He was a soldier under Capt. John Wainwright in 1721, May 5 to Aug. 24, a period of 16 weeks, for which term he was paid �6. 8sh. The service was doubtless against hostile Indians, and probably in Maine. From 1759 he was called "Lieutenant" in the records, which indicates that he was prominent in the local military affairs of Cambridge, and had been elected to the above office. In private life he was a cordwainer. In 1746 he was appointed by the Middlesex Court of General Sessions of the Peace one of the members of a special committee, which was composed of five men from each town, "to inform against and prosecute the Violators of the Act entitled an Act to prevent the great Injury and Injustice arising to the Inhabitants of this Province by the frequent and very large Emission of Bills of publick Credit in the Government of Rhode-Island made in the twentieth year of his present majesty's Reign." He was public-spirited; his name several times appearing on petitions with others, to the selectmen asking for betterment of schools, highways, etc. He was elected highway surveyor, 1730; clerk of the market, 1732-5; constable, 1743, and "sworn in court;" and sealer of leather, 1749, '55-7, '59-76, or 22 years, and for 18 years continuously. His tax for the support of the church is entered on the books thereof for 1721, '22 and '23, and he was admitted to full communion 1719-20, Jan. 31, as was his wife 1823-4, Mch. 15. He gave �10.13.4 toward the erection of the new church in 1756, and subsequently occupied pew No. 40. He bought of John Bradish, 1724-5, Mch. 1, for �55, "a piece of land in Cambridge commonly called Towns Corner Bounded Easterly with the County Road measuring on Said line fifty five feet westerly on Said Bradish measuring fifty feet northerly on the market Place measuring ninety feet and southerly on said Bradish measuring ninety feet." This place was at the southeast corner of Winthrop and Brighton streets, and remained his home until his death. He made no additional purchase. He appears as a grantor when he sold his rights in his father's estate, and when he and his wife joined with her father's other heirs in disposing of rights in her said father's estate. Lieutenant Manning d. at Cambridge 1778, Sep. 17. He left no will. His son Samuel was one of the administrators of his estate. His "real & personal estate" was inventoried at �490.12.0, and the "mansion House and about half a quarter of an acre land with the buildings gs" at �212.0.0 "in silver money." All the real estate became the property of his son Samuel, except one-half of a pew, which went to William, Jr., to whom, also, Samuel paid �108.13. One of the administrator's charges was for "Wages due to Mary (now wife of the admr.) for her service to dec'd before her marriage." Lieut.
