Generation: 3

  1. 9.  Phebe Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (2.William2, 1.Phebe1) was born 21 Jul 1743, Tiverton, RI.

  3. 11.  Godfrey Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (2.William2, 1.Phebe1) was born 19 Sep 1746, Tiverton, RI; died Abt Jan 1816.

    Notes:

    He is probably the Godfrey Manchester who, on 6 March 1805, "conveyed a lot of land to Philip Gray, 3rd, as clerk of the Amicable Society of Tiverton." A meeting house was built on that land, near Tiverton Four Corners, to replace the older one on Lake Rd. The newer building burned in 1845, and was soon rebuilt, and was remodeled over the years. This is the church building that stands on Main Rd. in Tiverton today. (ref: "The History of Amicable Congregational Church 1746 - 1946")

    On 10 Dec 1772 Godfrey Manchester of Tiverton bought land in Tiverton from John Manchester of Little Compton, grandson of John Manchester, deceased. As I see it, these two were brothers.

    Godfrey — Elizabeth Simmons. Elizabeth died 1834. [Group Sheet]

  4. 12.  Rhody Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (2.William2, 1.Phebe1) was born 11 May 1748; died Abt Aug 1825.

    Notes:

    I have made an assumption that she is the Rhoda Manchester who had a daughter named Nancy Manchester, recorded in the Tiverton VRs on 11 June 1764. The will below supports that, as her son-in-law John Manchester was first married to a Nancy, with their children's births recorded at Tiverton. Also, the executor was James Manchester, her nephew, who may have been the son of her brother Gilbert.

    In the 1820 Tiverton census Rhoda Manchester is living with just one male age 10-16. I am not sure that this is this particular Rhoda, but it is a reasonable assumption.

    Rhoda Manchester of Tiverton, gentlewoman, wrote her will 13 Aug 1823, proved 5 Sep 1825. In it she mentions her (stepson or son-in-law?) John Manchester and his wife Lucy; their five children: Gideon, Allen, John, Jr., Searel, & Nancy; 7 grandchildren -- Cornelius Cook Manchester (under 21); Thaddeus, Ellery, & Deborah Manchester; Sally Devole (w/o Joseph), Polly Devole (w/o Presbury), & Rhoda Gifford; also great-grandchild Nancy Devole dtr. of Sally; other individuals -- Andrew, Nancy, & Almy Gifford, children of Sylvester Gifford, Esq., of Little Compton: and Peace, wife of Cyrus Gray of NY. Her nephew James Manchester was appointed executor.

    I have a transcribed copy of the entire will.

    Children:
    1. 43. Nancy Manchester  Descendancy chart to this point was born 11 Jun 1764, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 27 Nov 1803, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI.
    2. 44. Cornelius Manchester  Descendancy chart to this point was born 25 Nov 1785, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI.

  5. 13.  John Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (2.William2, 1.Phebe1) was born 7 Nov 1749, Tiverton, RI; died Aft 1784.

    Notes:

    Tiverton has his date of birth as 1745, with no month and day, so that may have been an estimate many years after the fact.

    "The Manchester Family of Rhode Island" by Alden & Rita Manchester has this particular John Manchester marrying Sarah Bailey. "Little Compton Families" by Benjamin F. Wilbour agrees with this but also shows John as marrying second to Mary Brayton. However, this is incorrect.

    The Tiverton VRs list only four children born to this couple: George, Cornelius, William Cook, and Loring. In addition, Ruth, Sarah, & John are included by Alden & Rita Manchester in their Manchester genealogy. I have listed Ruth and John pending further research to confirm -- but please note that as yet I have not personally found the evidence for these two.

    In addition to the four children found in the Tiverton VRs, Benjamin F. Wilbour's book also lists Ruth, Betsey, and Benjamin, but no John. However, Benjamin is not their son because he belongs to John Manchester and Mary Brayton. Betsey's marriage record identifies her only as daughter of John of Little Compton -- but which John? I have included her in this family group (pending further research to confirm), as Wilbour's book says this John resided in LC.

