He was a brother of Edmond Lewis, who came over in the ship Elizabeth in 1634 and settled in Watertown and removed to Lynn, Mass. He was from Lynn Regis, England. William came to this country again and settled in Roxbury, where he and his wife were attendants of the Rev. John Elliott's church in 1640. He was admitted freeman in 1642. He was a friend and asso- ciate of Gov. Bellingham. In May, 1653, he sold his house lot and re- moved to Lancaster, Mass. Here he carried on the business of weaving. Here he remained and endured the trials and hardships of a frontier life until 1671, when he secured land in the limits of Boston to build upon, but was prostrated by sickness and died Dec. 3, 1671. He left a widow and sons, John, Christopher and Isaac ; daughters, Lydia, Mary and Hannah. After his death the household was broken up by an attack of the Indians under John Monico, a one-eyed chief of the Nipmucks, who killed several of the family and burned their goods.
Jonathan Lewis, of the fourth generation from William, was born Dec. 6, 1708, in Dorchester, Mass., and married first, April 19, 1733, Hannah, daughter of John and Hannah (Fisher) Hunting of Dedham, by whom he had six children. He married second, Mrs. Abigail (Clapp) Everett of Walpole, by whom he had six children. In 1771, early in the spring, Moses and Aaron Lewis, sons of Jonathan, went to New Boston and bought a farm of John Dickey. This farm was alongside of the farm reserved by the grantors for Col. Blanchard, and adjoining the Haunted Pond, now occupied by Geo. Shattuck. That year they made a clearing and built a log house. Sept. 24, 1772, Aaron Lewis married Sarah White at Stoughtonham, now Sharon, Mass. Mrs. Hezekiah Duncklee was Mehitable White, a sister of Mrs. Aaron Lewis, also of Moses White of Lyndeborough, and also of Benjamin White of Frances- town. They were children of Benjamin and Mary White of Dedham,

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 : -
