on a committee " to Advise Avith and Instruct " the town's delegate to the Constitutional Convention " with regard to the outlines of a form of Government." Samuel bought and sold land considerably, evidently in speculation, as he continued to hold and reside on the old homestead. In 1794 he conveyed to his son William, for £136, " one full half in partnership " with himself of his lands in Townsend. In 1802 he conveyed to William " one full half of the land I now hold in joint partnership with him, the said William Manning," 188 acres, " meaning hereby to convey my part of said farm." The financial consideration, as given in the deed, was $1250. If this was an actual sale Samuel must soon have given away his money, for, on his death 7 years later, no estate appears in the Probate Office. He united with the Orthodox church, 1764, Jan. 22, as did his wife 1763, Oct. 2. He m.

WILLIAMS MANNING(Wm.,5Wm., 4 Saml.,3Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1747, May 21, at Billerica, Mass. He resided in his native town, aud purchasing, in 1777, the rights of his sister and his three brothers (for £40 each), acquired his father's farm, the historic old Manning place. There he passed his whole afterlife, cultivating the farm and, also, succeeding his father as landlord of the Manning Tavern. A soldier of the Revolution. He w^as sergeant in a company which marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. Solomon Pollard and Col. Greene. He was with his company in camp at Cambridge, May 1. In 1776, May 31, he was commissioned 2d Lieutenant in Capt, Solo- mon Kidder's co., of Col. Simeon Spauldiug's 7thRegt., and was in the battle of Bunker Hill and subsequent siege of Boston. The DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM .AlANNLNG. 213 duration of his service does not appear. At Billeriea be was elected highway surveyor iu 1775, and selectman, 1785-6. He bought 66 acres of laud iu Ashby iu 1789, but sold the same in 1790. At various times he sold lots, in Billeriea, chiefly between 1791 and '99, the total being about 76 acres, of which 8 acres was to his son William. This was iu 1798. In 1807 he conveyed to William " one-half of my farm and all buildings thereon," 130 acres, which shows the area of the farm. After his death, how- ever, only about 74 acres appear in the inventory. This was ap- praised at S458.87, and his personal estate at $102.52. This gives no idea of his actual financial standing, because of the fact that he had previously parted with such a large part of his possessions. He left no will. His eldest son was administrator. He and his wife united with the Billeiica church 1769, June 4. Lt. Manning m. 1769, Mch. 21, Sarah, dau. of Nathaniel and Sarah (Wyman) Heywood, of Woburu, Mass., and Amherst, N.

Both are buried in the new cemetery at Billeriea, and grouped near them lie their children, William, Jephthah, Roxa, Luna, Sarah, Lucretia, Jerusha and Lucinda. The old homestead remained in the posses- sion of these unmarried brothers and sisters while they lived, add- ing year after year to the second century that it had been in the family, while old age fell heavily upon the house, and one by one the brothers and sisters passed away. By will of Miss Lucinda, the last survivor, the house and remaining land was left to trustees who were to devote the annual income to religious instruction in the district in which the property was located.

JONATHANS MANNING (Wm.,5 Wm.,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1749, July 16, at Billerica, Mass. He early set- tled in Chelmsford, where he made extensive purchases of land; namely, 86 acres in 1774 (in three different deeds) ; 4 acres in 1784; 3^ acres in 1794; 40 acres in 1812, etc. At one time he was a tavern-keeper in Chelmsford, on the site of the present poor- house there. Tradition says he kept this tavern for 50 years, but this seems to be an exaggeration. Deeds, which are almost in- variably, and probably always, correct informants in such cases, call him a housewright in 1774 and 1784, and a yeoman (farmer) in 1788, 1794, and January, 1812, while a deed of 1812, Apr. 23, terms him an innkeeper, as do those of later date. Fi-om this it would seem he was first a carpenter, then a farmer, and, unless he for some time followed a double calling, with the keeping of the inn as a subordinate matter, that it was not until the spring of 1812 that he began with the tavern. On the rolls of the Revolu- tionary soldiers of New Hampshire ap[)ears, in Capt. Ebenezer Frye's co., 1777, Apr. 7, the name of Jonathan Manning, of Dunstable. The compiler knows of absolutely no other person of the name at that period, and, while it would hardly he expected, perhaps, that the Jonathan of this sketch would so soon leave his new lands in Chelmsford, no other theory presents itself than that, whether or not he went to Dunstable with a view of settling there, be enlisted there and was the soldier, but returned to Chelmsford afterwards. The inventor}' of his estate is not found, but in the application for administration, after his death, the estimate Avas made that his personal estate, alone, was $5,000.

Loammi Baldwin's regt., but how long he served does not appear. He settled in Chelmsford as a farmer, buying 89 acres there, of Joseph Marshall, 1776, Apr. 15, for £153.6.8. In 1795, on the organization of the Middlesex Canal enterprise, he sold land to the proprietors thereof for S28.75. His other land tran- sactions were few, and not of interest now.

A Revolu- tionary soldier; marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. Jonathan Stickuey and Col. Bridge. Duration of ser- vice unknown. Although deeds call him a yeoman in the last 10 years of his life, he was for at least 35 years a cordwainer. His account book for the years 1777-85 is in the custody of the Bil- lerica Historical Society. Some of the items and prices are : A pair of women's shoes. £1.18.0; men's shoes, £2.12.6 ; children's shoes, 15 shillings to £1.18.0 ; boots, £3.10.0 ; "pumps made the old way," £1. These items are in 1780-2, when Revolutionary troubles had affected the currency. He lived in Billerica until 1792, and perhaps later ; resided for a time at "Wilton, N. H., pre- vious to 1794, Feb. 19, on which date he bought land in Ashburn- ham, Mass., where he thereafter resided. In Billerica he purchased 1^ acres in 1777, and 11 acres in 1781, but sold the same before removing. At Ashburnham he bought oue acre, with a house, in 1794, and 5 acres in 1812. This land he conveyed to his son Samuel, 1832, June 13, and the latter sold it, the following year to his sister Alice.

He was a soldier of the Revolution, and one of those who marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 9, being in Capt. Solomon Pollard's co., of Col. Greene's regt. He was a cabinet-maker by trade, and a careful, conscientious workman ; but was also largely engaged as a farmer. In 1769 he purchased of the other heirs a part of the farm in Bil- lerica which had previously been his father's. He made other purchases in 1766, '76, '83, '85, '98 and 1806, this land all being in his native town; but sold Iiis holdings in 1806 and removed to Lyndeboro, N. H. At Billerica he held various offices, and was identified with other patriots in affairs relating to the Revolution. In 1774, at a town meeting to consider the burdens laid upon the Colonies by the British Government, he was elected one of a com- mittee to get citizens of the town to sign a " covenant" that they would not buy articles on which Parliament had placed an unjust tax. In 1779 he was on a committee "to see that the Resolves and Recommendations of the State & County Convention be punc- tually complyed with." In the same year he was on a committee 218 THE MANNING FAMILT. " to provide for the families of those persons that are Gone out of this town into the Continental Army." The exact date of his removal to Lyndeboro cannot be given. He and his son Asa jointly purchased there, 1806, Mch. 31, for S2,700, of John Orne, several tracts of land — 102 acres and buildings, 324^ acres, etc. Probably Asa went there at once, and, despite some perplexing evidence, it is believed that Jacob accompanied him. for the latter was certainly residing there 1807, Apr. 22. Mr. Manning and his brother Jesse had bought, 1773, Nov. 18, sixty acres of land in Wilton. He purchased the brother's interest in 1801, sold 10 acres in 1807, and the balance was sold by Asa in 1809. In Lyndeboro father and son occupied their farm together until Mr. Manning's death, 1808, July 16, by accident. Asa and his wife had gone on a visit, leaving their parents, their children Olive and Sarah, and the hired man at home. There was ha}^ in the field which Asa told the hired man not to get in, as he thought it would be dangerous to pass through an intervening rocky pasture, but Mr. Manning believed he and the man could manage it, and told the latter to hitch up the oxen. Before leaving he took his grandchildren in his arms to play with them, and when he put them down, said : " Grandpa would like to stay with you all the afternoon ;" and theu kissed them. In returning through the pasture he was thrown from the load of hay and killed. When he la}' in his coffin Olive was held up to look at him, and she exclaimed : " What shall we do for some one to pray, now grandpa is dead?" Asa Manning was ap- pointed administrator of the estate Oct. 16, and the inventorj'^ taken Nov. 22 by John Wellman, Jeremiah Carleton and John Carleton. The valuation was Si, 936.40, of which $621.65 was personal, and 81 ,314.75 real estate. The latter was of four items : First, one-half of the homestead farm, estimated to contain 100 acres, with buildings, $806.50; second, one half of another lot in Lyndeboro, 15 acres, S136.25 ; third, one-half of a third lot, 18 acres, $72, and a tract of 50 acres in Wilton, $300. In the same year, Aug. 15, Asa had paid his brother and two sisters $250 for the release of their rights to all of their father's estate except household furniture. Jacob Manning and his wife united with the Billerica church, 1764, Apr. 1, and were dismissed by letter to the like society in Lyndeboro, 1807, Nov. 15. They are buried in that town.

A soldier of the Revolution ; marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. Solomon Pollard, and was in Col. Green's regt. He was also on the Billeriea committee to provide supplies for the army. A farmer in his native town. After his fatiier's death he bought ■of the other heirs, 1769, Jan 18, a part of the paternal homestead, 75 acres ; and, also. 9| acres of woodland, for $136, He added, 1774, Apr. 30, forty-five rods to his acreage. He held several town ofHces. He and his wife united with the Billeriea church 1768, Aug. 7. He m. 1766, Dec. 2, Anne, dau. of John and Hannah Carletou. Her father came from Bradford and purchased, about 1759. the mill and privileges at North Billeriea. Of Anne's date of birth and further ancestry nothing has been learned. There was an Edward Carlton at Rowley, 1642, and his son John lived at Bradford. Perhaps he was an ancestor of Jolin of Billeriea. Anne, wife of Jesse Manning d. 1779, Jan. 2.s, and he m.

Abigail b. 1756, Feb. 2; possibly the same. The date of Jesse's death has not been learned, bnt his will was " lodged " 1825, Nov. 15, which shows that he died a few weeks or months previously. In the will he mentions his wife Abigail; his dau. Julia Knapp and granddaughter Elizabeth M. Kuapp. To his son Jesse he gave one-half of his wearing apparel, which, with what he had already had, was his equal share of the estate. Jesse^ Manning, the testator's grandson, was named as executor, and to him was given the remaining wearing apparel and all of the testa- tor's real estate, "wherever found." It is not found that there were children except by the first marriage, and this probability is con- firmed by the fact that no other is mentioned in the will. Ch., b. at Billerica : 507.

He was a cord- wainer. In 1769, Jan. 18, he joined his brothers and sister in deeds by which the farm " belonging to our honored father, Jacob Manning, late of Billerica," was, for a due money consideration, divided between two of the brothers who remained in the latter town, and, 1798, Apr. 10, he, with the other heirs, sold his rights in his mother's " thirds " to his brother Jacoi). He and his wife united with the South Church, Andover, in 1801. He m. 1769, June 6, Mehitable Kidder, b. 1749, Feb. 22, at Billerica. Her ancestry was Ephraim"* and Elizabeth (French), her parents; Ephraim^ and Abigail (Frost) ; Ephraim^ and Rachel (Crosby) ; James^ and Anna (Moore) Kidder. The last named came from DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 221 East Grinstead, Sussex, Eng., and, after residing a while at Cam- bridge, removed, 1659, to Billeriea, where he was 8 years select- man, an ensign in the militia company, and a brave and valued leader in the Indian troubles.

WILLIAM6 MANNING (Wm..^ Isaac," Saml.,3 Wm.,2 "\Vm.^) b. 1736, Oct. 14, at Charlestown, Mass. He resided until 1775 in his native town, and was a cooper ; and the offices to which he was elected indicate ability in his trade. He was culler of staves and packer of fish, 1761-4 ; surveyor of hoops and staves, 1764 ; and, 1766-8, culler and surveyor of hoops and staves, meas- urer of salt and coal, and packer of fish and flesh. He purchased, 1758, Nov. 18, " a certain piece of land & wharf e with a cooper's shop and warehouse thereon" for £33.6.8, and sold the same in 1761 for £46.13.4 ; probably his only holding of real estate. He was lame, and a considerable part of his life an invalid. While no evidence has been found to that effect it is probable that he was one of the financial sufferers from the burning of Charlestown after the battle of Bunker Hill, and he left the place soon after. He next lived at Leicester, Paxton, Spencer and Charlton, in which last named town he died. The date has not been learned. He was living 1781, Apr. 19, but d. before 1783, Mch. 18. He m. 1759, Nov. 29, Phebe Townsend, b. 1739, Oct. 24. Her ances- try was John" and Hannah (Hancock), her parents, of Charles- town ; SamueP and Elizabeth (Bucknam) of Maiden; Samuel- and Abigail (Davis) of Boston and Chelsea; Thomas' and Mary Townsend, of Lj'un, where he was freeman, 1639. On the death of her husband Phebe went to Waltham, 1785, and, before 1789, returned to Charlestown, where she d. 1807, July. Of the ch., the first seven were b. at Charlestown. 578.

Daxip:l, b. about 1778, probably at Leicester. [Baptized at Wal- tham, 1787, Sep. 9, Daniel, aged 9, and Isaac, aged 7, sons of the widow Phebe Manning.] Daniel was a skillful musician, and one tradition is that he enlisted at the Charlestown Navy Yard as a bugler in the war of 1812, and soon died. Another account is that he " went South or West." One report is that he never married; other informants have no information upon this point. The present writer is inclined to doubt all of these ti-aditions, e.specially as they lack conviction on the part of in- formants, and as there is good reason to doubt that Daniel was in the war of 1812. He certainly resided for a time at Charles- town. Who was the Daniel Manning whose intention of mar- riage with Mary Davis is found at Boston, 1803, June 6? Was this our Daniel? Did he have children? No opinion will be ventured here. Read what i.s said of Thomas Daniel ^Manning, No. 82rt, of the Miscellaneous Families in the appendix to this A'olunie. 587.

Little has been learned of him. His tax DESCENDANTS OF AVILLIA:M MANNING. 223 was abated losh. and 2d, in 1764, and, in 1785, " 7^." In 1784 and 1785 be was paid by the town for boarding certain poor per- sons. He m. 1763, Dec. 8, Hannah, dau. of Jerathmeel and Ke- becca (Hurd) Peirce, bap. 1744, Dec. 16; d. 1764, buried Aug. 26, leaving one child which, baptized after her death, died the next year. Isaac m. (2d), at an unknown date, Jane . Her maiden name does not appear, and there is no clew unless it is furnished by the middle name of her son. (See his sketch.) There was a William Homes, goldsmith, in Boston 1789 and after, but this may indicate nothing. Possibly one of her sureties, mentioned below, was a relative, but nothing is known to that effect. The date of Jane's death is unknown. Isaac Manning d. 1787, be- tween Jan. 19 and Jan. 26, aged, according to the newspaper no- tice of his death, 44 years. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow the following Dec. 6, with John Carter and Jabez Frothingham as her sureties. Nothing has been found to show positively that there was more than one child by the second marriage, and descendants of that one do not remember that he had brothers or sisters; but their knowledge of collateral relatives of even more recent times was limited. Theoretically, it looks as if there were two children, and there may have been several. No evidence whatever appears to determine this last possibility. Ch, : 594. Isaac, bap. 1764, Sep. 9; the only child of the first marriage; d. 1765, buried Aug. 10. 595. William Homes, b. 1769, July 31. 595a. ?J0ANNA. Perhaps no such child. In the census of 1789 appears a group of names, at Cliarlestown, recorded one above the other, but in words exactly as follows : " W. Homes Manning & wife. Jane. Joanna Manning." These four persons wore unquestionably all living in the same house. The group looks like the members of one family, namely, the widow Jane, her son Win. Homes and her daughter Joanna. The suggestion is preserved for the possible benefit of future investigators. No other Joanna Manning of that period is known. 233. JAMES6 MANNING (Wm.,^ Isaac,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.') bap. 1742-3, Mch. 21, at Charlestown, Mass. He resided in his native town. He was a colonial soldier under Capt. John Toplin in the expedition " destined for Canada," the service being in 1759 from Apr. 2 to Sep. ; and, again, in 1761, under Capt. Toplin and Col. Frye. The first-mentioned expedition ''sailed from the Castle " (^Fort Independence) Apr. 24. Tradition says 224 THE MANNING FAMILY. that, in private life, he was occupied with the ferry between Charlestown and Boston, so long operated by his father. When, after the battle of Bunker Hill, Charlestown was burned, James and his family shared in the general flight caused by the spreading flames. The mother took Aaron, the youngest child, in her arms, and carried him on foot into the country, the older children run- ning by her side. Mr. Manning carried on his back what valuables he could thus convey. The house in which they lived, with the greater part of its contents, was destroyed by fire. He set his loss of personal property at £20.8.2. There is still in existence an old mahogany desk, with secret drawers, which belonged to him, and which was in the house while the above battle was in progress, but which was saved. In luodern times it was 30 years in the keeping of his great grandson, Mr. Prentice C. Manning, and by him was more recently' given into the care of his older brother, Charles F. Manning. How soon James and family returned to Charlestown is not certain; they were there in 1784, and he remained and d. there 1790, Nov. 11. He was probably in ill health 1784-90. No estate in the Probate Office. He m, 1765, P^eb. 18, Ann Brown. Wymayi's Charlestown Genealogies says she was dau. of Benjamin and Anna (Boylstou) Brown. If this is correct she was bap. at Charlestown, 1742-3, Mch. 21. The memorandum of Mr. Franklin Manning (a grandson of James, and a careful and reliable recorder) says that James "married Ann Brown, of Concord," and adds: " The widow Brown of Concord was my father's grandmother, and she was sister to the mother of Nathan Kinsman, of Hanover, N. H." Ann Manning "owned the covenant" 1765, Sep. 22. Ch., b. at Charlestown : 596. James, bap. 1765, Nov. 17; enlisted as a Revohitionary soldier, 1781, Feb. 12, at Framiugham, " for tlie war." He was described as being 16 years old; stature, 4 ft. 10 inches; complexion, light; hair, brown; eyes, dark; farmer. He d. 1800, Jan. li, at Charlestown, of consumption. It has been supposed that he was unmarried, but proof to that efiect is lacking. An inten- tion of marriage at Boston, 1789, Sep. 20, is that of one James Manning and Elizabeth Reu:in. There is no known reason to suppose this was our James. 597. Axx, bap. 1767, Aug. 16. 598. William, b. 1770, Mch. 25. 599. SuSAXNA, bap. 1772, Feb. 28; m. 1807, Oct. 13, Samuel Stevens, of Andover.

CALEBS MANNING OYm.,^ Isaac,^ Saml.,MVm.,3 Wm.^) bap. 1746, Oct. 26, at Charlestown, Mass. He resided for a time in his native town, and was one of the sufferers b3' the Charlestown fire, 1775, his estimate of his loss being £12.11 ; re- moved to Medford before 1778, July 21, and to Salem 10 or 11 years later. When he sold his rights in his father's estate, 1788, Mch. 11, the deed gives his residence as Salem, but he had a child baptized at Medford, Nov. 8 of the same year ; the removal soon followed, and his home was thenceforth at Salem. He was a chaisemaker. At Charlestown he was elected hayward in 1774-5. In 1777 he, together with his step-mother, was administrator of his father's estate. He bought, 1787, Oct. 12, for £36, land in Charlestown with an adjoining dock, but there is no evidence that he personally occupied it. This purchase was sold, 1810, Dec. 10, by his widow, Rachel, and his daughters, Mary, Elizabeth and Abigail. Caleb d. 1792, March, at Salem. He. m. at Charles- town, 1772, Nov. 24, Rachel Rand, bap. 1746, Apr. 20, at Charlestown. Her ancestry was Nathaniel and Mehitable (Call), her parents ; Joseph^ and Sarah (Bridgen) ; Sergt. Nathaniel- and Abigail (Carter) ; Robert^ and Alice Rand, all of Charlestown, where Robert^ settled as early as 1635. Rachel owned the cove- nant at Charlestown, 1773, Oct. 17. She returned to Charlestown as early as 1796, and was living there 1810, Dec. 10. Not ac- counted for further. Ch. : 603. NATHA^^EL, birth not recorded. Of him Wyman's Charlestown says, "died early." Such was his history then ; nothing has since been added. At Medford, Caleb had a child (uo name (15) [ 226 THE MANNING FAMILY. recorded) die 1778, July 21. The old chnrch book has the burial of this nameless one (July 22\ and calls him " the only child of Caleb Manning." Unless a mistake was made in terming him "the only child," this may be the death of Nathaniel. Without this last item it would be significant that, at Boston, 1795, Dec. 3, is found the marriage intention of one Nathaniel Manning and Elizabeth Larned (and this Nathan- iel was probably the man, a piiinter, who lived on Sea St., Bos- ton, 17'J6-1800, and on Prince st., 1805; probably, too, the Nathaniel who d. at Boston, 1818, Jan. 9), " Died early" is indefinite. The present writer has found the term applied to all ages from 1 year to 45. It is possible that our Nathaniel lived to marry. Elizabeth, widow of the Nathaniel of Bos- ton, d. 1833, Apr. 24. By will she gave her property to her nieces, Elizabeth and Sarah Bemis Magnoni, and to her sisters, Susan, widow of Thomas Eliot, Ann Learned, spinster, and Avis, widow of Pelligrino Magnoni. These sisters are termed her only heirs, from which it seems she left no children. 604. Caleb, bap. 1778, Nov. 8, at Medford. He was a chair-maker, and resided at Salem. He m. there, 1801, Apr. 16, Lois Graves. She d. 1807, Oct. 4; Caleb d. 1810, June, both at Salem. All eflbrts to learn more of them have failed. "When, 1810, Dec. 10, the Charlestown real estate of the elder Caleb [235] Avas sold, as above, the widow and her three daughters appear as sole grantors. No son joined in the deed, and no grandson by his guardian. This would seem to indicate that neither Caleb, junior, nor his brother Nathaniel had left children, but the evidence is not thought conclusive as to the former. The married life of Caleb and Lois covered a period of over six years. It is unlikely that they had no children. While at Salem, Caleb had several land transactions with one Samuel Burrell Graves. At Salem, 1840, June 25, occurred the death of one Burrell G. Manning, at the age of 38 years. The sim- ilarity of his name to that of Mr. Graves is striking. Was Lois Graves closely related to Samuel Burrell Graves, and was Burrell G. Manning her son? If she had one child by her marriage with Caleb there may have been others. The point cannot be settled now. 605. Abigail, bap. 1781, Mch. 11, at Medford; m. 1805, Dec. 29, Henry v. Hammat, of Boston, where he resided 1806-7. She was living in 1810. Not traced further. 606.

TH0MAS6 MANNING (Wm.,5 Isaac,4Saml.,3 Wm.,2 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 227 Wm.^) bap. 1755, Dec. 28, at Charlestown, Mass. He probably was a Revolutionary soldier under Capt. Joshua Chadwick and Col. Gridley. The Thomas Manning of this service enlisted 1775, May 15, and his age was 19 years, which fits the Thomas of this section. Moreover, the soldier's residence Avas Charlestown, and this combined evidence seems conclusive. Before 1783 he settled at Salem, where he was a cabinet-maker. He joined in the deed of 1788 by which he and the other heirs sold his father's real es- tate in Charlestown. The date of his death is not known.

In 1776 he was under Capt. Amos Paine, in the 11th Ct. regt., and he enlisted again, 1778, Mch. 1, and served under Capt. William Manning in the 2d regt., Col. Charles Webb. His command was in the battle of Monmouth, June 28. He had en- listed for 3 years, but was discharged Dec. 21, probably for phys- ical disability. He was a drummer in the latter service. He may have served further. With the exception of a short residence at Mansfield, which covered the years 1792 and '93, he lived at Wood- stock until as late as 1799. He removed to Middlebury, Vt., in or before 1802, in which year he sold his rights in the Fox (his mother's) estate.

J0HN6 MANNING (Elipbalet,^ Eliphalet,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1749, Jime 3, at Tewksbury, Mass. As early as 1775 he went to Dunstable, N. H., where, March 1 of thatyear, he was one of the 14 signers of the following paper: " We the subscribers taking into our consideration the present difficulty, do hereby voluntarily engage with each other in defense of our country, Priveledges and Libertys for the space of six months from date ; that we will submit ourselves to the Laws equally the same as if they were in full force respecting our officers that are now, or hereafter may be chosen in all Military Duty." This paper, written less than 2 months before the battle of Lexington, was the result of the threatening aspect of public affairs. War came, and John enlisted as a soldier. His first service was under Capt. Leonard Butterfield and Col. Ebenezer Bridge, witli those who marched on the Lexington alarm of Apr. 19. This was in the Mass. troops; he may have served longer there, but shortly thereafter he was with the New Hampshire patriots. In 1776 (date of enlistment not learned) he was under Capt. Amos Emerson, in the 1st N. H. regt.. Col. Joseph Cilley, this enlistment being '" for the war." His name appears on rolls in the five succeeding years, and it is al- most certain that he served until the surrender of Cornwallis, 1781, Oct., practically ended the war, making five, and perhaps six years of continuous service. He was with the army at Ticonderoga Avlien the patriots abandoned that post, 1777, July 6. The next day the battle of Hubbardton was fought, and John was taken prisoner. At some subsequent date he was " retaken ;" how, or when, is un- known, but his captivity extended through several months if the couclusions to be drawn from another paper are correct. Said paper is an official document dated at Valley Forge, 1778, Jan. 10. It mentions him as an absentee, and thus describes him : "Height, i DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 237 5 feet aud 7 inches ; light complexion, hair and eyes ; prisoner at Ticonderoga." If he was still missing at this time he had, it would seem, then been 6 months a prisoner. But the report erred in giv- ing Ticonderoga as the place where he was taken prisoner, for John, in his petition for reimbursement for the loss of his " bag- gage," when captured, distinctly states that he was taken at Hub- bardton. This petition was made 1796, Dec. He continued in service, after being " retaken," and was promoted to the rank of sergeant. After the war he was, in 1783, back in Dunstable, and, in that year, was one of several signers to a petition concerning the election of a representative. Later, he removed to Amherst, where he bought real estate in 1785. In 1803, in that town, he was one of numerous petitioners to have a part of Amherst set off to form a new town. The request was granted, and the new division named Mont Vernon. This was his home from that time. He is credited with exactly the same musical qualities possessed by his brother Isaac, but, while the proof is positive as to the brother, it is possible that tiie distant relatives who have ascribed the same qualities to John were confused as to identity. The compiler does not attempt to decide this question. John was a carpenter. In his will, drawn 1813, Feb. 13, he gives to his " honest, good and beloved wife," Lydia, and to his " only son " Enoch, etc. He m. 1784, Feb. 15, Lydia Pike, of Amherst, b. 1768, Mch. 22 ; d. 1834, Feb. 2.

SAMUEL6 MANNING(Eliphalet,5 Eliphalet,^ Saml.,^ Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1752, Nov. 16, at Tewksbury, Mass. A Revo- lutionary soldier of long experience. He was among others who marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. John Trull and Col. Ebenezer Bridge, and, later in the same year, was under Capt. John Harnden and Col. Bridge. He enlisted 1777,June 14, for 3 years, and long served in Col. Henry Jackson's regt., his company commanders being, at various times, Capt, Langdon, Lt. Condy and Maj, Samuel Trescott. He was in this regiment as late as 1779, Dec, and probably served his full term in some com- mand. He was promoted as sergeant, 1777, Sep. 15, and retained 238 THE MANNING FAMILY. the office as long as he was with Col. Jackson. Late in life he was a pensioner under act of Congress, and to the end of his life. He located at Tewksbury, where he was captain of the militia com- pany. Tradition says he at one time kept a tavern at Tewksbury Center, and was subsequently a skillful shoemaker. He was also a farmer, as is shown by deed of 1787. It is probable that he had part of his father's farm by unrecorded deed. His only recorded purchase was 1787, Apr. 2, of 15 acres for £36. This land lay west of his dwelling house. He sold 17 acres in 1789, and seems to have had 85 acres (and perhaps more) in 1809. Other sales followed. He left no will, but died " possessed of goods & es- tate." Administration was granted to his son Benjamin. No in- ventory of his estate is found on file now. He united with the church, 1781, Oct. 14; his wife doubtless united previously. He m. 1780, Nov. 2, Mrs. Mehitable Burtt, widow of Benj. Burtt and dau. of Rev. Sampson Spalding. The latter was a graduate of Harvard, 1732, and pastor of the church at Tewksbury for 59 years, from the time it was founded until his death in 1796. Mehit- able was b. 1749, Mch. 13 ; d. 1821, Mch. 23. Her ancestry was Rev. Sampson^ and Mehitable (Hunt), her parents; JohnS and Mary (Barrett), of Chelmsford; Andrew^ and Hannah (Jefts) , and Edward' and Rachel Spalding, the founders in America, Edward having come from England about 1630-3, and early set- tled at Chelmsford. Capt. Manning d. at Tewksbury, 1822, Apr. 1 1 , according to the Revolutionary Pension Roll. The town record says 1821, Apr. 7, but gives his age as 69, wbich confirms the Pension Roll. He and his wife are buried at Tewksbury ; no gravestones. Ch., b. at Tewksbury : 733. Benjamin, b. 1781, June 12. 734. Abiah, b. 1782, Dec. 24. 735. S.\MUEL, b. 1784, Sep. 22. 736.

ISAAC6 MANNING (Eliphalet,^ Eliphalet," Saml.,^ Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1755, Jan. 20, at Tewksbury, Mass. A Revolu- tionary soldier. He marched with Capt. John Trull's company on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, in Col. Ebenezer Bridge's DESCENDAXTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 239 regt. Later he was in Capt. Benj. Walker's co., of Bridge's regt., having enlisted at Tewksbiiry in April of the latter year for eight months. He fonght at the battle of Bunker Hill. He re-enlisted 1776, Jan. 1, for one year, in Capt. William Hull's company, 19th Continental Infantry, Col. Charles Webb. This regiment was raised as an independent command, at large, by authority of Congress. Col. Webb was of Connecticut, and, as a consequence, Isaac Manning's name appears in the list of soldiers printed by the State of Ct. He was transferred 1776, July 16, to Washing- ton's Life Guards, where he served under Major Caleb Gibbs. From 1778, Dec. 10, to 1780, July 1, he probably was not in ser- vice. On the last-named date he rejoined the Life Guards, " for the war," and served until 1783, June 6, when he was furloughed, and discharged Nov. 3 following. In all these services he was a fifer. One old roll describes him as being 5 feet and 8 inches in height; complexion dark, and a shoemaker by calling. AVhile his service was not continuous it will be seen that he took part from the day of the first battle until peace was established. Soon after the war he settled at Amherst, N. H., Avhere, in 1788, he was one of several petitioners to have a part of tiie so-called north-west church parish annexed to the second parish. In 1803 he was a signer of the petition to have a portion of the town set off to form a new township, and, this being done, the change made him an in- habitant of Mont Vernon. He had an unusual musical gift, and often played the violin at dances. It is said of him on good au- thority that he would dance and play the instrument at the same time, and leap from a window and re-enter the house by the door without varying in " time " in his playing. He continued the oc- cupation of a shoemaker, but is said to have earned a considerable part of his living playing at dances. He m. at Amherst 1786, June 13, Sarah Pike, born in 1765, according to his pension papers. She was living at Mont Vernon 1849, Nov. 22, and d. about 1850. She was probably related to Benjamin Pike, of Amherst and Mont Vernon; perhaps his daughter. At some time previous to 1818 Isaac Manning returned to Tewksbury, where bed. 1825, June 27. He was probably buried there ; no gravestone exists. It is not found that he ever owned real estate, and he seems to have left no property, as his name does not appear in the Probate Office. The birth-dates of his children are generally lacking, and the exact order of birth is not certain. The order adopted here is the same in which they are named in his pension papers, and it is believed 240 THE MANNING FAMILY. to be thoroughly correct. Probably all were born at Amherst and Mont Vernon. Ch. : 740. Betsey, date of birtli not learned; m. Micajah Harrison and re- moved to the South. 741. John T., date of birth not learned. His history is uncertain. A nephew has reported that he was drugged and compelled to en- list in the war of 1812, in which service he was a musician; and that, while on a transport, he fell overboard and, becoming entangled in sea-weed, was drowned. This statement, though made in good faith, was none too confident, and, for reasons mentioned below, is believed to be positively incorrect in at least one particular. Another relative reports that John mar- ried Prudence Stevens and liad one child ; a son, if memory is correct. There the family recollections end. From other sources the following has been learned. First, Isaac Manning's pension paper calls this son John T. Secondly, some one named John T. Manning m. at Boston, Mass., 1815, Mch. 25, Charlotte Barker (marriage intention gives her name as Baker). This appearance of the name John T. Manning may be a coincidence. If he was the same man as the subject of this sketch it cannot be that he was drowned in the war of 1812. Further than this nothing can be said, except that there is some reason to believe that the full name of Isaac's son was John Tyng Manning. 742. Rachel; lived and d. num. at Goffstown, N. H. 743.

ELIPHALET6 MANNING (Eliphalet,^ Eliphalet,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1757, Apr. 16, at Tewksbury, Mass. A soldier of the Revolution. He marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. John Trull, and was in Col. Ebenezer Bridge's regt. Later, in the same year, he was under Capt. Benj. "Walker for 3 mos. and 11 days, and, 1776, under Capt. John Ford and Col. Robinson from Feb. 5 to April. In this year he was one of sundry men paid for '' losses at Lexington and Bunker Hill." He then went to Dunstable, N. H., and, some time in 1776, en- listed from there in Col. Joseph Cilley's 1st N. H. Regt., for 3 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAINI MANNING. 241 years. He was first under Capt. Amos Emerson, and next under Capt. Josiah Munroe. He remained with this regiment until well along in 1781 (Kidder's history of said regiment says until Dec.), rounding out a service nearly, or quite, continuous of over 6 years. It is said that he also served the Government in Shays' Rebellion. He received a pension for his Revolutionary service. He remained a devoted patriot, and was quick to resent any uncomplimentary remark against his country. Drake's History of Middlesex Co., referring to a period 40 j^ears after the Revolution, saj's : "A grandson of Capt. Trull relates how he was often hailed by the aged and enfeebled Eliphalet Manning, one of the survivors of that memorable march [that of 1775], who would thus address him : ' I fought with your grandfather from Concord to Charles- town.' " After the war Eliphalet resided chiefly, perhaps wholly, in Tewksbury. A farmer. He doubtless had a part of his father's farm. No purchase by him is on record, but he sold lots at various times, beginning with 1797, until his farm was parted with wholly. Tradition says he was " a great Indian fighter," and many stories are told of his alleged exploits as such. These must be rejected, as they are the standai'd legends familiar to all persons 40 years ago, and, moreover, of great antiquity and unknown origin. Eliphalet's Revolutionary service may, however, have taken him where there was Indian fighting. A paper in the Probate OflSce states that he left no property, but that a small balance as a pen- sioner was due him. He was a man of marked characteristics, and is well remembered in the town to the present day. He m. 1784, intention Dec. 20, Sarah Goodwin, of Woburn. Her par- entage has not been learned. One Thomas Goodwin and wife Mary lived in Billerica and Woburn ; probably relatives, and per- haps parents of Sarah, but no evidence to that effect is known, except the similarity of Christian names. The Tewksbury chnrch record has this entry: Died 1814, Jan. 30, " the widow Kittredge, the mother of Life Manning's wife, of old age, 84." From tliis it would seem that Mrs. Goodwin had made a second marriage. Mrs. Sarah Manning was living 1814, June 25 [deed], but the date of her death does not appear.