    Another possible second wife for this John Manchester might be Rhoda Manchester. However, she also had a son named John, which makes it unlikely that she would have been the second wife if indeed there was a son John from the first marriage who lived to adulthood.

    Additional research is needed to resolve these issues. Please note that the family lines are subject to change for the various John Manchesters.

    Tiverton Deed Book has John Manchester (and wife Sarah) of Little Compton, grandson of John Manchester, deceased, sold land in Tiverton to Godfrey Manchester of Tiverton on 10 Dec 1772.

    John married Sarah Bailey 1 Mar 1772, Tiverton, RI. Sarah (daughter of Samuel Bailey and Sarah Church) was born 23 Sep 1749, Little Compton, RI; died 27 Mar 1784. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    The book "Little Compton Families" by B. F. Wilbour p. 410 says that this John Manchester married first Nancy, then Lucy. I have not been able to verify this with certainty, as there were several John Manchesters in Tiverton around this time. However, for the present I have attached Nancy and Lucy as his two wives.

    A query posted on the Manchester mailing list at rootsweb.com gives John & Lucy's marriage date as 18 March 1804, Tiverton, no source noted.

    It appears that this John Manchester may very well be our ancestor, based on the opinion of genealogist John Redfern (contact information available on request).

    See also the notes for son Jeremiah A. Manchester, and notes for the other John Manchesters on this tree.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Elery & Hannah Manchester are living at Westport, Bristol Co., MA. Their ages are given as 61 & 53 (?); the census image is rather faint. They have 8 children in the household: Borden 28, Calvin 22, David L. 20, Mary E. 16, Emeline & Matilda 15, Abby M. 14, & Samuel B. 12. According to the census data, all were born in MA except Borden, who was born in RI.

    In 1860 they are still at Westport; their ages are given as 70 & 63. Adult children in the household are Calvin, Emeline, & Matilda; also, Mary A. Sanford, age 5, is there. They are next door to Abraham & Lydia Manchester; Abraham is probably Ellery's brother.

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Ellery is age 79 and Hannah is 73. They are still at Westport., MA.

    I have made an assumption that the death record at Westport of Ellery Manchester in 1871 is for this individual, although I have not yet viewed the original record.

    Ellery married Hannah Manchester 9 Apr 1815, Tiverton, RI. Hannah (daughter of Gilbert Manchester and Mary Tompkins) was born 6 Apr 1797, MA; died 13 Oct 1881, Little Compton, RI; was buried , Adamsville Church Cemetery, Colebrook Rd., Little Compton, RI. [Group Sheet]

  28. 63.  Benjamin Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (20.John3, 7.Peleg2, 1.Phebe1) was born 17 Aug 1787, Tiverton, RI; died 10 Jan 1864, Fall River, MA.

    Notes:

    Benjamin's death record at Fall River, MA, identifies his parents as John & Mary (m n Brayton); it gives both his and their birthplace as Tiverton, RI. Benjamin died at 12:30 pm on 10 Jan 1864, aged 76 y 4 m 23 d.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin & Lucy A. Manchester, ages 60 & 56, are living at Tiverton, Newport Co., RI. Also in the household are the following individuals: Delana Dunlap 30 RI, Mary A. Manchester 23 MA, Lucy A. Manchester 17 RI, James Manchester 13 RI, Stephen Manchester 21 MA, Alexander Manchester 28 RI, Reuben Downing 30 MA, & Nancy Downing 27 RI. They are next door to the Hoyt family, and also to the family of Silas Manchester age 37; Silas may be a son of Benjamin & Lucy, as three of the individuals in that household appear to be living with Benjamin in 1860.

    In 1860 Benjamin is age 72, widowed and "infirm," living at Fall River, Bristol Co., MA. The census identifies his birthplace as Tiverton, RI. In the household with him are the following individuals, all surname Manchester: Delaney 40 (b Tiverton, RI), Mary 40 (b Tiverton, RI), Stephen 38 (b Fall River, MA), Mary A. 30 (b Fall River, MA), Eleanor 22 (b Tiverton, RI), Emeline 18 (b Tiverton, RI), Lucy 25 (b Fall River, MA), James 20 (b Fall River, MA), & Almira 13 (b Fall River, MA). Of these individuals, Mary, Emeline, & Almira were likely in the household of Silas Manchester in 1850.

