    John was executor of his father's will.

    Tiverton Deed Book 1 has a deed dated 27 Jan 1754, naming John Manchester of Tiverton and his son Isaac of Tiverton. Does this pertain to this particular John Manchester? See elsewhere on this family tree, John Manchester born c1688.

    Notes:

    The book entitled "The Coggshalls in America" says John was "of Newport," but does not identify his parents, probably because this information is unknown. Was he related to the other John Coggeshall who signed the Portsmouth Compact in 1639? It seems likely.