A soldier of the Revolution ; marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19; was in Capt. Jonathan Brown's company, of Col. David Green's regt. Perhaps he served further. There are several terms under the name of Thomas Manning which the compiler is unable to allot definitely to the several men of the same name who were in the army. Resided in his native town as a farmer. He lived in the honse erected by his father, and added to the work of the farm the raising of hops for the yearly market. His estate DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 243 was inventoried at £185.5.1, of which £77.3.11 was personal prop- erty. The homestead was appraised at £75, and 20 acres of kind in Wilmington at £30, and two acres of meadow at £3.1.2. In 1800, Mch. 17, Rebecca, his widow, purchased by deed the riglits of the two eldest children, Thomas and Hannah, for $50. Ultimately, the farm became the property of the son Jonathan.

Rhoda Lathrop, perhaps dau. of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Hewet) Lathrop. James is said to have d. in Pomfret; his widow removed with her father to Franklin Co., N. Y. The ch. of this James Manning were : I. Samuel Goodell, b. 1797; supervisor at Moira, 1844-8, and justice of sessions, 1849 ; m. and had one child, Gertrude, now Mrs. Nichols, of White Plains, N. Y. II. Warren Lathrop, b. 1800; church trustee; supervisor, 1846-8, at Fort Covington, N. Y. ; m. and had one child, Warren Lathrop, who d. aged 18 years. Mrs. Nichols, above, has always understood that her grandfather, James, was an only child ; thus far the evidence harmonizes. But it is her impression, further, that her grand- father d. when his younger ch. was 2 years old. If all the dates here given are correct, James of Pomfret cannot have been the James of Windham, but it may not be inappropriate to preserve here the facts above set forth. 359.

The compiler of the above list evidently found writing, somewhere, too perplexing to be correctly deciphered. He had his father's farm, and resided thereon until he sold it, 1827, Sep. 7, to Gamaliel Manning [417]. He had a marked musical gift ; enjoyed a fine reputation as a choir leader, and was often employed as an instructor in vocal music. He was called "Capt."

Previous to his marriage he settled in Coventry, where he resided from that time. He owned land, and, in the lack of definite information, is believed to have been a farmer. His fellow townsmen elected him to the office of selectman. He was one of the executors of his father-in-law's will. Numerous letters remaining uncalled for in the Norwich post-office were advertised in the Norwich Packet of 1791, Jan. 28. Of these, one was for " Capt. Calvin Manning, Coventry, Ct." Whence this title came is unknown, but the prob- ability is that he was an officer in the militia. If he was a soldier, the service seems not to have been recorded.

In 1777, from Apr. 24 to Nov. 5, he was under Capt. Nathaniel Wales and Col. Jonathan Latimer in a regiment which was at the battle of Saratoga ; was assigned to Poor's brigade of Benedict Arnold's division, and highly com- plimented by Gen. Gates. In 1778 Nathaniel was under Capt. Jonathan Rudd and Col. Samuel Chapman. This regiment served under Gen. Sullivan at Newport, and was at the battle of Rhode Island, Aug. 29. Nathaniel had his father's farm and resided thereon. He was administrator of the estate of his brother-in-law, Dr. Cheney. He was tithingman, 1785, 1800; highway surveyor, 1786-92, 1801 ; lister, 1793-6 ; grand juror, 1791 ; selectman, 1799-1801, and constable for at least 3 years beginning 1788. In 1790 the following advertisement appeared in the Norwich Packet of Aug. 13 : " Made his escape on the 30th of July one Napthali Webb, who then was in custody of the subscriber, by virtue of a special warrant issued by lawful authority. Said Webb is about 5 feet 6 inches high, and not far from 50 years of age. Whoever will take up and return him to me shall have $3 reward and all necessary charges paid by, Nathaniel BIanning, Constable. Windham, Aug. 10, 1790." It has not been learned whether the prisoner was recaptured. Nathaniel represented his town in the legislature, 1806-7, 1809.

About 1794 he went from the latter town to Milton, N. Y., where he lived for several years ; then removed to Northampton, and, later, to Edinburgh. One account from a descendant says he re- sided at Milton until 1809. This is not in harmony with the birth- places of his children, as furnished by the several descendants, but it is probable that some of the birthplaces are erroneously given. At a date estimated as 1830 he left Edinburgh and went to the home of his son Eli, in Broadalbin, where the final years of his life were passed, and where he died, after being for 30 years so afflicted with rheumatism that he could not take a step without the aid of two canes.

DAVID^ MANNING (David,^ Saml.,^ Saml.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.') b. about 1759. Whether his birthplace was Sharon, Ct., where his parents were residing in 1768, or elsewhere, is un- known. A Revolutionary soldier. In 1775 he was under Capt. Samuel Elmore and Col. Beuj. Hiuman in a regiment raised in April and May, and which, on the capture of Ticonderoga, was sent to secure that post and Crown Point from recapture, where the regiment was under Gen. Schuyler. David served until Sep. 21. The next year he was under Capt. David Downs and Col. Charles Burrell. This regiment also served in the Northern De- partment, reinforcing the troops besieging Quebec under Benedict Arnold. May 19, Capt. Downs' company was in an engagement at the Cedars, 40 miles from Montreal, and nearly all were cap- tured by the British. Of this number David Manning was one, but how he regained his liberty has not been learned. His name does not again appear on the Ct. rolls, but he had long experience with the Mass. troops, being under Capt. Moses Ashley and Col. Joseph Vose from 1777, Jan. 1, to 1779, Dec. 31 ; a term of 3 years. During this period David's name appears on 14 different muster or pay rolls. In only one case is his residence given ; it is then said to be Oxford, Mass. Perhaps he did enlist from Oxford ; perhaps the alleged residence was an error of the enrolling officer. The latter possibility is the more reasonable because he continued in Col. Vose's regiment in 1780, and on the last-named roll his DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 251 residence is given as Sharon. He was in service 1780, Jan. 25, bul liow much longer is unknown. After the war he resided for several years at Stockbridge, Mass., and, from Jan. 1793, to 1795, he was brigade major of the 9th (Berkshire) division of the State militia of Mass. He was called Major Manning to the close of his life. In 1795 he removed to Lisle, Broome Co., N. Y., where he afterwards resided. He m. in that part of Woodbury, Ct., now called Southbury, 1785, Oct. 6, Lucy Peck, of whose ancestry, birth and death nothing has been learned ; and he m. (2d) Anne dan. of Col.

DAN^ MANNING (Josepb,^ Jobn,^ Saml.,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1753, Sep. 29, at Windham, Ct. A Revolution- ary soldier. He marched on the Lexington alarm of 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. John Kingsle}'. Another term was from 1778, Mch. 3, to 1779, Jan. 1, under Capt. Wills Clift and Col. Samuel Wyllys, in the 3d Ct. regt. which, during this lime, was with Washington's main army. This seems to be all the service that is to be found on the incomplete rolls, but, fortunately, more is known of his war record. A grandson whose information is of the best states that he was in the battles of Bunker Hill, Long Island, Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and Yorktown, and stood near Gen. Lincoln when the latter received the sword of Gen. O'Hara, the representative of Lord Coruwallis, after the last- named battle. He was nnder Gen. Israel Putnam at Bunker Hill, and, being with the Ct. troops at " the rail fence," saw the general gallop along the line on his horse under fire. He afterwards re- ceived a pension. In 1783 he went to Poultney, Vt., and hence- forth resided in that town. The first land he bought, paying in part therefor a horse, saddle and bridle, he lost by reason of the former possessor having a defective title. During the war his house and its contents had been burned. Now, for a second time, he lost his all. He purchased anew (on Town Hill), and, being a cooper as well as a farmer, the payments were to be made in bar- els, a certain number to be delivered annually for 4 years " on Poultney Green by the whipping-post." He began work on the land, which was a dense forest, and frequented by bears, wolves and panthers, and where he w^as occasionally visited by a friendly Indian. He built a log-cabin of two rooms, one for a cooper shop, the other for his family ; and for a time lived with his dog and gun as his only companions. In 1784 he brought his family from Windham, by team, his wife walking the greater part of the way with her youngest child in her arms. At the new home she spun and wove and made her own cloth, and, also, her own bed-covers. When the Baptists were trying to build a church at East Poultney there was some diflSculty in getting a suitable location. A former resident, then living " West, on what was once called the ' Holland DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 255 Purchase,' " owned the Poultney Green, where the church now stands. Mr. Manning went to him on horseback, secured a deed of the desired site, returned home and, going to the town clerk's in the night, had the deed recorded before his absence was gener- ally known. He gave time, money and lumber toward building the church. He was always called "Captain;" perhaps from militia associations. He remained on his farm as long as he was able to do any work, and then resided with his daughter Esther. He m. 1775, Mch. 2, Lydia Peters, b. 1755, Dec. 24, at Coventry, Ct.

He bought, 1771, Oct. 11, one acre of land in Newent Society, Norwich (now the town of Lisbon). His name appears, 1772, Feb. 27, as one of those "desiring to have pews " in the meetiug-house then being erected at Newent. He d. there, 1774, Nov. 20. The inventory of his estate, taken Dec. 5, shows that he was a blacksmith, but names only his wife Mary. He had children, but their number, names and sex have not been learned. Tradition certifies that there were children. They are mentioned in the will of their grandfather Manning, drawn in 1778, but only as the children of his son Samuel, deceased.

Jedediah Huntington, in the 1st co,, of the 8th Ct. regt., 1775, from July 10 to Dec. 16. The service was on L. I. Sound until Sep. 14, and afterwards in the Boston camps, the regiment's post being at Roxbury. At a date not learned, and under conditions not found on record, he enlisted in the 1st regt., where- he remained until " transferred at Valley Forge " to "Washington's Life Guards. This famous command was organized in 1776 of picked men. Originally 175 in number, the force was increased by 100 at Valley Forge, 1778, Mch. 17, and this date may be the time when Diah was transferred, as above. History has preserved the necessary qualifications of the Guardsmen, as follows : " Height of men from five feet eight to five feet ten ; age from twenty to thirty, and men of established character for sobriety and fidelity. They must be American born." Diah continued with the Life Guards until late in 1780, for he beat the drum at the execution of Major Andre, Oct. 2, when that officer perished as a spy at Tappan, N. Y. Diah served in 1781 from Jan. 1 to Dee. 31 under Capt. Paul Brigham and Col. Isaac Sherman in the 5th regt. At Norwich he was celebrated as a drummer, and, as such, is well remembered. He was for many years the bell-ringer of Norwich Town, and was jailer at Norwich during the French Revolution. In 1800 the American ship "Trum- bull," returning from a cruise, took as a prize a vessel with a passenger list of fugitives seeking to escape from the dangers of the St. Domingo war, and several of the prisoners were sent to Norwich and there held until released some months later. One of this number, a young mulatto, was much impressed by the kind- ness shown them. He was Jean Pierre Boyer, afterwards Presi- dent of the republic of Hayti, and, nearly 20 years after his ex- perience in Norwich, he sent a present of $400 to Diah's widow in appreciation of the treatment he had received.

In 1838 his widow made a[)plicatiou for a pen- sion for his services, and the i)apers relating thereto state that he served G months, and was a part of the time under Capt. Robinson and Col. Ely. This enables us to correct an error in the printed DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 267 rolls of Ct. soldiers, which say that " Roswell " Manning, arriving at camp 1778, July 1, served under Capt. Abner Kobinson and Col. Samuel McLellan, in Tyler's Brigade of Gen. Sullivan's army, in R. I. As no Roswell Manning is known, comparison of the foregoing facts leads to the safe belief that the enrolling officer misunderstood the name and conveyed his error to the roll. Re- sided at Norwich, where he was a stone-cutter. The Norwich Packet, of 1785, July 14, contained this advertisement: "Rock- well Manning, Stone-Cutter and Engraver, Respectfully informs the public, that he carries on the Stone-Cutting and Engrav- ing business in all its various branches, at his house in the City of Norwich, and at the house of Mr. William Bingham's in Canter- bury ; all orders left with him or with Mr. Bingham, will be punct- ually executed. — Any that are desirous of having the American Marble, which makes elegant Tables, may be furnished by said Manning. The smalest favours will be thankfully acknowledged." Together with his brother Frederick he bought land in Norwich in 1783 and 1785, but the latter sold his share in 1786, and Rockwell became sole owner. A house erected by him is still standing.

STEPHEN^ MANNING (Phmeas,^ JohD,^ Saml.," Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) bap. 1748, Sep. 18, at Windham, Ct., but reared in part at Stafford. A Eevolutiouary soldier. Before the war he had gone to Lebanon, N. H., and, in 1776, he enlisted in a company of "rangers" under Capt. Josiah Russell, formed in the adjacent town of Plainfield. This service seems to have been of but 2 months duration, but he re-enlisted and, in 1777, his name appears in a "town return" of Lt. Wm. Dana, of Lebanon, among certain " soldiers in service for 3 years." After Stephen's name follows the remark, "for the State of New York," which leads to the belief that he was the same Stephen Manning who appears on the N. Y. Rolls. In Lt. Dana's return Stephen's com- mander is not mentioned. The Stephen of N. Y., in 1777, was under Lt. Samuel Pain, in Capt. Alexander Campbell's co. of the Argyle district, Dorset regt., of which John Williams was colonel, and all were of the Washington Co. militia. It is not certain that he was the same man as the subject of this sketch. Our Stephen m. at Staflfoid, 1778, Feb. 26, Marsylvia Colburn, perhaps dan. of Jonathan and Hannah, and, if so, b. 1760, May 11. In the church record of this marriage Stephen is said to be " of Lebanon, in New Hampshire." Marsylvia united with the Stafford church 1785, Nov. 27. None of the younger children are recorded at Stafford, and it is likely that Stephen left town soon after 1785. Tradition says that he went to Stephentown, N. Y., and one ac- count is that he d. there about 1810. Another report, equally reliable, says he d. at Saratoga. His widow d. about 1823, at p:ibridge, N. Y. Ch. : 955.

PHINEAS^ MANNING (Phineas,^ John,^ Saml.," Saml.,3 wm.^ 2 Wm.') b. 1756, Oct. 7, at Windham, Ct. ; chiefly reared at Stafford. In, or before, 1777 he went to Chesterfield, Mass., probably to that part of the town which was set off in 1781 to form the new town of Goshen, for he was a resident of Goshen from its incorporation to his death. A Revolutionary soldier. Tradition says he served 7 years, and official rolls show most of this duty. His first term found on record is his enlist- ment 1777, March, for 3 years in the Hampshire Co. regt.,the 2d Mass , Col. John Bailey, and he served the full term under that commander. His captain was first Wm. White ; next Ephraim Burr, and lastly, Abner Hayward. On the expiration of his term Phineas re-enlisted in the same company and regt. The latest roll on which his name appears is dated 1781, Jan., but it is not im- probable that he remained in service until the cessation of hostili- ties was formally proclaimed in 1783, after the preliminary treaty was signed. Probably, too, he was in service before his enlist- ment of 1777, for, in one undated roll, his age is given as 19 years. If the age is correct this was in 1775 or '76. A part of the time he was a musician, for in 4 rolls in a total of 11 he appears as a fifer, but this was not the case at all times. It has not been learned in what battles he took part, but his command was of the army that wintered and suffered in camp at Valley Forge, 1777-8. The undated roll before mentioned gives his complexion as light and hair as brown. He was among those who, by resolve of Court, 1801, Mch. 5, were each entitled to 200 acres of land or §20 for for their services. Reliable family report is that he was at one time in Washington's Body Guard, and received a medal from Wash- ington's hands for bravery. This medal was destroyed by fire when the Manning residence was burned in 1804. He was a DESCENDANTS OF AMLLIAM MANNING. 271 farmer. In 1787, Oct. 10, he bought 70 acres in Goshen for £80, and, 1789, Oct. 7, 14 acres for £8.8. In 1821 he deeded his farm to his son George W. for $550. He m.

It is supposed that he lost his life in some way in the aforesaid war. 448. WILLIAM" MANNING (Phineas,^ John,^ Saml.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) bap. 1760, Jan. 20, at Windham, Ct. He was chiefly reared at Stafford. A Revolutionary soldier. He may have served early in the war, but the first term which can be al- lotted to him positively was his enlistment at Somers (near Staf- ford), according to his pension papers, 1777, Mch. 1, for 3 years. He was under Capt. Amos Walbridge and Col. Charles Webb in the 2d Ct. regt., of which Zebulon Butler was afterwards colonel ; and in the same company with his (William's) father and his fu- ture brother-in-law, Timothy Luce. This regt. assembled at Dan- bury in April ; "soon went into camp at Peekskill ; served in the summer and fall along the Hudson under Gen. Putnam ; ordered 272 THE MANNING FAMILY. Nov. 14 to join Washington's army in Penn. ; was at the battle of Whitemarsh, Dee. 8 ; wintered at Valley Forge, '77-8 ; fought at Monmouth July 28 after; wintered, '78-9, at Redding; again served along the Hudson, etc. William was reported on the rolls as " killed or taken prisoner" 1777, Dec. 7. His pension papers state that lie was wounded by a bayonet at the battle of White- marsh, Pa., 1777, Dec., and taken prisoner and confined at Philn- adelphia seven (six ?) months, when he was exchanged and rejoined his regiment the day after the battle of Monmouth. He always carried the double scar of his wound. the bayonet having completely pierced his body laterally, and the injury must have been severe. He used to say that all that saved his life at the time he was wounded was that he had eaten nothing for three days. With the expiration of his term, 1780, Mch. 1, he appears no more on the Ct. rolls, but it is believed he then went to Berkshire Co., Mass., and was the same William Manning who served in 1781 under Capt. Thompson J. Skinner and Col. Asa Barnes in the Berkshire company. His residence between 1780 and 1818 is not certainly known, l)ut the probability is that he lived in Berkshire Co. until 1800, and that he was the same man of his name who purchased a farm in Great Barriugton, 1797, Apr. 29, and sold the same 1800, Jan. 21. This may not be correct, as it conflicts with his son Charles' supposed birthplace. It is said he lived for a time in Essex Co., N. Y., but the first positive information we have of his residence was in 1818, when he was at Fort Ann, N.Y., and when he applied for and received a pension for his war ser- vice. He removed about 1820 to Benson, Vt. A fanner. He m., probably before 1784, Sarah Higgins, of whose origin nothing has been learned. Shed. 1839, Mch. 24, aged 74, according to family report; it is said that the pension papers state that she was b. in 17G1. William jManning d. 1847, Jan. 8, at Benson, and is buried there. It has not been learned definitely where his children were born, nor what was the exact order of birth in all cases. Several birth-dates are missing. Ch. : 968. Wn.LL\5t ; date of birth unknown. Of him nothing can be given here except from tradition, and diflerent reports from relatives pre- sent Avido variations as to details. All agree that he lived in N. Y. or Vt., and llnally went West (before 1849) to live with his son John, a merchant. Nearly all accounts locate John in Michigan, but a business directory of Michigan of that date has DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 273 no merctiant named John Manning. One report gives William's residence, -vvhen in the East, as Essex Co. This is doubtful. Another report, in which the writer has confidence, and which does not seem open to reasonable doubt, says he lived in N. Y. near the foot of Lake Champlain, and near Whitehall, 8o that the vvaj- from the latter town to William's home was " around South Bay " (this being the S. W. point of the lake). Accounts as to his children differ greatly. One statement is that there were 8 or 9 ch., only one or two of whom were <;irls. The most convincing report limits the number to three and names them thus: I. William, Jr. IL John. III. Adeline. A different rumor suggests, none too confidently, a son James. In brief, little can be said positively of the family, but the foregoing may lead to identification at a future date. 969. ZiBA, birth not found. 970. ?JoHN. Perhaps no such child in this family.

THOMAS' MANNING (Phineas,^ Joliu,^ Saml.,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1764, June 15, at Stafford, Ct. A Rev- olutionary soldier. He enlisted at Stafford, 1781, Feb. 2, under Capt. Asahel Hodge and Col. Isaac Sherman, in thie 5th Ct. regt., and served to June, 1783. He at once re-enlisted, and served under Capt. Benton and Col. Butler until Nov., 1783, He applied 18 ■Jl i THE MANNlXn FAAriLY. for and received a pension, 1832, Aug. 7, at which time he was living in Clermont Co., Ohio. He did not go there until of middle age, and his residence during the early years of his married life is unknown. Descendants believe that his children were born in Connecticut, and this is probable. Some one named Thomas ^Manning hired a farm in Sheffield, Berkshire Co., Mass., 1799, Nov. 25, on the west side of Timber Hill. The lease was for ten years, but this he transferred, ISOl, Feb. 12, to Nathaniel Noble, Jr., and doubtless left town. It is believed that this was the Thomas Manning of the present section, but it cannot be affirmed. In Ohio he settled on Ten Mile Creek, near Amelia. Clermont Co., on an improved farm, and there passed the rest of his life. He m. Anna Todd. (One descendant gives her name as Elizabeth Ann, but the others say Anna.) She was b. 17G3, June 15, and, it is believed, at Litchfield, Ct. Her father was, it is said, a phy- sician. Thomas Manning and his wife both died 1853, Dec. 22, he at 11 A.

JOHN' MANNING (John,^ John,^ John," Saml.,-'' Wm.,2 Wm.') b. 17r)3, July 5, at Lancaster, Mass. A Revolu- tionary soldier. He enlisted 1776, May 30, and served under Capt. Wm. Warner and Col. Josiah Whitney until Nov. 1. He ma}' have served further, but, if so, the fact cannot be established at present. He resided at Lancaster, and probably occupied the liouse in which his father had previously lived, but only as a ten- ant, as his mother seems to have owned the building. He may have been a saddler, like his father, and doubtless cultivated the land about the house. Besides this, the inventory of his estate shows that he had 15 acres of land " over the river," in his own right, but neither the purchase nor sale of this tract is found on record. It establislies his calling as that of a farmer. He loft an insolvent estate. He m. Mercy .

She united with the First Church, 1794. She d. 1827, Nov. 7 ; John Manning d. 1793, Oct. 16, of ''slow fever," both at Lancaster.

A Revolu- tionai'y soldier. He was under Capt. Samuel Sawyer and Lt.-Col. John Whitcomb in a command that marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, and re-enlisted under Capt. P2phi"aim Rich- ardson and Col. Whitcomb. During this term he was at the battle of Bunker Hill.

His name last appears on the rolls 1780, Apr. 1, but he may have served longer. His captains, at various times, were Joseph Ilodgkins, Manassah Sawyer and, for a second time, Ilodgkins. Bigelow's regt. was at the battles of Stillwater, Saratoga and Monmouth, and with Washington's army during the memorable winter at "Valley Forgo. Israel was early made a corporal, and appears on the rolls to the end of his service with this title. In Shays' rebellion, 1787, he served the Commonwealth as ensign in Capt. John Whiting's CO., of Col. P^benezer Lovell's regt. lie settled as a farmer at Sterling (which had been a part of Lancaster until its own incor- poration in 1781), and, probably about 1799, removed to the neighboring town of Holden, where, 1810, Jan. 26, he purchased 7o acres and 27 rods of land for $155. This farm he retained until 1819, Feb. 2, when he sold it for S600 to Samuel Daman. In 1822, Jan. 22, Daman sold it to Abel ^Manning and Josiah Ball, respectively son and son-in-law of Israel, and the premises are now occupied by Israel Manning Ball, son of Josiah.

Samuel' came to this country as early as 1636; was freeman, 1638; surveyor; commissioner for the settlement of church and town at Woburn, and selectman. Israel Manning was known in his later years as " Captain " Manning. As the title does not appear on any known roll, it is presumed it was acquired in militia service.

A Revolutionary soldier. He fought at Bunker Hill in 1775, it is said, but this ser- vice has not been found on the State Rolls. In 1776 he was under Capt. Wm. Warner and Col Whitney, and, in 1777, under Capt. John White and Col. Job Cushing. In three different cases his name appears on as many distinct rolls with Capt. Andrew Haskell and Col. Asa Whitcomb as his commanders. All these rolls are undated, and, until the State authorities complete their work on Revolutionary records, the dates cannot be known. Probably this term was subsequent to those first mentioned, and Peter's service may have been of long duration. He and his wife went to Towu- send in 1785, March, where, with the exception of a brief resi- dence at Pepperell, he always resided. In a deed of 1800, Apr. 30, his residence is given as Pepperell, and again in a deed of 1805, Dec. 31, which seems to iudicate the length of his stay in that town. He was "of Townsend" in 1798, and in 180G, and at all times before and after. He bought land somewhat extensively in both towns, but may not have cultivated it. He was a saddler by trade, and followed that occupation throughout his life. Tradi- tion at Townsend certifies that his wife was an accomplished 278 THE MANNING FAMILY. " Horseback rider." She probably used a saddle of bis own make. Their home in the latter town was in the village called Townsend Harbor. After his death the house was long the home of Charles Emery, and is now occupied by Lawrence Morgan. Peter's shop was in the same building. Of him the history of Townsend says he was "a polite gentleman, a skillful mechanic and a good singer ; but he rebelled against the practice of alternate reading and sing- ing the lines of the hymn, which was the custom in public service on the Sabbath. Through his inlluence that fashion was laid aside." He was at times on committees to conduct singing schools. He was elected sealer of leather, 1787; school committee, 1798, and one of a committee to "reckon with the town treasurer," 1794 and 1827. In 1790 he was grand juryman. He m. at Lancaster, 1784, June 20, Kebecca Carter, b. at that town 1756, Dec. 25, according to the Carter genealogy, and her age as given on her gravestone corroborates this, but the Lancaster records say she was baptized as an infant, 1756, Jan. 11.

Atone time he taught singing-schools. He was a tanner by trade, but in his later years, lived on a farm. He was active in the militia, and in that service held the office of captain when in Mason.

SAMUEL^ MANNING (Saml.,6 Wm.,^ John," Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1778, May 28, at Cambridge, Mass. He grad- uated at Harvard College, 1797, and became a physician. As such he practiced in several places in the State, having resided at Cambridge, Westford, Billerica, Harvard and Lancaster. In 1801, Apr. 1, he bought 10 acres of laud iu Westford for $2,250. This property he sold, 1805, Aug. 27, after he removed to Billerica. His next residence was Cambridge, after which he was at Harvard, and then he bought land and buildings, 1810, May 19, in Lancas- ter and located thereon. He made several other purchases iu the last-named town. In 1806 he was appointed prison physician to Cambridge prison. At Lancaster he was selectman for 5 years, 1813-17, aud was several times appointed by the town to serve its interests on special committees. In 1814 he was chosen with 4 other men to deliberate and act upon a projected petition to the legislature relative to certain unsatisfactory laws, and, in 1817, was on a committee to hire a master for the Latin grammar school. It is not found that any sketch of his life ever has been written, and it has been exceedingly diflicult to discover material for such a sketch. Although some repetition Avill result it maybe well, in the lack of more definite data, to trace his movements approximately by means of available iufoimatiou. He was at Westford, 1801, Apr. 1, when he purchased land there ; also Sep. 282 THE MANNING TfaMILY. 15 of that yeur, wheu his marriage iutentiou was ''published;" also, in 1802, Jul}' 6, when his son Samuel was born. He was at Billerica, 1805, Aug. 27, when he sold his estate in Westford, and, doubtless, 1804, Oct. 7, when his wife joined the Billerica church. He was at Cambridge in 1806, when he was appointed prison phy- sician, and when his daughter Mary W. was born. He was of Harvard, 1808, Aug. 26, when his son William was born; also, in 1810, Mixy 19, when he bought property in Lancaster. He was of Lancaster continuously from J 811, Nov. 26, to 1821, Apr. 24, and probably somewhat before the first of these two dates. Prior to 1821, July 14, he removed to Cambridge, and there resided un- til hisdeath. He m. 1801, Sep. 29, Lucy Cogswell,!). 1778, Nov. 5, at Westford; d. 1817, Oct. 4, at Lancaster, where she is buried in the ^Middle Cemetery. In 1816 she was admitted to the Lancas- ter church by certificate from Billerica. Her ancestry was Jere- miah'' and Sarah (Fletcher), her parents, of Ipswich and Westford; Caleb"* and Mary (Tyler), of Ipswich, Littleton and Westford; Adam^ and Abigail, of Ipswich; Wm.- aud Susanna (Hawkes), of Ipswich, and John' and Elizabeth (Thompson) Cogswell. John' was of Westbury Leigh, Co. Wilts, Eng. ; a wealthy manu- facturer ; came to America in 1635, and was freeman in 1636. Dr. Manning m.

It is said that she lived past the age of 90. Dr. Manning d. at Cambridge, of "pulmonic fever," 1822, Oct. In the town record of his death the day of the month is not given. The Boston WeeJdy Messenger of Tliursday, Oct. 24, in the death notice, says he died "on Friday last." This would be Oct. 18. The AYorcester Spy says " on the 11th inst." On account of the then existing connection of AVilliam Manning (cousin of Dr. Man- ning) with the ^/>^, this would seem to be the more reliable source of inforn)aiion were it not that the Spy repeals the error of the several Boston papers in giving the doctor's age as 42 when he really was 44.

WILLIAM' MANNING (Josepb,^ Wm.,^ John," Saml.,3 \ym.,2 Wm.!) b. 1767, Apr. 15, at Provideuce, R. I. He resided, during his manhood years, in Massachusetts, at Boston, Worcester and Cambridge. He was a printer and publisher of long experience. At Boston, before 1796, he formed a partnership with James Loring under the firm name of Manning & Loring, and, acquiring a Avide and highly favorable reputation as printers and booksellers, they continued the business until 1813, or a little later. Their location was on Spring Lane. In 1814 he went to Worces- ter and, in October, succeeded Isaac Sturtevant as publisher of the Massachusetts Sj^y, a highly successful weekly newspaper. His connection began with the issue of Oct. 26, which was " Pub- lished by William Manning on the Public Square near the Court House." Later issues state that it was published "On Court Hill, near the Court House" (probably the same location) . Afterwards, it was removed to the south corner of Thomas and Main sts. From an editorial in the above-mentioned issue, written by Mr. Manning concerning his policy, the following extract is taken : " As a print- er and publisher, he engages to perform, with promptitude and fidelity, all the duties which the public have a right to expect of him ; and pledges himself to devote so much time and attention to his paper, as shall be necessary to render it interesting, amusing, and profitable to readers. Having ever been a firm and undeviat- ing Federalist, and a warm friend of his country's prosperity and happiness, it will be his zealous endeavor to disseminate sound political maxims, and to spread before the public correct political information. He will spare neither labor nor expense, in render- ing the Spy the vehicle of the latest and most important intelli- gence ; and he trusts he shall soon complete such arrangements, as will enable him to make considerable improvement in this de- partment of the paper." Considering the degree to which news- paper work had then developed, the ,6^:'y, under his management, 284 THE MANNING FAMH.V. pleased the eye and mind. He was sole publisher until 1819, Oct. 27, wheu George A. Trumbull became his partner under the tirm name of Manning & Trumbull. The latter retired in 1822, with the issue of Jan. IG. From 1822, Jan. 23, to July 17 of the same year the publisher's son, Samuel B. Manning, was a partner, and the firm name was William Manning & Son. From the last- given date Mr. INIanning was again sole publisher until 1823, Aug. 6, when he severed his own connection with the Spy. A month later, or on Sep. 3, 1823, was issued the first number of another newspaper, the Massachusetts Yeoman, of which, according to the columns of said paper, Austin Denny was editor and publisher, and William Manning, printer. It was produced from iiis press for nearly five years. After 1824 the paper bore a permanent im- print to this effect: "Printed by William Manning, for Austin Denny, editor and proprietor." In 1828 Mr. Denny became asso- ciated with two partners, and Mr. Manning's connection with the Yeoman ceased with the issue of Mch. 29. He continued as a book and general printer, but soon removed to Boston, for his name reappears in the directory of that city for 1828, and again as a printer. He was subsequently appointed Messenger to the Governor and Council. The date of this appointment has been given as 1883, but the directory records him as a printer up to and including 1834. He held the office of messenger until 1842, inclusive, and then, at the age of 75, retired from all active duties of life and passed his remaining years with his family in Cambridge, where he d. 1849, July 25. The Boston Weekly Mes- senger of Aug. 1 says : " We regret to announce the death of Mr. William Manning, the oldest printer in the State, who departed this life at his residence, Cambridgeport, Wednesday morning, in the 84th year of his age. Mr. Manning will be remembered as a mem- ber of the firm of Manning & Loring, publishers in Spring Lane, in this City. He was formerly messenger to the Governor and Council at the State House ; and in that, as well as every capacity in life, he acquitted himself with honesty, fidelity and ability. He was in truth an honest man." The Transcript said : " He has added another to the long list of printers who have gone down to the grave with that best of epitaphs — 'God's noblest work, an hon- est man.'" He was esteemed by all ; was polite and considerate, and a gentleman both in appearance and character. He was atten- tive to church duties, and a ready speaker.