    I am not absolutely sure how many of these individuals belong to Benjamin & Lucy, but based on the 1850 & 1860 census data, I have made an assumption that they probably had at least these six children, as listed in this family group. Alexander may also be theirs, also possibly Nancy. (This family needs more research.)

    As noted by genealogist John Redfern, Benjamin and his sister Meribah are mentioned in the 17 Feb 1812 will of Mary (Borden) Sherman of Tiverton.

    Benjamin married Lusannah "Lucy" A. Cook Abt 1811. Lusannah (daughter of Abner Cook and Elizabeth Francis) was born 7 Sep 1792, Tiverton, RI; died 28 Aug 1854. [Group Sheet]

    Children:

  29. 64.  Rachel B. Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (20.John3, 7.Peleg2, 1.Phebe1) was born Nov 1789, Tiverton, RI; died 21 Apr 1878.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Rachel Fish is living at Tiverton, RI. Her age is given as 57. In the household is Joseph Fish, 21, a miner; and George Borden, age 12, mentioned in the 1848 will of Rachel's husband as "George Washington Borden who now lives with me." They are living next to John & Judith Manchester and family; probably John is Rachel's brother. On the other side of Rachel is Peace (Bennett) Hambly and family (she is aunt our ancestor Mary Ann Hambly who married Ben Remington).

    Rachel B. Fish, wife of Robert, is mentioned as a sister in the will of Mary Ann Manchester.

    Rachel married Robert Fish 4 Feb 1825. Robert died Abt Jun 1848. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 178. Mary Fish  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1826, RI.
    2. 179. Joseph Fish  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1829, Tiverton, RI.

  30. 65.  Mary Ann Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (20.John3, 7.Peleg2, 1.Phebe1) was born Abt 1792; died Abt Jan 1838.

    Notes:

    The will of Mary Ann Manchester of Tiverton, spinster alias singlewoman, is dated 6 Nov 1837 and proved 5 Feb 1838. In it she mentions her sister Rachel B. Fish, w/o Robert Fish. Also mentioned, no relationship specified, is Philip Manchester, s/o David & Hope.

    I have roughly estimated Mary Ann's year of birth.


  31. 66.  John S. Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (20.John3, 7.Peleg2, 1.Phebe1) was born Sep 1795, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 7 Jul 1880, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; was buried , Pocasset Hill Cemetery, Tiverton, RI.

    Notes:

    According to the book "Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island" Vol II, p. 1662, John S. Manchester was a son of John Manchester b 28 Mar 1761 and Miss Brayton.

    Apparently his two youngest children as of 1840, Mary A. & John W., died the same month, March 1840.

    I believe he belongs in this family, because in the 1850 Federal Census, he and his family are living at Tiverton, RI, next door to Rachel Fish and family. Rachel is his sister.

    In 1850, John is 53 and Judith is 45. Also in the household are children Isaac 18, Elizabeth & Alice -- both 16, John 9, & Mary 5. Other individuals there are Alice Manchester 73 (I think this should read Alice Durfee, Judith's mother), George Durfee 20, & Catherine Grinnell 56. They are living next to Rachel Fish, age 57 RI (his sister, see above note), George Borden 12 MA, & Joseph Fish 21 RI.

    In 1860 the family is still at Tiverton: John 64, Judith 55, Isaac D. 28, Alice D. Campbell 22, John E. 19, & Mary J. 16.

    They are also living near Peace Hambly and family (Peace is aunt to our ancestor, Mary Ann [Hambly] Remington).

    John — Judith Durfee. Judith (daughter of William Durfee and Alice Unknown) was born 31 Jul 1804, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 22 Oct 1876; was buried , Pocasset Hill Cemetery, Tiverton, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I have roughly estimated Meribah's year of birth.

