- See notes for Jeremiah's parents Abner and Lydia.
The record for Jeremiah's marriage to Lydia Ann (Lake) Manchester identifies him as "son of Lydia."
The record for Jeremiah's marriage to Eliza (Pettey) Lake identifies him as "illegitimate son of Lydia Manchester."
His death record says he died at age 80 y 8 m 21 d and was son of Abner Wilcox and Lydia Manchester.
In the 1840 Federal Census, there are two Jeremiah Manchesters living at Tiverton. I believe this one has 1 male under 5, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, a female 5-10, and 1 female 30-40.
In the Federal Census of 1850, Jeremiah Manchester is age 42 RI (c1808) living in Tiverton, RI, and appears to be widowed, as no wife is in the home. With him are: Elizabeth 17, Susan 15, Harrington 12, and Mary J. 9.
Jeremiah appears to be in the 1860 Federal Census, still at Tiverton. His age is given as 50, which is about right for this Jeremiah. His wife's at this time is Eliza; her age is given as 48. Also in the household are: Meribah Lake 20, Thomas Lake 18, & Jerod Lake 16 (likely Eliza's children, see her in 1850 census). Next door on either side are two Sarah Lakes, one age 50 and the other age 68.
Jeremiah's wife here in 1860 is the Eliza Manchester who died 27 Mar 1895, age 81, d/o Elias Pettey (see RIDI and Tiverton Deaths; also the marriage record identifies her parents). There is marriage record at Westport, MA, for Elizabeth Pettey and Job Lake. A family tree online shows her first husband as Job Lake III (not sure who his parents are). Eliza appears to be in the 1850 census as Eliza Lake, age 35, with children William 18, Marybe 10, Thomas 9, and Jared 5; plus other Lake relatives.
In 1870, Jeremiah & Eliza, ages 50 RI & 54 MA, are still in Tiverton. With them is Jerome W. Lake age 9. Could this be Eliza's grandson? It seems that Jeremiah's age should say 60 here.
In 1880, Jeremiah & Eliza, ages 70 & 66, are still living at Tiverton. They are next to Abner Lake and family.
A Jeremiah Manchester age 74 is listed at Tiverton in the 1885 RI State Census. This would make his birth year c1811. If this is the same individual as Eliza's husband in the previous censuses, it must be Lydia Manchester and Abner Wilcox's son, as mentioned above.

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.
