John Manchester

Notes:

At the present time, research is ongoing to determine which John Manchester married Rhoda Manchester and thus is the father of these seven children whose births are recorded at Little Compton. One published genealogy has Rhoda's husband as the one b 28 Mar 1761, son of Peleg & Margaret. However, that John Manchester married Mary Brayton. There may have been two, three, or even more John Manchesters born around the same time, and this has confused researchers. At the present time, I am unsure of which John Manchester actually married Rhoda. (ongoing research, any leads appreciated)

It is very possible that Rhoda is a second wife for John Manchester b 7 Nov 1749, although it is unlikely that there would have been two sons named John, both living to adulthood. This needs more research.