On the Lexington alarm of 1775, Apr. 19, he marched with the patriots, being under Capt. James llosley and Col. Wm. Prescott, and at once re-enlisted in, or was transferred to, Capt. Henry Farwell's co. of Prescott's regt. He was at the 280 THE MANXTXG FAMILY. battle of liimker Hill. In 1777 he was under Capt. James Hosley and Col. Jonathan Roed. It is probable that he served longer. There is service on the Revolutionary rolls under the name of John Manning which the compiler is not able to allot definitely to the several soldiers of the same name, and some of these terms doubtless belong to the subject of this sketch. After the war he set- tled in Ashby, where he was a farmer. Previous to its incorpora- tion in 1767, a portion of Ashby had been included within the limits of Townsend. He purchased land somewhat lai'gely ; 65 acres, 1780, Nov. '21, for £'J0, of Andrew Oliver, and othtr lots in 1784, '87, '88 and '95. He was enterprising, progressive and suc- cessful ; a devoted Christian and of unsullied character.

Third: To his grandch., Harriet N., Roxauna S. and Susan W., ch. of John Manning, Jr., deceased, $7 each, which "with what their father had before, as his receipt of Feb. 15, 1812, will show, is their full share."

WILLTARF MANNING (Saml.,6 Sanil.,5 John," Saml.,3 Wm.,~ Wm.i) b. 1756, Oct. 15, at Townsend, IVIass. A Revolutionary soldier. He enlisted at a date not learned, but was in service as early as 1776, Jan. 13, under Capt. Henry Haskell and Col. Prescott. Oct. 31, of the same year, lie was under Capt. Thomas "Warren and Col. Brooks, and in service at White Plains. From 1776, Dec. 14, to 1777, Mch. 5, he was under Capt. John Hartwell and Col. Dike, and he may have remained in this com- mand much longer. His full service is not known. There is duty credited to the name of "William Manning as late as 1779, but to which one of several men of the same name it belongs the compiler cannot tell. He had his father's farm, and always lived thereon in his native town. He was a Baptist in his religion, and an hon- ored citizen. In a time of severe scarcity of field products when he, unlike others, had a plentiful harvest, he was approached by a spec- ulator of the town who tried to purchase all he could spare, with a view of holding it until prices advanced yet higher, but William re- plied : " No ; you are not going to speculate on the hardships of the needy. "Whoever comes to me shall have something, and all shall be served alike ; you can have no more than your due share !" He was elected tithingman,1798 and 1818 ; highway surveyor, 1804, '07, '17; a member of the school committee, 1810, '18; one of a committee, 1815, to assist the tithiugmen in prosecuting persons guilty of breaking the Sabbath, and, 1818, was on a committee to arrange sundry affairs relating to the church.

SAMUEL^ MANNING (Saml.,^ Saml.,-^ John,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Win.') b. 1762, Nov. 24, at Townsend, Mass. He was highly educated for the time in which he lived, and taught school for several years, but finally went to Andover, Vt., and engaged as a farmer. In 1788, during which 3'ear he resided at New Ipswich, N. 11., lie and his brother Joel bought 200 acres of land in Andover. Tradition says they removed to the latter town in 1789. Their land, which lay on East Hill, they divided in 1795, and Samuel became sole owner of Lot 14 in the 2d range, which was purchased of Wm. Abbott, Jr., of N. H., for £36. This was his home until 1822, after which he resided a few years at Town- shend, Vt., but returned to Andover and passed the rest of his life there. In Andover he was elected selectman ; moderator, 1803 ; school trustee 1799-1821, or 23 years continuously ; and was jury- man 1793, '96, '97. He represented Andover in tiie Legislature in 1814, '16 and '18, and was a member of the Constitutional Con- vention of 1814. In 1799 he was on a committee to draft a peti- tion to the General Assembly, and, at other times, on other special committees. In 1792 lie was on a committee "to draw a sub- scription paper for the purpose of obtaining preaching the ensuing summer." He joined the Baptist church in the adjoining town of Chester in 1795, and was the first professor of that faith in An- dover ; and was active in founding the Baptist church estab- lished tliere in 1803. IIo was at once elected deacon, by which title he was ever after known. He was of strong character, and associated all of his earnest devotion with his religion. In old age he used to go from house to house, praying with his neighbors. DESCENDANTS OF AVILLIAM MANNING. 289 He left a name honored to the present day by residents of the town. He was appointed guardian of Alvin Adams, subsequent founder of the Adams Express Co., when the latter was early left an orphan ; and when Mr. Adams reached the age of 14 and had the power to choose his own guardian, he, to use his own words, "decided to retain the Deacon." There is ample evidence that Mr. Manning was fitted for a higher calling than that he followed. He had literary gifts, kept a journal of merit, and was the author of at least two published books, one of which dealt with Free Masonry. The other was entitled, "An Attempt to Reconcile the Doctrine of Election, Regeneration, and Salvation, by Grace alone, with the Free Agency, Ability, Accountability and Crimi- nality of Sinners : with remarks on the Turpitude of Original Sin."

Her brother Jabez had a son Jabez (b. 1792) who was a manufacturing jeweler and worker in silver. The latter subsequently took his son John (b. 1820, Nov. 18) into partnership under the firm name of J. Gorham & Son. In 1865 Mr. John Gorham incorporated the business as the "Gorham Manufacturing Co.," and when he retired, in 1877, over 600 work- men were employed. The company remain leaders in the silver trade. Amy Gorham's ancestry was Benj.^ and Abigail (Field), her parents, of Providence; Benj.'' and Bethiah, of Bristol and Providence; Col. Jabez^ and Hannah, of Bristol; Capt. John- and Desire (Howland), of Plymouth, Marshfield and Barnstable, Mass., and Ralph^ Gorham, the American founder, who came from Benefield, Eng., as early as 1637. Capt. John,- above, was select- man, deputy, constable, and a valiant soldier and commander in King Philip's war, leading his men on expeditions of danger and hard fighting.

JOEL' MANNING (Saml.,6 Saml.,^ John,-* Saml.,3 Wm.,- Wm.') b. 1764, Aug. 31, at Townsend, Mass. He -was re- siding at Lunenburg in 1788, and at Townsend in the early spring of 1789. but in the latter year he made the journey through the al- most unbroken wilderness to Andover, Vt., carrying all of his personal effects in an ox-cart. In Andover he and his brother Samuel had purchased land the previous year, a total of 200 acres, which hiy on East Hill. This land they divided in 1795, and he became sole owner of Lot 14 in the 3d range, which was originally bought of Samuel Hayward, of New Ipswich, N. H., for £35. Joel had learned the trade of a cooper in early life, and in Andover cultivated his farm, but a broader field of usefulness was before him. Andover was then in its infancy, and without a regular church or pastor. The preaching of Elder Aaron Leland, in the adjoining town of Chester, made Mr. Manning a firm IJaptist, and when a church of that faith was established in Andover, in 1803, he was one of its founders, and was soon after elected a deacon. He began to preach ; was for a time a missionary to Canada, but his future lay in Andover. There, 180G, Oct. 2, he was ordained pastor of the church, a position which he filled almost to the end of his life. It lay with him to build up the young church, and he succeeded so well that it has always remained the leading religious body of the town. " He was," says a biographical article, "a Calvinist of the straightest order, as firm and immovable in his convictions as the rocks which surrounded his mountain home, and honest enough to preach the doctrines of his creed in their most positive sense." He possessed an active temperament, stiong will and great energ}', and, as no cause ever lay dormant in which he was concerned, affairs of the church under his guiding hand re- DESCENDANTS OF WILLI AiAI MANNING. 291 ceived attention as thorough as it was conscientious. As a preacher he was earnest, logical and effective, as well as a strict disciplina- rian ; as a man he was straightforward, sincere and a good citizen, and in this dual capacity he exercised an influence upon the minds of his townspeople second to that of no one of his day. He was a captain in the regiment to which the Andover militia belonged, and it is said that his prayers on the mustei'-field " had never been surpassed for stirring eloquence and patriotism." He was a strong Anti-Mason, an Abolitionist, and a life-member of the Coloniza- tion Society founded by Henry Clay. He published a book in support of the tenets of Calvinism, of which the title has not been learned. He was known as " Elder" Manning, and by that name will long be remembered in the town of his adoption. He was elected selectman 1801, '02; treasurer 1804, '05; petit juryman, 1793 and six years after; and representative to the Legislature, 1812. After retiring from the pulpit he went to reside with his youngest son in the neighboring town of Ludlow.

Moses'^ and Sarah (Platts), of Rowley, and Humphrey' and Bridget Bradstreet. The latter, the American founders of the family, came from Ipswich, P^ng., in 1634, in the ship E^lizabeth, and settled in Ipswich, Mass. Rev. Joel Manning d. 1841, Mch. 5, at Ludlow.

He united with the Baptist church in Chester, 1799, Sep. 5, but was subsequently a Methodist. 292 THE MAXXING FAMILY.

He settled in Andover, Yt., living on East Hill, This was as early as 1792, in which year, Sep. 4, he bonght land of Frederick Rogers, Lot No. 15, in the 4th range, for £12. In 1794, Jan. 9, he purchased 200 acres more for £60. He sold three portions of 100 acres each, the last in 1796. In 1795 he had bought land in the adjoining town of Ludlow, which may have bordered his Andover (arm ; and he was a citizen of Ludlow for some years, but, according to a sketch of the Methodist church in Andover, he was residing in the last-named town in 1814 and 1816, and he certainly was in 1808. There he was a class-leader of the Methodist organization, and, in the lack of an edifice in which to worship, meetings were held at his house. He was a zealous leader and strict disciplinarian, and was in every sense the principal and guiding pillar of his church. There was no settled pastor, but preaching was supplied by a circuit minister who, when in town, made his home at Mr. Manning's, and the latter was his chief supporter and helper, and in his absence the meetings Avere conducted by Mr. Manning. The subject of this sketch believed firmly in the Methodist faith, and when his brother. Rev. Joel Manning, published a book in support of the Baptists, Joseph followed with one upholding his own faith. No copies of these books have been located by the present writer. Subsequent to 1817 Joseph removed to Binghamton, N. Y., and there resided until his death. There, too, he and his wife and at least one daughter were charter members of the first Methodist church organized in Binghamton, and his hospitality to preachers of that denomination was proverbial. He was a strong abolition- ist ; a man of sterling honesty and great clecisiou, and of marked character and influence in the community. At Andover he was elected school trustee in 1808. A carpenter and farmer. He m. Lydia Baldwin, a lady of eminent piety and many virtues, who d. 1849, Dec. 13, aged 74, according to family report. She was b. at Townsend, but her birth was not recorded. Possibly her age at death should have been given as 75, for she or an older sister of the same name was baptized as an infant 1774, Nov. 10. Perhaps this child died in infancy and was succeeded by our Lydia. Her ancestry was Jacob'* and Elizabeth (Lewis), her parents, of Town- send ; Jacob^ and Mary ( ) , of Townsend, Thomas- and Sarah (French), and Johui and Mary (Richardson) Baldwin, of Billerica, 294 THE MANNING FAMILY. wliere John' settled as early as 1655.

He was there in 1812 and 1817, but soon after returned to Billerica, where he afterwards lived. There he had a farm which adjoined Tewks- bury and Wilmington, on Shawshin river. He reared his children in habits of industry, himself setting the example. "He was," says an account, " an old-time, hard-working farmer whose motto was ' Attend to your work and you will not get into mischief.' " He always had the welfare of his family at heart, and never kept one of his children out of school a day, unless on account of sickness ; and when a teacher was unusually successful, and the school cor- respondingly prosperous, he would try to have the term length- ened by subscriptions, which was several times done.

It was built on that plan, it is said, though a more wealthy person claimed the design. In 1852 Samuel purchased a farm and removed to Wilmington. Later, he located at Haver- hill, where he had a milk- route, but in 1872 he returned to Wil- mington where he passed the rest of his life.

In 1794, Oct. 23, when he was residing in his native place, he bonght land and one-half of a dwelling house in Ashburnham, but perhaps never occupied it, for when he sold it, 1796, Jan. 14, he was liv- ing in Billerica. This property was purchased for £79 and sold for $250. In the latter year, June 9, he bought land in Chelms- ford and removed there. Other purchases followed. He sold a lot in 1798, and closed out his real estate holdings 1803, ]\Ich. 2, by three separate sales of that date, the aggregate price being $1,047.81. He then removed to Lyndeboro, N. H., proliably about May, 1803. In the latter year he made real estate purchases in Lyndeboro — Jan. 6, of Jonathan Parker, for $200, " the one- half of a sawmill" which Parker owned in partnership with Dea. John Farmer, on Scataquag river, with the one-half privilege of the yard and stream and tools, and, also, one-quarter acre of land on the southwest side of the river; and, as a second purchase in the same year, May 20, of the said Paiker for $35, one acre and one-quarter. In 1804, May 10, he bought 66 rods of land from the same man. He sold his interest in the sawmill 1806, Feb. 19, to Eleazer Everett, who had previously acquired the half formerly' held by Farmer. Mr. .Manning was a cabinet-maker by trade, and was mentioned either by that term or as a " joiner" in all of his deeds from 1794 to 1808. In his final years, however, he "kept the Parker tavern " in Lyndeboro. In the settlement of liis estate DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 301 he was termed both an innholder and a housewright, iiidicatino- that he had beeu following both callings. Desks that he made are still in existence, one being in the possession of his grandson Sol- omon Manning, of Bedford, N. H. He died in Lj'ndeboro, after a few hours illness of spotted fever, a short time before IMch. 12, 1812, when administration was granted on his estate. No record of his death has been found, but the statement that it was at about the same time that his brother lost two children by that disease (Feb. 12-J3) is reasonable. Eleazer J^verett was administrator. Mr. ]\[anuing m. 1796, Apr. 26, Lucy Andrews, b. 1774, June 1 1. at Carlisle, Mass.

ASA7 MANNING (Jacob,'' Jacob,'' Wm.,^ Saml.,^ AVm.,2 Wni.i) b. 1780, Sep. 23, at Billerica, Mass. There he made his first home, on a farm, but removed, probably in 1806, to 302 THE .MAXMXf; FAMILY. Lyndeboro, X. II., where he and his father had jointly purchased a new farm. This was his home until 1837, when it was sold and another homestead was bought '' on the other side of Lyndeboro mountain." If the date of tliis change has been correctly given through tradition the new home was that acquired 1837, Dec. 15, of Sanuicl Jones ''in the north part" of the town. There he passed the rest of his life. He and his wife were members of the Congre- gational church in Lyndeboro. He was several years selectman. and served at least two terms in the Legislature. At Billerica he was commissioned sergeant of Artillery, 2d Brigade, 3d Division, whereof John Kidder was major, 1805, Apr. 1. His industry and business ability are attested to by the fact that when he and his father purchased the farm in Lyndeboro they held it subject to a mortgage of $1,700, and that Asa fully discharged this 1811, Apr. 29, despite the fact that, in the intervening time, he had purchased the rights of his brother and sisters in tlieir father's estate at some expense. He was a kind husband and father, a good citizen, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Upon the early death of his brother Jacob, the latter's children found a home with Asa Manning, the two sons remaining until they were able to care for themselves; and other children received a home for a time. In 1812, while visiting relatives in Chelmsford, IMass., Mrs. ^Manning dreamed that she saw her two little girls, Olive and Sarah, dead, and lying in one coffin. The dream was so vivid that she short- ened her visit. Soon after her return both these children were stricken with spotted fever and died in the same night, a few hours apart. Ii^ach was ill just 18 hours. They were buried in one coffin. The mother had the same fever but recovered. Mr. IManningleft a will whereby he gave to his giandchildren Olive Theresa and Henry Lyman Fuller $8 each ; to his own son Sherebiah all his real estate in Lyndeboro, farming tools, etc., the son to pay all debts and the above legacies ; to his children Sherebiah, Lydia and Sarah Jane the beds, bedding, etc., in equal division; to his son Joseph and daughter L3alia equal parts of the proceeds of the sale of all his cattle and sheep, which, he directed, should be dis- posed of for this purpose ; and " I give and bequeath to my son Asa Manning, if he should be living and ever return, all the ad- vances which I hold against him and live dollars to be paid by my executors."

His name often appears on deeds and other public records of his day, and there it was more frequently written with the mid- dle name spelled Holmes than Homes. The form here used is given on the authority of his grandson who bore exactly the same name, and who asserted positively that both he and his grandfather spelled the name without the " 1." INIoreover, the elder man ap- pears iu the census of 1789 as " W. Homes Manning." This point is enlarged upon because the name may yet have use in determin- ing the maiden name of his mother. He was called, not by his first name, but by the second ; hence, the form in the census rec- ord. The statement has been made that ho was in the Revolution, which is rendered doubtful bv his age and the absence of his name from all known rolls. Other descendants say he was in the war of 1812, but this cannot be affirmed. His portrait in uniform of some 308 THE MANNING FAMILY. kind is in the possession of bis grandson, Mr. A. K.

Strong as lieutenant of a Hattalion. In private life he was a baker. He resided chiefly in his native town, but was in Boston, 1807-13, on Prince street.

Vols., which went to the Dept. of the Gulf and joined Gen. Banks' expedition against Port Hudson. He had been appointed second sergeant, and, at various times, was de- tailed as Acting Quartermaster and Adjutant, which positions he creditably filled. Soon after the second assault on Port Hudson 21 '■^22 TIIK MANNING FAMILY. (1863, Juuc 14) be was appointed lieutenant by Gov. Buckingham. He was faithful and cheerful in performance of duty, and, when he was commissary-sergeant, was conspicuous for his bravery in car- ing for the wounded and dying on the field of battle. He had early become a Christian, and, at Norwich, was an earnest worker in church and Sunday school; and, during the war, served at times as chaplain of his regiment. After the surrender of Port Hudson the 26th was ordered home to be mustered out by reason of expi- ration of its term of service. Lieut. Manning arrived at Noi wich apparently in good health, but was almost at once prostrated by malarial fever, contracted in service, and d. 1863, Aug. 17, the very day the muster-out papers were dated. His integrity and general qualities Avon for him the esteem and affection of his as- sociates at home and in camp and battle. He was unmarried. 732.

WALTERS MANNING (Eliphalet,^ Eliphalet,-' Eliph- alet,'' Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.") b. about 1786 or 1788, probably at Tewksbury, Mass. But little has been leai-ned of him. The notice of his marriage, in 1812, gives his residence as Wilmington, while a deed of 1811 gives it as Tewksbury. This deed refers to a farm, lying partly in both towns, and of which his purchase is not on record, but which he then mortgaged for $600. The sale of this farm has not been found. He m. 1812, Jan. 16, Lydia French. Tradition says she was a dau. of Thomas and Lydia (Scarlett) French, which is doubtless correct. Mrs. Lydia Man- ning d. 1819, Mch. 24, at Tewksbuiy. Walter's after history is unknown, although another deed, to be mentioned below, suggests a possibility there indicated. The number of his children is unknown. An aged relative has given the list as Walter, Charles, Lydia, Thomas, William, Sylvester and Letitia, but in attempt- ing to account for said children she gave particulars which proved that she had, not the children, but the brothers and brothers-in-law of Walter in mind, thus casting grave doubts on the entire list. In any case, seven children can hnrdly have been born in the seven years of the above term of married life, and if Wnlter married a second time, no record to that effect has been found. On the other hand, several relatives have asserted with confidence that there w'as but one child, Latitia (mentioned below) . The truth evidently lies between these extremes. Mid- dlesex Co. deed 345-367, is one whereby, 1835, Sep. 9, Walter Manning, Jr., " of Cortlandville, Cortland Co., New York," sells to Loammi I'rench, of Tewksbury, for $20, all the rights of said Walter, Jr., in the estate of Lydia French, late of Tewksbury, de- ceased, widow of Thomas French, mentioning Thomas French's farm in Tewksbury. This proves conclusively that there was one child besides Latitia, while the fact that no evidence can be found to show that any other person of the name of Manning disposed of like rights, seems to prove with like conclusiveness that there was only one child then living. Possibly Walter, senior, died in Mass.; perhaps he accompanied his son to N. Y. A letter ad- dressed to the postmaster of the present Cortland, N. Y. (assumed 330 THE MANNING FAMILY. to be the same as Cortlaiuh-ille) has Ijiou^ht back the reply that the family is unknown llicre. Ch. of Walter and Lydia : 1425. Wai/ikk; was in Corthiiiclville, N.

He passed his minority at work on bis father's farm, getting only a few months' schooling each winter. About 1806 he went to Woburn to learn the trade of a tanner, and there resided until about 1837, when he went West. He was 13 days on the journey from Boston to Cincinnati, via boat, stage and canal, as follows : By stage from Boston to Providence ; thence by boat to New York, and, in the same way, to Amboy, N. J. ; thence by railroad to Bordentown ; thence by stage to Pittsburg, Pa., and down the river to Cincinnati. Not liking the country he returned in a few months to Woburn. For years afterward, and until 1859, he car- ried on his trade of tanner in and around Boston, and also had a store where he dealt in leather, with his son connected with the business, under the firm name of Uriah Manning & Son, in Bos- ton. This store was at 25 Ferry street from 1841 to 1848 ; next at 69 Fulton street until 1857, and, lastly, at 14 Blackstone street until his death. For a few years he resided at 46 Billerica st., but, after 1846, at Woburn. He joined the First Church at Wo- burn in 1817 ; was superintendent of the Sunday school from May, 1825, until he went West ; and in 1828 was chosen deacon and filled the office until his death with the exception of the period 1837-1848.

She d. 1867, Feb. 8, at Portville, N. Y. Squire Manning was killed by the limb of a fall- ing tree, 1830, Feb. 24 (another account says Feb. 22). With the best of intentions on the part of descendants, and careful con- sideration on their part of the facts relating to such children as are deceased, it has not been possible to get satisfactory dates of birth of said children in fall. Some of the reported dates conflict and cannot but be wrong, and the exact order of birth has not been made clear to the compiler. Ch. : 1685. Harvey Peter, b. 1807, Aug. 5, in Vt., probably at Rutland. 1686. JoNATH.iN Baker, b. about 1808, in Pa. 1687. Happalona, b. (according to the memory of her daughter, Mrs. Carter) in or near Couder sport. Pa., 1805, Nov. 22. The year must be wrong, for the family had not then left Vt., and the mother of the family was of tender years in 1805.

He was a soldier of the Conn, militia in the war of 1812, and was in active service in 1814, probably near New London. He was a farmer, re- siding for one or two years on the Windham road in Franklin. He returned to Lebanon and, about the time of his second marriage, built the house which was his home for the rest of his life, where his grandson Nathaniel Manning now (1901) lives. "When the railroad was projected about 1845 he, in contrast with the attitude 366 THE MANNING FAMILY. of the majority, was in its favor, the result being that it was lo- cated through his farm, rather than in neighboring valleys. After its construction he acted as the agent at Lebanon, a service that was, from the financial condition of the company, not so much that of a paid employee as a friendly accommodation to both the road and the public. In character he was progressive in his ideas, inde- pendent in thought, and firm in his decisions. He was not chosen to any public office, but was employed a great deal as administra- tor of estates, one of them being that of Col. Jacob Kingsbury of Franklin, which required his going to Ohio to look up real estate interests, when the means of travel were the stage-coach and canal- boat.

He at- tended Bacon Academy, at Colchester, and at the age of about 20 began the study of medicine, being thus engaged for two years DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNmG. 367 with Dr. Hutchinson, of Lebanon, and one year with Dr. White, of Cherry Valley, N. Y. At eighteen, and at intervals during his medical study, he taught school. In 1811 he went to Ohio on horseback, arriving at Youngstown, July 13. He began to practice medicine, and, in 1812, as surgeon of the 1st Regt., 3d brigade, 4th division of Ohio militia, on Col. Rayen's staff, went on the frontier and was successively stationed at Cleveland, Huron and Lower Sandusky; and returned to Youngstown 1813, Mch. By unwearied attention and great kindness he had gained the affection of the soldiers of the regiment, most of whom were from his sec- tion, and on his return his practice occupied all his time. In 1815 he established a drug-store in company with Col. C. B. "Wick, in which he was interested for some time. In 1819, and again in 1843, he was representative from Ti'umbull Co. to the Legislature, and was Stale Senator in 1824. He was elected associate Judge of the Common Pleas in 1835, and served 7 years. In 1854 he was chosen president of the Mahoning County Bank, which office he was still holding as late as his 80th year; and, 1862, upon its or- ganization, was also chosen president of the First National Bank of Youngstown, but, in 1866, he declined a re-election, though he remained a director. He had much to do, both as a citizen and as president of the Mahoning Co. Bank, with building up the indus- trial enterprises of his adopted place of residence.

The latter was then considered the most desperate ever fought on this continent, the loss on either side amounting to nearly one-quarter of those engaged. Mr. Manning is quoted as saying, in later years, of this battle : "There were some 45 of us Norwich boys who fought at Lundy's Lane, some of whom laid down their lives on that bloody field, and all fought with grEY, b. 1842, Mch. 10.

"William Ellis, b. 1846, Mch. 3. 969. ZIBA8 MANNING (Wm.,^ Phmens,^ John,^ Sauil.," Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wrn.i). The date and place of his birth are im- kuown. The date was not far from 1787, and the place may have been Berkshire Co., Mass. In manhood he resided at Whitehall, N. Y., and was captain of the sloop Independence in 1811, and, later, was pilot of the steamer Phoenix, a boat running on Lake Champlain, between Whitehall and St. Johns, Canada. He lost his life, 1819, Sep. 5, by drowning, when the Phoenix accidentally caught fire and was burned on the night above named. The steamer, at the time, was about 14 miles from Burlington, Vt., 4 miles from Colchester Point, and 2 miles from Providence Island. The fire began at about 1 o'clock at night. One row-boat put away, filled with passengers, and the second, and last, was lowered and being filled when an occupant cut the rope which held it to the steamer. It drifted off, leaving 11 persons on the rapidly-burning Phoenix, of whom one was Ziba Manning. Some of those already in this second row-boat rebelled against returning for the imperilled 11, thinking the boat would be overladen (though printed accounts of that period state there was room for all), and these wretches car- ried their point by threats of violence. The 11 were left and both boats were rowed to Providence Island and their passengers landed. They then returned to the Phoenix. The steamer had become a mass of flames, and the eleven unfortunates had thrown tables, planks, etc., overboard and committed themselves to the waters of the lake with only such frail support.

He lacked the advantages of wealth to help him in life, but had a de- gree of natural ability and energy which served him as well. After acquiring what education he could he taught school in the towns around his native place, and by these and other efforts worked his way through Brown University, graduating in 1817. He studied divinity with Hev. Nathanael Emmons, D.D.,of Franklin, Mass., and then preached in various places with success. About 1819 he preached atGotfstown, N. H., to a small, feeble church which had been nine years without a pastor ; and a revival followed which re- sulted in 100 conversions. He did not settle there, but w^ent to Vermont as a missionary, and labored as such at Plymouth, Wind- sor Co. A still greater revival followed, extending to other towns ; and he received ordination as the first minister of Plymouth, 1823, Nov. 20.

In 1823 he went to Maryland, studied law at Baltimore, and was admitted to the bar about 1825. His record as a member of the legal profession was of high order. He was commissioned by the Governor of the State as colonel, and commanded the militia dur- ing the great riot in 1831, which finally suppressed the mob. DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 397 About 1837 he went to Missouri with the intention of practicing there, but his boxes of books were lost in the Ohio river, and he settled a few miles from Palmyra and engaged in farming on an extensive scale. In 1841 he removed to St. Louis, resumed the practice of his profession and became prominent at the bar of that city. In 1844 he returned to Baltimore, where he again prac- ticed law. He always refused political positions. He entered the service of the Baltimore & Oliio railroad as auditor in 1852. In 1855 he became partner in the Avalon Iron and Nail Works, situated a few miles from Baltimore, and was senior member of the firm of Manning & Co. He was actively engaged in this busi- ness at the time of his death. His classical liuowledge was of a superior order; few could equal him as a scholar. He was a student as long as he lived.

He did not finish his studies there, but entered the University of Maryland, at Baltimore, and graduated there in 1833. He re- 398 THE MANNING FAMILY. mained for a year doing professional work in tlie hospital connected with the almshouse and insane asylum at Baltimore, receiving an additional diploma therefor. He then went South and practiced for some years in Ky., Tenn. and La. In 1837 he went to Michi- gan, and practiced for ten years at Niles and Dearborn ; most of the time at the former place, where he also had a drug-store. In 1847, through the influence of Gov. Cass, he was appointed U. S. Post-Surgeon at Fort Brady, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., also acting as Government surgeon for the Chippewa Indians living near that place. In 1857 he removed with his family to Avalou, Md., about nine miles from Baltimore, to take charge of the nail and iron works located there, which had been purchased by himself and his brothers, but, in consequence of the troubles preceding the civil war, returned to Michigan in 1859. Shortly after the war, and before the property had recovered from the consequent deprecia- tion, the Avalon Mills, with the village, were completely swept away by a sudden flood in the Patapsco river, and Dr. Manning never realized a dollar from his investment. After 1859 he prac- ticed medicine at Detroit, Niles, Dearborn, Birmingham and Ypsilanti, Mich., until impaired health caused his retirement from general practice in 1870 ; about which time he received an appoint- ment from the Mich. Central R. R., which he retained until his death. He eschewed politics, and never allowed his name to be used in connection with any office. He was generous to a fault, and never would press a poor creditor for payment ; always genial and good-natured ; a conversationalist of rare powers, and be- loved by all who became intimate with him.

JOSEPH C0GSAVELL8 MANNING (Saml.,^ Saml.,6 Wm.,'^ Johu,^ Saml.,^ Wm.,'2 Wm.i) b. 1812, Sep. 13, at Lancas- ter, Mass. He was educated at the academies in Lancaster and Lexington, and began his business career at about the age of 15 in the hardware store of Lane & Reed, Dock sq., Boston. When about 20 he removed to Baltimore, Md., where he was first en- gaged as bookkeeper, and then as paying teller in the banking house of Cohen & Co. About 1838 he formed a partnership with Hushes Armstead in the hardware trade ; and was later in busi- ness with S. S. Lee and Howell & Poor & Manning & Co., their line being a general iron and coal shipping and commission busi- ness. From 1850 to 1857 he owned and managed the Avalon iron and nail works, on the Patapsco river, about nine miles from the cit}^ on the B. & O. Railroad. In the financial crisis of 1857 he met with reverses from which he never fully recovered. In relig- ion he was a Unitarian. He was an honest, straightforward, gen- erous-hearted man of strong character, and much beloved b}' all who knew him.

Wm.,^ John," Saml.,^ AVm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1817, Feb. 13, at Lancas- ter, Mass. He was educated in his native State, but, at about the age of 19, went to Baltimore, Md., and made that State his per- manent home. On arriving there he entered the service of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, then in its infancy, as a civil engineer, and began a career of activity, usefulness and success which made his name widely known. He was closely connected with the above- mentioned railroad for nearly 50 j'ears, was engaged in all the great engineering works constructed by it, and many of them were designed by him. He was actively employed on the preliminary engineering work of the B. & O.'s Philadelphia extension, and superintended the soundings of the Susquehanna river and the preliminaries for the great bridge over that waterway at Garrett Island. He was associated in running the line of the Reading rail- road, and, also, the Pittsburg and Connellsville railroad, both of which are remarkable feats of civil engineering skill. In 1847-9, inclusive, he was in Ireland, where he built the Limerick & AVater- ford R. 11. He did a good deal of general railroad engineering in the U- S., and was one of the staff of engineers who constructed the Hoosac Tunnel, in Mass. When, in 1857, it was decided to supply Baltimore with water from Jones' falls, direction of the work, after the surveys for the reservoirs and water- works, was en- trusted to him, and the dams, conduits and reservoirs at Hamp- den, Mount Royal and Lake Roland were constructed by him.

He was a farmer by occupation, but was well educated, of literary tastes, a great reader and a student. He accumulated a library' of some size, and, being of an investigating turn of mind, with a disposi- tion to inquire into the cause and effect of things, and a habit of weighing his own and others' ideas, his course of reading dealt not alone with the current events of the day but with subjects above the ordinary level. After his marriage he resided for a time at Townshend, Vt. ; then for ten years or more at Land- grove, but, in 1839, he removed to AYarwick, Mass., and there spent the few remaining months of his life.

After obtain- ing the foundation of his education he entered Union College, Sche nectady, N. Y., and graduated in 1818, sharing the first honors with such classmates and friends as Bishop Potter, Bishop Doane, and Sidney Breeze, Judge of the Supreme Court of Illinois, who al- ways spoke of Mr. Manning as " the mathematician of the class." After graduation he had ciiarge of the Chester Academy at Ches- ter, Vt., for a time, but, the following year, turned his face to- ward the expanding West. He passed one winter at Buffalo, and 414 THE MANNENO FAMIIV. then resumed his journcj'. After leaving Lake Erie he was obliged, for want of better facilities, to travel on foot through the wilder- ness, at times following an old Indian trail, and, as the settlements and pioneer cabins were few and widely separated, night often overtoolc him miles away from any white man's home ; bnt the In- dians proved friendly and hospitable, welcomed him at their camp- fires, and, at parting, shared with him their parched corn and venison. He eventually arrived at St. Louis, and studied law in the office of Judge Carr. Subsequently he went to Illinois, where he located and practiced his profession for a number of years at Brownsville, the county seat of Jackson Co. (since obliterated by a disastrous fire), and the birthplace of his children. When the Illinois and ^Michigan Canal was projected, in 1836, he was ap- pointed by Gov. Duncan as Secretary of the Board of Commis- sioners, and from that time until his death he was interested in, and, in an olficial capacity, connected with that enterprise of im- provement. He resided in Chicago, 1836-38, and then in Lock- port, Will Co.. to which place the canal office had been transferred. During the financial panic of 1840-45 all work on public improve- ments ceased, and Illinois found its credit impaired to such an ex- tent that the circulating medium, the " canal scrip," was worth but fifty cents on the dollar. Mv. Manning retained confidence in his native State, and, in this crisis, the people of Illinois profited largely by his great experience as a careful, painstaking public man. He received the depreciated currency for his salary, and laid it by in full faith that, in time, it would be redeemed. The Legislature finally passed a relief law, allowing all scrip-holders to purchase canal lands and lots with the scrips, at par. Some of these lots were in Chicago, where Mr. Manning made some purchases which finally proved to be very valuable, and thus laid the foun- dation for a future competence. As a man he was simple in his tastes, modest and unassuming, but an active, influential member of society, as far as possible aiding in all educational and benevo- lent enterprises, both of church and state, and having the public good always in view. He was a member of the ^lelliodist Episcopal Church, and a liberal giver to the poor. His influence was marked, and he was recognized as one of the leading minds of the North- west. The last eight years of his life he resided chiefly with his daughter, Mrs. Fish, at Joliet. He m. 1823, Sep. 9, Diza Jenkins, b. 1806, Oct. 15; d. 1861, Nov. 27.

