He had a long and prominent record as a Revolutionary soldier. On receipt of the news of the battle of Lexington six companies marched from Woodstock to Boston, and of these he was captain of the 2d Co. This service was short, but was followed by another term, 1775, May 1 to Dec. 19, as captain of the 7th Co., 3d Regt., of which Israel Putnam was colonel, urin g which he was in the battle of Bunker Hill. In 1776 he was a captain under Col. John Durkee. This regiment was in the battle of Trenton, and, in part, at Princeton. He "re-entered service in 1777," but how much longer he served does not appear. He was at one time in Washington's Guards, under Col. Benedict Arnold. In 1774 he was elected on the patriotic Committee of Inspection, and, 1780, was on a committee to engage men to serve in the Continental army. He was grand juror, 1778; town collector, 1787; and selectman, 3 years, 1782-4. He and his wife joined the Woodstock church in 1757. Barber's Historical Collections of Ct., page 565, states that the Trumbull Gallery, at New Haven, has a portrait of "Capt. Manning." (Could be Capt. Ephraim or his brother, Capt. William). On his death his ch. joined in a deed selling his real estate. He m. 1755, Mch. 28, Mary Fox, who d. 1805, Dec. 29, in her 71st year; another record says aged 72, but she was undoubtedly a dau. of Thomas and Mary (Lawrence) Fox, b. at Woodstock, 25 Apr., 173--. (The record is mutilated; but probably 1735, as she was bap. in that year, May 25.) Capt. Manning d. 1792, Jan. 17, at Woodstock, where he and his wife are buried in the "Hill" cemetery.
