MANNING.
JACOB MANNING was of the fifth generation from William Manning, who came from England in 1630, and settled in Cambridge, Mass., as ap- pears by the records. William Manning, a grandson of William of Cam- bridge, removed to Billerica, Mass., in 1700. His children were William, Jacob, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, Martha, Hannah.
Jacob, second son of William of Billerica, married Martha Beard, and his children were Isaac, Thomas, David, Jacob, Daniel, Mary, Martha and Esther.
Jacob Manning, Jr., married Sarah Butterfield, and with his son Asa came to Lyndeborough and jointly purchased a farm of John Orne in Johnson's Corner for and in consideration of twenty-seven hundred dol- lars. They took possession of the property March 31, 1806. Jacob started for Lexington and Concord April 19, 1775, but on account of the distance arrived too late for the fight, but he was one of the number of immortal patriots at Bunker Hill, so the Mannings are of good Revolu- tionary stock. He was killed by being thrown from a load of hay July 16, 1808. His wife died Jan. 21, 1831. Children : -

MCINTIRE.
The McIntires of Lyndeborough are of Scotch-Irish origin, descend- ants of Phillip McIntire, who was born in Scotland in 1633, and came to North Reading, Mass., in 1650, probably with the Scotch prisoners of war banished by Cromwell. He was married Sept. 6, 1666, and had a son David, who married Martha Graves in 1712. Their son, David, Jr., mar- ried Margaret Buxton of Middleton, Mass., and was the father of Elias Sr., who married for his first wife Bethiah Hayward of Andover, Mass., and for his second wife a Miss Underwood, by whom he had eight chil- dren. Elias, Jr., only son of Elias Sr., and Bethiah (Hayward) McIntire, being very young when his mother died, was brought up in the family of Nathaniel Tay, an uncle by marriage. He was born Nov. 24, 1782; mar- ried Elizabeth Buxton of North Reading, Mass., April 3, 1806. She was born June 8, 1786, and died April 22, 1866. Her father, Stephen Buxton, of North Reading, Mass., marched to Concord and Lexington in John Bachellor's company, and he soon afterward enlisted in the same com- pany as private, and served three years and fourteen days in the Revolu- tionary army.
After marriage Mr. McIntire removed to Fitchburg, Mass., thence to Nelson, N. H., thence to Amherst, N. H., coming to Lyndeborough Jan. 1, 1820, where he bought the Kidder place, so called. This place is on what was then the main road from Nashua to Greenfield, Hancock and the upper towns. He opened a tavern, and as prohibitory laws were then unknown, he did a thriving business. The old sign which hung from a stout post in front of the house is still in existence, and bears the inscrip- tion, " Elias McIntire E. Pluribus Unum, 1820." It was a favorite stopping place for teamsters going and coming, but when the so-called Forest road was completed and the stage route changed, its patronage ceased, and Mr. McIntire soon gave up the business and devoted his time wholly to farm- ing. He was a man much respected in the community, of strong relig- ious convictions, and a devout member of the Congregational church, as was his wife. He died Aug. 3, 1879, at the advanced age of ninety-six years. Children : -
