| Notes for Joanna MANNING | ||||||||

In the census of 1789 appears a group of names, at Charlestown, recorded one above the other, but in words exactly as follows: "W. Homes Manning & wife. Jane. Joanna Manning." These four persons were unquestionably all living in the same house. The group looks like the members of one family, namely, the widow Jane, her son Wm. Homes and her daughter Joanna." The suggestion is preserved for the possible benefit of future investigators. No other Joanna Manning of that period is known. [ref 13:222] [my note: since the author, Mr. Manning, does not give a total count for the 1789 census, with a little different punctuation, it could be interpreted as " W. Homes Manning and wife, Jane or Joanna Manning"; or as "W. Homes Manning and wife and Jane or Joanna Manning." W. Holmes Manning is listed here as brother of Joanna] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||