He resided in his native toAvn until 1838, when he went to Illinois. After a short time he and his brother-in-law, J. H. Stickney, started in their own conveyance and prospected over the prairies of that State, and the then little explored territory of Wis- consin, resting for the winter at Waukesha. The following spring Mr. Manning attended the territory's first land-sale, at Milwaukee, and, later, invested largely in cattle and other live stock. The attractions of the old houie, however, were strong for Mrs. IVIan- ning, and, in the fall, the family i-eturned to the old " middle- town " of Andover. He there engaged as a merchant, and re- mained until 1851, when he went to IMount Tabor and was for several years in the lumber trade. Later, he purchased a farm in Weston, where the rest of his life was passed. He was a man of marked characteristics, of intelligence and honesty ; and united a strong will with quiet manners and a ready appreciation of the 41() THE MANNING FAMILY. humorous side of life.

He was educated at Ludlow, Brandon and Chester, Vt., and at New Hampton, N. H. After leaving school as a student he was a teacher for several years. He began the service of the Baptist church as a minister at Tioga and Nichols, N. Y., in 1836, as an associate of Rev. Philander Taylor ; was ordained at Sniithsboro, 1837, May 5, and located at Smithville as pastor of tlie Baptist church at that place. In 1841, April, he left New York and removed to Waukesha (then Prairieville), Wis., and at once assumed the pastoral charge of two churches ; one at Prairieville, and tiie other at Spring Prairie. At the end of one year he removed to the latter place, and confined his labors to that church until 1844, when he removed to Wauwautosa, near Mil- waukee, and became pastor of the Greenfield church on the Spring street (now Grand Avenue) road, live miles from the city. He also gathered a church at Wauwautosa and became its pastor. During this pastorate he resigned his position as missionary of the Baptist Home Missionary Society, on account of the equivocal position of that organization on the slavery question. This ren- dered his future support quite problematical, and that support would have failed entirely but for the efforts which he and his wife constantly were making for the maintenance of the family. In the fall of 1847 he removed to Waukau, AVis. There he organized a church, and another at Berlin. His views now changing on the question of communion, he joined the Free Baptists. He served three churches of the Free Baptists — at Rolling Prairie, Green Bush and Omro Junction. During the winter of 1866-7 he was laid very low by a carbuncle which almost took his life. The fol- lowing summer was nearly gone when he began to walk again and slowly-returning strength gave promise of a new lease of life. After that he preached only to give an occasional day's rest to another minister. He was several years superintendent of schools at Rushford, Winnebago Co., Wis.

AVILLIAMmANNlNG (Theophilus,^ Wm.,^ Wm.,^ Wm.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1823, Oct. 29, at Billerica, Mass. He was reared on his father's farm, and worked there, and the taking of the farm produce to Lowell, to market, was his occupa- tion until he was 21. Following that time he and his older brother carried on the old farm for one year, and then hired a farm in Chelmsford to be nearer market. When school-boys they used to pop corn and make molasses candy for their own use, and some- times they sold some in Lowell, but the trade was limited. They formed the plan of making this a regular business, but it was hard to get a start. AVhen he planned to plant an acre of land to pop- corn, he was told that half an acre would yield more than he could use. Mr. Manning, the pioneer in this trade, lived to see the time 426 THE MANNING FAMILY. wlien a single Western farmer raised 200 acres of the product, and came to him for a market, but, at the start, it was diflicult to get a full su[)ply, as the neighboring farmers were afraid to raise it, and he was compelled to take seed-corn to them personall}' and urge them to plant it for his use. When he and his brother began the manufacturing was all done by hand, but they finally devised machines for making the cakes and, being patented, they proved very valuable. About 18G7, finding that the business.had outgrown the facilities of the old place, Mr. Manning purchased an acre of laud in Lowell, at the corner of Broadway and School St., and built the shop where he has so long carried on the business. Tljere he has made all kinds of corn candy, and found sale for it from Maine to California. He has also retained his farm for summer use.

He was among the first settlers, and endured many hardships and privations. He worked at his trade of shoe- maker winters, and on his farm summers, establishing a home for his family. He bought and cleared a large tract of land, and built mills and manufactured large quantities of pine lumber. To get the fruit-trees now standing on the old farm he went on foot about forty miles. He was prominent in state, county and town affairs, and a leading man in all matters relating to schools and the church.

At 432 TIIK MANNING FAMILY. the age of 18 be began to learn the trade of carriage-making at Francestowu, and, before he was 21, went to Greenville, 111., and set np in business at his trade. There was enough work for him to do, but there were also the privations of a new country and a scarcity of money, and these made it up-hill striving in spite of his industry. Fever and chills impaired his health, and, in 1844, he returned to his native place for a few mouths recuperation. Re- turning to Greenfield he rented a farm and remained until 1846, jMarch, when he and his family went to Michigan with horses and wagon, camping out at night, and staying in a house only one night of the three weeks required for the journey. He bought a farm of 62 acres in Stockbridge, Ingham Co., where they endured the privations of pioneer life in a log-cabin for a time. In 1862 he rented his farm and, to secure the advantages of good schools, removed to Corunna, Avhere he engaged in the carriage business, alone, at first, but, after two or three years, with Joseph N. Lemon and, later, Chas. P. Williams as partners, making the firm Lemon, Manning & Co. In 1869 j\Ir. Manning disposed of his interest, and, the following year, bought a carriage stand in Owosso, where he continued in business. Although never active in politics he was, in the spring of 1878, unanimously elected mayor of Owosso, his name being at the head of four different tickets. He and his wife were deeply interested in, and gave time, money and influence to the cause of temperance. In 1883 they united with the Congrega- tional church. lie was a domestic man, and his most trusted coun- sellor was the wife who faithfully shared the hardships and priva- tions of his younger years and was his helpful companion during nearly 45 years of married life. On his death the city government passed resolutions certifying to his high character and integrity as a citizen and his executive efficiency as mayor. The Royal Tem- plars had charge of the funeral arrangements, and, together with the ex-mayor and then officiating city officers, were in attendance.

He was fitted for college at Phillips Academy, but, in consequence of ill health, did not pursue his studies further ; a severe disappointment, as he was anxious to enter the ministry, he having early experienced religion and joined the South Church at Andover in 1840. To regain his health he worked awhile on his father's farm and, later, was a teacher at Nahaut, and in Florida, where he passed two winters. He finally entered the Andover Theological Seminary in 1862, and, during tlie three years he was there, gained the hearty respect of his associates for his broad and vigorous understanding, and his modest, solid, Christian character. Continued ill health compelled him to decline a call to preach at Ashby, after his graduation, and he spent the winter of 1865-6 at Chattanooga, Tenn., in the service of the 438 THE aiANNING FAMILY. American Home Missionary >Society, and aided in the establish- ment of the coUeofiate institution on Lookout Mountain. Return- ing North, he for six months most acceptably supplied the pulpit at Amherst, N, H., and afterwards accepted a call from the neigh- boring parish of Brooi^line. By his fidelity and earnestness he greatly endeared himself to his people and gained the respect of neighboring churches, so that when, after eighteen months, his pastorate was terminated by death, he was deeply and universally lamented. As a clergyman he was distinguished for the conscien- tious thoroughness and unswerving truthfulness with which he did his work. He was a sound scholar and had great respect for scholarship in others ; searched the Scriptures in the original tongues ; was acquainted with books and the right use of them ; and the logical faculty was in him well developed. His nature was genial, yet modest and sensitive, and he had broad views of the ministerial office and of the influence it would exei't on all the interests of society.

Early in life he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and was associated in the stove and hardware business at Portland with Nathan Wins- low, and, later, with his brother-in-law, Geo. H. Cheney, for sev- eral years prior to 1838, when he removed to Paris, Me., and thence to Syracuse, N. Y., in 1841. He returned to Maine in 1847 and settled at Norway, where he took charge of a large mercantile bus- iness and iron foundry conducted under the name of Brown & Co. He was very active in affairs pertaining to the welfare of the town, particularly in educational, temperance and religious works, and, in whatever engaged, devoted to it the most untiring energy. On the completion of the Atlantic & St. Lawrence railroad to Montreal he made a visit to that city, where he contracted typhoid fever, from which he died on his return to Norway. The Norway Adver- tiser^ in an obituai-y in Jan., 1854, said of him that "he was genial and social, and in his intercourse with the world was unexception- able. As a friend he was warm in his attachments and confiding in his nature ; in his deportment he was dignified, yet modest and 448 THE MANNING FAMILY. unassuming, ami in all his associations was influenced only by high and honorable motives."

STEPHEN NOYES^ MANNING (Aaron,^ Jaraes,^ Wm.,^' Isaac,"* Saml.,3 Wm.,^ Wm.i) b. 1804, Oct. 24, at Sharon, Vt. His parents were poor, and be was put out to service at the age of 7. At 16 he was bound as an appreutice to a printer at Windsor. His school facilities were very limited, but, having united with the church in 1821, he was ambitious to secure proper education and enter the ministry. The printer agreed to release him from the last two years of his term for 8100, and, at the age of 19, he went to Boston. In less than one year he had paid this snra and saved an additional Si 00. He pressed forward in his purpose, entered and graduated at Dartmouth College, and, later, at the Audover Theological Seminary, class of 1833, paying his way chiefly by printing, teaching and literary labors. In 1833 he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister atMethuen, Mass., by the Newburyport Presbytery. In the fall of 1833, he went to Ohio, and spent 15 years preaching in different places and 8 years in teaching. He was a Home Missionary at Watertown, O., for 2 years ; taught in Kentucky from 1837 to 1843 (in '37-9 at Coving- ton), and was a missionary near Cleveland, 1843-51. In 1856 he was called to take the agency of several county Bible Societies in Illinois, auxiliary to the American Bible Society. His duties were laborious, as he preached and lectured three or four times a week to raise money to send the Bible to the destitute, and every day went from house to house for the same purpose. He traveled in his buggy, or on horseback, about 5,000 miles a year, often ex- posed to storms and to great danger in fording swollen streams. His diligence and success led to his election as a Life Director of 29 450 THE MANNING FA:\riLy. the Amorican Hible Society. He continued 12 years in this agency, retiring in 18G8 because of increasing years and pliysical infirm- ities. He had also preached at some time after I80I in Micliigan, probably in connection with his service in IHiuf)is. He had always been interested in scientific matters, and, while teaching in Ohio, made mathematics and astronomy a specialty. About 18G8 he invented and patented the "Spheric Delineator" for the use of colleges in teaching spherics ; which was highly commended by professors. Later, he wrote considerably for the Scientific Amer- ican and other periodicals on astronomical, mathematical, educa- tional, biblical and geological subjects. In 1874 he published " The Fireside Astronomer," a pami)hlet of 60 pages, printed at Kankakee, HI. As early as 1871 he settled at Kankakee, where the closing years of his life were spent. He was honored and loved, and affectionately known as "Father Manning." He d. there 1882, Oct. 24. He m. at Hanover, N.

He attended the local schools a few months each year, and worked on the farm the balance of the time until he was 17 years old. From that time until 22 he attended the High School at Ypsilanti, and the State Normal School at the same place. In the meanwhile he taught three winter terms in country districts, and worked on the farm during summer vacations. In 1862, July, he enlisted as a soldier in Co. B, 20th Michigan Infantry. May 12, 1864, he was taken prisoner at Spottsylvania Court House. With his comrades he was taken to Andersonville, where they remained until the middle of Sept., when they were removed to Florence, S. C. After being paroled they were put on board a transport in Charleston harbor, Dec. 6. They were kept as paroled prisoners at Columbus, Ohio, until exchanged. A day was set for them to rejoin their regi- ments, but on that day came news of Gen. Lee's surrender, so their return was deferred for a couple of days. He rejoined his regiment at a point near Petersburg. He received a second and first lieutenant's commission after his return, but never mustered on them. He came out of the army as a sergeant, being mustered out in time to reach home in June. He bought a farm near his father's ; taught school the first winter ; and remained on the fai'm until the spring of 1869, being for most of four years inspector of schools. The Salem church licensed him to preach, and he entered Kalamazoo College in 1869, graduating in the class of '72. He then entered the Baptist Theological Seminary at Chicago, and graduated in the class of '74, in February. Previous to gradua- tion he was ordained at Beaver Dam, Wis., and accepted the pas- torate, removing to that place. Wayland University, his denom- inational school of the State, being located there, he became deeply interested in its work. He was one of the trustees, treasurer, and, later, associate principal. He remained there until 1880, August, when he became pastor of the Soulli Baptist Church, Milwaukee. In 1885 he was elected president of the Baj^tist State Convention, 484 THE MAXXrS'G FAMILY. which position he held when he went to the 12th st. Church, of Detnjit, ]Mich.

He received license to preach the Gospel in the Methodist Episcopal church in 1839, in Erie county, N. Y. ; and was ordained elder in 1842. Writing in 1891, he stated that he had not been pastor of any church, but held a local relation, and in that line his labors had been as incessant as most preachers*. His (then) present church relation was with the United Brethren in Christ, and he was a member of the Arkansas Valley Annual Conference.

He taught school in western Pennsylvania at an early age. In 1841 he professed religion, soon after which he began to study for the ministry in Farmington, Ohio. Later, he studied in Geauga Seminary, at Chester, and, in 1843, was or- dained and began preaching. He was for two years in the State of Pa. ; then three and one-half years in Canada ; then again in Pa. for 20 years. In 18G6 he was employed by the Free Will Baptist Home Mission Society to labor in the South amoug the freedmen, and spent the greater part of 20 years in that field. He made it the great work of his life, and under his labors, direct- ly or indirectly, there were organized four Yearly Meetings, six- teen Quarterly Meetings, and one hundred and sixty-two churches with 5,000 members. As years pressed upon him he once gave up his arduous and responsible position, but was called back to it as one peculiarly fitted to the work. In 1893 he went to Cairo, 111., for the purpose of founding a Collegiate Institute, the charter for which he had already secured ; and became ill and died there 1893, June 2rt. He was buried at Hillsdale, iMich., at which latter place he had had his family home for about 24 years. As an evangelist and revival laborer he was successful, and, as such, was earnest, sympathetic and, as his obituary states, ''every- body's friend, but a friend to no man's faults," though his kindly DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 523 nature made him much beloved ; in his work for the freedmen he was active, earnest and devoted, and, in emergencies, shared the humble fare and privations of the poor among whom he labored. His home life was remarkably peaceful, and his kindness there unvaried. He m. 1844, May 24, Maryett, dau. of Samuel and Emeline (Parker) Hammond, b. 1822, Jan. 24, at Perrysburg, N.

His boyhood was passed in his native town, and at Dryden, N. Y., and Chatham, Pa. He attended public school in winter and worked on the farm in summer until the age of 18 years; taught school two winter terms ; then attended Union Academy one year, teaching classics to pay his way in part. He married and taught the Union School at Whitesville, N.Y., with his wife as pre- ceptress one year. In 1850, August, he joined the East Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was pastor of Wellsborough Circuit for two years, that being the time limit in the pastorate. The circuit was 40 miles long, with ten regular ap- pointments, or places of preaching. The other appointments were in school-iiouses and dwelling-houses, and, in summer, in barns and groves. He rode the Circuit mostly on horseback, with portmanteau behind the saddle. His salary, or, rather, his quarterage and table expenses, was paid almost wholly in grain, meat and '• store or- ders " for groceries and other goods. He was pastor at Mansfield, I'a., 1852-4 ; at Wellsville, N. Y., 1854-5 ; and at Lawreuceville, Pa., 1855-7. From 1854 to 1857 he was also agent trustee and treasurer of Mansfield Classical Seminary (now the Stale Normal School) at Mansfield, Pa. His succeeding pastorates were at Pen- field, N. Y., 1857-9 ; Rochester, 1859-61 ; Trumansburgh, 18G1-3 ; Bath, 1863-5, the time limit then being extended to three years; Lyons, 18G5-8; Waterloo, 1868-71 ; Newark, 1871-3; Baldwius- ville, 1873-5. From 1876 to 1888 he was chaplain in the New York State Industrial School at Rochester. In 1875 his wife was stricken with paralysis during an attack of typhoid fever, which made it necessary to give her quiet and relieve her from the re- sponsibilities of a pastor's wife. She partially recovered under DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 525 careful treatment and survived until 1893. Being unable to con- tinue in the relation of a pastor he engaged in the agenc}" of a life insurance company, which business he has since followed. He now represents the American Temperance Life Ins. Association as spe- cial agent. After a long residence in Rochester he has recently re- moved to New York City. He m. at Knoxville, Pa., 1849, June 2, Caroline, dan. of Harry and Hiley Teall, b. 1828, Mch. 27, at Almond, Allegany Co., N. Y. ; d. 1893, Nov. 20, at Rochester. Ch. : 3068. Emma Theo, b. 1850, Nov. 2, at Delmar, Pa.; unra., 1899. She early developed a decided talent in both vocal and instrumental music. In 1868 she received her diploma as a graduate from the Lyons Musical Institute, at Lyons, N. Y. In 1872 she went to Germany and spent a year at Goerlitz and Leipzig pursuing the study and practice of organ music and musical theory. On her return she had charge of the musical department of Dans- viile Seminary for five years, and, later, for two years was principal of the same department in Simpson College, Iowa. For nine years she presided at the organ in Asbury M. E. church in Rochester, and is still engaged (1900) in her life work. She is the author of a text-book on musical theory, and the composer of many popular anthems and, especially, of songs for children. Res. at Rochester. 3069.

JEROME FENEL0N9 MANNING (Peter,^ Peter/ John,6 John,5 Jolm,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1838, Dec. 18, at Merrimack, N. H. He was educated iu the Lowell, Mass., schools ; at Lawrence Academy, Groton ; at Phillips Academy, Exeter, N.H., and at Dartmouth College. He then began the study of law with the firm of Morse & Stevens, at Lowell, and completed his studies at Syracuse, N. Y., in the office of Sedgwick, Andrews & Ken- nedy. Returning to Massachusetts, he was admitted to the bar in Boston, in 1863, and has since been in almost constant practice of his profession in the State courts, and in the United States Courts at AYashingtou. He devoted much time to the " Alabama " war claims, appearing for the merchants and ship-owuers against the marine insurance companies in the celebrated and long-continued contests before Congress and the judiciary committees of the Sen- ate and the House. In the prosecution of these claims, where he recovered judgments for upwards of 1500 clients, he had offices in Boston, New York and Washington, and was the first lawyer to open more than one office iu different States. He has been coun- sel iu important cases in the Court of Claims and the Supreme Court of the United States, and in matters pending before com- mittees of Congress. He was a member of the New England Freedman's Aid Society, and aided in organizing several branch- societies in New England and northern New York, and addressed 120 meetings in Mass., Vt. and N. Y. The immediate result was the raising of upwards of S80,000 to send New England teachers to the Southern States, and the establishment of free schools. Pre- ferring to be exempt from the restraints of office-holding he has neither sought nor run for office, but, feeling a deep interest iu the politics of the country, he has taken part in each presidential cam- paign, beginning with that of 1864, when President Lincoln was I'e-elected, and under the auspices of the republican State com- mittees, has addressed over 800 political meetings in some dozen different States. He is now in practice of his profession at Lowell. 534 THE MANNING FAMILY. He m. 1869, Jan. 1, Ingeborg Christina, dau. of Andreas and Christina Erlund, b. at Bergen, Norway.

He left home in 1845 and went to Boston, wiiere he was several years engaged with the Hinckley Locomotive Works, after which he went to Lawrence and designed engines for one year. In 1850 he went West with a lot of en- gines, and was for a time on the Fort Wayne & Chicago railway, running on the road. From there he went to Michigan City, Jnd., in 1852 ; removed to Milwaukee in 1857 and remained until 1864. He was next located at Chillicothe, Ohio, and was master mechanic of the Marietta & Cincinnati railroad until 1867, from which place he went to Albany, N. Y., and was in the service of the N. Y. Central & Hudson R. R. in the same capacity until his retirement on account of ill health. In 1872 he returned to Boston, and had the care of the engine at the Boston Water Works for a few years, when his health led to his retirement from all but light work. He was the patentee of the "Manning Rotary Stave Cutting Machine," and perhaps further an inventor. He m. 1845, Oct. 26, Elizabeth A. Lyon, b. 1830, Jan. 13, at West Roxbury.

He was by trade a machinist, and, as such, appears in the Boston Directory for 1849, '50, '51, '53 and '54. He early went to work there in the Globe Locomotive Works, where he was a department foreman. Removing to the West he was in the service of the New Albany & Salem R.R., working in the shop of the road and as a locomotive engineer. He followed the latter business until the sewing machine came into general use, and then turned his atten- tion to the building of sewing machines. Just before the Civil War broke out he was foreman or supt. of a manufacturing plant (sewing machines or fire-arms) at Richmond, Va. At this time the men under him in the shop would engage in military drill after working hours, preparing themselves for the Confederate service, and they several times invited him to join them. He always refused, but they became so persistent that he decided to leave Richmond. He stole out of his hotel one night, leaving all his possessions in his room except the clothes he wore, and escaped to the North. He located in Philadelphia, where he remained un- til his death. There he engaged at sewing-machine manufacture and repairing. About 1867-8 he invented what was called the Ira Manning Shoe Machine. (He called his name Ira, though his real name was Irad.) This machine would perform the work of any first-class sewing-machine, and, in addition, from the coarsest to the finest stitching, a certain kind of work on shoes that no other machine was capable of doing. It is believed that his final years were devoted to getting up inventions. The failure of his widow to answer letters has compelled the family history to gather this sketch from other sources.

The "History of Wisconsin in the War" says : Major Alvah Philbrook was instantly killed at Franklin, Teun., soon after the grand charge which turned the tide of battle in our favor. He was beloved and esteemed by all, officers and men, and served faithfully and bravely. His name was entered upon Gen. Rose- crans' "Roll of Honor," for gallant services in the field. Ch. : 3137.

He received a good common-school education, which he improved by omnivorous reading and study, but his father's finan- cial reverses prevented his obtaining a much-desired college edu- cation. In 1864 he learned telegraphy, and, the same year, secured a position with the Michigan Central railroad. He was with that company until 1866, when he became manager of the "Western Union Telegraph Co. at Ypsilanti, which position he still retains (1900). He was a member of the Ypsilanti Light Guard from its organization in 1872 until his resignation in 1886, at which time he was its captain. He was also a member of every Rifle Team sent by the State of Michigan to engage in the competitions at Creedmoor, and took part in every victory won by the State teams, including the " Hilton Trophy " and " Inter-State " matches. He was at one time known as one of the most expert solvers of puz- zles, ciphers, problems, etc., in the country. He has occasionally written for publication, and, at times, has translated from the German into English verse. Unm., 1899. 2077. CHARLES HENRY^ MANNING (Joseph C.,8 Saml.,^ Saml.,« Wm.,'^ John,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1844, June 9, at Baltimore, Md. He was educated in that city, at the Cam- bridge, Mass., High School and in the Lawrence Scientific Scliool, class of 1862, but was obliged to give up at the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion and did not graduate. He then served one year's apprenticeship as machinist with Charles Reeder, of Baltimore, and, in 1863, February, was appointed Third Assistant Engineer in the United States regular navy. From that date to 1865 he served on special duty, and on U. S. S. " Adelaide," North Atlantic Squadron, and was present during a part of the bombardment of Charleston, S. C. In March, 1865, he joined the U. S. S. ''Dacotah" at Boston and went to the South Pacific DESCEISTDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 543 station, returning in Sep., 1868. In the two years next following he was on the " Seminole," North Atlantic Squadron, and in Sep., 1870, was ordered to the Naval Academy, Annapolis, as instructor in steam engineering. He was detached from that position in the summer of 1875 and ordered to the U. S. S. "Swatara," North Atlantic Squadron, but was ordered back to duty at the Naval Academy two years later. In Sep., 1880, he was ordered to the U. S. S. " Despatch," on special service, chiefly as President's yacht. In addition to this duty he served as a member of the first Advisor\' Board for rebuilding the navy. In Aug., 1882, he was granted a year's leave of absence, having been on continuous duty for twelve years, and, in June, 1884, was placed on the re- tired list on account of partial loss of hearing " in line of duty." He had been promoted to the grade of Second Asst. Engineer in 1866, and to that of Passed Asst. Engineer in 1872, and was re- tired in that grade, though he served as Chief Engineer of the "Despatch." When the " Jeanuette " rescue party was being formed to go to the Polar regions in search of Lieut. Greely and the other survivors of that vessel he was one of those chosen by Chief Engineer George W. Melville, but the Secretary, knowing he was otherwise fully occupied, declined to send him. After be- ing detached from the "Despatch " on leave of absence he settled at Manchester, N. H., as engineer of the Amoskeag Manufactur- ing Co., the largest cotton mills in the world. Remaining there, he was afterwards appointed general superintendent of the whole business, an industry employing 8,000 operatives ; and still holds the position. In the recent war with Spain he was ordered back to active duty as chief Engineer of the U. S.

WILLIAM THRUSTON^ MANNING (Charles P.,8 Saml.,7 Saml.,6 Wm.,^ John,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,^ Wm.i) b. 1856, Feb. 10, at Alexandria, Va. The following sketch is from the Balti- more American, 1895. Mr. Manning received his early education at Glenwood Institute, Howard Co., Md. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, he left school and entered upon his career as an engi- neer as rodman in the service of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, hisworlv being upon the Chicago extension of the road until 1875. In the latter year he was appointed Resident Engineer on the Gun- powder Tunnel of the Baltimore Water Works, having charge of two miles of the great tunnel ; and during the next eight years up to 1883 was Resident Engineer on the Somerset & Cambria rail- road, Ohio and Baltimore Short Line, and Wlieeling Division, B. & O. R. R. From 1883 to 1886 he was Assistant Master of Road of the Pittsburg Division ; in 1886 was promoted to the position of Superintendent of the Ohio Division, and in 1887 to the position of Engineer of Maintenance of Way of the Pittsburg Division, the title being created with this position, at which time he designed and built the terminal system at that point, which position he held un- til appointed in 1890 Chief Engineer of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad, and while there designed and constructed a por- tion of what at an early day will become the great tide-water ter- minal of the B. & O. From 1890 to 1892 he served as Chief En- gineer of the Akron & Chicago Junction railroad, and in the latter year was appointed Assi^itant Chief P^ngineer of the B. & O. R. R., and in 1893 Acting Chief Engineer of the road. In August, 1892, 35 546 THE MANNING FAMILY. he was called to take charge of the construction of the Baltimore Belt Line Tunnel, which was the crowning point in his career, and, says the American^ stamps him as one of the engineering geniuses of the age. At the time he took charge the tunnel had been under way for two years, and grave doubts existed as to its successful completion, owing to it showing serious signs of weakness, and it demanded immediate action. The methods adopted by Mr. Man- ning saved the tunnel from total failure and pushed it to success- ful completion, gaining for him a reputation as an engineer second to none in the country. The Belt Line Tunnel is the longest soft ground tunnel in the world, and its construction one of the grand- est pieces of tunnel work in this or any other country. On Feb. 1, 1894, Mr. Manning was appointed Chief Engineer of the B. & O. R. R. At the present time [1895] he is also Chief Elngineer Baltimore Belt Line ; Chief Engineer Pittsburg & Western R. R. ; Chief Engineer Staten Island R. R., and Consulting Engineer Pittsburg Junction R. R. Since the publication of this record in the American he has retired (March, 1899) from the active service as Chief Engineer of the B & 0., continuing in the service as Con- sulting Engineer. He did this to enable him to devote his time to the many individual enterprises in which he is interested ; notably his patents for Improved Rail and Combination Hopper Bottom Car; and, also, large contracting interests. He now holds the position of President of the Potomac Construction Company and the Manning Improved Rail Company. He resides in Baltimore.

He was by trade a carpenter and builder, and possessed great mechanical skill. In his later years he was proprietor of a large steam sawing, planing and box-mill at Marlboro, in which nearly all his business life was passed. His temperament was cheerful and patient, calm and reliable ; he was averse to sham and pretence, and had a quiet humor which was delightful to his friends. At the time of his decease a Marlboro paper said of him : "In the death of Joseph Manning the community loses a most estimable DESCEXDAXTS OF WILLIAM MAXXEXG. 547 citizen, the Unitarian society one of its most steadfast pillars, and a great many people, both old and young, one of the truest-hearted, kindest and most sympathetic friends they ever had.

He was a graduate of the Bos- ton School. He was in business with one or two Boston houses, and then became a partner in the old banking house of Br3'ant, Allen & Co. Just after signing his papers with this compau}'^ he was offered a position with Baring Brothers, bankers, which he could not accept. His health breaking down he secured an appoint- ment from President Buchanan as consul to the Society Islands, with headquarters at Papeiti, Tahiti. While here he was engaged in several business interests with Capt. Brewer, of Jamaica Plain, in exporting cotton, calicoes, etc., to the Islands. At the end of his period of service he went to San Francisco, Cal. He became interested in mining ventures, residing at different times in May- ville, Redwood City and, finally, in Nevada, while his family re- mained at Oakland, Cal. In Nevada he received an appointment as Judge, and had many exciting adventures and several narrow escapes from serious injury or loss of life. Besides the risks sur- rounding a miner during those times he, as a Union man, was in 548 THE MANNING FAMILY. danger from those whose sympathies were with the Coufedei'ate cause. During this period he became acquainted with Brigham Young, and occupied a box with him in the theater while on one of his visits to Salt Lake City. In 1869 the family returned to Jamaica Plain, Mass., and, after a short time, resided on Allen- dale street, at which time he was connected with the wool house of Hilton, Weston & Co. in a confidential capacity, this being in 1874. While with them he was asked by Samuel R. Paysou, pres- ident of the Manchester Mills, and various directors, to help dis- entangle the company from a critical financial condition. His ability as a financier enabled him to do this and place the concern on a sound business basis. Later, he accepted a confidential po- sition with the J. C. Ayer Co., in Lowell, his family residing at Middlesex village,aud subsequently he moved to Cambridge. After this he severed his connection with the J. C. Ayer Co. and removed to Marquette, Mich., to become the agent of the estate of Dr. J. C. Ayer, which position he still holds.

He was connected with the Scientific De- partment of Harvai'd University, preparing to be a civil engineer, when the war of the Rebellion broke out. He entered the array as a volunteer private in the 1st Mass. Battery, August, 1862. After a few months service with the Army of the Potomac he was commissioned lieutenant by Gov. John A. Andrew, for faithful- ness and bravery, and served until Sept., 1863, when he resigned his commission and was honorably discharged. He was engaged in the following battles : Second Bull Run, Crampton's Gap, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg. In 1867 he formed a connection with John S.

He was for over three years a soldier of the Re- bellion, and left the army as a sergeant. He enlisted 1861, May 5, under Capt. Burgen in an independent company at Cambridge- port, the members electing their own oilicers. Massachusetts at that time had more troops than were wanted, so they could not get into a regiment of that State, and, as G-eu. Daniel E. Sickles was forming a brigade at Station Island, N. Y., they obtained leave from the Massachusetts governor to go to New York and join that brigade. Mr. Manning's company was D, 5th Regt., Excelsior Brigade. Later, he and his comrades were assigned to the 74th Regt., N. Y. Volunteers. They were all through the "Peninsular Campaign" under Gen. McClellan, with Gen. Hooker as Division commander; fought the first battle of any account at Williamsburg, Va., and then took part at Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, Tories House, and throughout the Seven Days' Fight, ending with the struggle at Malvern Hill. They were subsequently under every commander of the Army of the Potomac, up to and includ- ing Gen. Grant, and were mustered out of service on the battle- field in front of Petersburg, Va., 1864, June 20. They had served upwards of three years, and, having been always at the front, the company, which went out with full numbers, returned with only 16 men. At the battle of the Wilderness, Mr. Manning was wounded in the right arm. After the war he removed to the West, and has long resided at St. Louis, Mo., where he is in busi- ness as a builder. He m.

WILLIAM WALLACES MANNING (Saml.,8 Saml.,7 SamL,6 Saml.,5 John,^ 8aml.,3 -\Yni.,2 Wm.i) b. 1826, July 11, at Townshend, Vt. He was early taken by bis parents to Landgrove, in that State, and then to Warwick, Mass. The illness and, shortly after, the death of his father threw him upon his own resources at the age of thirteen, when he went to Weston, Vt. There he made his way by his individual efforts, gaining an education as best he could and completing it at Burr (now Burr and Burton) Semiuai-y, at Manchester. When a young man he removed with his family to Boston, Mass., and engaged in mercantile business, but ill health forced him to abandon it after some years, and, after a journey through the West, he returned to Weston, where he resided until 1862 on a farm. Previous to going to Boston he had taught school for several years, and this calling he resumed and followed in the winter seasons during the above period. During a part of the war of the Rebellion he was in the service of the Government as in- spector of supplies, with his location at Boston. Shortly after the end of the war he went again (1866) to Weston where, with the exception of about two years' additional experience with mercan- tile business in Boston, he has since resided. He has three times represented Weston in the State Legislature, in 1882, 1888 and 1890; and was eleven years selectman (1879-90, inclusive, with the exception of 1887), and each year, except 1879, as the head of the Board. He has been for many years justice of the peace, and, on occasions, has acted as attorney for plaintiff or defendant in cases before other justices. For about ten years he has been town treasurer, which office he yet holds, and was at one time chairman of the board of school directors. For ten or more years he has been treasurer of the Weston cheese factory company. He has (No. 2178.) DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 555 been the duly-appointed guardian of several children, and, at va- rious times, associated with the settlement of the estates of fellow citizens. He is a member of the Methodist Church, He m. at Weston (1st) Nancy Maria Richardson, b. 1827, Apr. 24, at Wes- ton, and d. there 1873, Sep. 2 ; and (2d) Mrs. Eliza Jane Kimball, dan. of Ehiathau and Margaret (Griswold) Mattocks, b. 1831, Feb. 6, at Wallingford, Vt. Mr. Mattocks (b. in 1800 at Queens- bury, N. Y. ; d. 1857, May 3, at Wallingford) was cousin to John Mattocks, governor of Vt., 1843-4. The ancestry of Nancy M. Richardson was Capt. Artemas" and Rachel (Davis), her parents, of Weston and, later, Somerville, Mass. ; Josiah*^ and Sarah (Pow- ers) of Weston and, previously. Temple, N. H. ; Lieut. Jonathan^ and Lucy (Clark) of Dracut, Mass. ; Capt. Josiah^ and Lydia ( ) of Dracut; Lieut. Josiali^ and Mercy (Parish) of Chelms- ford; Capt. Josiah- and Remembrance (Underwood) of Chelms- ford ; and P^zekieU and Susanna Richardson. EzekieP came to this country about 1630 and settled at Charlestown, Mass., where he was constable, 1633 ; member of the first board of selectmen, 1635, and three years after ; two years representative to the Gen- eral Court; and became one of the founders of Woburn, 1642, where he was selectman.

