  • Notes 
    • John Manchester was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and a Pensioner (Pension file #W20233).

      He testified on behalf of Thomas Remington's military service at the latter's pension hearing in 1832. Here is part of the transcript: "I myself enlisted in a Company of Artillery in the Rhode Island State service Commanded by Ebinezer Adams, then stationed at said Tiverton, some time in June in the year one thousand Seven-hundred and Seventy eight, and the aforesaid Thomas Remington at that time belonged to the same company and served in it to the time of my discharge, which was in the month of March following. I had a brother named Benjamin who enlisted in said Company in the month of March preceding the June in which I enlisted, and recollect that said Thomas Remington enlisted in said Company at the time my said Brother did."
