(I) Cornelius Board, the immigrant ances- tor. came from Sussex, England, or Wales, with his wife Elizabeth, and two sons, James and David, in 1730. He settled first at Bloom- field, Essex county, New Jersey, and later at Boardville, Pompton township, Passaic county, New Jersey. He was a civil engineer and sur- veyor. He was to search for copper in north- ern New Jersey and southern New York for Alexander, Lord Stirling. He traveled up the Ramapo Valley and found a great quantity of iron on one of the head waters of the Ramapo creek. He named the place Stirling after Lord Stirling, and built a forge there between 1730 and 1736, where he made the first iron in that part of the country, and the works founded by him later made iron for cannon and balls used in the revolution, and also for the great chain stretched across the Hudson at West Point. At Perth Amboy, New Jersey, is a record dated August 17, 1732, showing that Cornelius Board bought one hundred and fifty acres of land "at the little falls of Pi- sack." In 1732 he bought one hundred and fifty-seven acres, half a mile along the Pas- saic river at Little Falls, evidently for an iron industry, and in 1737 he bought several tracts along the Wanaque and Ringwood rivers, also evidently for iron and water power. He and his sons owned about 1.500 acres in the Pompton valley. In his will, dated January 29, 1745, his son Joseph was made sole execti- tor, and he left property at Ringwood. Ber- gen county, New Jersey, to be divided among his three sons, also providing generously for his wife; after all debts were paid, the re- mainder was to be divided between his four daughters. He died in 1745, in Bergen county, New Jersey. Boardville is now Erskine, New

During the war of the revolution his house was the stopping place for officers ant soldiers of the Continen- tal army. His will was dated September 18. 1803, and proved December 13, 1803. In 1779 and 1784 he was commissioner to sell confis- cated property in Bergen county, New Jersey. On May 23, 1755, he signed an article includ- ing an "Abjuration of the Papacy." He died in 1803.

Soon after the revolution, before his marriage, he and his brother Cornelius moved to Ches- ter, then Goshen, Orange county, New York, where they purchased about 3,000 acres of land in Sugar Loaf Valley. There he mar- ried Nancy, daughter of Captain Phineas Heard by his first wife, Mary. Nancy Heard was born in 1772. James Board returned to Ringwood, where he died in October, 1801. His widow married (second), Isaac Kings- land, by whom she had six children, and she died at Boonton, New Jersey.

(IV) Major James J. Board, son of James (2) Board, was born at Ringwood, New Jer-
sey, March 30, 1802. His father died before his birth, and he lived with his uncle, Cor- nelius Board. When he was sixteen years of age he went to Washingtonville, Orange county, New York, to learn the tanning and currying business with Moses Ely, and there remained until he was of age. He then bought 140 acres of land near his uncle's home, where he lived until 1850, being a farmer and dealing much in cattle. For fit- teen years he supplied West Point with meat. In 1849 he was put in charge of the Yelver- ton estate at Chester, moving there in 1850 and engaging in mercantile business, freight- ing produce to New York until 1874, when he retired from active business. In 1842 he was on the building committee of the Chester Academy, and as long as the building was used as an academy he was on the board of trustees. He sold the ground for the Pres- byterian church at Chester from a part of the Yelverton estate. He was frequently adminis- trator and executor of estates, and had a high business reputation. He was a quiet man, not seeking any public offices, preferring the life of a business man. He married, in December, 1822, Huldah, daughter of Captain William and Susan (Tuthill) Hudson, of Blooming Grove. Orange county. New York. She was born July 25, 1801. He was a major in the militia.

Richard Manning, ancestor MANNING of the American family which settled at Salem and Ipswich, Massachusetts, was baptized in 1622, in St. Patrick's parish, Dartmouth. Devonshire, England. He resided and according to the family history, died there. His children with one exception came to Massachusetts. He married Anstice Calley. Seventeen years after her son Nicholas came to New England. the widow Anstice and five younger children joined him, coming in 1679 in the ship "Han- nah and Elizabeth" to Salem. Nicholas Man- ning was "undertaker" of the ship, meaning one who chartered the vessel. He had a law- suit with Dr. John Barton. the ship's doctor, in whose bill mention is made of treatment of the "broken shin" of Joseph Manning. of