After reaching years of practical activity he resided in Boston until 1882, when he removed to New Yorli City, whicli place has since been his home, although he temporarily resides at Ayer, Mass. At the age of 17 he began the calling of journalism, with which he has since been occupied, chiefly in connection with New York pub- lications. In 1885 he began his work as compiler of the Man- ning Family History, to Avhicli he has given 16 years of inves- tigation, study, hard work and expense. The result may be seen in the collections and pages of this volume. The taskhas brought the compiler more trials than any other member of the family could well surmise, even by a liberal use of the imagination; but he has made new friendships, and has the satisfaction of having told the story of the Manning family, that its individ- ual members might not be forgotten. The work is here presented to the charitable judgment of members now living, and to fu- ture generations. The compiler m. Emma Electa Day, b. 1860, 556 THE MANNING FAMILY. Mch. 2, in New York City.

MARIA CALISTA^ MANNING (Jabez G.,8 Saml.J Saml.,6 Saml.,5 Johii,^ Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1839, Dec. 23, at Warwick, Mass. She was educated in lier native place and at New Loudon, N. H., after which she taught school at Sturbridge and Ayer, Mass., aud, later, for five years, taught at Pella, Iowa, in Central University. She early began to contribute poetry to the general press, in which field she was a ready and interesting writer. Hei- work proves that, with her, the art was natural, not forced, aud her poems ranked well above the laborious attempts of the ordinary amateur. She was especially pleasing in the line of legendary verse, though the merit of some of her deeper, more thoughtful creations, where imagery, aptness of metaphor and skill of expression stand pre-eminent leads to the wish that she had written more in that field. Her poems, considered collectively, will well bear comparison with those of writers who, by means of time, opportunity, devotion to one purpose and influential aid, have made established reputations. She had none of these aids to suc- cess, and much of her work was never sent to any publication, but it remains to prove her talent. Such as ever left her possession was printed in the Aldene Press, the Springfield Republican, aud other journals. While at school at New London she wrote essays, and other articles in prose, which exhibited depth of thought and fiicility of expression. This estimate of her work has been written by the compiler of the Manning history, after careful examination thereof. She had been converted as early as 1855. In 1874, Sep. 26, she sailed from New York for Rangoon, British Burmah, as a missionary. She began work at once, studying the Karen language and teaching English in the college at Rangoon. Later, she removed with Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter to Bassein, some 50 miles distant, and, as long as she remained in Burmah, was an earnest and devoted teacher in the Normal and ludustnal Institute at Bassein. She had been iu the country three years, aud gained a good knowledge of the language, when her health succumbed to the climate. Continued illness made the necessity of leaving im- perative, and she sailed for America aud reached Warwick 1877, September. In her succeeding illuess she received numerous let- DESCENDAXTS OF WILLIAM MAXNIXG. 657 tei's from her devoted friends in Burmah, of which many were from her native pupils, written in the Karen language. She died at Warwick, unmarried, 1879, July 10. •2186. HENRY HATCH9 MANNING (Jabez G.,^ Saml.,' Saml.,6 Saml.,5 johu,4 Saml.,3 ^y,n.,2 ^y^.i) b. i844. May 17, at Warwick, Mass. He Avas a soldier of the Rebellion, enlisting in the fall of 18G1, at the age of 17, in the 24th Mass. Regt. He took part, with his regiment, in the engagements which followed, amons: which were the battles of Roanoke, Newbern, Little Wash- ington, Rawl's Mills, Kinston, Whitehall and Goldsboro. and the operations against Charleston. He re-enlisted at the expiration of his original term of service, and was with Gen. Butler's expedition up the James River, toward Drewrys Bluff. Early in June, 1864, when the Army of the James was shut in the peninsula at Ber- muda Hundred, Gen. Butler called for a volunteer scout to venture within tlie enemy's lines and secure information as to the opposing army's position and numbers. Young Manning presented himself, and left on his dangerous journey on the niglit of June 7. Secret- ing himself as much as possible by day, he improved every oppor- tunity to scout under cover of darkness, and at the end of the third night had gained such information that, could he have re- turned then, the time, treasure and blood spent before Petersburg might have been spared, as the place could then have been captured with small loss. He was, however, captured by the Confederates on the third night, when ready to make his return, and taken to Andersonville prison. He was to be court-martialled as a spy, but in a transfer of prisoners the already-prepared charges were lost, and the trial postponed. He was taken to Macon stockade, from which place he escaped, but was recaptured and started toward Andersonville again, on a railroad train. When the latter was running at full speed he contrived to leap off and, escaping death, again fled. He was pursued by men and bloodhounds, overtaken in a swamp, bitten by the dogs and retaken. Back in Andersonville once more he was threatened with the old charge and was to be tried as a spy, but he did not wait for trial. Some of the other prisoners, in a condition of despair and desperation, took the oath of allegiance and enlisted in the Confederate army. Manning watched his chance, managed to slip out with the squad and, without taking the oath, became temporarily a wearer of " the 558 THE MANNING FAMILY. Gray." He had a fixed purpose iu mind, and, when the first bat- tle occurred, ran for the Union lines, beiu,' fired upon by both parties. He was seized by the Northern troops and sent to one of their prisons, from which he was released as soon as his iden- tity and loyalty could be formally established. After a short period of recuperation he rejoined his regiment at Richmond, 1865, Apr., ten mouths later than the beginning of his special service and first capture. He was promoted to be sergeant in a highly com- plimentary special order, and, when the war fully ended, was honorably discharged, June 16, and returned home. He had been an earnest Christian from youth, and then decided to enter the ministry. To secure funds he lectured a score or more times, the following winter, on army life and prison adventures, and with success. In the spring of 1866 he entered Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. His funds being insufficient he added other labor to enable him to work his way through the theological seminary, but the hardships of Andersonville had impaired his health and illness compelled him to leave his studies in the spring of 1867. Neither change of climate nor other means afforded relief, and he died at Warwick, unmarried, 1868, Sep. 4. The former chaplain of his regiment, Henry Clay Trumbull, preached the funeral ser- mon, and, later, wrote an account of young Manning's life and services which, under the title of -'The Captured Scout of the Army of the James," a book of 60 pages, was published at Bos- ton, 1869, by Nichols and Noyes, and of which the sketch here given is an abridgement. Mr. Manning had so endeared himself to his classmates at Andover Theological Seminary that they united iu placing a handsome marble shaft over his grave in the Warwick cemeter\'. 2192.

JOHN RANDALL9 MANNING (Jobu B.,8 .Joel,' Saml.,6 Saml.,5 John,^ Suml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1826, Aug. 3, at Andover, Vt. In 1838 his parents went West, and he was for a time at what is now Big Bend, Wis., but they soon returned to Vt. In 1857 he made the Western journey again, going first to Green- castle, Ind. ; then to Delphi; then to Hudson, Wis., and to St. Paul, Minn. ; then returned to Indiana, purchased horses and cat- tle and drove k) Hudson. This was in 1858. In the fall of 1859 he went to La Crosse Co., Wis., where he remained about a year, and then removed to Adams Co., where he resided during the war of the Rebellion, engaged in farming. From 1866 to 1869 he lived at Weston, Vt., and then returned West, traveled in Wisconsin and Iowa, and wintered at West Salem, La Crosse Co., Wis. In 1870 he went to Eli) b. 1820, Feb. 24, at Chelms- ford, Mass. His parents soon removed to Greenwood, N. Y., with which place he was identified both in youth and manhood. By oc- cupation he was a farmer and lumberman. He occupied the same farm with his father, and at his death they owned about 400 acres, a part covered with valuable timber, and a part under good culti- vation. He was much esteemed, and a leading man in the town. He held various town offices, including that of supervisor, and filled them with honor to himself.

JACOB MERRILL^ MANNING (Jacob,^ Jacob,'' Jacob,6 Jacob,5 Wm.," Saml.,3 Wm.,^ Wm.') b. 1824, Dec. 31, at Gieenwoocl, N. Y. He graduated at Amherst College in 1850, aud at Andover Theological Seminary in 1853. He was ordained to the miuistr}' 185-1, Jan. 3, and installed as pastor of the Mystic Con- gregational Church, at Medford, Mass., with which society he re- mained until 1857, March, when he was installed as assistant pastor to Rev. Dr. Blagden, of the historic Old South Church, Bos- ton. After the retirement of the latter, 1872, Oct., Mr. Manning became the active pastor. During the many years of his pastorale he had charge with Dr. Blagden of the Chambers street Chapel, the two preaching therein alternately. In October, 1862, in the days of the war of the Rebellion, he went out as chaplain of the 43d Mass. regiment, and served as such until the regiment was mustered out, nine months later. On his return he suffered from fever, the germs of which were contracted in service, and his health was so impaired that he never fully recovered. He lectured some- what, especially at Andover from 1866 to 1872, aud with success, but abandoned this field in order to give closer attention to pas- toral duties. In 1867 he received the degree of Doctor of Divin- ity from Amherst College. He was a well-known and strong in- tellectual writer upon theological subjects. His published works, with date of publication, were as follows: Ministerial Education, 1859 ; New Year's Address, 1859 ; The Soldier of Freedom, 1862 ; Sickness aud its Lessons, 1863 ; Peace under Liberty, 1865 ; Sermon on the Death of Abraham Lincoln, 1865 ; The Conversion of our Country, 1870 ; Half Truths and the Truth, 1873 ; Helps to a Life of Prayer, 1875 ; The Carnival of Crime, 1875 ; Samuel Hurd Walley, 1878 ; Christian Missions and the Social Ideal, 1880, and Charles Stoddard, 1883. In March, 1882, when the twenty-fifth year of his association with the Old South Church ended, he be- came pastor emeritus, aud departed this life eight months later. As a preacher he was especially attractive ; free from sensational- ism, but vigorously grappling with the intellect and the conscience, with a vivacity aud candor of conception, a clearness of statement, 568 THE MANNING FAMILY. a breadth of learning and a calmness of spirit which made his dis- courses not only worth listening to, but which attracted and held his audiences. Although pastor of one of the richest ecclesiastical corporations in the country, he felt himself in no manner lifted above his brethren whose lot in this respect was different. In doc- trine he was incorrupt, by temperament and conviction he was a reformer. Although of a retiring disposition, he won many friends through his earnest, disinterested labor and superior intellectual force. He was widely esteemed and honored, and known as a sound scholar and clear thinker, and as one of the safest men in his denomination ; while, as a pastor, his first object was to bring his parishioners into a close relation with God.

In 1849 he settled in Reading, Mass., where he lived six years, and then removed to Pepin, "Wis., when to be a pioneer meant privations and hardship. He struggled bravely wilh adver- sity which followed the general financial depression of 1857, and gradually built up a business in the line of real estate and invest- ments. In 1868 he removed to Lake City, Minn., of which place he was thereafter a resident, and where he continued the last-named business as long as he lived, after which it passed to his son.

JACOB WARREN^ MANNING (Solomou,^ Jacob,' Jacob,6 Jacob,5Wm.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,^ Wm.i) b. 1826, Feb. 20, at Bedford, N. H. In boyhood he went to the district school, for the most part in winter oul}', and then often teaming wood one day and attending school the next, in turns with his brother Joseph. He spent one year at the academy in Francestown, N. H. In 1847, Mch. 15, at the age of 21, he went to Chelmsford, Mass., to work on the Carleton farm, where a large variety of fruit was grown, and, the following winter, superintended the lumber-cutting on the old Stanley farm in Wilmington. Thence he returned to the Carleton farm, where he received $16 a month, earning $180, of which he saved $150. In March, 1849, he became foreman of the Wmnesimmet Nursery, at Chelsea, and in April planted the first plants propagated from the original Houghton gooseberries and Concord grape-vine. About this time he first became identi- fied with the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, which he joined in 1858. In 1850 he was gardener for John J. May, of Dorches- ter, and in 1851 for Nathaniel Frothingham, of Burlington, where he employed many men in extensive improvements. In 1852 he laid out the grounds of Levi A. Dowley, in Brattleboro, Vt., and planted orchards. He then went to Reading, Mass., and in June, 1854, bought the "home grounds " of the Reading Nursery, and published his first card as nurseryman and landscape gardener. 570 THE MANNING FAMILY. During a visit in September to Chicago, Denmark, Ta., St. Louis, etc., he saw victims of the prevailing cholera epidemic. The next winter he helped his brother Solomon clear off a wood-lot in Bed- ford, N. H., at one time himself cutting 90 cords of wood in 30 days. Later, he attended French's Business College in Boston for a few weeks. In the spring of 1855 he began work in the Read- ing Nurser}', of which he is still proprietor. During the 45 years of its existence he has shipped plants to parks and private places in nearly every State in the Union, and to many foreign countries. He has introduced to cultivation new varieties of fruits and orna- mental trees, and was one of the first to recognize and urge the value of the native shrubs and trees for ornamental plantations. He has given advice regarding the arrangement and planting of many private estates in New England, and has kept constantly informed regarding all branches of his business by frequently vis- iting nurseries and attending conventions of nurserymen. He is recognized as an authority on fruits. His introduction of Cutter's Seedling strawberry in 1859 and the Dracut Amber grape first brought him distinction as a nurseryman. He also introduced to cultivation the John Sweet and Granite Beauty apples. Smith Seed- ling gooseberry, and the Dwarf Woodward arbor-vitse. For the latter he received two medals from the Mass. Horticultural Society. In 1897 he introduced the Cutleaf Staghorn sumach, which he found in Maine in 1892. He first advocated (in 1857) the sweet pepper {Clethra alnifolid) for cultivation ; also the Yucca Jflamen- tosa. He was on a committee of three to select books for a library relating to agriculture and horticulture in Reading; this being merged with the Franklin Library became the nucleus of the pres- ent Reading Public Library. He was for 10 years a member of the fruit committee of the Mass. Horticultural Society, for 15 years a trustee and on committees of the Middlesex Agricultural Society, and he has also been an active member of the North Middlesex Agricultural Society. Since joining the American Pom- ological Society in 1860 he is tlie only member who has never failed to attend a meeting. He joined the American Nursery- men's Association at its third meeting in 1878, and has attended every meeting since, a record equalled by only one other member. He has been Vice President for Massachusetts of the American Horticultural Society, and, at its last meeting in Austin, Tex., served on the committee on fruit. At the Philadelphia Centennial DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 571 he received the Wilder medal for his exhibit of 28 varieties of fruit. He planted the grounds about the Massachusetts Building at the Chicago World's Fair, and received a medal for his exhibit. He enjoyed traveling greatly, and has a remarkable memory for dates and events connected therewith. In all he has traveled over 125,000 miles on this continent in trips of no less than 500 miles each. He m. 1858, Dec. 25, Lydia Brooks Chandler, b. 1839, Sep. 19, at Concord, N, H.

Jacob,6 Jacob,5 Wm.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.i) b. 1829, Oct. 24, at Bedford, N. H. His early years were spent on the farm. He at- tended the district school and, beginning when 19, the Normal Institute at Merrimac. Following this, he taught school one win- ter; then went to Reading, Mass., where he learned carpentry. For six months he attended Stratton's Commercial College, in Boston, and in May, 1856, went to Pepin, Wis., where he had charge of a lumber-yard and was contractor and builder until, with 572 THE MANNING FAMILY. the opening of the Chippewa River for navigation in 1857, Pepin ceased to be the landing-place of supplies for the Northern Wis- consin lumber-mills. In consequence of this decrease in business and the money panic of 1856-7 he removed in Sep., 18G0, to an improved 400 acre farm in La Faj^ette Co. He continued farming for the next four years. In 1863, as township supervisor, he was commissioned by Gov. Solomon to obtain soldiers in the town of Gratiot, to make up the quota desired. For two years he was clerk of the school district. In Aug., 1865, he went to Pithole City, Venango Co., Pa., where he built oil-tanks and placed machinery connected with the oil-wells. In 1867 he returned to Wisconsin, settling in Shullsburg to follow his trade of contractor. In the fall of 1883 he purchased and improved a half-section farm in Osceola Co., la., the family removing to the adjoining town of Sibley. Here he placed farm-loans for his brother Joseph Manning. In 1887, for the sake of better educational facilities, tlie family removed to Grinnell, where he was contractor and builder. He was the inventor of Manning's Insect Destroyer, for the protec- tion of orchards, gardens, etc. At Reading he united in 1853 with the Old South Congregational church, of which he was made trustee in 1855. Within a year after his arrival at Pepin he helped to organize the First Congregational church, and for three years was superintendent of the Union Sunday School. During his two years' stav in Pa. he was superintendent of the M. E. Sunday School of the town. Throughout the next 15 years he was closely identified with the Congregational church of Shullsburg, holding the offices of trustee, clerk, treasurer, deacon and choir-leader ; and during his four years residence at Sibley he was prominent in church-work and the temperance movement.

His youth was spent in active labor on his father's farm, except such time as he attended the district school, and McGaw Normal Institute at Reed's Ferry. As a young man he settled on and has since occupied the family homestead. Milk production has been his specialty for many years, to which have been added market gardening and lumbering. He has long been identified with the Presbyterian church, serving much of the time as teacher in the Sunday School, of which he was superintendent 1866-68, the school then consisting of 300 members. He has served on the committee for repairing the church, and on the building committee when the vestry was erected in 1872.

He was chiefly reared in Michigan, and when a boy attended the district school and a few terms at the high school in Ann Arbor. When he was 19 the family removed to Corunna, where he entered the high school. He had taught the previous winter, and for the next five years alternated teaching and attending school, including over a year in the scientific depart- ment of the Michigan University. His health not being good he settled on a farm one mile west of Pittsburg, Shiawassee Co., and remained from 1867 to 1870. He was appointed in 18G8 to fill a vacancy as County Superintendent of Schools, and was afterwards elected by a heavy majority to fill the same office, despite the fact that he was on a ticket very much in the minority in the county. After his second marriage he removed to Vernon, where he was principal of the high school for a year, and next had a similar po- sition at Kellogg, Iowa ; but returned to Michigan after one year and was principal of the schools at Chesaning for three years. He was then for three years in the grocery business, during which time he was for two terms a member of the Board of Supervisors for Saginaw Co. He took charge of the Byron schools in 1879, and taught two years. As a teacher he was thorough and popular. Owing to ill health he next traveled seven years for Harper Broth- ers, the New York publishers, in the interests of their school books. After a short residence at Holly and at Flint he returned to the homestead at Chesaning, where he resided in 1889. He was a member of the Methodist church, and for many years a temper- ance worker.

Since the fore- going was written the whole Manning family has suffered a great loss by the death of this gentleman and soldier who so greatly honored it. The abbreviated sketch of his military career here given does not present one fact as fully as it should, but that is added by the compiler of this volume — namely, that his most important promotions were for ''notable and gallant service " in battle. His executive ability, too, was conspicuously shown when he was military governor of Savannah, and in the manage- ment of the free schools of that city, and in other positions of re- sponsibility. Major Manning died at Washington, after a brief illness, 1901, May 5. He was buried with full military honors in the National Cemetery at Arlington. The casket was escorted by a field battery from the Washington barracks. The pall- bearers were General G. H. Weeks, General Samuel Oveushine, General Charles Bird, Colonel J. Van R. Hoff, Colonel C. C. Sniffen and Col. George R. Baird. Major Manning always retained his interest 588 THE MANNING FAMILY. in the First Massachusetts regiment, and was a welcome attendant at its reunions.

CHARLES RALPHiOMANNING(William,3 Ralph,^ Nathaniel," Hezekiah,^ Saml.,^ Saml.,4 Saml.,3 Wm., 2 Wm.') b. 1836, Apr. 5, at Middleburgh, N. Y. At the beginning of the war of the Rebellion he was residing at Independence, Mo., and was a member of the State militia. The force was enrolled in the State service and was under Gen. Price, but, after the battle of Carthage, Mr. Manning succeeded in deserting and reaching the Union lines, and began a long career under the loyal flag and in a cause from which his sympathies had never wavered. From Oct., 1861, to Apr., 1862, he was in the regiment band, 19th Illinois volunteers, and from the latter date was in the 65lh Illinois regiment. With this command he served at the front, and when, in Sep., Stone- DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MANNING. 597 wall Jackson made his raid up the Shenandoah Valley, Mr. Man- niug was captured with about 12,000 other Union soldiers, who were in time paroled and exchanged. Later, he was with his reg- iment in the expedition up the Big Sandy, under Gen. White, after which the regiment was ordered to Covington, Ky., and served under Gen. Burnside from Aug., 1863, participating in all engage- ments of that command up to the Atlanta campaign. In the mean- while Mr. ]Manning had been successively promoted sergeant-major, 2d lieutenant, 1st lieutenant, and, in June, 1863, captain. At the capture of Fort Sanders the 65th was conspicuous, and a newspa- per article, referring to Captain Manning, said that he " exhibited the highest qualifications as an officer, and as a brave and true soldier." He was the commanding officer of the skirmish line at the fording of the icy waters of the Holseu river, and there, no doubt, laid the foundation of the disease which finally caused his death. He retired from service in Sep., 1864, on account of dis- ability. As a soldier he was brave and faithful ; as an officer he was conscientious in the discharge of duty and careful of the men who served under him, and as a citizen, later, he enjoyed the es- teem of all.

She had remarkable musical gifts, learning composi- tions readily upon hearing others play them, and then being able to execute them, herself, from memory, and with marked skill. She had been seen to play two pieces of music from memory after a professor had played them, with an interval of conversation between. It was never necessary for her to re- fer to the notes of a composition after learning it; thus, the Mocking Bird, of 13 pages, was of no trouble to her without the notes. She was greatly loved at Deer Lodge City, and mourned by all there upon her death. 2744.

He entered the Law department of the University of Chicago, and, after a full course of study, graduated therefrom in 1865, after which he commenced a long practice of his profession in Chicago. In early manhood he purchased of his father nearly 200 acres of unimproved land containing an elevated and very M I (No. 2983.)

He constructed an elegant driving park, and bred and raised the best of horses, standard and eligible to registry in the American Trotting Regis- ter, which horses have given him much pleasuie in driving them with the horses of acquaintances on the Boulevards of Chicago while prosperously practicing law for about 20 years. In 1898 he conveyed Montview Park Farm to his daugliter, Mrs. Hoy, where she and her husband and their family have resided since the expira- tion of Mr. Hoy's term of office as county sheriff. Mr. Manning was musical as a boy, taking lessons, etc., and singing, playing the organ and leading the choir in church. He kept up an interest in that direction, and while a lawyer was elected president of the Bach and Handel Musical Society, of Chicago, that had a large membership, and which gave a grand concert in a large public hall of Chicago the year he was president, besides many receptions and sociables in their own large hall near Union Park, thereb}^ making the Society quite an influential social event in Chicago.

In early manhood he was a mer- 618 THE MANNING FAMILY. chant, and, since 1870, has been a lawyer in Chicago. The follow- ing sketch of his life is from "The Bench and Bar of Chicago :" "He possessed a natural fondness for reading and study, and being fortunate in having good educational advantages made the most of his opportunities. At Warrenville, 111. [the family home after 1849], he pursued the full course of study in the Warrenville Seminary, graduating in 1859. During the next two years he was employed in his father's store, and having previously decided to enter the legal profession, devoted all his spare time to the study of law. At the age of 23 he engaged in the dry goods trade on his own account at Aurora, 111., and afterwards removed to Cliicago, and there continued the same line of business. Dur- ing these years he kept up his legal studies, and in 1870, after graduating from the Union College of Law at Chicago, was ad- mitted to the bar, and opened an office on his own account. For three years after the great fire of Oct. 9, 1871, besides attending to the large commercial business he had built up, he devoted much time to the adjustment of fire losses, insomuch that it became somewhat of a specialty and gained for him a fine reputation for proficiency in insurance matters. Since 1874, his practice has been general in its character, and yearly increasing, and to-day he ranks among the ablest chancery and real estate lawyers at the Chicago bar. An important case with which he was actively connected was that of the United States vs. Henry Feuerstein and Charles Pfluger, who were jointly indicted for defrauding credi- tors in violation of certain provisions of the bankrupt law, Mr. Manning representing the creditors. The trial of the case re- sulted in the conviction of both defendants, and is worthy of men- tion since it was the only case of conviction and sentence under the bankrupt law ever had in Chicago. Mr. Manning has always given especial attention to the collection of accounts, and num- bers among those for w^hom he does business in this particular department many of the leading firms of New York and other Eastern cities. As a lawyer he honors his profession. Prompt, sagacious and watchful of a client's interests, he is withal up- right and honorable in his dealings, careful and conscientious as a counselor, and firm in his adherence to honest conviction. In politics he is an active, earnest Republican, and for ten years was a member of the Du Page county central committee." He resides at Warrenville.

D, 50th New York Volunteer En- gineers ; mustered in as eighth corporal, and served with this reg- iment in the Army of the Potomac until July 5, 1863, the regiment taking active part in all campaigns of the Army, being in all en- gagements and rendering special service in McClellan's Peninsular Campaign. Mr. Manning was wounded near Fredericksburgh, Va. (at Deep Run), one of the wounds causing the loss of his right leg at the thigh, and for his part in this fight he was mentioned in General Orders and appointed lieutenant. After discharge from the hospital at Washington he put on an artificial limb and con- tinued in service ; was ordered to headquarters of the Department of the Missouri, at St. Louis, whence he took despatches to Gen. Steel, who was on his Camden campaign in Arkansas, April, 1864, and was just in time for the ■' Poison Spring " fight between Steel and Price. In this battle his wooden leg was shot off. Later, he joined Gen. Sherman as mustering officer and took part in the " march to the sea." Leaving the army at Beaufort, S. C, he ac- companied Gen. Osterhous to St. Louis, and at the close of the war was ordered to Texas for duty with the 6th U. S. Cavalry. In July, 1867. near Waco, he was waylaid by bushwhackers and shot three times. On his recovery he resigned from the army, having received eight wounds in service and reached the rank of major by brevet. He was appointed to a position in the New Orleans Cus- tom House, where he remained until 1870, when he went to La Fa- yette, Ind., at which place he filled the offices of deputy auditor, deputy treasurer, deputy recorder and deputy sheriff, and was in 1883 elected sheriff. After expiration of this term of office he was appointed clerk in the Second Comptroller's office, Treasury De- partment, Washington, D. C. (Mch. 9, 1890), and, Nov. 15, 1894, transferred to the War Department. He resides in Washington.

Statistics. The Salem-Ipswich family has never reached large numbers. In some cases families of children have been born which were large GENERAL ARTICLES. 655 enough to justify the expectation of further increase, but this has not been realized. Several male members conceived a passion for maritime life, adopted tliat calling, and died at sea, young and unmarried. This has been one of the causes which have prevented the increase, but it does not explain it in full. Some statistics fol- low. The first list is that of large families born to male members in each generation. In the third generation there was one family of 9 children; in the fourth, one each of 10, 11 and 12; in the fifth, one of 9 and three of 11; in the sixth, one of 8 ; in the seventh, one each of 8 and 9 ; in the eighth, two of 8, and in the ninth, one each of 8 and 13. Deaths in Minority. The number who have died under the age of twenty-one in the families of male members is divided into two classes ; first, those who died before the beginning of their third year, and, sec- ondly, those who died in a more advanced period of their minority. Died under three years, males 16 •' " " " females 18 Total died under three years 34 Died between two and twenty-one, males 11 '' " " " " females 19 Total died between two and twenty-one 30 Total died in minority 64 The foregoing does not include certain children who died in in- fancy, the sex of which is unlinown. The Birth-Record. Herewith are given the births in the family by generations. In the male line, a division is made so as to show how the children were distributed between the two sexes. The time necessary for the compilation of such facts has prevented the extension of this system to the female lines, but the total of their children is given below. The figures fail to show the full numbers in the later gen- erations, because of the fact that so many members in the West have failed to furnish their family records. In the following table of children born to male members the upper line is that of the generation number^:, and the figures immediately below show the birth-record in each generation.

The following is a summary of the figures just given, to which is added the number of members of the family, born heir to the name of Manning, now supposed to be living.

The members of the Salem-Tpswich family who have manu- script records of their own line, with some connecting branches, will find, if they compare these with what is printetl in this vol- ume, that, in many cases, their dates do not exactly agi'ee with GENERAL ARTICLES. 657 those here given. The variations will appear chiefly in the births and marriages which took place at Ipswich prior to the year 1800. With a few exceptions the births of Mannings in that town were never recorded on the town books. There are, in fact, only six births recorded before 1800. Fortunately, we have a substitute in the baptism of infants, which gives approximate dates. Some children were baptized the Sunday following their birth ; some- times the ceremony was long delayed, but, as a rule, it was within a few weeks of the child's birth. Except for old family records, the Mannings of Ipswich must I'ely almost wliolly on baptisms in- stead of birth-dates. But in the family manuscripts referred to, which are based upon Ipswich records, a date often appears as a birth, when, really, it was a baptism. Such cases are so common that the variations will be many. Again, some of the early mar- riages were never recorded, and the date when the intention of marriage of the couple was " published" has to be taken as a substitute, but, as the family manuscripts often confuse the mar- riage and the publishment, other variations will be noted. Bap- tized does not mean born, and published does not mean married ; and dates for these events should not be written down one for the other. Except for a photographic copy of a single line early fur- nished by one of the family to the present writer, the genealogy of the Salem-Ipswich family has been prepared by the compiler of this volume without aid from, or reference to, any manuscript previously written by others. (Note, however, what is said fur- ther on concerning the collection of Joseph BoUes Manning. Esq.) When the work was well advanced there came into the compiler's possession, briefly, one of the manuscripts above mentioned. It was full of errors, as, for instance, at least one case where two members of the same name were alleged to have married one and the same woman on the same day. This manuscript, however, while clearly dating back to a common origin with others similar to it, had passed out of the Manning family, and the worst of the errors were doubtless due to additions made by one not familiar with his subject. For some years the present compiler was aware that there was in existence a MS. genealogy of a part of the family prepared by Joseph BoUes Manning [234], who died 22 May, 1854. While clearly realizing the importance of a record formed at that early 42 658 THE MANNING FAailLT. day, no effort was made to see it then, as it was considered best to reserve so valuable an aid for final comparison, rather than to be influenced by it prematurely. This plan was carried out, and, in the spring of 1901, the older collection was borrowed and care- fully compared with the records of this volume. The result was highly satisfactory, as there was no disagreement in the ref- erences to the male lines, and only minor ones relating to the female branches. Thus, as far as Joseph Bolles Manning carried his work, it corroborates the collections of this volume, and, as his investigation was made so long ago, the corroboration is highly important. He had an opportunity to interview personally members older than himself, so that the testimony of the Eight- eenth Century has come down to us through a writer who died in 1854. Some valuable items, too, were secured from his MS., as, to illustrate, an account of the fate of Joseph Manning [85] and Richard Manning [89]. These facts had previously been a mat- ter of vague tradition : they became assured facts on the testi- mony of one who had been so closely related to them. The other manuscripts which have been mentioned so closely resemble that of Joseph Bolles Manning (except that they are less extensive and, in some cases, have errors which are not due to him) that, on critical comparison, the belief must be entertained that all were drawn, directly or indirectly, from his compilation. It is positively known that some were. It would seem that, be- fore or soon after his death, his collection was freely borrowed ; that each borrower copied what was most of interest to him, or her, and added thereto something more of the members most nearly related to him or her. Thus, while all the manuscripts agree fairly well as to the early generations, the later entries are dissimilar, and, moreover, they present sharp conflicts of state- ment. This presents another point where this volume will not agree with the various manuscripts. When statements are found to disagree recourse should be had to town records, if possible, or, if not, the statements of those most nearly related to the sub- ject of each sketch should be taken. In conclusion, the holders of old manuscripts will know from this article why this volume cannot agree in full with their documents, especially as to dates, and it is to be hoped that the care taken here to avoid the errors of others has been fairly suc- cessful. GENEALOGY OF THE RICHAED AND ANSTICE MANNING FAMILY OF SALEM-IPSWICH, MASS. FIRST GENERATION. 1. RICHARDi MANNING, the ancestor of the American family which early settled at Salem and Ipswich, Mass., was bap- tized as an infant, in 1622, in St. Patrick's (or Petrox) Parish, Dartmouth, County Devon, England. He resided there, and, at a date not known to the present writer, died there, according to accepted reports. What effort, if any, has been made to gain ad- ditional information concerning him, at Dartmouth, is unknown. He married and reared a family there, all of whom, with probably one exception, came to Massachusetts. The maiden name of his wife was Anstice Galley. His eldest son was named Nicholas. The latter was the first of the family to come to this country, he having located at Salem, Mass., as early as 1662. Unless the second son, Richard, also came, and this is unlikely, Nicholas was the only one of the family here for the next seventeen years. In 1679 the widow Anstice and her five younger children came to Salem in the ship Hannah and Elizabeth, with other passengers. Capt. Lott Gourd ing was commander, and Nicholas Manning " undertaker " of said ship. The word here quoted was used in the sense of one who " undertakes " to perform a certain work ; in this case, it was to transport the ship's passengers from the Old to the New World. Knowing Nicholas Manning's business tact and stirring nature as we do, the surmise may be ventured that he was in every sense the originator and manager of the enterprise ; in other words, that, desiring to bring his mother and her family to Salem, he avoided the expense of paying some one else for their passage by having, temporarily, a vessel of his own, and on which he brought enough other passengers so that the undertaking was (659) fifiO THE MANNING FAMILY. probably a successful business venture. We should know nothins: about it if it were not for the fact that legal proceedings followed. One Dr. John Barton made the passage as ship's doctor, and when he and Nicholas attempted to settle their accounts there was found to be such a difference of opinion as to the merits of the case that the affair found its way, in the shape of charges and counter- charges, into the Court of Essex county. The papers in the case may now be found in Volume xxxii, pages 19-22, inclusive, of said Court Records. Dr. Barton's medical bill is highly interesting as showing the treatment at that day for various troubles, and phy- sicians of to-day should find it entertaining, if not instructive. Of the series of papers the first is a list of passengers, at the head of which stand the widow Manning and her five younger children. About forty other names follow, among which is that of one Joseph Manning, of M'hom no more is known than that he sus- tained "a broken shinn " on the voyage. Possibly he was a rela- tive ; nothing has been found of him afterwards. Omitting the here-superfluous names of other passengers, the series of papers is given complete and unchanged.

DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD 3IANNING. 663 Judgment was against Capt. Manning ; Dr. Barton won his case, and Nicholas lost his coimter-suit. On the arrival of the Manning family at Salem, all resided there for a time. Nicholas had already married there, as did Ja- cobjAnstice, Margaret and Sarah, in due time. All of the four last named passed the rest of their lives there. Thomas, the youngest son, settled at Ipswich, and, as the two towns became so long the chief home of descendants, it is here preferred to call them the Salem-Ipswich family of Mannings. Nothing has been found of Anstice, the mother of these children, after her arrival. There is no record to show when she died, nor can it be said whether her liaal. years were spent in Salem or Ipswich. Her Chris- tian name has been found spelled both Anstiss and Anstist in early days. The former was the common form, and was probably rec- ognized as correct ; but as, in later years, the form was changed to Anstice, it is used here. The children of Richard and Anstice Manning, born at Dartmouth, Eng., were: 2. Nicholas, b. lC4t, June 23. 3. RiCHAKD, b. 1646, June 22. His history is unknown. It is probable that be did not come to America, but there is no evidence for or against this supposition. Among the records of the Essex County Probate Office, at Salem, is the will, dated 1708, Dec. 8, and probated Jan. 5 following, of one Jacob Manning, a mari- ner, " now belonging to Her Majesty's ship Rumway." He willed all his belongings to his "cozen, Warwick Palfrey, of Salem." The latter was a son of Mrs. Margaret (Manning) Palfrey (see No. 15). At that period the term " cousin" was very vaguely used, and, though it properly had the same mean- ing as now, was often used as a synonym for "relation." Thus, we cannot be sure tliat the word was correctly used in the will. If correct, Jacob was a son either of the above Rich- ard, or of NicholaiS' [2], or Thomas [7] Manning. The last possibility is as reasonable as any. It is no evidence tending to show that he was a son of Richard because be was one of the crew of an English vessel, for Americans also served in that capacity.

NICHOLAS^ MANNING (Richardi) b. 1644, June 23, at Dartmouth, England. He was the first of his family to come to this country, and the emigration was made while he was yet a minor. It has been suggested that he first came as a mariner, but the theory is not supported by any known evidence, and may be regarded as unlikely. He was by trade a gunsmith, and this calling he followed at times during his entire life, he being thus styled as late as 1709; but this occupation was interrupted by connection with other private enterprises, and by the holding of military and civil office. In the latter capacities he was a cap- tain in King Philip's war, a selectman at Salem, and a justice of the peace, collector, and judge of the Inferior Court in Maine. On arrival in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay he settled at Salem, a town which has been the home of various of his collateral de- scendants to the present day. He is first found there 1662, Oct. 3, as a witness to a deed of trust, John Gifford to Thomas Cobbit and others. Next in chronological order is his marriage, 1663, June 23. He was a juryman in 1666, and constable, 1674. In King Philip's war, 1675, he appears as a soldier under Capt. Nicholas Paige, and, as such, participated in the Mount Hope campaign and the "Great Swamp Fight," after which engagement he was himself advanced to the rank of captain and sent as com- mander of recruits to reinforce the colony's regiment. That he served with bravery no one can doubt who has studied the history and nature of the man. In 1677 he was called into new activity. Some of the men of Salem were accustomed to go fishing in ves- sels called ketches. They were harassed by Indians, the ketches captured, and with them many of the fishermen. In the year last named no fewer than thirteen of these vessels were reported as captured, so the ketch named "Supply" was fitted out as a war- ship, put under command of Capt. Manning, with 40 men, and C664) DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 665 sent to make recaptures. The expedition was snceessful, but, unfortunately, details are lacking. In 1679 Nicholas went to England as "undertaker" of the vessel in which his mother and her youuger children came to Salem. Particulars of this event are given in the sketch of his parents. In this year, too, he, with others, was presented to the Court for wearing periwigs ; an indulgence in fashionable adornment which was not looked upon with favor in the puritan Colony. Soon after, events appear in his history which indicate his absence from Salem. The Records of Massachusetts, V-317, under date of 1681, May 11, say : "In answer to the petition of Elizabeth Manning, wife of Nicholas Manning, it is ordered that what estate can be found of Nicholas Manning, either in possession or reuersion, be secured by the County Court at Salem, and by them disposed of for the peticon- ers maintenance and support from time to time as they shall thinke fitt." The estate was divided June 8 following, at which time the official papers term Elizabeth a "widow," but if the writer thereof supposed Nicholas to be deceased he labored under a wrong impression. It is said that he had gone to New York, and, if so, he probably there laid the foundation of that part of his career which soon followed. In 1684 he is found in the province of Maine, at New Dartmouth, or, to use its old Indian name, which was more commonly and long after done, Sheepscot. This may be said to have been what is now New Castle [Lincoln Co.], Me., though "New Dartmouth was designed to include New Castle, Edgecomb, Boothby, Southport, Westport, Wiscasset and Alna. Sheepscot was the capital." This was an extensive area. That part of Maine was granted by King Charles, of England, together with the Dutch territory upon the Hudson river, to his brother James, Duke of York, so that said section of Maine was under the same government as New York, and Capt. Manning and other officials of New Dartmouth had their appointments from the ducal governor of New York. Sheepscot had been settled before King Philip's war, and was beginning to be a thriving vil- lage when, in that outbreak, it was assailed by the Indians, the inhabitants driven away and the dwellings burned. This was in 1675. It was not until after several years that efforts were made to resettle, and, as the surveys were in 1686, Capt. Manning, going there as early as 1684, must have been among the first of the new inhabitants. In the latter year he was appointed captain 666 THE MANNING FAMILY. of a foot-company (that is, of the militia), and, as early as 1686, June 8, was marshal of Falmouth. He was appointed justice of the peace 1686, Sep. 8, and, Sep. 17, sub-collector, surveyor and searcher of His Majesty's Customs and Excise. The date of his appointment as captain in 1684 has been given as Apr. 28, but as a following paper will show, he held that oflice previously, and all alleged dates as to his several appointments may, perhaps, be ap- proximately correct rather than exact. As an officer he did not always give satisfaction to those under him. The inhabitants of New Dartmouth petitioned to the governor of New York, 1684, Apr. 21, in these words : "Wee Presume ffurther to acquaint yo"": Hono"': That wee have heare amongst vs one Cap' Nicholas Manning Cap*, of a Company That is very Troublesome, and Dotli much Obraide & Disturbe vs in our bnisenesse, Towues Men & Overseers That are Legnally Cliossen by y« Towne he Doth Disturbe at Publique Meetings, about their Towne af- faires, he allso braggs That his power is better than Our's, and sayeth he will settle whom he will and where he plese, w<^'' makes Fartyes & Divisions amongst vs, To our great Trouble." If this petition received attention it did not cheek Capt. Manning's progress toward new and higher official positions, and, if the date of his appointment as captain is correct, it would seem that he had previously held that office informally, and that he was duly appointed thereto seven days after the date of the petition. One paper of this date (1684) calls him "government commis- sioner" among the inhabitants of New Dartmouth. In 1684, Sep., depositions were made by several persons at the above place rela- tive to an assault and battery committed by Capt. Manning upon Gyles Goddard, who had been appointed lieutenant of his com- pany at the same time that he was made captain. Action in this case is not found. Official duties were not the only engrossing matter of Capt. Manning's attention at his new home. The death of his first wife has not been found on record, but he had married, secondly, and, it would seem, as early as 1686, Mary, daughter of John Mason. Mr. Mason Avas the leading man and largest land- holder of New Dartmouth. He had purchased, 1652, Jan. 20, of Robin Hood, Dick Swash and Jack Padding, three Indian chiefs, or Sagamores, as they were termed, a large tract of land, and this tract figured largely in affairs then and for 100 years afterwards. |(| As Mr. Mason's son-in-law, Nicholas was interested in this prop- DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 667 erty, and, both iu that capacity and in connection with the survey of New Dartmouth following his above appointment in 1686, had much to do therewith. He seems, says the history of Ancient Sheepscot, to have been a partner with Mr. Mason, and Nicholas* own "estate" ran down to and included Bartow's Island, Sawyer's Island and the upper end of Cape Newaggon Island. The lands claimed by Mason and Manning amounted to 12,000 acres. The survey made in 1686, before mentioned here, was performed under Capt. Manning's supervision,* if not, as is likely, directly by his own hands, and it is probable that the following paper was entered in the book of records thereof by him in person, " The Bounds off the Land of Capt.

Nicholas continued in favor with the authorities at New York, and, 1688, July 11, he was appointed Judge of the Inferior Court of Cornwall Co, (This county, which soon became extinct, comprised, during its existence, all the territory of the Province of Maine which lay east of the Kennebec river). Capt. Manning was now at the height of his fame. AVell known as a brave sol- dier, and entrusted with high civil office, he was, it may be said, within a step of enduring celebrity, but events for which he was not responsible were working to produce a crisis which was to undo him. The early Charter of the Colony of MassacJuisetts, which, among its other favorable features, allowed the people the privilege of choosing their own officers, was annulled by King James II, of England, and, in 1686, Sir Edmund Andros was ♦See Maine Historical CoUections, Series 1, Vol. iv, page 22i; also History of Ancient Sheepscot, page 41. 668 THE MANNING FAMILY. made governor by his royal master of what is now the New Eng- land States, against the will of the Colonists. Oppressions fol- lowed, the scope of which has been thus defined : " The House of Representatives [of Massachusetts] was suppressed, the people crushed with imposts, and forbidden to assemble in town meeting to deliberate upon their grievances. They were imprisoned with- out trial, denied the riglit of Habeas Corpus, and thwarted in their attempts to reach the throne by direct petition." Governor An- dros, zealously aided by his officers at Boston, was an ever- ready executor of the king's will in these matters, and his tyrannical course brought upon him odium which time has not effaced. James n was not more popular in England, and a timely revolt there swept him from the throne and placed thereon William and Mary as his successors. The Colonists took dangerous chances, rose against the hated Andros, seized him, and sent him, under arrest, to England. His downfall brought all his oflScers in the Colonies to grief ; they were arrested and imprisoned. The writer has not found to what extent Capt. Manning showed his zeal in carrying out Andros' orders, nor whether he gained unpopularity during this crisis, but, as an appointee of the fallen party and an office-holder under Andros, he shared the fate of the others and was imprisoned in Boston. He soon made efforts to secure his freedom, as the following petition shows ; this paper being in his own handwriting, and now to be found in the Massachusetts Archives, Vol. 107, page 89 : " flrome the prison in boston the 8 June 1689 vnto Gonernor Brad- strett and the Gentlemen now Asserabelled tfor the Cousauvatiou off the peess in bostou in new England Humbly Showeth "Gentlemen.

" Consented to by the Gov^ and Council " IsA Addington Secy." From this paper it will be seen tlaat Capt. Mauuing was re- leased under bail. He remained within reach of the Court, but seems never to have been brought to trial ; the Suttblk Co. records contain no reference to such a trial, from which it may be inferred that proceedings against him were dropped. This was certainly no more than justice, unless he had, as a judge, exceeded the due bounds of his authority, for it was neither a crime nor a misde- meanor that, having been properly appointed to an office by the lawful (though^tyraunical) governor of the Colony, he was at his post of duty when that governor's downfall occurred. It will be seen that, in his first petition, Capt. Manning refers not only to his participation in the '' last war " (King Philip's), but states that he served eight mouths in "the late service to the Eastward." This was doubtless the Indian outbreak in Maine which Andros brought about by indiscreet and characteristic conduct in 1687, during which the latter headed an unsuccessful expedition in Nov., 1688. It was probably during aud following this campaign that Nicholas served " to the eastward." His financial losses, men- tioned in the petition, were caused by the destruction of New Dartmouth, 1688, Sep. 5, when it was assailed by Indians. With the exception of here and there a solitary house, all buildings on the extensive tract were consigned to the flames. Whether Nich- olas succeeded in his hope of recovering the "• sixteen head of neat cattle" does not appear, but King William's war followed, the In- dians were long active, resettlement was impossible, and for 30 years the territory lay waste. That Capt. Manning did not yield passively to adversity is shown by an item in Mather's " Mag- iialia," which mentions the " submission and agreement of the Eastern Indians at^JFort William Henry in Pemmaquid [Maine], the 11 day of Aug., 1G93," etc The articles of submission were signed by iMadocawando, Wassambomet, Katterramogis, aud seven other Indians, while other signers were John Wing, Nicholas Man- ning, Benjamin Jackson and various interpreters. Whether the DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 671 three men just named were merely witnesses, or, as seems prob- able, were government agents, it shows that lie had not abandoned his efforts to regain his property in New Dartmouth. But if he was willing to risk reoccupation of the deserted home, other land- holders, it seems, were not. The Indians were still there, great danger would menace a settler, and, as before stated, the lands long lay desolate. Capt. Manning continued to reside for some time in Boston. He was taxed there in 1691, and, in 1696, he and others were notified to renew the licenses granted to them by the General Quarter Sessions in 1695 as retailers of the spirit- uous drinks then in demand. This calling then had no reproach attached to it, for the law aimed to license only men of good re- pute, and the holder of such a privilege was highly respected by the best citizens. He was still in Boston 1697, March, when he was involved in a lawsuit concerning a quantity of wood. In 1701 a committee appointed by the General Assembly to consider the accounts of officials who had held office under Gov. Andros reported in favor of paying the " wages " of certain of that num- ber (Archives 101-214), among whom was Nicholas Manning. His residence at that time has not been found. Soon after, if not before then, he changed his residence to Stateu Island, New York. In 1702, Apr. oO, John Gonzales petitioned to tlie New York As- sembly for relief against Nicholas Manning who. according" to his claim, had " dispossessed " him of a lot of land on Staten Island, but whether Nicholas had acted in a personal or official capacity has not been learned. In 1708, Aug. 26, a return was made by Joseph Billings. Jacques Pulyon and Nicholas Manning of the survey of the south division, Richmond Co. (Staten Island), from the main road to South Bay, which shows him again in a public occupation. During his early years at Salem he had purchased several lots of land, some of which remained in his possession until he sold them to his brother Jacob Manning, 1709, June 30, when he was still residing on Staten Island. He was then termed gunsmith, and may have been following his old trade. He was living on Staten Island 1719, Dec. 4, when, together with his wife Mary, he sold to his son John, of Boston, certain rights in the New Dartmouth lands (Deeds of York Co., Me., xii-184 and xx- 163), and, aged 77, was living in 1721 when a letter was written to him by the aforesaid son (see sketch of John, 12). At this time Nicholas' i-esidence was given as Long Island, which, if cor- 672 THE MANNING FAMILY. rect, as it doubtless was, points to a new home in New York state for his old age. Here, as far as the compiler has learned, obliv- ion falls around him. When and where he died has not been learned. It has been shown that he was twice married. His first wife, to whom he was m. at Salem, 16G3, June 23, was Elizabeth, widow of Robert Gray. When she was born and when she died has not been learned, nor is her maiden name known ; it is said that she was " a kinswoman of Thomas Wickes, of Salem." but how she was related to him is not found. She must have been consid- erably the senior of Nicholas, for, of the eight children by her marriage to Mr. Gray, the eldest was born in 1651, when Nicholas was but seven years old. Capt. Manning married (2d) as early as 1686, Mary, dan. of John and Elizabeth (Gent) Mason, of New Dartmoutli. An important question, which cannot be an- swered now, is : Did Capt. Nicholas leave descendants so that his line was continued long after his own death? He had a son (John) by his first marriage who, as the sketch of that sou will show, married and lived in Boston, but whether John had children is un- known. Again, Capt. Nicholas was not more than 38 years old when he married Maiy Mason, and it is highly probable that she was younger ; hence, there may have been children by this second marriage. One of his petitions when in prison at Boston mentions his " famil}'," but this does not prove that he then had young children. Theoretically, it seems very unlikely that his line died out with the death of himself and his son John. Documentary evidence exists which shows that individuals named Manning were long after interested in the Sheepscot lands. This tract was for many years a subject of contention. The reckless bestowal of grants to different persons at various times by different men high in authority led, in many cases, to the same land being granted to three different settlei's, and, as the Indian troubles long kept them away from their possessions, the fruit of the indiscriminate allot- ments came in the next century, when the original settlers were deceased. Their heirs then held conflicting claims, and the Courts had plenty of work and perplexity to decide the several cases. Of the evidence which we could wish we possessed, much has been forever lost by the burning of the Boston Court House in 1748 ; the highly important documents referred to in the History of Ancient Sheepscot have not been found, and the meagre records bearing on the point that have been discovered do not serve to solve the DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. fi73 various mysteries pertaining to Capt. Mauuiug and liis line. In the Essex County Court Records (which are included in the Suffolk Count}' Court Files) appears the following paper, now numbered 31790, and which is highly important : " Province of Massachusetts Ba\'. To the Honorable His Majesty's Justices &c to be holden at Boston in and for the county of Suflblk on the second tuesday of March A ]) 1768. Humbly Shews. " Thomas Manning of the town of Moi'eland county of Philadelphia and province of pennsilvania Gent'", That he as heir to John Mason late of a place called Sheepscutt river in the county of Lincoln in the province of the Massachusetts Bay deceased, is owner of one fourth part of all the lands tenements & hereditaments lying in or near said River, which did belong to said Mason at the time of his death, more especially of about eighteen hundred acres of land, lying in or near said Sheepscut River, and heretofore laid out to Job Lewis late of Boston afores"* Esq*" since deceased and to Captain David Cargill since deceased and to David Allyn since deceased ; which lands and premises said Mason purchased of three Indian Sagamores viz^ Robin Hood, Dick Swash and Jack Pudding — That it is inconvenient to the petitioner to hold his said fourth part as it now lies in common and undivided with the heirs or assigns of the said Lewis, Cargill and Allyn, and therefore he prays your Honors to cause partition of the said lands and premises to be made pursuant to law to and among the parties interested therein, & that the said petitioner's said fourth part thereof may be sett off and assign'd to him to hold in severalty, & as in duty bound «S:c dated at Boston aforesaid the sixteenth day of September Anno Domini 1767 [Signed] Nathaniel Fitz R.vndolph, attorney & substitute of Ephraim Manning, who is attorney to tlie above named Thomas Manning." Notice of this petition was served upon Samuel VVaterhouse, of Boston, and Mary Cargill, widow, of Milton ; the case was ad- vertised in the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston News Letter of 1768, Apr. 7, and the petition was granted at a session of the Superior Court of Judicature held at Ipswich 1769, the third Tues- day of June. Between two pages of the records of tlie above Court now lies a letter written by Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, and addressed to "Col. Samuel Winthrop or Col. Nathaniel Hatch," who were Clerks of the Court at Boston. It is as follows : " Prince-Town, Ncav Jersey State, May 10th 1783 Sir Perhaps you may Remember That in June 1769 : at ipswich Court as attorney for Thomas Manning, I did obtain a Court order for a Divis- (43) H74 THE MANNING FAMILY. iou of Eighteen himdred acres of Laud near Sheepscot River : to set apart one fourth part of s^ Land to s"!

Now Sir if you will send a chap* to buy them he shall have them for a small part of their Worth. I have authentic power & Writings to produce to any purchaser & for any service you do me in the afl'air I will amply satisfie you S"- Yo'-' Nathaniel Fitz Randolph." The present writer fails to learn from this letter whether Mr. Fitz Randolph was then acting as attorney for Thomas Manning, or had acquired the latter's claim and rights. The latter possibility seems the more likely from the terms of the letter. However this may have been there is no record of the sale of the land up to 1800, and it seems likely that the claim was valueless. In the early part of the Eighteenth Century a Mr. Tappan had largely bought the rights of John Mason's heirs, and he was one of those involved in the legal contentions over the conflicting claims before mentioned. He lost his ease in 1741, and was defeated in all subsequent ap- peals to the higher Courts. Hence, if Mr. Fitz Randolph's claims rested on the same basis, and he declares that they were grounded on Mason's purchase, his right had long before been held void. But, if this was so, why did the Court make a division in severalty in 1769? Perhaps some distinction was drawn between grant and the purchase of the three Sagamores, but, if so, why was the land never either occupied or sold? The case is utterly confusing, nor is any light gained by study of the History of Ancient Sheepscot. The chief interest in the affair lies in the fact that, as we know that Capt. Nicholas Manning married a daughter of John Mason, and that there was a Thomas Manning who, in 1767, claimed land at Sheepscot as an heir of John Mason, it would, at first, seem to be proved positively that Captain Manning's son John had left children, or that Nicholas, himself, had children by his second wife. But there is a check to this assumption. On, or * Chap— An obsolete term for " purchaser." DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. K75 near page 27 of the History of Ancient Sheepscot, iu a copy of one of Capt. Manning's surveys, is mention of " John Manning's lot," and on or about page 40 the historian saj'S, "John Manning lived near the common [at Sheepscot]. He married John Mason's daughter." If this is correct we are introduced, iu the person of this John Manning, to a man new to the researches of this volume, and of whom there is no previous or subsequent sign ; and, if there was such a man, it may have been from him, not from Nicholas Manning, that Thomas Manning, of Moreland, was descended. But was there such a man ? The author of Ancient Sheepscot was an able man, an antiquarian and a conscientious recorder, but it is no discredit to his memory to suggest that he may have made an error. Capt. Manning evidently secured all the land he could at Sheepscot. His son John was then advancing toward his majority. Did the father secure a " lot" for the son, and was it the sou who figured at Sheepscot? Was the historian misled by finding ;i John Manning among John Mason's heirs into believing that there was a John Manning who married one of Mason's daughters ? This seems a reasonable theory, yet it cannot be affirmed that the his- torian was wrong when he said there was such a marriage. In preparing his history he had the use of manuscript papers which had descended through various families of other names. Since his decease several persons, including the present writer, have tried to find these pa])ers. One item of information is that it is supposed they are destroyed, but, at present, this cannot be determined. To gain light on the mysteries here presented the State Papers of Maine and Massachusetts, the deeds of Lincoln county, and the deeds, wills and court records of York county have been searched in vain. Thomas Manning, of Moreland, was either a descendant of Nicholas Manning, or else there was a mysterious John Man- ning, of Sheepscot, from whom Thomas descended. Which? York County Deeds xii-184 and xx-163 show that, 17U», Dec. 4, Nicholas Manning sold to his son John, of Boston, certain lands at Sheepscot. This sale was not recorded at the countj^ registry, but is mentioned in the :ibove deeds. It seems that the conveyance from father to son was of oOOO acres or more. Of this area John sold 1500 acres 1721, May 1, to John Oulton and Cornelius Waldo, both of Boston, and the remaining half, 1500 acres, 1725, Aug. 24, to Job Lewis. These lands are described in John's deeds as, chiefly, a tract Nicliolas had received by patent from John Palmer, I^sq., of New York, by virtue of a warrant from Lieut. -Gov. Dongan, H76 THE MANNING FAMILY. 1686, Sep. 17; also other tracts formerly the property of John Mason, which descended to his daughter Mary, wife of Nicholas Manning. Reference to the claim of Thomas Manning, before given, will show that the name of Job Lewis, just mentioned, also appears in what Thomas claimed. In 1767 Thomas was owner of one- fourth part of a tract in which Lewis was another owner. Was the land sold by John Manning in 1721 and 1725 the last that he and Nicholas owned? Or was a part retained, and claimed by Thomas in 1767? Or was there a mysterious John Manning, and did Thomas claim under his right? As if this confusion was not enough, another link in the broken chain appears to confront us. In the miscellaneous families mentioned in this volume will be found that established in New Jersey by Jeffrey Manning. The latter had a grandson, Ephraim Manning, born 1701 (see sketch of Jeffrey's family), who married Elizabeth Fitz Randolph, born 1708, Dec. 31, and this Elizabeth was sister of one Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, born 1703, Nov. 11, who, it is said on excellent author- ity, must have been the same man who figured in the Thomas Manning claim. Here we have, it seems, the Mr. Fitz Randolph and the Ephraim Manning mentioned in that claim, but nowhere in the New Jersey family is there found any Thomas Manning at that period. That he was related to the New Jersey race seems almost certain, since Ephraim Manning and Nathaniel Fitz Ran- dolph were successively his " attorneys," and it is almost equally certain that he was not a direct descendant of Jeffrey. There are Mannings now living in Center Morelaud, Pa., but repeated efforts to obtain information from them have failed ; no answer has been made to the compiler's many letters of inquiry. From another source comes the information that the ancestors of those now there were from Orange county, N. Y., and it is not thought that thej' are descendants of Thomas. Attention may here be directed to the Manning family of Duchess county, N. Y. (see miscellaneous families) ; perhaps they were descended from Capt. Nicholas, but this is a mere conjecture. The important question. Did Capt. Nicholas have descendants after he and his son John passed away? must for the present remain unanswered.

JACOBS MANNING (Richardi) b. 1660, Dee. 25, at Dartmouth, Eng. He came to Salem, jNIass., in 1679 in the ship Hannah and Elizabeth, and resided in that town during his entire after life. He was by trade a gunsmith, and followed tliat calling nearly all, and probably all, his life. He held numerous town offices ; was one of the founders of the Episcopal church in Salem, and an officer thereof ; and probably lived nearer to the plane of fashionable life than most of his American-born neighbors. At a meeting of the selectmen in 1681 Jacob, then less than 21 years of 678 THE MANNING FAMILY. age, " was warned uot to sitt any more in ye fore gallery of the meeting honse, thereby keeping ont others unto whom the place belonged." This record contrasts, and shows the difference be- tween boy and man, with another of 1706, Feb. 5, when it was " ordered that Mr. Jacob Manning shall sit in ye fore seat in ye fore gallery in ye meeting-house on ye Sabbath days & y* his wife shall sit in ye fore long seat below." Husband and wife were, at that day, separated during the time of church services by the cus- tom which placed men and women in different parts of the build- ing, each sex by itself. In 1695 Jacob, with others, was "granted liberty to turn the course of water through the common, from pond to pond." He is termed Lieutenant Jacob Manning in a deed of 1697, the title probably being acquired in militia service. He held the office of deputy-marshal at the time of the witchcraft troubles in 1692, aud, as such, was called upon to arrest at least one of the unfortunates of that delusion (Mr. English). No evidence has been found to show that he was either active or conspicuous in the persecution ; the one case mentioned is the only one in which he is known to have had part, and, it will be seen, his action was strictly in the line of official duty. He was elected constable 1694-5, '97, '99, 1700, or five years ; selectman, 1718-21, '24-7, or eight years ; moderator oi town meeting, 1727, and held other offices of less importance. He was a petit juryman 1709, '16, '28, and grand juryman, 1713. At various times he did work for the town in the way of his trade. At a town meeting it was ordered "y*y®Towne Treasurer get Mr. Manning to make a handsome Iron for the hour- glass to stand in at the meeting-house." In 1725 he was paid £8.14sh. for ironwork for the town, the nature of which is unknown. In 1727 he was paid for boards and nails furnished for the block- house, and, in 1 728, he was placed in charge of work on said block- house. Here is a glimpse of pioneer life, as the building was for defense against hostile Indians. Undoubtedly, the nails which he furnished were hand-wrought, and of his own fashioning, and they went to make the block-house secure. At various times he was on special committees to consider boundary questions and the like. He was always prominent in church affairs, and was a tithingmau at an early date. In 1717 he was one of a committee of seven or eight men appointed to act in the matter of erecting a " meeting- house for the public worship of God," toward the eastern end of Salem, and this committee purchased land of one Christopher Bab- DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 879 bidge for £19. They are termed " the committee and all others that shall join with them in the support of an orthodox minister of God." But Lieut. Manning's inclinations were toward the religion of a different creed, and when St. Peter's J^piscopal church was erected he was connected with the project from its infancy to com- pletion, and afterwards a member until his death. He was on the committee organized as early as 1783 to accomplish this wor]c,and, when the edifice was completed, was among those who pledged themselves to pay the salary of their first minister, Rev. Charles Brockwell. Lieut. Manning was also one of the six original ves- trymen, and held that office for years afterwards. In 1741 he gave £5 toward the purchase of a bell for this church. He pur- chased, 1696-7, Feb. 26, of Robert Fuller and wife Margaret, of Salem, for £65, the Fuller homestead, dwelling-house, barn and 10 acres of land, bounded on the south by "the common or highway," and, also, another lot of 10 acres which bordered the first on the northwest, and this second lot was bounded on the northeast by " the river." He appears in numerous other deeds, he and his children having had long connection with the landed intei'ests of the Stone family (of which Jacob's wife was a member), and from which family his children received substantial bequests. The will of Lieut. Manning here follows : " In the Name of God Amen.

Pro- longed and wide search has been made to learn her maiden name, but without success. In 1743 Samuel and Margaret sold land in New Salem which had been an original grant to Thomas (?) Luf- kin, but how their ownership came about is unknown. Mr. Bodge's " Soldiers of King Philip's War " shows that one Timothy Lufkin was a soldier of said war ; that his sou Thomas was a claimant for his services and one of the grantees of Amherst, N. H., and that his right there was " drawn by Samuel Manning." There is a very remote possibility that Margaret was a daughter and heiress of Thomas Luflvin, but the land transactions noted may be accounted for with equal probability ou the theory that the Mannings had purchased the rights from Lufkin. Margaret was living in 1748, and probably in 1755, when Samuel's wife is mentioned, but not by name. Mr. Manning d. 1774, Sep. 19, at Oxford. It is an impossibility to give a complete list of his children. Their birth was not recoi'ded, nor has their baptism been found, and, except for his two sons, no sign is found in Salem of any one who may, theoretically, have been a child of his. Perhaps he had several who, like many of his brothers and sisters, died young. Whether any of the unconnected persons in Boston, of the proper period [see appendix], were of his family cannot be told; it is d oubtful DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 699 if they were.

RICHARDS MANNING (Thomas,^ Richard') b. about 1700, at Ipswich, Mass. He always resided in his native town and was by trade a gunsmith. He was also a large landholder and doubtless engaged as a farmer. He was a captain of militia, and, 1757, August, in the old French war, went at the head of his company to the relief of Fort William Henry, following the general alarm of that time. The Colonial rolls call his company a "troop of horse," and it was a part of Col. Daniel Applctou's regiment. Capt. Manning's company is credited with marching from Ipswich Aug. 17, and to Springdeld, from which it would seem that they went no further, perhaps receiving more favorable news from the front. Whether this was his only service does not appear ; no more has been found on rolls now available. He was a prominent citizen. By his will he gave, first, to his wife Sarah the south-west end of his dwelling-house and improvement of ad- .ioining land, the privilege of the barn, a cow, etc., for life; secondly, to his wife and his daughter Anstice, his riding chaise ; thirdly, to his grandchildren, the children of his daughter Mary Barker, deceased, £2.13.4, to be divided equally; and, fourthly, the residue of his estate as follows : To his daughter Anstice Chipman and her heirs, one-third ; to his daughter Martha Tarle- ton and her heirs, one-third, and the remaining third to his grand- sons Jonathan and Thomas Morong, in equal parts, they being children of his daughter Priscilla Heath.

He graduated at Harvard College in 1725 ; the first of his name to enter that institution of learning, and, settling in liis native town, was for more than 50 years a phy- sician. As such he was eminent, and long and favorably known. Younger men, preparing for the medical profession, studied under his instruction. It is fortunate that the inventory of his estate, taken after his decease, names in detail sundry books which con- stituted his medical library, and it is safe to believe that, for that period, it was a very extensive equipment, comprising, as it did, twenty different works which were mentioned specifically, and of which eight were of two volumes each. The list is valuable, too, in that it shows what authors were then of good standing. Some other items of the inventor}' are in the line of his profession, and carry us directly to the typical old-time doctor's office — the eleven pill pots ; the iron mortar, the bell metal mortar and the lignum vitse mortar, each with its appropriate pestle ; the gallipot ; the three-gallon glass bottle, the five-quart and 30 smaller bottles, and the eleven bottles of " white flint with flint ' stopples.' " His library was not confined to what has been indicated above, for he had " 120 bound books on Different subjects " and " a large num- ber of pamphletes," the nature of which cannot be known. A doctor of that day was a man second in importance only to the local minister, and one much respected, looked up to and consulted. DESCENDANTS OF RICHAED MANNING. 705 His education was far superior to that of liis neighbors, and he was credited with profound wisdom. He was the learned associate of the minister, and often called upon in public and private busi- ness affairs. Such was the typical doctor, and we may be sure that Dr. Manning filled a like position in his own community. Furthermore, the testimony of those who knew him personally has been handed down through the generations, and is to the effect that " he was above the average, both in bodily and mental endow- ments ; a skillful and trusted physician, and withal a very good man. He had a spice of roguish slyness, and was not averse to exciting, sometimes, the puzzled amazement of his less acute and more credulous neighbors. An example may be given. Dr. Man- ning owned the lot which is nearly opposite to the present town house, and put up the square edifice still standing there. To make a substantial wall upon the river side he needed lai-ge stones. In the river-bed, a mile or two down, there were boulders in abun- dance. Selecting at low tide one of these, he would put a chain about it and so mark its position as to be able to find it with no other light but the stars and moon. At night, the ebbing tide would find the wily doctor with his boat anchored over the rock, which would soon after be grappled to the little skiff. Then as the sea wave came, the lifting and wafting force of the water was all that was needed to place the boulder in the very spot where he wished to have it. Small wonder that passers by on the follow- ing morning, seeing a large stone h'ing where no stone had been the night before, and looking like a vast meteorite which had fallen from the sky, should turn their eyes askance as the young doctor passed, and almost fancy they detected a whiff of brimstone in the air." His attention was not all given to medicine ; he owned 75 or more acres of land, and must have engaged, though perhaps indirectly, at farming. Another industry is suggested by an entry in the Ipswich town book for the year 1732, as follows : " Joseph Manning is allowed to erect a wharf. The town agree to have one at their expense, as a landing place, at 6d. a load." Administra- tion on Dr. Manning's estate, he having left no will, was granted by the Court, 1784, June 7, to his son Dr. John Manning, who gave bond for the faithful discharge of his duties, with Francis Cogswell and Jacob Manning as sureties. The inventory was taken July 30, by William Story, Jr., Samuel Adams and Nathan- iel Fitz, and was as follows : 45 706 THE MANNING TAMELY.

Near these graves are those of their two daughters, Mrs. McKean and Mrs. Lord, and except for those here enumerated there is a dearth of early gravestones to Mannings in the town of Ipswich.

