| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WILLIAM HOMES7 MANNING (Isaac,6 Wm.,5 Isaac,4 Saml.,3 Wm.,2 Wm.1) b. 1769, July 31, at Charlestown, Mass. His name often appears on deeds and other public records of his day, and there it was more frequently written with the middle name spelled Holmes than Homes. The form here used is given on the authority of his grandson who bore exactly the same name, and who asserted positively that both he and his grandfather spelled the name without the "l." Moreover, the elder man appears in the census of 1789 as "W. Homes Manning." This point is enlarged upon because the name may yet have use in determining the maiden name of his mother. He was called, not by his first name, but by the second; hence, the form in the census record. The statement has been made that he was in the Revolution, which is rendered doubtful by his age and the absence of his name from all known rolls. Other descendants say he was in the war of 1812, but this cannot be affirmed. His portrait in uniform of some kind is in the possession of his grandson, Mr. A. K. Adams, together with that of his wife. A certificate now in the care of his great grandson, Rev. Wm. H. Manning, shows that, in 1800, he was commissioned by Gov. Strong as lieutenant of a Battalion. In private life he was a baker. He resided chiefly in his native town, but was in Boston, 1807-13, on Prince street. He purchased 1796, Jan. 21, land and buildings in Charlestown of Abigail Bradish, widow, for $1,333.33, fronting on Slaughter House Lane. He and his wife were members of the Charlestown church.
