    • According to the private journal of Elder Peleg Burroughs of Tiverton, a Minister of the Gospel, "on the 8th day of September A. D. 1780 -- Preached at B. Hambly's upon Psalm 107:31 (O that men would praise xc) married John Manchester to M.F. and stayed all night at Bro. Davenports."

      Benjamin Hambly's wife was Elizabeth Fish, probably related to Mary (needs more research).

  • Notes 
    • According to John's Revolutionary War Pension File, both he and Mary were born in Tiverton, and knew each other from their youth.

      I have roughly estimated his year of birth. At present it is unclear which family group this John Manchester belongs to. He may be a son of Isaac Manchester and Hannah Cundall, since the name Isaac is found several times in subsequent generations.

      Or, could he be a son of John & Lidia who were married 13 May 1749 at Tiverton?

      Glenn Russell's family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect lists 8 children for this couple, but I am including only 5 of them at this point. This family needs more research.
