  1. 1.  William Henry Manchester was born 9 Apr 1826, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 17 Aug 1902, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, William H. & Maria Manchester are living at Tiverton, RI. They have two sons: George S., 6, and Charles F., 4.

    In 1880 the family is still at Tiverton. They have five children. In addition, another young man named Arthur Manchester, age 21, is with them (the relationship says son, but I don't think so unless the age is 2 instead of 21); also, a brother-in-law, Philip Basset, and his wife Sarah. They are living next to Holder Dennis and family.

    In 1900 the family is at Tiverton as follows: Wm H Manchester 73 RI, Margaret 56 MA, George S. 38 RI fisherman, Elsie J. 11 RI gr-dtr, John H. Taylor 38 MA nephew, and Bradford C. Rounds 48 RI fisherman, lodger (likely William's step-brother).

    The death record identifies his parents as Jeremiah Manchester and Mary Dennis.

    William married Margaret Maria Bassett Abt 1863. Margaret was born Mar 1844, MA or RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]
