The ancestors of the present MANNING members of the Manning families early founded in this country, were from England, where rep- resentatives 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 the kingdom as early as the year 1272. The predecessors of these early inhabi- tants went to England from what is now Ger- many. All Englishmen of the present time make this statement. The accounts differ slightly as to the particular continental prov- ince whence their ancestors came, but nine- tenths of these unite in saying that the family is of Saxon origin. In Hasted's "Kent" (County of Kent, England), published 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 (Mannheim), a town in Saxony, whence they came to England be- fore the Conquest." In the colonial wars the Mannings were represented by nineteen per- sons bearing their name; on the Rolls of the Revolution fifty-two appear; in the war of 1812, sixteen; in the war of the rebellion, eighty ; and in the Spanish war, six ;- an indis- putable evidence of the patriotism and fighting qualities of the family. In many other ways honors have come to the name through those who have been high in church and state, sci- ence and art, and the three learned profes- sions of law, medicine and divinity.

(I) William Manning, ancestor of this ex- tensive family, came to America about the year 1634 or before. Whence he came has not been learned, but as the Mannings had long been a numerous family in England, and as he came contemporaneously with the migra- tion of other emigrants from that country, it is certain that he was from a branch of that ancient family. After living a short time in Roxbury, Massachusetts, he went to Cam- bridge, where he may have been a merchant. He was the owner of a house and of other lots of land, but when he bought and sold is not known in full. William Manning was a freeman in 1640. His will is dated February 17, 1665, and proved April 28, 1666. He had removed to Boston as early as August 25, 1664, when he became connected with the church there, and perhaps earlier. The name of his first wife, whom he married in Eng- land, is not known. She was the mother of his children, and died on the voyage to Amer- ica. He married (second) Susannah

of whom we know no more than that she died in Cambridge, October 16, 1650. He married (third) perhaps at Boston, Elizabeth He had two children: William, born in Eng- land in 1614, and Hannah.

(II) William (2), son of William (1) Man- ning, was born about 1614, in England, came

to the colony of Massachusetts Bay in or be- fore 1634, settled in the latter year in Cam- bridge, and made that town his home the remainder of his life. He early purchased a homestead and other land, and engaged in business 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 a boathouse on a canal to which boats had free access. 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 a gauger ; constable 1652-66-68-75-79, and selectman 1652-66-70- 72-75-81-83, or a total of fifteen years. His name also frequently appears in connection with different public affairs. He often filled offices in connection with the settlement of estates. He was a freeman in 1643, and was as early as that date a member of the church. After the death of Rev. Mr. Mitchell, in 1668, Mr. Manning was selected by the church to go to England to prevail upon Rev. Urian Oakes to come to Cambridge and accept the vacant pastorate, and this mission he performed. The most important trust of his life was in con- nection with Harvard College, he having been selected, with Deacon John Cooper as an asso- ciate, to replace the old college building with a new one, and to receive and disburse the funds for this purpose. This was in 1672, and the final accounting was made in 1684. Each steward received £25 for his ten years' work. He was one of the inhabitants of Cam- bridge to whom the Shawshire (or Billerica) territory was granted in 1644, he being allotted sixty acres, and who joined in the "great deed" of 1650 conveying it to the Billerica settlers. He left at the time of his death an estate of £163 2s. 9d., free of all debts and expenses, and had during his lifetime distributed among his children £308 2s. 7d. He married Dorothy He and his wife were buried in the now old cemetery of Harvard Square, and the headstones to their graves remain in good condition. They record that William Man- ning died March 14, 1690, aged seventy-six, and Dorothy, his wife, died July 26, 1692, aged eighty. Their children were: Hannah, Samuel, Sarah, Abigail, John, Mary and per- haps Timothy.

(III) Samuel, eldest son and second child of William (2) and Dorothy Manning, was born July 21, 1644, at Cambridge. He was reared in his native town, and seems to have received a superior education. Between the

