  • Notes 
    • At a legal meeting of the Wesport, MA, town council, [held May 12,1817 in the Town House], Ellery Manchester was appointed one of nine fence viewers for the town.

      In the 1850 Federal Census at Westport, MA, Ellery is 68 and his wife Lucy is 54. Their son Benjamin is 12. The family is next to Peleg & Abigail Manchester; Peleg is probably a cousin.

      In James Arnold's Vital Record of RI, Ellery's birth year is transcribed as 1799; however, in birth order it should be 1779.