    As noted by genealogist John Redfern, Meribah and her brother Benjamin are mentioned in the 17 Feb 1812 will of Mary (Borden) Sherman of Tiverton.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Philip, 58, & Abby, 48, are living at Tiverton, RI. In the household are Edward 25, Cynthia 18, Almeda 16, & Holder W. 10, as well as Andrew Dennis 27, Almira Dennis 22, and Andrew F. Dennis -- 2 months. I am making an assumption that Almira is a daughter of Philip & Abby, and that Edward is their son. The Manchesters are living close by Holder & Betsey Dennis, daughter and son-in-law.

    Philip married Abigail "Abby" Hambly Abt 1819, RI. Abigail was born Abt 1801; died 15 Oct 1854; was buried , Old Lake Cemetery, Tiverton, RI. [Group Sheet]

    In the 1860 Census, Gideon is age 38, and living at Tiverton, RI, with his wife Susan and children Sophy 6, Otis 3, and Matteson 18 (possibly from a first marriage, or a nephew?). In 1880 the family is still at Tiverton, living next door to brother John B. Manchester. Another child, Harriet age 6, is in the household. She is either a daughter or another relative.

    Susan may be his second wife (needs more research).

    Gideon — Susan F. Unknown. Susan was born Abt 1839, RI. [Group Sheet]

  48. 83.  John B. Manchester Descendancy chart to this point (26.Bailey3, 7.Peleg2, 1.Phebe1) was born 1825, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 7 Jan 1891, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI.

    Notes:

    John may have had an earlier marriage, because the 1860 Census at Tiverton shows a daughter Hannah, age 12, living with the family (but see note below). In the 1880 Census, John B. Manchester is still living at Tiverton, RI, and with him in the household are children Bailey 26, Patience A. 20, and William Henry 16. They are next door to his brother Gideon and family.

    In 1850, John Manchester is age 25, living with his parents, Baily 76 & Hannah 65. Besides John, other individuals in the household are: Hannah Manchester 34, Madison Manchester 9, William Manchester 6, & Hannah Manchester 2. Who is Hannah -- possibly a daughter or daughter-in-law, and who are the children? The younger Hannah is probably the one living with John & Emeline in 1860.

    John married Emeline G. Manchester 6 Apr 1853, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI. Emeline (daughter of Jeremiah A. MANCHESTER and Mary H. DENNIS) was born Abt 1833, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 15 Jan 1867, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I think the Ellery Manchester who married Abby King is NOT the son of John & Nancy. However, I am still researching this family.

    This entry in the RI Cemetery Database has Ellery dying in 1841: MANCHESTER, Ellery 1802c - 1 May 1841 PV001. If this is accurate, he can not be the one who married Abby, because they are in the 1850 & 1860 censuses. The year of birth for Abby's husband seems to be c1807 or 1808, from the census data. If he is not the son of this couple, whose son is he? (This needs more research.)

    Ellery married Deborah B. Unknown Abt 1823. Deborah was born Abt 1803; died 19 Oct 1842; was buried , North Burial Ground, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

  74. 109.  Jeremiah A. MANCHESTER Descendancy chart to this point (33.John3, 8.Isaac2, 1.Phebe1) was born Abt 1805, Tiverton, RI; died Between 1843 and 1845.

    Notes:

    Please note that Jeremiah's parentage has not been proven. Although no birth record has yet been found for a Jeremiah in this family group, Jeremiah A. has been placed here based on the suggestion of professional genealogist John Redfern (contact information available on request). There is some evidence from the names of Jeremiah's children and grandchildren that he may belong to John & Lucy (Almy) Manchester. I have also speculated that he could be a son of John Manchester (1761) and Mary Brayton, or Perry Manchester (1765) and Anna Bennett.

    Therefore, this Manchester line has been determined to be a likely possibility based on research by me, Carla Phillips, and John Redfern. Research is ongoing; any leads are appreciated.

    However, Jeremiah is not mentioned as a grandchild in the will of Rhoda Manchester, dated 13 Aug 1823. She is mother of Nancy Manchester, first wife of John.

    Also, Jeremiah is not mentioned in the will of John Almy, Lucy's brother; John mentions only two of Lucy's children.

