| Notes for Thomas MANNING | ||||||||||

His calling is unknown, except that, in 1752, April, he was associated with his brother William in the management of the ferry. The incomplete town records afford little chance to learn more of him, but he died before 1770, "when his widow lived in D. Newell's house," says Wyman's Charlestown. The same volume states that Thomas Manning, Jr., son of Thomas, died of small pox 1752, July 10. This death does not appear on the town records, but has been preserved by the diary kept by one Robert Calley, who then resided in Charlestown. Was it Thomas, the son, who died then? Or was it Thomas, the father? Mr. Calley recorded other deaths, etc., in the Manning family in succeeding years. In three cases he mentioned the death of Manning children, and always in one form: "Isaac Manning's child buried;" "William Manning's child buried;" "Mr. William Manning'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 not 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 small pox (see sketch of his brother William). As a ferryman he was especially exposed to the contagious disease. Did he succumb to it? Extensive 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 evidence can be given to settle the question.