whom nothing further is known. But Joseph was a family name, but it does not appear on the passenger list. The family resided at Salem for a time, and four of the children settled there. The record of death of the widow has not been found. Children, born at Dartmouth, England : Nicholas, mentioned below; Richard, June 22, 1646; Anstice, Jan- uary 8, 1650-51, married James Powling ; Margaret. October 9. 1657: Jacob, December 25, 1660; Thomas, February II, 1664-5: Sa- rah, August 28, 1667.
(II) Captain Nicholas Manning. son of Richard Manning, was born June 23, 1044. at Dartmouth, England. He was the first of the family to come to this country. He was a gunsmith by trade and he followed his trade all his active life. He was a prominent citi- zen. During King Philip's war he was cap- tain of a company in the service. He was selectman of Salem, justice of the peace, col- lector. judge of the inferior court in Maine. He was in Salem as early as October 3, 1662, when he witnessed a deed of trust: juror in 1666, and constable in 1674. In 1677 he was placed in command of an armed vessel to protect fishermen from the Indians. Soon afterward he went to New York. In 1684 he was at Sheepscot, Maine, now New Castle. then under government of New York. Ile was appointed captain of the militia there, and in 1686 was marshal of Falmouth, now Portland, Maine. He was justice of the peace, sub-collector, surveyor, and searcher of cus- toms and excise. Ile married ( second ) Mary; daughter of John Mason, of New Dartmouthi. Mr. Mason bought a large tract of land of the Indians, and he and Manning owned about 12,000 acres. Manning was appointed judge of the inferior court of Maine, July 11, 1688, then called County Cornwall, New York. When Governor Andros was deposed, Man- ning, as a king's officer, was imprisoned also. He was released under bonds, but apparently was never tried. He served in the Indian troubles in 1687 in Maine, but the town was burned and for thirty years abandoned. He was one of the signers of the treaty with the Indians, August 11, 1693. But he resided in Boston from 1691 to 1696, when he was a tavern keeper. About 1701 he removed to New York and lived on Staten Island. He sold several lots of land at Salem to his brother, Jacob Manning, June 30, 1709, and he was still living there December 4, 1719.
when with wife Mary he sold to his son John of Boston certain rights in New Dartmouth lands ( York deeds xii, 184; and xx, 163). In 1721 a letter was written by him to his son. When and where he died is not known. His first wife, Elizabeth, widow of Robert Gray, he married June 23, 1663. The author of the "Manning Genealogy" made a most thorough search for the children of Nicholas Manning, but found but one son who reached maturity-John, of whom he was certain. Whether John had children who perpetuated his name was not discovered either. A Thom- as Manning, of Moreland county, Pennsyl- vania, descendant of Nicholas, appears from his claiming lands of Mason at Sheepscot, mentioned above. In 1783 Nathaniel Fitz- Randolph wrote a letter from Princeton, New Jersey, offering for sale his title to the Sheep- scot lands of Manning. Children : Thomas, born May 2, 1664, died young ; Nicholas, born September 15, 1665, died June 16, 1667 : Mar- garet. born February 25, 1067, died young ; John, born May 28, 1668. Probably other sons.
(IV) Joseph Manning, of Minisink, Or- ange county, New York, a descendant of Nicholas Manning, probably a grandson, was born about 1740. The names of other families descended from Richard ( 1) are almost iden- tical with those of his children. The rec- ords in New York state are so fragmentary that it has not been possible to give the pre- ceding generations fully. It should be men- tioned also that Jeffrey Manning, who was at Piscataway, New Jersey, as early as 1676, was closely related to Nicholas Manning, as shown by deeds relating to the property in Maine. In 1700 there were three heads of family named Manning at Minisink. This Joseph Manning had four sons under six- teen and three females; his son Joseph had himself and wife, and John, another son, had two sons under sixteen and one female in his family. Joseph married Margaret

This form of spelling is
WHITMORE chiefly used in England and by many of the de- scendants in this country. Others employ the form Whittemore, and by some descendants the name is spelled Wetmore. It has been traced back in England to the twelfth century, as the result of research made by T. J. Whitte- more, chief engineer of the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Louis railroad. This labor em- ployed several years at considerable expense and infinite pains to secure accuracy. The name has been conspicuous in this country through public service and high private char- acter of many who bore and bear it.
