| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Manning, s. of Samuel, bp. Jan. 17, 1696-7 Cambridge [ref 12] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOHN5 MANNING (Saml.,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.1) bap. 1696-7, Jan. 17, at Cambridge, Mass., where he lived until 1725. A part of the time he was a cordwainer, but he was also styled a "waterman," and when it is noted that the sale of the old family homestead by his father took place soon after the son's departure from town, it would seem to be a reasonable theory that he lived in the old dwelling-house, and followed his father's business, as the latter was a "waterman" when in Cambridge. His tax for the support of the church is entered upon the records thereof from 1718-1723, inclusive, the amount being from 7 to 8 shillings a year. He bought of his father, 1724, June 20, "a certain lot of land in the recent division of land in Cambridge," 2 1/4 acres, for �20, and sold the same Feb. 3 after for �47.17. He and his wife sold, 1725, Oct. 25, for �60, their rights in the estate of "our honored father Joseph Winship, deceased," to her brother Joseph. In 1725, between Feb. 3 and June 14, John Manning removed to Hopkinton. and, about two years later, to Windham, Ct. There he was a farmer in Scotland Society, acquiring land both by deed of gift from his father (1729-30, Jan. 2, seventy acres, lying next to his father's) and by purchase (1742, Oct. 6, ten acres for �30). The town records show that, 1728, Dec. 2, "Seth Palmer & John Manning prays the town to grant them Liberty to make a damm across mericke Brook In order to Raise a pond for the benefit of a sawmill to be erected thereon by them." This petition was granted, and indicates an extension of John's line of business. He was elected fence viewer, 1731, '47; sealer of leather, 1736, '38, '43-4; grand juror, 1736; constable and collector of the town rate, 1738, '42-4. At Cambridge he or his cousin of the same name was a soldier in Capt. Samuel Wheelwright's company, 1723, Oct. 23, to 1724, June 2, the service being against hostile Indians, and near York and Wells, in the Province of Maine. Nearly all of the company resided in Maine. At Windham, John was prominent in local military affairs. The State Colonial Records show that, 1741, in May, "This Assembly do establish and confirm Mr. John Manning to be Lieutenant of the second company or trainband in the town of Windham, and order that he be commissioned accordingly." Three years later he was similarly made captain. At Cambridge he was admitted to full communion with the church, 1716, May 13, and he united with the church at Windham in 1728, by letter, as did his wife in the same way, 1729. He was made clerk of the parish, 1732. He and his wife were members of the colony dismissed to form the new church at Scotland Society, 1735. He d. at Windham, 1760, May 5, and, together with his wife, is buried in the old cemetery on the east side of the Scotland-Norwich road, about 2/3 of a mile south of Scotland church. He left no will. In the distribution of his estate his widow had a share in the house and the barn, and the rest of said house and barn went to their son Joseph, with 13 acres and 38 rods of land. A large part of the farm passed to their son John, who purchased the shares of the other heirs. The house above mentioned appears to have been built by Capt. Manning on the land he acquired in 1730; it stood to the east of his father's, on the west side of Merrick's brook and west by south of the Scotland church. Capt. Manning m.
