  • 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).