    Jeremiah A. may be the Jeremiah who was born 27 Dec 1804, son of John & Rhoda Manchester (not the above Rhoda). See notes below.

    Jeremiah's middle name may have been Almy or Allen. He had a son named Isaac Allen, and Isaac in turn had a son named Jeremiah Allen. I found Jeremiah's middle initial in son Isaac's VRs at Tiverton, as transcribed in Alden G. Beaman's "RI Vital Record, New Series, Vol. 13 p. 55, which in turn references TiD 1-24A and TiM 1-49. Note that Lucy Almy has Allen family ancestry; her paternal grandmother was Patience Allen, and two of Lucy's brothers were named Allen.

    In Emeline's marriage and death records at Tiverton, Jeremiah is called Jeremy Manchester.

    Jeremiah & Mary may have had another daughter, born before the 1830 census, as the census data lists a female under 5. In that census, there is 1 male under 5, 1 male 20-30, 1 female under 5, and 1 female 20-30.

    In the 1840 Federal Census, Jeremiah Manchester is living at Tiverton, RI. He and his wife are ages 30 - 40. There are 2 male children and 3 female children in the household. Heads of neighboring households include Benjamin Manchester (probably husband of Lucy A. Cook), Joseph Cook, Abraham Manchester (possibly Jeremiah's uncle), Abner D. Bennett, & Giles Manchester. There are two Jeremiah Manchesters living at Tiverton in this census; the other has 1 male under 5, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, a female 5-10, and 1 female 30-40.

    I have estimated Jeremiah's birth year. I have not yet been able to obtain proof of when John Manchester married Lucy Almy, but it is a reasonable assumption that he remarried shortly after the death of his first wife in November 1803.

    For the present time I am assuming that Jeremiah died before his wife's second marriage, but this has not been confirmed (see notes below and on this tree for other Jeremiah Manchesters). Again, researching the Manchester clan is an ongoing project.

    * * * * *

    Various individuals named Jeremiah Manchester about the same age who lived during this time period:

    Jeremiah Manchester b 22 March 1786 to Zebedee & Deborah (Briggs) Manchester, Little Compton. Little Compton has no further records on him.

    Jeremiah Manchester b c1798-1800 possibly RI (see 1870 census, Putnam, IA; see his sons Jabez & William in 1880), married Tryphena, lived at Providence, Saratoga, NY in 1860; had children Jabez, Myron, Josephine, Helen, possibly others. This Jeremiah is probably a son of Jabez Manchester born c1765 RI (see 1850 census at Providence, NY); Jabez is possibly a son of Archer.

    Jeremiah Manchester, b Dec 1804, s/o John & Rhoda. Is he the one at Glocester in the 1850 census, living as a single man, a cook? One family tree online speculates that he is our ancestor, the one who married Mary Dennis. However, no divorce record exists at the Judicial Archives, so he cannot be the same individual.

    Jeremiah A. Manchester (our ancestor) b c1804 if he is indeed s/o John & Lucy (or if parentage is unknown, could be b 1795-1808).

    Jeremiah Manchester, b 20 Dec 1810, s/o Abner Wilcox and Lydia Manchester (not a married couple); he married three times and is found in the town vital records and censuses; marriage and death record identify him as illegitimate son of AW & LM.

    Jeremiah D. Manchester, b c 1814, s/o John & Rebecca. He died 2 Oct 1881 at age 67 (RIDI). According to an online family tree, John Mancester and his wife Rebecca P. Taber went west. (Rebecca born 23 Mar 1782) They may have had another son Job.

    Jeremiah Manchester, b 11 Sep 1815, s/o John & Rebecca of Bristol. I believe he is Jerem Manchester, carpenter, single, at Providence in 1850, 1870, and at Bristol in 1880.

    Jeremiah married Mary H. DENNIS Abt 1825. Mary (daughter of John DENNIS and Robena "Roby" SOULE) was born 7 Jun 1805, Tiverton, RI; died 20 Apr 1866, Tiverton, RI. [Group Sheet]