years 1664 and 1666 he removed to Billerica, where he afterward resided. His first home was at the northern part of the village, which was the same as the present "Center" village, but at a later period he removed to and occu- pied his farm west of the Concord river. The old homestead was erected in 1696; in times of Indian massacres it was one of the offi- cially appointed garrison houses, to which an allotted number of families could hasten in time of danger and defend themselves from attacks of the enemy. The house has been oc- cupied by his descendants for nearly two hun- dred years, and is now held by the Manning Association, which was incorporated by special act of the Massachusetts legislature in 1901. The old home contains a large and valuable collection of family mementoes, relics and rec- ords to which additions are constantly being made. Addresses, pictures, relics and interest- ing information concerning every member of the family, including the children, should be sent to the secretary at the Manse. Reunions of the family will be held annually on June 17 (Bunker Hill Day). Twice the Indians raided the town and killed some of his neigh- bors. Mr. Manning was corporal in the mili- tia 1682; sergeant 1684; ensign 1699. The town elected him to nearly all the offices within its power to bestow. He was surveyor of highways, 1668-76-77; sealer of weights and measures, 1675-1700; constable, 1677; trial juryman, 1679; assessor, 1694-98-1702; tith- ingman, 1679-82-95-97-1704-09, or twelve years; town clerk, 1686-90-92-99, or seven years; selectman, 1673-77-79-82-90-92-94-96- 99, eighteen years, and representative to the general court 1695-97. 'He was a surveyor, and at various times served on committees or alone to survey land and run lines, and performed many other trusts and duties of a public na- ture. He was made a freeman of the colony in 1670. The house he erected on his homestead west of the Concord river still stands. He was a large holder of real estate, for, on the death of his father, he had become owner of the latter's homestead and warehouse in Cam- bridge. The large farm he owned remained directly in the hands of his descendants, pass- ing from father to son several times, until 1880, and is still held subject to the testament- ary will of its latest Manning occupant. Sam- uel Manning married (first) April 13, 1664, Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac Stearns, born at Watertown, and died June 24, 1671, at Bil- lerica. He married (second) May 6, 1673, Abiel, daughter of John Wight, born at Med- field, January 1, 1654, who died some time

after July 3, 1713. Samuel Manning died at Billerica, February 22, 17II. The children by the first marriage were: Samuel and John ; and by the second_marriage: Timothy, Han- nah, William, Mary, Sarah, Dorothy, Isaac, Ephraim, Elizabeth, Timothy, Eliphalet, Abiel. (IV) Isaac, third son of Samuel and Abiel (Wight) Manning, was born in Billerica, April 15, 1685. He went to Cambridge before July, 1707, at which time he was twenty-two years old, and perhaps resided there until his death, but this is not certain. He was in Cam- bridge continuously from 1703 to 1723, and probably until 1742. The first sign of him is on July 27, 1707, when he is credited in the church book with the payment of six shillings, his minister's rate, or tax for the support of the church. Similar payments are entered each year, the rate ranging from seven shill- ings upward. Margaret, his wife, was ad- mitted to full communion January 9, 1728. Nothing is found to show that he was a church 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. Isaac was elected to town offices as follows : hog-reeve, 1713; fence viewer, 1714-18; high- way surveyor, 1721. At a meeting of the selectmen of the town, February 28, 1743, Isaac Manning was allowed six shillings old tenor for care of the poor. This is the last mention of his name in the records. His occupation is unknown. He married, April 8, 1708, Margaret Eager, born in Cambridge, May 25, 1681, daughter of William and Hes- ter (Cole) Eager. Their children were: Isaac, Margaret, William Thomas, (died young), Daniel, Sarah, Hannah and Thomas. (V) William (3), eldest son of Isaac and Margaret (Eager) Manning, was born in Cambridge, October 24, 1712. He early set- tled 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 Will- iam's time four boats were run, and the man- agement of them was granted by lease by the college, in four parts, one part to each lessee ; August 31, 1748, "one-fourth" of said ferry was leased to William Manning. The rent was £150 a year in "Bills of Credit of the old Tenor," in four payments of £37 IOS., payable on the first of November, February, May and August. Each lessee was to keep one strong boat in good order and have sober persons to run it. William renewed his lease in 1752,

