| Notes for Samuel MANNING | ||||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SAMUEL4 MANNING (Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.1) b. about 1665, probably at Cambridge, Mass., but possibly at Billerica, where he was reared. He took the oath of fidelity "8, 7m, 1681." In 1693 the town "Granted unto Samuel Manning Jun. liberty to set up a shop to work in and liberty to lay timber about & to set a Cart &c near to the passage over the River during the time of his keeping the ferry." This was probably the Concord river. He removed to Cambridge before 1695, when, under date of Mch. 8, the records of that town say, "Then was the Town's Stock of Powder and ammunition removed from Mr. Samll Andrews' house, and committed to the custody of Samll Maning, and the selectmen agree with said Samll Maning, for his care, to allow him annually six shillings in common pay." In 1698, Jan. 19, his father conveyed to him for �85, of which �15 was "onward of his portion" as an heir, the old homestead in Cambridge at the S. E. corner of Dunster and South streets; the house and one-quarter of an acre of land, with out-houses, fruit-trees, etc.; together with the warehouse, boathouse, wharfing and appurtenances, on the S. W. corner. After this, deeds term him "waterman," because of his calling. He was a witness to the will of Sam'l Andrews, 1698, and one of three men who took the inventory of his brother-in-law, Ebenezer King, 1710. His place of residence is not certain for the 8 years following 1714. In this year, after having long held office in Cambridge, he ceased to fill such offices and bought land in Windham, Ct., but it is not certain he was there until 1722, and he was in Cambridge, as a resident or visitor, 24 Apr., 1721. He sold a part of the old homestead 28 Sep., 1720, to Jonathan Remington, and the remainder, 24 Dec., 1725, to Andrew Boardman. The latter deed was not recorded until 1796. His Windham purchase of 4 Nov., 1714, was from William Merrick, and lay between Merrick's Brook and Beaver Brook. It contained 240 acres, and cost �62.10s., and was the first deed recorded in "Book E," at Windham. Occupying this farm as early as 1722, Mr. Manning there passed the rest of his life. The land was in the eastern part of the town, which was organized as the Third Parish in 1732, and, known as "Scotland Society" from the organization of the church there in 1735, was set off about 1860 and incorporated as the town of Scotland. It was in Scotland, as now constituted, that nearly all the Mannings of this line lived, and to which the consideration of descendants should turn, but as it was until lately Windham, the old name will be retained in this work. Samuel Manning often held town office. At Billerica, he was highway surveyor in 1693. At Cambridge, he was sealer of weights and measures 1701, '2, '4-14, a total of 13 years; highway surveyor, 1702; one of two inspectors of the "great bridge over Charles river," 1704, '5; constable, 1707; and clerk of the market, 1714. At Windham, tithingman and school committee, 1722; and selectman 4 years, 1723, '4 and '32, '3. A Billerica grant of 1710 calls him "Ensign Samuel Manning Jr., of Cambridge." It has not been found that he took part in actual service, so it is presumed that the title was of militia origin. At Cambridge, 10 Jan., 1697, he was admitted to full communion in the First Church, as was his wife 26 May after; and both united with the Congregational church in Windham before 1726, as did his second wife, by letter, in 1731, and the latter and he were members of the colony dismissed in 1735 to form the church at Scotland Society. At one time he was on a committee to engage and settle a minister, and, again, to oversee the erection of a meeting-house. That his opinions were held in respect is shown by the fact that, in a spirited discussion concerning the theological views of a certain pastor, Ensign Manning appears in an affidavit in which he set forth his knowledge of the case. He d. at Windham 1755, Feb. 20, aged about 90, though his gravestone says "in his 93d year." Exaggeration is common with gravestones, old and new. That of his first wife says she d. in her 63d year, whereas, if the record of her birth is correct, she was two years younger. Their graves are in the Palmer Burying Ground of Scotland Society. By his will, which was dated 1750, Mch. 2, Mr. Manning divided his land between the two oldest sons of his own son Samuel, deceased, as follows: To Josiah a special bequest of three quarters of an acre, and the northerly half of the rest of the farm, including the house, barn and orchard; and to Hezekiah the southerly half. The first of these grandsons was to pay his sister Abigail �70, and Hezekiah to pay to each of his younger brothers, Samuel and David, �140. Other bequests were to the testator's own children: To his son John 20 shillings gs, which, with what had previously been given him, was his full share of the estate; to his daughters Abigail Carter and Elizabeth Bingham, �45 each; and to the children of his deceased daughter, Mary Case, a like sum jointly. He m. Deborah Spalding and (2d) at Norwich, 1731, June 10, Sarah Gale, of Canterbury, perhaps widow of Richard Gale. She d. 1746, Oct. 11. There was no issue by this union.