There is no reason to believe that the Thomas of this section was the same as the above- mentioned No. 106, except the fact that 106 was from Ipswich. Otherwise, the possibility is improbable.

ROBERT^ MANNING (Samuel,^ Jacob,^ Richard') was undoubtedly born at Salem, though his birth is not on record. Ab- solutely no details of importance can be given of him, for, except for one record which shows positively that he was a son of Sam- uel Manning, nothing has been found of him in old documents. It is believed that he was, like his father, a gunsmith, or blacksmith, and it is probable that he worked with his father. His death is not recorded, nor is there any estate to be found in the Probate Office. This was, it is thought, because, working with his father, he had accumulated but little independently, and as his children were afterwards cared for by the grandfather, it would seem that there was no call for an inventor^' of mere household effects. He probably died before the departure of his father from Salem, in 1748. Robert m. at Salem, 1738, Mch. 30, Hannah, dau. of John Green. Of their children only three are known, and the others here named as possible children of Robert are included for pres- ervation. Ch. : 92. Sajiuel, b. 1739, at Salem. 93. Hanxaii, date of birth unknown; intention of marriage at Salem, 17G4, Oct. 20, with George OUver, "late of Madeira, now of Salem." No children have been found on record, nor is more known of Hannah. Samuel Manning, her grandfather, in his will, mentions his granddaughter "the widoAV Hannah Weld, of Salem." Possibly she was this Hannah, twice widowed in 1773, but Mrs. "Weld is, perhaps, more likely to have been the child of a daughter of Samuel of whom we know nothing. A certain Edward Weld and wife Hannah were of Marblehead in 1766. No known connection exists between them and the widow Hannah Weld of the year 1773, yet there may have been one. 94. Robert, b. about 174G, at Salem. 95. ? Sarah. Perhaps no such child. In his will the above Samuel Man- ning mentions his great grandchildren, Samuel, Matthew and Robert Martin. Whether they were grandchildren of one of • his sons or of a daughter, does not appear. There was a Samuel Martin, of Marblehead, who d. 1789, Dec. 28, aged 38, (709) 710 THE MANNING FAMILY. hence, born 1751; and Sarah, his wife, d. 1779, Dec. 23, aged 31, hence, born 1748. These are the only persons yet found who could have been parents of the three brothers named above, but it is considered very unlikely that they were the parents. After Samuel Manning, the younger [92], removed to New Salem, Mass., he sold 46 acres of land there, 1789, Aug. 3, to Matthew Martin, of that town, probably the same man mentioned in the will of Samuel Manning, the elder [27]. 9G. ? Betty. Perhaps no such child. One Betty Manning and Philip Gilbert, 4th, were ni. 1770, Jan. 11, at Brookfleld. The fact that the latter toAvn lies very near Oxford, to which place Sam- uel Manning [27] and several of his grandchildren had removed, and that the name of Gilbert soon reappeared in this branch of the family, leads to the belief that this marriage has been correctly placed, but this cannot be asserted. 55. JACOB" MANNING (Samuel,3 Jacob,^ Richardi). Neither the date of his birth nor that of his death is known, as they are not on record. He resided at Salem and m. there 1745, July 2, Mary, dau. of Joshua and Margaret (Lambert) Tyler, bap. 1727-8, Jan. 21, at Salem. Mary was a niece of the Hannah Lambert who married Jacob's uncle, Benjamin Manning. Mary m. (2d) 1750, June 7, Stephen Webb, which shows that Jacob Manning had died before that date. It is not known that he left children, as far as actual records show, for no birth is recorded ; but the will of his father mentions grandchildren who, it would seem, must have been daughters of Jacob, since we are not pi-epared to allot them to his brother Robert. On this evidence they are included here. 97. ? Elizabeth ; mentioned in the above will ; probably a daughter of Jacob. Single in 1773, and living in Salem; possibly the same whose marriage intention with John Flein [Flynu?] was "pub- lished" at Salem, 1774, Oct. 8. 98. ? Sarah; mentioned in the will; probably daughter of Jacob. Single in 1773, and residing in Salem. Was she the same whose marriage intention with John Curtis was published at Salem, 1780, Jan. 15 ? 64.

MANNING (John,3 Thomas,^ Richard^) bap. 1741, June 14, at Ipswich, Mass. He was a farmer in his native place. As a soldier he served in two wars. lu the French-and- Indiau war he served 39 weeks and 5 days, in 1760, in Capt. Israel Herrick's company. In the Revolution his name appears three times on the Rolls. He marched on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, under Capt. Thomas Burnham; served in 1777 from Sep. 30 to Nov. 7 under Capt. David Low and Col. Charles Smith, and in 1781 from July 13 to Dec. 1 under Capt. John Robinson and Col. William Turner. In both of the latter terms he held the office of sergeant. By his will, drawn 1811, Jan. 22, he gave to his wife (not mentioned by name) ; to his daughters Mary and Sarah a room in his house, and to each $80 to be paid them by his son William when the latter became 21 years of age ; to his said son William his "horse and shay," and a wood-lot ly- ing in Chebacco woods "over the ponds ;" to his sons John and Joseph $100 each, to be paid them by his son Richard, who was made executor of the will, and the residue of the estate to his sons Richard and William.

He may have been a Revolutionary soldier. There is service on record in that war which cannot be allotted pos- itively, but which, theoretically, seems to apply to him.

RICHARD4 MANNING (John,3 Thomas,^ Richardi) b. 1755, May 29, at Ipswich, Mass. He was, it is believed, the Revolutionary soldier of his name uuder Capt. Jedediah Goodwin and Col. Joseph Prime, having enlisted 1780, May 17, for eight months. Perhaps he served further. He early settled in Salem and engaged as a blacksmith, but business enterprise led to an ex- tension of his undertakings. He established the Salem and Boston stage company, a feature of life in the town at that time which DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 715 finds frequent mention in local publications relating to the Salem of that clay, and an enteri)rise in wliich some of his children shared. He purchased, 1795, Sep. 23, for $oOO, land in Raymond, Cum- berland Co., Me., of Samuel Sjnnonds, of Danvers, and, the next month, made two additional purchases at a total cost of ^906 in the same town. Other like acquirements followed until he became the owner of a very large tract. His and his children's transac- tions there fill several pages in the index-volume of the Cumber- land county Registry of Deeds, and, in later years, their operations became so extensive that his son Richard removed to Raymond and became manager of the business. The land lay near Sebago Lake. The subject of this sketch was probably the Richard Man- ning, Jr., who Avas one of the subscribers to build the ship Essex about 1800, as he used his name as here given. He was in the midst of his active life when, in 1813, he started for Raymond and lodged for the night at a house on an island in the Merrimack, where the chain bridge crosses, and was found dead in his bed in the morning. This island is now the property of Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spoftord, and is the site of her residence. The Salem Gazette for Apr. 20 contained the following obituary notice : "In Newbury, yesterday afternoon, Mr. Richard Manning, aged 59, a very respectable citizen of this town. He left his family in per- fect health on Saturday, on a journey to the eastward, and pi'O- ceeded as far as Newbury, and on the following morning was arrested by the hand of death, being found in his bed in a fit of apoplexy. His funeral will be this day at 5 o'clock froifi his late dwelling in Herbert street, which his relations and friends are de- sired to attend."

He had a passion for the sea and early became a sailor. Where he sailed is not now known. When on one of these voyages he probably lost his life, for he was seen no more and never heard from afterwards. The faces of sailors temporarily in Salem were long scanned, but without results. While some reports say he was "lost at sea" the belief of survivors of his family is that he was lost on some lake, and there was, at one time, a report that a vessel had gone down "on the lake " with a man of the name of Manning at the helm, but the report could not be verified. A letter written 1814, Feb. 25, from New York, by one Joseph Lakeman to Nathaniel Wells contained this passage : " I have the pleasure to inform you that I saw John Manning about six months ago in the city of New York. He informed me that he was going to the lakes to work at his trade." The term " the Lakes," in this letter, would seem to mean the Great Lakes, and may determine approximately the time and the place where John was lost. A manuscript written before 1850 has the following words after John's name : " L' N. of Peru." The only interpretation yet put upon this, puzzling abbreviation is " Lieutenant, Navy of Peru." Nothing is known of this by surviving relatives. 157. Priscilla Miriam, b. 1790, Jan. 10; d. 1873, Oct. 19; m, 1817, Oct. 17, John Dike, Jr., who d. 1871, Mch. 8. No ch. 158.

He studied medicine under his father's direction, and then commenced practice, at the age of twenty, at Newmarket, N. H. After one year he returned to Ipswich, where he resided and practiced the remainder of his life. As there were no medical colleges or hospitals in America at that day, Dr. Manning, at the age of thirty-three, and after some twelve years of active practice, crossed the ocean to perfect his medical education in England. Returning to this country 1772, DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 717 May 8, after a course of six months training in the hospitals and lecture rooms of London, his practice soon became extensive. On the 19th of April, 1775, the day of the battle of Lexington, he drove to Boston to bring his sister, Mrs. McKean, to Ipswich. When near Boston he overtook a British officer, severely wounded, to whom he freely gave the medical attention which he greatly needed. For this humane act the officer gave Dr. Manning a pass which enabled him to enter Boston and depart witli his sister. He arrived at Ipswich at night, arousetl his family', and, when he had collected such articles as he knew would be needed, hastened to the relief of those wounded in the battle, giving to his suffering countrymen such aid as his skill and medicine could accomplish. His grandson, Joseph Bolles Manning, P^sq., is authority for the further statement that, when this was done, he assisted the British surgeons in caring for their wounded, "and by his direction both parties [of wounded] were reinoved to Cambridge, where he at- tended six weeks until they were discharged." This was, on his part, an early application of the doctrine, since common to all civilized nations, that in the presence of those suffering after bat- tle, all partisan feeling should be forgotten. Later in the war he served as surgeon at Newport, R. I. In 1777 he strongly advo- cated inoculation for the prevention of small pox, which caused so much opposition and hostility that, for a time, it is said, his life seemed in danger. He was active in business enterprises. He bought and sold real estate outside of his own county, having transactions of this kind in Worcester Co., Mass., Hillsborough Co., N. H., and Cumberland Co., Me. In 1788 he, with others, made proposals to the Legislature for taking the poor of the Common- wealth which were in the almshouse at Boston, and removing them to Ipswich, where, with the selectman of that town to act as over- seers, the projectors of the plan would supply them with lodging, good, wholesome food, medical attendance, etc., for three-fourths of the then present expense. A paper was drawn up by the House to accept the proposal, but shows no sign of having been acted upon [House Document, 2640]. Ten years later, however, the doctor petitioned for the payment of expenses which he had incurred because, by direction of the selectmen of Ipswich, he had during the past year "supported several of the poor of the Commonwealth," proving that his plan had in some degree been carried into effect. The Acts and Resolves of Massachusetts for 718 THE MANNING FAMILY. 1790-1 show that he petitioned for payment of certain dues from the Commonwealth to enable and encourage him to carry on a woolen manufactory at Ipswich. The State agreed to pay from its treasury the interest due him on the State notes he held in his own name, and so much of the principal as should amount, with the interest, to £1,000, he first giving bond that the £1,000 should be within one year employed in a woolen manfactory in Ipswich. Whether this official action was satisfactory, and was accepted, has not been learned, but the enterprise was consummated. In 1792 the town of Ipswich granted Dr. Manning land for the erec- tion of the factory. This was, perhaps, the first woolen mill in the country. It stood upon the bank of the river, and was run by a windmill. It was a two-storied building, about 60 x 30 feet, and was at the foot of the hill, at the northwest corner of Choate Bridge. The structure now on the site is called Caldwell's Block. On the end of the building, away from the bridge, was a sign- board, about 5x24^ feet, with " Massacluisetts "Woolen Manu- factory " painted upon it, this being the name by which it was known. Blankets and flannels were made at the factory, which went into operation in 1794, but the enterprise was not a success, and it was closed in 1800. The doctor's son, Capt. Richard Man- ning, was superintendent of the mill, and his pattern-book is now in the possession of Mr. Francis H. Manning [348]. Dr. Man- ning's hospitality was widely known. The house he built on High street, Ipswich, still standing, was constructed with a view to in- dulging this characteristic. The partitions of the lower story were hung upon hinges at the ceiling, so that they could be raised, thus making one room of the hall and the rooms on each side. As an illustration of this hospitable proclivity his grandson, Richard H. Manning, related this incident: "Dr. Manning was riding one summer afternoon, about 1818, toward Hamilton, when he met a Company of Horse, known as the Salem Troop. Drawing up before the captain, whom he saluted as only he could do it, for he was an exceedingly courteous gentleman, stately, and venerable withal, he invited the Company to ride on to his house in Ipswich and take supper with him. The invitation being accepted, the doctor turned his horse and rode back to Ipswich at the head of the Troop, which soon drew up in front of the mansion on ' Pud- ding street,' now High street. This was the first intimation the family had of the intended feast, and I, a shaver of eight or nine DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 719 years, was dispatched to all the neighbors for spoons and cooked food to eke out the entertainment." Dr. Manning was elected representative from Ipswich 1781-2, '84, '87, '89-92 and '94, or a total of nine years. His skill and experience rendered him for a long time eminent in the medical profession ; all publications deal- ing with his county mention this fact, lie had his own opinions upon politics and religion, and was fond of power and resolute in carrying out his purposes. His character was marked by unvary- ing courtesy, a broad charity and great kindness of heart. In per- son he was tall and slender. His dress-sword descended through the family of his eldest son, and was presented about 1890 by his grandson, James Manning [239] to the latter's nephew. Dr. Joseph Manning [333], and was by Dr. Joseph given to his own grandson, John Manning [578].

SAMUEL'' MANNING (Robert,^ Sainuel,^ Jacob,^ Richard^) b. about 1739, at Salem, Mass. At an early age he went to Oxford, Worcester Co., and in the French-and-Indian war began, to the credit of that town, what was to be a long mili- tary career. In 1756 he was under Capt. Ebenezer Larned and Col. Timothy Ruggles in the expedition to the northern part of New York, and was in camp with his command at Lake George in September. The duration of this service does not appear, and it can only be said that it began as early as May 10 and contin- ued after Oct. 12. He also served in 1757, and probably in 1758. In 1759 he served under Capt. Jeremiah Learned from May 7 to Dec. 11, or 31 weeks and two days. In this campaign he was a sergeant. In the Revolution he marched from Oxford in Capt. John Town's company on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, and afterwards saw long service. He was under Capt. Jeremiah Ballard and Lt. Col. Samuel Williams, having enlisted 1776, May 10, and was still in service 1778, Dec. 30. The term may have continued much longer. In this campaign he was a first lieuten- ant. There are times during his eaily manhood that his residence is not certain. He married at Oxford in 1759. In 1763 some one named Samuel Manning and his wife Sarah united with the church at Sutton. It is believed that they were the subjects of this sketch, as no one else is known to fit the case. A Revolutionary roll of 1778 gives Samuel's residence as Montague, but it is be- lieved that this was an error, for in 1773, in his grandfather's will, Samuel is said to be of New Salem, and the latter was long his home. Montague and New Salem are adjoining towns ; probably he enlisted at the former place, which supposition would explain the statement of the roll. P'rom a date as early as 1773, then, to the close of his life, he resided in New Salem. There he was a church member, and this, with his military record (something that (722) DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 723 counted for more at that time than now), probably made him a prominent man locally, but the unfortunate fact that all of the New Salem town records were destroyed by fire in 1855 makes it impossible to learn what offices he held. He was a large land- holder. His first acquisitions in this line are not to be found on record, as they were lots "originally drawn" by his grandfather Manning. It is probable that said lots were deeded to him l)y ins grandfather, and recorded in the proprietors' book (which doubt- less shared the fate of the other records in 1855). He sold cer- tain "rights" in 1787; a 46-acre lot in 1789 to Matthew Martin; 50 acres in 1793 to Jeremiah Meacham, "and it is a fourth divi- sion of Lot No. 175 originally drawn by Samuel Manning" (his grandfather); 50 acres in 1794 to Sampson Marvin, "it being Lot No. 161 in tlie 4th division," and similarly acquired. Other sales followed. He purchased 100 acres in 1791, and 75 acres in 1793. He m. (1st) at Oxford, 1759, Apr. 22 (another account says Jan. 13) Sarah Pratt, b. 1740, Aug. 15. Her ancestry was Joseph"^ and Sarah (Hunkins) , her parents ; Jonathan- and Sarah (Gale), all of Oxford, and Thomas^ Pratt, wlio was of Water- town 1647 and, later, of Framingham. "When Sarah died has not been learned. Lieut. Manning m. (2d), before 1786, Lydia Thompson. She was living 1835, July 8, but when she died is unknown. Nothing has been ascertained as to her parentage; she purchased land in 1834 that had formerly been owned by Ezra Thompson, who may have been a near relative. Lieut. Manning was living 1811, Mch. 9, but died before 1818, Dec. 8. He had one child by his second marriage. Tradition says that there were no children by the first marriage, and as none have been found in the list of church baptism of infants by those who have searched there for the present Avriter, this statement seems to be confirmed in a degree. No estate of Lieut. Manning appears in the Probate Office, and he seems to have conveyed his property to his son. Ch. : 192. Samuel, b. 178R, Feb. 3, at New Salem. 94. ROBERT-^' MANNING (Robert,'' Samuel,^ Jacob,^ Richard") b. about 1746 at Salem, Mass. The latter part of his minority and most of his manhood years were passed at Oxford, Worcester Co. He was a soldier of long experience. In the French-and-Indian war he served in 1760 in Capt. Aaron Wil- lard's company from Mch. 29 to Dec. 8, or 36 weeics and 3 days ; 724 THE MANNING FAMILY. in 1761 uucler Capt. Thomas Cowdin from May 18 to Dec. 2, or 28 weeks and 3 days, and in 1762 from Mcli. 15 to Nov. 13, or 8 months and 20 days. In the Revolution he served at times from 1775 to 1780. He marched with Capt. John Town's company on the Lexington alarm, 1775, Apr. 19, and, the same year, Avas under Capt. Samuel Curtis and Col. Ebeuezer Learned for at least two months. In 1777 he served under Capt. John Nichols and Col. Jonathan Holmes. In 1779 he enlisted for nine months, serving first under Cai)t. Tucker and, later, under Capt. Wiley, in the Sth Regt. Near the end of this term of service he was reported as hav- ing been taken prisoner, but of this no more appears. At onetime he was a corporal. A slight description of him appears on a Roll of 1779 — "Age 33 years; height, 5 feet, 9 inches; complexion, light." In private life he was a farmer. He never purchased land, but unquestionably lived with and operated the farm of his grand- father Manning. This was sold in 1776, and in tlie same year his wife received by the will of her father, Nathaniel Eustes, 38 acres of land, with the buildings thereon, in the adjoining town of Charl- ton, whereupon they removed to that place. This Charlton estate she, then a widow, sold 179 1 , Aug. 30, to their son Jacob, who con- veyed the same, 1798, Apr. 10, to Luke Converse. Mr. Manning survived but five years after this removal. His death is not re- corded, but it was shortly before 1781, Apr. 17, when the inventory of his estate was presented. He had "one pair of oxen, one red cow, one black cow, one white faste cow, one two year old heffer, one yearling, eleven sheep and six lambs, two swine and one horse," and indoor and outdoor movables to the total value of £132.12.7, exclusive of divers notes of hand which aggregated nearly £75. The later accounting of the administratrix, his widow, showed a total of £227.18.5, which was reduced by offsetting items to £174.5.11, but the sum divided eventually, in 1784, was but £153.5.1. Of this the widow received £58.2 ; the eldest son £33, and each of the other children, £16.12. Mr. Manning m. at Charlton, 1765, July 11, Abigail, dau. of Nathaniel Eustes, of that town. In her later years she resided at Coventry, Chenango Co., N. y., with her son Samuel, by whose side she lies buried.

On his death Jeremiah Lord was appointed administrator. At a Court held the second Tuesday of December, 1844, it was ordered that all his personal estate should be sold at auction. An inventory was taken by Jacob Brown, Daniel Appletou and Daniel AVhipple of his real estate. The " house and homestead " was appraised at $1,350 ; a wood- land at Essex, $10 ; " one lot thatch banks, cross bank," $5.3, and " one lot marsh and thatch bank in Ilnndrcds," $30, making a to- tal of $1,443.

He married, according to family report, Mary Parsons, b. 1784, Feb. 29, at Ipswich, and d. there 1860, June 9. The family report is here accepted as prime authority, but a mar- riage at Ipswich is that of one William Manning, supposed to be the same, and " Mrs. Mary Treadwell." From this it appears that she was twice married. In the death-record of her son John H. her own birthplace is given as Marblehead. Mr. Manning d. 1860, May 27, at Ipswich. Ch. : 222.

Frederick Gleason was at that time the publisher of the most successful literary pci'iodicals of the popular class in the country. He published "The Line-of-Battle Ship." His most successful paper was, unless the writer's memory is at fault, called "The 728 THE MANNING FAMILY. Flag of Our Union." It seems that Mr. Manning was illustra- tor of these publications. His address was for the greater part of the time No. 156 Washington street (this was before the extension and renumbering of the street). In 1856 he had as a co-laborer S. E.

It is wholly impossible to give within the limits of this volume anything like such a sketch as the genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne demands. He shares with James Fenimore Cooper the honor of standing at the very front of American novelists, with no rival who ap- proaches them. Cared for and protected in his youth by his uncle, Robert Manning, and afterwards being sent to college by that same friend, he was thereby given chance to lay a sound foundation for his subsequent brilliant career. He was for a time connected with the Custom House at Salem as Surveyor of the Port, and was United States Cousul at Liverpool, Eng- land, 1853; but his greatest gifts lay in another direction. He turned to literature, and from his magic pen flowed such works as " The Scarlet Letter," " The House of Seven Gables," "The Blithedale Romance," "Mosses from an old Manse," "Fan- DESCENDANTS OF RICHAKD MANNING. 729 shaw," " Septimus Felton," " The Marble Faun," " Dr. Grim- shaw's Secret," "The Dolliver Romance," etc. If he had written only " The Scarlet Letter," the popularity of which re- mains undimmod to-day, he would deservedly have been famous, for, in its inimitable style, power and intense interest, it is a monument to his genius. His work gave him wide celebrity, and he became the companion and friend of Longfellow, Emer- son, Thoreau, and the others of that group of literary lights of that period. In 1841 he was associated with others in the well- known " Brook Farm " enterprise at West Roxbury. His res- idence was, at difl'ereut times, Salem, Lenox and Concord. His health failed, and he was on a journey with the hope that changed conditions would bring improvement, Avith his friend, Franklin Pierce, ex-President of the United States, as a com- panion, when he died suddenly at Plymouth, N.

ROBERT^ MANNING (Richard,^ John,-"' Thomas,^ Richard') b. 1784, July 19, ut Salem, Mass. In early manhood he opened a broker's office in Salem, and was also agent of the Salem and Boston Stage Company, established by his father. His con- nection with the large tracts of land in Maine has been mentioned in his father's sketch. At the age of twenty- four he assumed charge of his widowed sister's family, afterwards sending the son, Na- thaniel Hawthorne, to Bowdoin college, where the latter laid the foundation of his brilliant literary career. The last twenty-five years of Mr. Manning's life were devoted to pomological pursuits, in which he became the leading authority at that time in this coun- try. After his death lengthy sketches of his life appeared in news- papers and journals, and of these a necessarily brief abiidgment is here given. Before 1817 he began a collection of fruits, and a few j'ears after established his pomological garden. At that time the varieties of pears in cultivation here were limited, and of these some were beginning to show the blight and decay that soon ren- dered it necessary to discontinue their growth, and he saw that new kinds must be added or the cultivation of the pear be given up. The importation of fruits was something little known at that time, and in the long passages of the packet ships from Europe trees 730 THE MANNING FAMILY. were so liable to perish that few would hazard the risk and expense of bringing them to this country. Knowing these obstacles to suc- cess, Mr. Manning resolved upon making a collection at his garden of all the newly-raised and highly-esteemed fruits. It was his plan to make a specialty of pears, as tliey most needed attention, but his attention and its consummation included all desirable vari- eties of fruits. He endeavored to open a correspondence with the leading European cultivators, and more particularly with Mr. Knight, late president of the London Horticultural Society, Mr. Thompson, Dr. Van Mons, of Louvain, the Chevalier Parmentier, and others wlio were known as the possessors of fine new fruits, for the purpose of procuring scions and trees. After repeated disappointments, sufficient to discourage one of less perseverance, he succeeded, after years of effort, in forming a collection of very manv of the varieties it had so long been his Avish to obtain. Of these he leceived specimens from Messrs. Baumann, DeWall, Vil- morin, and others, in addition to what were obtained from the cul- tivators before named. As a whole, his collection was such as was long unequalled by any other in this country. Besides procuring all the best foreign fruits he spared no pains to add every native American variety which had the reputation of being worth culti- vation. With a liberality which had but little regard for his own pecuniary interests, JNIr. Manning by distributing scions among his friends, and disposing of them on accommodating terms to nurserymen and commercial gardeners, placed the choicest and newest fruits of Europe and America within reacli of almost every- one. He grew some trees from seeds, and raised several superior varieties of cherries, one of which bore his name, but he did not make a specialty of originating new fruits, nor the mere cultiva- tion of trees or their products ; that branch of horticulture he chiefly left to others, though he exhibited large and fine fruit, and was a regular attendant and liberal contributor to the exhibitions of the Mass. Horticultural Society. His principal object was to introduce new and valuable varieties into the United States ; to test the peculiar adaptation of such to our country ; to identify the different kinds, and to correct the nomenclature, which had been in great confusion. It was believed, said the New England Farmer, that Mr. Manning proved and tested a greater number of fruits than any other individual in this country or Europe. He was so familiar with the names and habits of the trees and the qualities DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 731 of fruits that he could identify at sight even the most rare kinds, and in this respect he was without a rival. When he began his work the various kinds of each fruit in cultivation here were few, but, with no especial facilities and limited pecuniary resources, and at the cost of patience, time and large financial outlay, he added to his collection until, at the time of his death, his garden con- tained nearly one thousand varieties of pears alone, and, of apples, peaches, cherries and plums a number in excess of five hundred more ; making a collection greater by far than was elsewhere to be found in this country, and equalled by but few in Europe. His efforts made fine fruit available to the general public, and the obitu- ries printed on his death unite in terming him a public benefactor and his decease an almost irreparable loss to horticulture. He was modest and unassuming in his manners, and of an unobtrusive and retiring disposition. He freel}' imparted to others information obtained by him with much time and labor, never attempting to appropriate to his sole advantage the benefits to be derived from an exclusive possession of his choice fruits. He was an extensive reader, a contributor through many years to horticultural journals, and one of the original members of the Massachusetts Horticultu- ral Society. His last illness was prolonged, and for a year severe, but was borne with patience, and his interest in his pomological garden endured to the last. The territory of tlie garden remains, having never been built upon, and is now in the possession of the older sou and his sisters, who occupy the old homestead built by Robert Manning just before his marriage. A few of the original fruit-trees are still standing. He m. 1824, Dec. 20, Rebecca Dodge Burnham, b. 1797, Apr. 21, of an old Ipswich family.

JOHNS MANNING (Jobn,^ Joseph,^ Thomas,^ Rioh- arcP) b. 1761, Oct. 19, at Ipswich, Mass. At the age of seven- teen, in the Revolutionary war, he served as surgeon's mate in the patriot armj^ in Rhode Island, and some of those wounded in battle were under his care. He had been assigned to Col. Words- worth's regiment from Connecticut, which had no surgeon there. When about twenty-one years of age he settled as a physician in Chester, N. H., where he early signalized himself by resuscitating a woman who had been laid out as dead, and was nearly cold. While in the latter town he was a partner of Dr. Page, but after four years he removed, in 1786, to Gloucester, Mass., where the remainder of his life was passed as a physician. He resided in the Harbor Parish until 1798, and afterwards at the head of Cape Ann. This part of Gloucester was set off in 1840 and established as the present town of Rockport. In his medical practice he was eminent for his skill and success. He was for many years also known as an enterprising merchant, and during the last thirty years of his life for his improvements in agriculture. He gave attention to ocean commerce, and in 1900 his surviving heirs received from the Government an award for the loss of the schooner Friendship, taken by the French in 1800, this being the settlement of a claim under the ''French spoliation" act. His grandson, William N. Manning, of Rockport, was administrator in this transaction, and received and paid the award to the heirs. Dr. Manning was a justice of the peace, and was also represen- tative to the General Court from Gloucester in 1809 and five subsequent years.

He was a physi- cian, and a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society. It is believed that he practiced for a short time in Marblehead, at the beginning of his career, but he soon located in Ipswich and re- mained a successful physician there to the time of his death. He was among the progressive members of his profession, and the first doctor who introduced inoculation for kine pox in his vicinity, his experiments being completely satisfactory. He was a justice of the peace, and, 1802, June 1, was commissioned surgeon of the 2d regt., 2d brigade and 2d division of the State militia. In ad- vancing the business interests of the town he was energetic. By will he left a large sum of money to found the Manning School, at Ipswich, and this, uuder the wise oversight of his nephew^, Richard H. Manning [263] and others, became an established and highly successful institution which has enjoyed an excellent repu- tation to the present time.

He was a farmer in his native town, but further than this nothing has been learned of his life. The town records of New Salem have been destroyed by fire, and the family record does not give the date of his death, but this occurred shortly before May 11, 1834, when the inventory of his estate was taken. This was appraised at $1,125.65. Jacob Haskell was appointed guardian of the two older sons, upon their choice, and the widow was guardian of the two younger sons.

JAC0B6 MANNING (Robert,-^ Robert,* Samuel,-"' Jacob,2 Richard!) b. 1767, Aug. 26, at Oxford, Mass. He resided for several years after reaching manhood in Charlton, where he was a farmer. In 1791 he made several purchases of land. Of these he bought, Jan. 27, upwards of 12 acres, with buildings, of his mother for £13. Aug. 30 he also bought of her 38 acres, and buildings, for £160. This purchase was the homestead, where his father's final years were passed. May 4 he acquired, by two pur- chases, 41 acres and some rods at atotal cost of £80.14. All thi.s land was in Charlton, and partly, perhaps wholly, bordering on the line between that town and Spencer. All of these parcels he sold, 1798, Apr. 10, to Luke Convers, and he removed to Spencer, where 47 (737) 738 THE MANNING FAMILY. he purchased a farm July 9 of the same year, of Abraham Lackej'. He made additional purchases there from David Hamraond and Levi Baldwin. He sold his entire holdings there 1814, June 15, and removed to Coventry, Chenango Co., N. Y. It seems that the rest of his life was passed there, for he and his wife d. there, but efforts to learn more of him from his descendants have failed, except that they say " he was in poor health for thirty years be- fore he died." Man}- descendants have been asked to estimate the date of his death, but this has not been done. The Surrogate's office has no record of his estate. He m. at Charlton, 1790, June 29, Abigail Morey. Persistent inquiry and research have failed to furnish any date or fact relating to her. One Ephraim Morey and his wife Abigail had children born in Leicester, near Spencer, between 1737 and 1757. He can hardly have been father of our Abigail. Was he her grandfather, or otherwise a relative? Ch. of Jacob and Abigail Manning : 282. Alpheus, b. 1793, Oct. 15, at Charlton. 283. D.VjS'roiiD, b. 1795, Apr. 6, at Charltou. 284. Clarissa. This name is from descendanls of one of her brothers. In her father's deed of 1814 one Clarissa Manning appears as a witness. Undoubtedly, this was our Clarissa. This would indicate that she was older than Alphens, for otherwise her signature would be that of a minor. Despite this, it is prob- able that she was the youngest of the three children. She m. John Hammond, perhaps a relative of the David Hammond of whom her fatlier bought land in 1801. After her marriage she lived for a time in Chautauqua Co., it is said, and then " went West." Report says she had seven sons, of whom Joseph studied for the ministry and is reputed to have preached in New Jersey, later. 194. NATHAN1EL6 MANNING (Robert,^ Robert,^ Sam- uel,3 Jacob,2 Richardi) b. 1769, Sep. 27, at Oxford, Mass. He early went to the State of New York, and, at the time of his mar- riage, was living at Rensselaer, Albany Co. About 1799, if the recollection of his descendants is correct, he went to Chenango Co. There he settled in Coventry, on what was then known as the Harper Tract, about two and one-half miles south of the present village of Coventry. He owned about two hundred acres of land, and was a well-to-do farmer. He held several town offices, of which one was that of justice of the peace. The last year of his life he resided with his son Lewis on what is now known as the DESCEXDANTS OF RICHAED MANNING. 739 Joslyn farm, wliere he died. He was buried in the Wylie ceme- tery.

Of his land a tract of twenty-five acres was given to him by the town for services rendered to said town, and it is believed he was in some way a land-agent.

He graduated at Bowdoiu College, after nhich he taught school at Germantown, Pa., and later had charge of a seminary in that State, at Hartsville. On account of ill health he next had an agency from the Sunday School Union, which took him to Ala- bama, where he again taught, residing at Tuscaloosa. After about three years he returned North and went on an agency through New York and some of the Western States. Later, he settled in Kingsport, East Tenn., where he taught children, studied medicine, began to practice, raised mulberry trees, married and had two children, and died in March, 1839. This is from a printed sketch of his life. Relatives in the East say " he was a minister in the South," which indicates that the sketch is not complete. The name of his wife has not been learned.