and again October 1, 1754, for two years, and is believed to have continued with the ferry nearly as long as he lived. Mr. Manning was one of those whose property was burned after the battle of Bunker Hill. His loss included £266 13s. 4d. for two dwellings "belonging to me and wife," and £5 for personal estate, and £1 4s. for cartage. The last item is a silent but eloquent witness to the hasty flight of the family from the burning town, with such per- sonal effects as they could save. William Man- ning was drawn to serve as a petit juror in 1738. He bought April 19, 1755, for £40, one- half of a house and one-half part of the land by the same, on Wapping street, near the pres- ent navy yard. He died November 8, 1776, at Medford, aged sixty-four years. The town records call him "of Charlestown"; the church record, "late of Charlestown." Medford was probably his home after the fire. He left no will. Administration of his estate was granted to his widow and his son Caleb, December 9, 1777. The inventory was £159 4s. 6d., which was increased by cash received to a total of £179 6d. William Manning married (first) January I, 1736, Elizabeth Kettle, born at Charlestown, September 18, 1716, died 1759, and buried December 8. Her ancestry was : Benjamin and Mary (Dyer), her parents ; Deacon Joseph and Hannah (Frothingham), her grandparents; and Sergeant Richard and Esther Ward (Kettle), her great-grandpar- ents, all of Charlestown, where Richard, the immigrant, was a church member, 1633. He married (second) January 6, 1761, Mrs. Jo- anna Webber, born September 15, 1723, died at Medford, of pneumonia, August 27, 1787. Her maiden name was Whittemore, and Will- iam was her third husband. Her ancestry was: Joseph and Mehitable (Raymond), her parents; Joseph and Joanna (Mousal), her grandparents; John and Mary (Upham), her great-grandparents ; and Thomas and Hannah Whittemore, immigrants, her great-great- grandparents, all of Charlestown, where Thom- as settled about 1642. The children of Will- iam Manning by his first wife were: William, Elizabeth, Isaac, James, Daniel, Caleb, Mary, Sarah (died young), Sarah (died young), Thomas and Susanna. By the second wife : Joanna, Joseph and Sarah.

(VI) James, third son of William (3) and Elizabeth (Kettle) Manning, was born at Charlestown, March 21, 1743, and died there November 11, 1790. He resided in his native town. He was a colonial soldier under Cap- tain John Toplin, in the expedition "destined for Canada," his service being in 1759, from

April 2 to September; and again in 1761, under Captain Toplin and Colonel Frye. The first mentioned expedition "sailed from the Castle" (Fort Independence), April 24. Tra- dition says that in private life he was occu- pied 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 of the flames. The mother took Aaron, the youngest child, in her arms, and carried him on foot into the country, the older children running by her side. Mr. Manning carried on his back what valuables he could thus convey. The house in which he lived, with the greater part of its contents, was destroyed by fire. He set his loss of personal property at £20 8s. 2d. 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-mentioned battle was in progress, but which was saved. This desk became the prop- erty of Charles F. Manning, but was for thirty years in the care of Prentice C. Manning, a younger brother. When Charles F. settled permanently in Portland, the desk was re- stored to him. How soon James and family returned to Charlestown is not certain; they were there in 1784, and he remained and died there. He was probably in poor health from 1784 to 1790.

James Manning married, February 18, 1765, Ann Brown, who was baptized at Charles- town, March 21, 1743, daughter of Benjamin and Ann (Boylston) Brown, according to Wy- man's "Charlestown Genealogies." The mem- orandum of Franklin Manning, a grandson of James, and a careful and reliable recorder, states 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 Kins- man, of Hanover, New Hampshire." "Ann Manning" owned the covenant, September 22, 1765. The children of James and Ann, all born in Charlestown, were: James, Ann, Will- iam, Susanna and Aaron.

(VII) William (4), second son of James and Ann (Brown) Manning, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, March 25, 1770, and died in Parsonsfield, Maine, October 15, 1837. He was a tailor by trade, but also a considerable holder of real estate. He early settled in Maine, and according to statements given in deeds, lived in Brunswick, 1795-97 ; in Cornish, 1797-1800; in Limington, 1801-23, and perhaps after; and last of all in Parsons-

field, April 21, 1795, he bought one-quarter of an acre of land for £6. One-half of this purchase he, sold the same year, and the re- mainder in 1797. In the latter year he pur- chased land in Cornish for $340, and sold it in 1800 for $400. In Limington he bought land in 1801 for $743, and another lot in 1803 for $50. The first of these lots he disposed of in broken parcels from time to time, but that of 1803, which he acquired from one William Wentworth, he held until 1836, when he sold it to his son Franklin. It is described as three acres of land, and water power, and was "the same I occupied as a dwelling house & Mills

for many years." This reference to "mills" is explained by present old residents of Lim- ington. He lived four miles from the main village, and had a mill for grinding corn, re- mains of which are still visible. His farm is said to have contained eighty acres. He married (first). September 8, 1793, Margaret Swan, born June 1, 1772, died July 19, 1815. Her ancestry was: Joseph and Janet (Mc- Cloud), her parents, of West Cambridge, Mas- sachusetts ; Ebenezer and Bathsheba; Eben- ezer and Elizabeth; and John and Mary (Pratt) Swan, all of Cambridge, where John died June 5, 1708, aged eighty-seven. Will- iam Manning married (second), about 1822,

Mrs. Hannah Littlefield, of York, who died in 1824. No children were born of this mar- riage. The children of William and Margaret (Swan) Manning were: Janet, Nancy, Su- sanna, Joseph, Mary, William Holmes, Thom- as Jefferson, Franklin, Henry, Clarissa, and an infant son who died young.