On f,'radMfttiug from the Salem High School iu 1884 he entered Harvard College and graduated there in the class of 1888, summa cum laude ; taught Latin for three years in a private school at Worcester; then continued his studies of the classics at Harvard and at the German universities of Bonn and Leipzig, receiving the degree of Ph.D. from Harvard in 1896; was tutor of Latin in Har- vard from 1896 to 1899, and, since the latter date, has been Assistant Professor of Latin and Greek at Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y. Unm., 1900. 234. JOSEPH BOLLES« MANNING (John,-'John,''Joseph,3 Thomas,- Richardi) b. 1787, Mch. 5, at Gloucester, Mass. lie graduated at Harvard College in 1808 and became a lawyer. Per- haps he first located in Ipswich, as a list of professional men in the State shows him to have been there in 1814, but he soon re- moved to that part of Gloucester which is now Rockport, and where, in addition to his practice, he was a justice of the peace. He also devoted considerable time to philological pursuit.s, and embodied the results in two published volumes, the first of which was entitled: " Epeography ; or Notations of ()rtlio«'py. To which is prefixed Lektography ; an Improvement in .Mpliabctical Writing for representing Sounds of Words, as described iu Letters- Patent of the United States." The second book bore the title: 744 THE MANNING FAMILY. " The Voice of Letters : Ancient Proprieties of Latin and Greek ; the Standard of English Letter-Customs, their Inherent System, and preferred Orthography." He made a collection of genealogical data relating to the families in which he was interested, including not only his direct line of the Manning family and certain connect- ing branches, but an in-gathering relating to the ancestry of those who had married into the Manning family, which, in the aggregate, was probably ten times greater than what he had of the Mannings. The names most considered Avere Giddings, Goodhue, Boardman, etc. Relating to these intermarrying families he had a collection which, for that time, with its limited facilities for such work, was large. The Manning family he did not attempt to follow beyond Essex Co., but he had probably one-quarter of the records of those who resided theie, sometimes in full, and sometimes in partial form. On his death his book of records descended to his nephew, Dr. Joseph Manning, and, later, to the son of the latter, Dr. Charles B. Manning. The present writer had long had knowledge of the above book, and when, a few months before the printing of the Manning genealogy, he found his own collection ready for the press, he borrowed Joseph B. Manning's collection for comparison. The result was very gratifying, as there was no conflict between the two, all of which speaks highly for the gentleman who made his gathering half a century ago, when genealogy was in its infancy. In the years succeeding Joseph B. Manning's death there have been several manuscript records of certain branches of the family in Essex Co., the compilation of which has been ascribed to vari- ous persons, but when they are compared with Esquire Manning's book one must conclude that all were drawn therefrom, directly or indirectly. Mr. Manning did not marry. He d. 1854, May 22, at Ipswich, while on a visit. 235. J0HN6 MANNING(John,"5 John,^ Joseph,^ Thomas,^ Richard') b. 1789, Oct. 12, at Gloucester, Mass. He graduated at Harvard College in 1810, and became a physician. In the au- tumn of the same year his father fitted him out with a horse and saddle, and "side saddle" filled with medicines, surgical instru- ments, etc., and told him to " shift for himself." He started for Waldoboro, Maine, with a letter of introduction to Paine Elwell, a former resident of Gloucester. He was some ten days on the journey, every day of which it rained. His success in obtaining DESCENDANTS OF RICIIAKD MANXINC. 14!) patients in competition wilh a Dr. Hrown, then of WaUlohoro, was not flattering in tlie first three or four years, and he ohtaineil ap- pointment as surgeon in 1815 on board the privateer '•Maniuiuth," sailing from Portland. He made but one voyage, and returned to Waldoboro, wliere he gradually secured standing ami the good will of the older physicians of that place and the surrounding towns, and was frequently called in consultation. He continued practice, and meanwhile acted as town clerk. In 1834 he was chosen Senator for Lincoln county, and, as the manual shows, was on four or five of the most important committees while a member of that body. In 1842 he removed his family to Kockport, Mass., where he practiced until his death, though less laboriously than lie- fore. There is still preserved among his descendants a daily recoid of his voyage in the " Mammoth," as surgeon, from the cockpit.

In 1822 he was emplo3'ed by Howard & Gordon, of No. 30 State street. In 1832 he succeeded to the business, in company with Robert Howard (son of Jonathan Howard, of Howard & Gordon). Mr. Manning remained in active business until his death. He was closely identified with many financial, charitable and public institu- tions, and at one time was a member of the Boston City Conncil. In manner he was ever courteous to all, and strictly consideiate of the comfort of others. In business circles his word was as yood as his bond, and, famed for his love of justice and his ability to look upon both sides of a question with fairness, he was often called upon to decide a misunderstanding in the matter of a trnde. He had a keen sense of humor, and a ready wit, and by nature he was kind-hearted, generous and hospitable, and always quick to excuse the shortcomings of his neighbor. He had the respect and con- fidence of all who knew him, and being easy to approach, he was in close touch with younger men, who often sought his counsel in business or personal affairs. To them his ears were always ready to listen, and his advice often ended in a favorite motto : '-Never be afraid to do what is right."

After the early death of his parents he was reared by his grand- parents until he was sent to Dummer Academy, in Bylield. I.eav- ing this school in 1825, at the age of sixteen he went to Boston 748 THE MANNING FAMILY. and began his business life. There he devoted his leisure hours to the reading of well-chosen books, and to various literary exer- cises and debates under the auspices of the Mercantile Library, of which he became a director. Attracted to people of literary tastes and liberal thought, he became one of a congenial group of young people, with several of whom his friendship lasted throughout life. In 1831 he went to Philadelphia, and after one year became a partner in the firm of Farnsworth & Manning ; but established himself in New York as a dry-goods merchant just before the great fire of 1835 and the financial crash of 1836. After taking a year of leisure in 1851 he entered the business and partnership in which he remained until his retirement in 1883. During this period his partner was William C. Squier, and the firm name Manning & Squier. The business was the mining of zinc, and manufactur- ing it into white oxides ; later, also, the production of spelter, and still later of speigeleisen. This partnership continued until within three years of Mr. Manning's death, a connection and a friendship which no cloud of personal misunderstanding ever dimmed. Mr. Manning was closely connected with the Unitarian church under Dr. Furness, in Philadelphia, and with the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn ; and, later, was an organizer and trustee of the Second Society in the latter city. An interest in the teachings of Fourier which dated from the years spent in Boston led him, with others, to induce the Rev. William H. Chan- ning to go to Brooklyn as minister to the First Unitarian Society there. Mr. Channing was profoundly interested in the principles of industrial association, and his enthusiastic exposition of them was the great attraction for the little coterie he drew about him- self. Nearly ten years later Mr. Manning and a few friends, with their families, made their residence in the summers of 1850 and 1851 at the North American Phalanx (the "Brook Farm" of the neighborhood of New York) , and he always believed that the fail- ure of these movements was owing more to accidental than intrin- sic causes, and that our industrial and social order would be much improved if the principles of industrial association were better un- derstood and more resolutely carried out. He identified himself with the anti-slavery movement from the beginning of the great debate, and during the war in which it culminated gave unweary- ing cooperation, with his wife and sister, for the alleviation of the sufferino- and sorrow of the time. He was a trustee of the fund left by his uncle. Dr. Thomas Manning, to found a High DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD MANNING. 74J) School in Ipswich. When, under his care, the original endow- ment had greatly increased, he immediately and suhbequenlly con- tributed to it largely from his own means ; l)ut more and better than money he gave to the school his constant oversight and help- ful counsel, and at the time of his death it was regarded as one of the model schools of New England. From 1840 until his death he was a citizen of Brooklyn, with full consciousness and performance of civic responsiliilities. In his hospitable home was a welcome not only for the fortunate and happy, but equally for the weary and suffering. IMargaret Fuller was for months a member of his household, and Madam Zulavsky found there a refuge in exile and a quiet place in which to die. Among his friends were Horace Greele}^ who, dying, made him an executor of his will, and I'rof. E. L. Youmans, whose noble passion for the scientific method Mr. Manning fully shared. He was interested in political econ- omy aud scientific investigation. By nature he was cautious :iud conservative in practical affairs. He had a genius for frieudsliip, and in his associations showed an old-fashioned courtesy and kind- ness that made and retained friends. One of those who knew him well said of him: " He was wisely economical lliat he might be nobly generous." Mr. Manning m.

He m. 1818, Oct. 9, p:inora Robinson, who d. 1836, June 15, and (2d) 1840, Nov. 25, Permilla Woodcock. The birthplaces of Dan- ford's children show his residence at various times, but further than this nothing can be said of him. Persistent inquiry has failed to bring information, as his older relatives who, it would be sup- posed, would know of him have not given desired facts. When DESCENDANTS OF RICHAHl) MAN.MNO. T',:, there was a failure to obtain the date of his deatli, thoy were asked to estimate the time when he died. None of them did so. With the notable exception of two of the younger descendants informa- tion has not been sent by them, and, generally, no replies have been received to letters. The compiler does not know wlu-thi-r Danford died in the East, or went to Wisconsin witli his children. The latter were as follows : 407. Solomon, b. 1819, Nov. 20, at Coventry, N. Y. 408. Susan, b. 1821, Oct. H, at Coventry; d. 1893, at Marengo, 111. Repeated inquiries have hrouiiht little inforniation relating to her. One collateral relative says she " had no children." A younger member of the family says shem. Miller, which cannot, however, be asserted here. 409. OziAS, b. 1824, Aug. 30, at Ellery, Chautauqua Co., N. Y. 410. Danfokd, b. 1825, Sep. IG, at Coventry (?). In the submitted record his birth was given as here shown, but his name was placed second in the list. Possibly there is an error. The widow of his brother George states that Daiiford m. PMorelia Woodcock, and that he d. in Crawford Co., Pa. Is thi.s cor- rect, or has he been confounded with his father? Note the father's second marriage, as reported by the family. 411. William, b. 1827, Nov. 24, at Ellery. 412. George, b. 1832, Jan. 28, at Ellery. 286.

MISCELLANEOUS FAMILIES. Note. — Besides the two Manning families of New England which have been continued by representatives to the present day, there were sev- eral settlers of the same surname who early located within the limits of the above district, and had children born to them, but whose descend- ants in the male line either became soon extinct, or are supposed to have done so. There are also on record certain marriages of persons who have not been connected with any family, and of whom nothing can be said additionally. The latter, in most cases, were probably persons who had come to this country unaccompanied by any relative of the Manning name. In the following pages the compiler gives all he has been able to learn of these above-described families and persons. I. FAMILIES AND UNCONNECTED MARRIAGES OF NEW ENGLAND. Section One— Gleanings Chiefly in Boston and Southward. L DENNIS MANNING was an early settler on Nantucket island, offthe coast of Mass. With the exception of one item, knowledge of the family is derived from Savage's Genealogical Dictionary (.see "additions' at the end of one of his volumes). I find no trace of any one in the male line after the third generation who is likely to have been a descendant, but have made no investigation " on Nantucket." The fact that several of the daughters married there is against the theory that the family re- turned to England; it may have become extinct in the male line, or the survivors may have removed to a distance. Mass. Archives [17-591] show a petition, 1739, May 30, of the selectmen of Sherborn, now Nantucket, and the paper relates that Dennis Manning gave to his son William a house and land on condition that the said son supported Dennis and wife during their lifetime, but father and son both having died, while Dennis' wife yet lived and had nothing to support her, the petitioners pray for permission to sell the house and land to procure funds for her mainte- nance. Granted. The paper also mentions that William left two " or- fans," and that their mother had married again. Here knowledge of the family ends. Dennis m. 1678, Catherine Innis. Ch., b.

GEORGE MANNING was a shoemaker and early rosidmt of Boston, being there as soon as 1653. " Savage," in his Genfal(>;,'ical Dic- tionary, twice gives his children, once under the name of Manning, and again under that of Mannings, his two lists being idi-ntical as to nani.-.s and dates, except that George " Mannings "is allowed a son Kll.>sha, b. 1659, Dec. 15, in place of Mary, b. 1659, Dec. 15. of George Mimning'.s family; a curious record. Otherwise, the lists are exactly alike. Despite the wayward spelling of that day the surname of this family, often given in town, church, probate and State records, hoKls fast to one form. .Man- ning; the one lapse being when the first child was i)orn, and tli.-ii the record says Munnings, but the church record of baptism, the ne.\t day, set tlie error right. Before and after, the name was given as .Manning. The suggestion has been advanced that George was a son of an old resident of Boston named George Munnings (see Munnings supplement here). This is possible, but very improbable. In support of the theory arc the facts that both Georges lived in Boston and were shoemakers, and that, when the older George died, the father-in-law of George the younger, James Everell, was one of the men appointed to inventory the estate; but Mr. Everell was a prominent man, liable to be called upon in any case. On the otlier hand, though the two Georges lived in Boston contcniporaneou.sjy, the younger was never styled "junior," though the word was in common use. Again, George Manning married in 165;!, from which we may Infer he was born about 1625-1632. George Mannings crossed the ocean in 1634. If lie had a sou of such tender years, where was the son? Not with the father on the ship " Elizabeth." In the lack of proof, bat witli tin* diflerent form of spelling the surnames, and the altsoncc of the w«>ixl "junior," the opinion is reasonable that the two men were not related. Of George Manning's life little is known except that his later yearn were vexed by the course of the Colony in compelling his eldest son to .serve long as a soldier.

Me left hid lioaso. land, etc., to his wife, with the request that what remainei! at her decease should be divided among his " five children, George, James. Jolin.

She had several ch. by her lirst marriage, and her dau. Hannah Blanchard m. Wakum [Rob- ert?], as George Manning's will shows. The widow Hannah afterwards lived with her father, and probably had a thrilling experience in 1679, when, at midnight, Aug. 8, a fire broke out " at one Gross's house, the sign of the three mariners, near the dockMn Boston," and continued until near noon the ensuing day, consuming 80 dwelling houses, 70 warehouses and several vessels and their lading, entailing a loss of about two hun- dred thousand pounds. The town of Boston allowed James Everell and " his daughter Manning " 140''i " towards rebuildinge of theire houses blowne vp, to stopp the fire." Suffolk County Deed 23-134, bearing date of 1706, June 10, is the sale by Hannah of a house and land, she having built said house since her husband's death on land purchased of her father, James Everell, and its location being on "the broad street leading from the tOAvn conduit towards the Mill bridge," etc. She had purchased the rights of inheritance of her daughter Elizabeth Brown (see below), by release dated 1705-6, Jan. 10, and the sale was in trust for her daughter Mary, wife of Thomas Hunt. It also included her household goods, but excepted her " shop goods and trading stock which I have already given to my grandson Abraham ffrancis." She was, perhaps, the Hannah Manning who, according to Boston records, died 1712, Apr. 14. A head- stone in King's Chapel Cemetery is that of a Hannah Manning who, un- less my figures are wrong, died 1721, Apr. 14. The two dates look like the same one with two figures reversed. Our Hannah's first child by Wm. Blanchard was])orn about 1047; baptized "9, 11 mo." Ch. of George and Hannah Manning : 12. George, b. 1655, Nov. 24; a soldier of King Philip's war, and un- der Capt. Samuel Mosely from 1G75-6, Jan. 25, and in garrison at Westfield Sep. 23 of that year ; was promoted to corporal. His parents were opposed to this service, and at least one cam- paign was the result of impressment. Three times the father petitioned for his release from service, the mother joining on the last occasion. The first petition was 1675, July 5 [Mass. Archives, 69-42] ; the next, 1676, Oct. 9, when the father states that the family suffers for want of the sou's aid at home [Ar- chives, 69-68], and, lastly, 1676, Nov. 27,when the parents jointly pray for the discharge of their son " who hath been a souldger so long, and once returned home only to be prest again after four days." He finally reached home, but died, evidently un- married, between 1678, Nov. 22, the date of his will, and 1679, Aug. 2, when it was proved. He left to his mother what his father had given him, the same to pass at her death to his brothers and sisters ; his brother James to have a double por- tion, " if hee carry it dutifuU to his mother." To James was also willed a musket, etc., and to his brother John a carbine and rapier. The testator also remembered his grandfather Everell, and his " cousin," Abiel Everell. 13.

The fact that he is seen no further in records, together with Ids mother's above-mentioned deed of 1706 (which seems to show that the mother's only children in 1706 were two ilaughlers), leads to the belief, doubtless reliable, that James and all his brothers were deceased; that they died unmarried or childless, and that with their death the family of George Manning, senior, became extinct in the male line. 17.

GEORGE MANNING, born about 1644 or 1645. according to his own statement, was a sea captain along the N'ew England coast. 1674- 83. In 1674 trading vessels sent out by Boston merchants won- much troubled by so-called Dutch " pirates," and in Dec. of that year several small craft were captured at the " eastward" by the Dutch and sundry English associates. (N. E. Jlist.-O'en. Iiri>. 172 3.) Of these, a " shallopp called Phillipp" belonged to John Frcake, of Boston. with George Manning as captain, and a crew composed of three persons, it seems, viz., James Debeck, "the Frenchman " and "the hoy;" the last two being of unknown identity. A manuscript letter of Capt. Man- 780 THE MANNING FAMILY. ning to " Mr. ffreak," now to be found in Mass. Archives [61-65], was dated 1674, Dec. 27, at St. John's River, Nova Scotia, where he was held prisoner. He liad met the " duch," Avho seized his peltries and vessel, and " shot me throw the hand, and cutt James on the writt arme." They would have set him adrift, but, after much persuasion, allowed him to remain on and sail his own vessel, but held it as a prize and compelled him to keep in their company. A rescue party under Capt. Mosely Avent by water, came up with the pirates and gave them battle. Capt. Manning turned upon his captors and aided in their defeat. Taken to Boston iu April, they were put on trial. Manning's testimony being " taken in open court," 1G75, June 17, when he gave his age as "30 years or thereabouts." (Archives, Gl, 117-20.) He explained that he had been sent on a trading voyage by " Mr. freke," and captured at "the eastward of Mount deZart by Capt. Petter Rodrigoe and Capt. John Rodes in their duch cutters,'' and circumstantially described the harsh treatment to which he and James Debeck had been subjected. The accused made a stout defense, based in part on the alleged fact that the colonial vessels inade a practice of trad- ing with the French, with whom the Dutch were then at war; but Ave of the prisoners were condemned to death as pirates. Considerable sym- pathy was awakened for them, and the sentences were finally reconsid- ered, some being pardoned and others banished. Capt. Manning reappears in a deposition taken 1683, Jan. 24, when he was still in command of a vessel. He then gave his age as 38 years [Essex Co. Deeds, 13-73], agree- ing closely with his previous statement of age. Of his origin and after history nothing has been learned. He may have been a relative, but was not a descendant, of the George Manning of the previous sketch. He seems not to have made any abiding imprint on land, and if he had chil- dren the fact does not appear. His home was in or near Boston, and he was married, for, in the letter to Mr. Freake, telling of his capture, he writes : "I desire you to acciuaint my wife of itt, and tell her I am thanks be to god in good helth." 22. GEORGE MANNING, OR MUNNINGS. The Middlesex Coun- ty records, at Cambridge, contain the marriage, 1680, Nov. 1, of "Mary Mixtnr" and George Mannings, while Bond calls him George Munnings, Jr., and Barry says Manning. Mary was a dau. of Isaac Mixer, of Watertown, and b. 1656, May 18. George is an imknown. He cannot have been George, son of George Manning, the shoemaker, for this son died a year before' the marriage. (See No. 12 here.) Whether he was the same as Capt. George [21] the compiler cannot undertake to say. Unless he was, no sign of him and Mary appears after their above mar- riage. 23. JOHN MANNING, a merchant, was in Boston as early as 1641, in which year he joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com- pany. He was appointed ensign in a few years, and, later, the Boston town records always call him "Captain," though the source of this title MISCELLANEOUS FAMILIES. 781 does not appear.

John Avas one generation the younger, ami, if of rndicnlly near relationship, would naturally be a sou of William, but this id«-a Is too improbable to be entertained. William p;ave his jiroperty by will to his wife, and at her death it was to pass to certain of his heirs; and the final disposition, as he plainly indicated, Avas "fovernod by tlie llnancinl circumstances of those he left behind hiui, it being his purpose to - tribute his money according to the needs of his descendants. Unless the Avriter greatly mistakes the condition of Capt. John's business in the later years of his life, his children had been left not only fatherless l»ut heirs only to a seriously embarrassed, probably wrecked estate, as will appear later. If AVilliam had been grandfather to these children lie would, in their financial dilliculties, have been far more lilagc.) 85.

Invesllgalion and specu- lation have alike failed to prove or indicate whom she marrle,! to ac.|ulre the surname of xMauniug. No one is known who, even hifcreutlally. may 790 THE MANNING FAMILY. have been the Mr. Manning of the case. Possibly slie was a second wife to some member of the Billerica family, but there is no evidence to that eflect. Section Two— Gleanings Chiefly in Essex Co., Mass., and Northward. iq'OTE — Erom a very early date there were families and, it would seem, unconnected individuals in Essex Co. who bore the name of Man- ning. As a rule they do not appear on records of births, marriages and deaths, and only vague signs can now be found of them. The earliest family of all may have become extinct. In the Eighteenth Century cer- tain persons of the name were in the county, but all efforts to ascertain their origin and after history have failed, and, on the whole, it would be hard to find a more complete and puzzling state of confusion than the unconnected Mannings of said county present. What follows is very un- satisfactory, and, in its lack of deflniteness, gives little indication of the time and labor vainly given to the clearing up of the mystery of the links that cannot be welded into a chain. 87. JOHN MANNING was at Ipswich in 1634, when, Jan. 26, he was granted 6 acres of land in equal shares with Thomas Ilowlett and others. He had a house in that town in 1635 [Hist. Col. Essex Institute, xix-223], and was probably the same John paid, in 1639, for helping Goodman Woodward in " ruiiing up Merrimack" [Records of Mass., i- 261], or surveying that district. No more has been found of him, nor is it known whether he had children or was married. 88. Moses Manning is mentioned in a letter written by John Man- ning to John Deverean, dated 1651, 1st month, Ipswich [Essex Co. Court Records], in which Moses is called his brother; and John, the letter writer, was doubtless John, No. 87, here. No more is known of Moses. 89. Thomas Manning was in Ipswich, 1636 ; commoner, or part owner of common lands, 1641; called a tailor in 1653; d. 1668, Dec. 19, aged 74 ; hence, born about 1594. Valuation of his estate, Jan. 6 after, was £38.8.2, no heirs being mentioned. Doubtless a near relative of John [87] ; perliaps a brother. John was old enough in 1635 to own a house; Thomas was then but 41, so they cannot have been father and son. What children he had is unknoAvn. Later, there was a generation in wiiich there were three brothers, Thomas, b. about 1645; John, birth unknown, and Daniel, b. about 1648. The father of these brothers was named Thomas, but whether he was the lirst Thomas (89) does not appear. There may have been an intermediate Thomas. The above Daniel, in a paper of 1704 (see his own sketch), refers to his father's " last will and testament." No such paper has been found. He also states that he (Dan- iel) was administrator of his brother Thomas' estate, and that the latter was executor of their father's will. Radically different deductions may be drawn from this. First, as the brother Thomas probably died in 1675, and the only other known Thomas Manning estate is that of the intestate MISCELLANEOUS FAMILIES. 791 of 16G9, before mentioned, it may ])e accepted as fact tliatlhe nrstTliomnfi was fatlier of the three brothers because there was low-ilridalile es- tate for brother Thomas to settle. Secondly, Daniel distinctly slates that his father left a will, and this su,s;gests that tiu-re was an Intermediate Thomas, and that, in the passage of time, the will has been lost from among the Probate Records. However, hnman memory is not iufalllblc, and in the lapse of 35 years Daniel may have forgotten that there was no will, or, more likely yet, the recorder of 170t may have made a slip and confused a will with an intestate estate. Two ccmlradictory facLs remalu to be mentioned. First, if the first Thomas was father of the three brothers he was, when his children were born, from 51 to fiC years old; a possibility rare in those days, but not improbable, especially as hr may have made a second marriage. Secondly, no use of the term •• senior" has been found at a date which would prove that he had a son Thoman prior to 1645, whereas, if he had, we should expect the word. ".Senior" was often, but not always, used in such instances. The compiler will not undertake to say whether there was an intermediate Thomas. 90. Thomas Manning, b. about 1645, mentioned above, was in Ipswich in 1669, when he and his brothers John and Daniel t|uarrcli'd with and assaulted one IMark Quilter [Ipswich Court KccordsJ, and in 1671, he testified that he was 26 years old.

The fact that he sought his second wife in that town may be taken, perhaps, an an indication that Ipswich was his own early home, but it is a faint and unreliable ray of evidence; yet, if we assume that he Avas of an es- tablished New England family, we can most reasonably assume that he was a descendant of the early Ipswich family, and probably of Daniel [92]. There is, however, no evidence to that eflect. He was in Glouces- ter as late as 1704 [Essex Co. Deed]. He soon died, and his widow m.

He m. at Glouces- ter, 1723, Apr. 1, Mary Boyles, doubtless dau. of Richard and Mary Boyles, who were of Beverly in 1741. William lived in Gloucester as late as 1737, but removed to Souhegau West [Amherst, N. H.] before 1741, and engaged as a carpenter and farmer. In that year, Nov, 20, Richard and Mary Boyles, above, sold to him a lot of land they OAvned in Amherst, Avhich Wra. was then occupying, and had "settled" for them in conformity with the provisions of the original grant (Middlesex Co. Deed, 42-497). In 1749 a committee was chosen to dispossess him of land belonging to Deacon Bowtle which he had inclosed (history of Amherst). The compiler finds no more of William. In 1753 his wife, then a widow and residing at Gloucester, bought 9 acres of land, with dwelling house and two shops in Marlboro, and in 1754 she went to the latter town accompanied by her dau. Hannah (Middlesex Co. Court of Sessions). No more has been found of the widow, nor is the disposal of lier homestead known. If it was sold by any person named Manning the deed was not recorded ; possibly she married a second time. Ch. of William and Mary, b. at Gloucester: I. Sarah, b. 1724, Dec. 3. II.

In 1756 they removed to Marlboro; in 17.i!) to Townsend; and in 17C1 to Middlctoii. In the same year Elizabeth returned to Marlboro with two children, but not accompanied by her husband. He may havi- been the WilliHUi In Audover, 17G7. (Courts of Sessions of .Middlesex and Ksse.x Counties.) When at Marlboro he was a Colonial soldier, 1750, in the expedition against Crown Point, under Capt. John Nixon, in Col. Timothy Rugglc.s' regt. In this year he served from Feb. 20 to Sep. 16 as a corporal, and from Sep. 17 to Dec. 3 as a "clerk" (unless there were two Williams of Marlboro, which does not seem likely; it will be noticed that one term immediately follows the other.) In 1757 he was again in service. Ilis history after 1761 cannot be given. It may be worthy of mention that there was a Wm. Manning and wife Martha at Norwich, Ct., 1766 and after (see No. 84 here). No connection is known to exist between the two, but the Andover item may not apply to Win. of Marlboro, and he may have lost his wife and married again, and have been the Win. at Norwich ; a possibility rendered the more likely by what is inferred con- cerning his son of the same name (see below). Ch. of Wm. and Kllza- beth: I. Elizabeth, b. 1751, Aug. 22, at Gloucester; living in 1756, but not mentioned as accompanying her parents to Townsend in 1759; per- haps then deceased. II. William, b. 1754, Aug.'ll. at Gloncester; living in 1761; history unknown. It is, however, worthy of lujticf that the U. S. Pension Rolls of Revolutionary soldiers, printed in 1834, mention a Wm. Manning, pensioner, aged 80 years, whose service had been In the Connecticut troop. The latter was living in Franklin Co., Ohio, In 1K34. It will be seen that his age, then, exactly corresponds with that to which Wm. (born 1754) would have attained if then living. The pensioner'!* exact residence Avas not given by him, nor do his pension papers give It. and all eflforts to trace his descendants have failed. In his iippllcation for a pension in 1820 he says that he enlisted In 1775 for sev.-n months in Col. John Durkee's regt. of Gen. Israel Putnam's brlgad.-, and. In 1777, enlisted for three years and served under Capt. Shumway and Cols. Prentice and Starr. Col. Durkee was of Norwich, Ct. William also re- sided in Franklin Co. in 1820. He then gave his age as 66, and 1.1s wlfr's as 70. Her name was not given. III. Mary, birth not found, but wn.i with her mother to Marlboro in 1761. MUNNINGS FAMILIKS. NOTR.-Persons bearing the above surname d..not properly bHonu in this volume, and would find no mention here were It not that thi- 798 THE MANMTNG FAMILY. names of Manning and Munnings have been so ■widely and extensively confused by historians and genealogists, not to mention town clerks of the Seventeenth Century. Mistakes made over 200 years ago have been repeated to the present day, and the name of Manning appears even in recent genealogies when Munnings should have been used. The present writer is not sanguine enough to think he can put an end to these errors, but it is worth trying; and, as he has made considerable study of the Munnings families (long since extinct, it would seem, in Massachusetts), a second reason exists for including the records in this place. 1 18. GEORGE MUNNINGS came from Ipswich, Co. Suffolk, Eng. , in the ship Elizabeth, 1634, aged 37, with wife Elizabeth, 41, and cli., Elizabeth, 12, and Abigail, 7; was a freeman 163.5, Mch. 4; resided in Watertown 1637 ; was an original propx'ietor of Sudbury, 1640, but re- moved to Boston as early as 1646. It does not seem that any mistMke need be made in the spelling of his name. Munnings is the form observed in the records of the General Conrt. He was frequently a witness to deeds drawn by one Wm. AspiuAvall, notary public, and there the form is the same. The latter should be authoritative. He can properly be given no other surname than Munnings. He was a soldier in the expedition to Block Island against the Narragansett Indians, sent to avenge the death of Capt. John Oldham, who was murdered by them, in the early stages of the Pequot war, and the records of the General Court, 1636, Sep. 2, say : " Geoi'ge Munnings is graunted 5' in regard to the losse of his eye in the voyage to Block Island." And, " the fines of this weeke are agreed to bee given to George Munnings, who lost an eye in the countryes service, & this to bee added to the 5' given before." He appears in a less lofty light in the next record of said General Court, 1637, June 6: " George Mun- nings was fined 20 sh'' for seling beare and keeping a house of intertaine- ment without license;" and, tiie next Nov., " Munings of Watertown is put downe from keeping an ordinary, or house of intortainement." Brighter days were in store for him, and, in 1646, "It is ordered, y* George Munings shalbe alovved 15' p @ for his service in y^ place of a keeper of y« countryes prison, to w'^'^ he is chosen ov'', & beside y^ ap- pointed fees belonging to y' place, & y' he is freed fro™ executing publike correction & execution." After some years he had fresh trouble. The prison did not always prove secure, and prisoners had a disagreeable way of taking unceremonious leave, for which the keeper was blamed. In 1654 one Benj. Saucer Avas incarcerated for blasphemy, but made his escape. AVhen so dangerous a person was allowed to get away the wrath of the General Conrt fell upon Munnings, and he was fined and discharged from his office. A new prison would probably have been more to the point than a new keeper. George d. 1658, Aug. 24. His wife Elizabeth was living in 1651 [deedj. Later he m. (2d) Johanna, widow of Simon Boyer.

EDMUND MUNNINGS came in 1635, in the ship Abigail, nnd settled at Dorchester, Mass. For 20.5 years spelling has been running riot as to his surname. He is often mentioned in tlie Dorchester records, and generally as Munnings, but occasionally as Moning-s, Monlnges, Man- nings, etc. ; while a tract of land to which his name was given wa.s. it is said, popularly known as " Manning's Moon." The sliippini,' clerk in Eng- land, in recording the departure of the family, dislingiiisjied himself by spelling the name in five difierent ways for the five persons named. Town clerks in the Colony recorded the name as both Munnings and .Manning, whence has resulted endless confusion in historical and genealo)iical vol- umes ever siuce. On the other hand, court records, deeds and estates in the Colony use the form, Munnings, and that is the spelling of Edmiind'8 will in England. Sift the evidence and it appears that irresponsil)le re- corders spelled the name in all sorts of ways, but that otllcial docnment.s held fast to what was unquestionably the correct orthography.

Thai the lamilies mentioned by these two correspondents were closely related is certain; whether they were one, and of the same generation (In which case allowance must be made for the brevity of human memory), is not certain, as the names do not exactly correspond. Descendants arc very numerous in Canada and Micliigan. The Charles Manning (list menti Duke of York, that the present volume will take Its ehaiiees of Ih|il has been made to connect Capt. John of New York, by InftTence, with Capt. John Manning of Boston [No. 2.1]. The known facts are decldeilly 804 THE MANNING FAMILY. against the theory and, indeed, seem to render it impossible. The writer who advances the theory [vide Appleton's Cyclopedia of Am. Biog- raphy] seems to base his suggestion upon a statement which may be quoted from his article on John of New York; as follows: " His em- ployment in New Yorli came through the recommendation of Samuel Mavericlc, who, in a letter of 16 Sept., 1663, to the Earl of Clarendon, lord high chancellor of England, commended Manning as one ' who hath many years been a commander under Maj-Gen. Morgan, who hath given him a large and ample certificate, which he will show you ... He is well known and beloved in New England.' " The present writer supposes this Samuel Maverick to be the same who had dwelt at Noddle's Island [East Boston], and, perhaps, the same of the name who was commissioner in New York; and his flrst-raentioned residence, together with the state- ment that Manning was " well known " in New England, might seem to bear out the inference, but all further facts are against it. According to Lamb's History of New York, Capt. John of the latter place "had formerly commanded a trading vessel between New Haven and New York " (from which we may well believe he was the Capt. John, mariner, of the previous sketch [see 131], in which case he had been navigating the coast waters during a period beginning as early as 1653). We have seen that he sailed to Virginia, as well as New York and Connecticut, and, in pur- suing his sea ventures, governed, it would seem, in his choice of ports solely by the advantageous circumstances of the hour, he would natu- rally include Boston as a port, and may thus have met Mr. Maverick, or the latter may have seen him in New Haven. Again, he is not mentioned as one " well known " in Boston, but " in New England." Other reasons exist for believing that John of New York and John of Boston were entirely different persons. First, the wife of John of New York died at sea in 1673, whereas, the wife of John of Boston continued to reside in Boston until her death at a date later than 1687. Secondly, John of New York died after 1685, and the wife of John of Boston had married (2d) Wil- liam Gerrish before 1676, Aug. 18. Thirdly, John of New York had "many years been a commander under Maj-Gen. Morgan." The most careful search has failed to discover any such high military officer in the Colonies at that period, and the only one known to history was in Eng- land, being Sir Thomas Morgan, who followed the calling of arms from at least 1645 to 1667, and was, during the final years of his service, Major-General of the English troops ; and lie it must have been, it seems, who was alluded to in Samuel Maverick's letter. John of Boston arrived In the Colony in 1640, and engaged as a merchant ; and was following that peaceful calling at a time, it would seem, when John of New York was serving in the English army as a " commander "under Gen. Morgan. John of Boston associated himself with the local militia and was styled "captain" in 1655, but had previously been plain Mr. Manning. More- over, John of New York'^, appears to have been a sea captain as early as 1653, and John of Boston was certainly a merchant later than that date; and, finally, to assume that the two were one would necessitate the as- IVnSCELLANEOUS FAMILIES, 805 sertion that John and Ann of Boston, husband and ^^\fc, had eadi taken a nevf matrimonial partner while the other Avas living'. 133.