(VIII) Franklin, fourth son of William (4) and Margaret (Swan) Manning, was born in Limington, January 12, 1808, and died at Norway, September 29, 1853. Early in life he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and was associated in the stove and hardware business in Portland with Nathan Winslow, and later with his brother-in-law, George H. Cheney, for several years prior to 1838, when he re- moved to Paris, Maine, and thence to Syra- cuse, New York, in 1841. He returned to Maine in 1847, and settled in Norway, where he took charge of a large mercantile business and iron foundry conducted under the name of Brown & Company. He was very active in affairs pertaining to the welfare of the town, particularly in educational, temperance and religious works, and, in whatever engaged, de- voted 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 Advertiser, in an obituary in January, 1854, said of him : "He was genial and social, and in his intercourse with the world was un- exceptionable. As a friend he was warm in his attachments, and confiding in his nature; in his deportment he was dignified, yet modest and unassuming, and in all his associations was influenced only by high and honorable motives." He was an incorporator and trustee of the Norway Liberal Institute, and worthy patriarch of the Sons of Temperance. After his death the family removed to Portland, January, 1854. He married, April 25, 1833, Sophia Cheney, born at Newport, New Hamp- shire, July 21, 1810, daughter of Colonel Will- iam and Tryphena (Hatch) Cheney, of New- port (see Cheney VII). She died in Port- land, May 26, 1884. Husband and wife were buried in the old cemetery near the center of the village of Norway. Their children were: Georgianna Sophia, Charles Franklin, Pren- tice Cheney, Ellen Olivia, William Cheney, Frederick Hall and Frank.

(IX) Charles Franklin, eldest son of Frank- · lin and Sophia (Cheney) Manning, was born in Portland, Maine, August 12, 1835, and early became a civil engineer. His first active work was as a surveyor on the Ontario, Sim-

coe & Lake Huron railroad in Canada, of which he was assistant engineer at the time of his father's death in 1853. Immediately fol- lowing that event he went to Portland, to which place his mother had returned with her family. Here he engaged in partnership with Charles D. Brown in the wholesale flour and produce business. In 1862 he removed with his family to Baltimore, Maryland, and was engaged as constructing engineer for the Hutchinson Brothers in the installation of water and gas works. Some years later he went to Norfolk, Virginia, where under the contract of Messrs. Allen & Hutchinson he built the first water works system in Norfolk in 1872-73. He also instituted a gas plant at the Hygia Hotel, Old Point Comfort. From Norfolk he went to Hagerstown, Maryland, and was for five years a member of the firm of Ames, Manning & Ames, who did a large business in the manufacture of fertilizers. Af- terward he became city treasurer and tax col- lector; a director (also treasurer and cor- responding secretary) in the Washington County Agricultural and Mechanical Associa- tion; and a director in the Orphans Home. He was a trustee and elder of the Presby- terian church, and for ten years superintend- ent of its Sunday school 1883-93. He was sup- erintendent and treasurer of the Hagerstown Light and Heat Company, and the Washington County Water Company. In 1894 he resigned these offices to return to Portland, retiring from active business. He died March 7, 1899. He was a member of the State Street Congre- gational Church. In politics he was a Republi- can. He was a member of Atlantic Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Portland, and past master of Friendship Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Hagerstown. A friend and business associate wrote of him: "We all agree about him, that he was dear to many a heart. His uniform courtesy and kindness made him a host of friends, and there was one expression here in regard to him, coming to me from all classes of those who had come in contact with him in social or business rela- tions-that he was an upright, courteous gen- tleman." The Hagerstown Globe, in an obitu- ary of him, said: "The news of his death was received in Hagerstown with manifesta- tions of deepest regret upon the part of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. During his residence in Hagerstown he made many warm friends. He was a polished gentleman, an excellent man of business, exact and prompt, and enjoyed an enviable reputation." He married, in Portland, September 20, 1858,
