Dear Mr. Manning,
Can you perhaps shed any light on this group of upstate New York Manning's ?
William Manning
.... born 1735/1755 at possibly Princeton, Schenectady Co. (then Curry'sbos, Albany Co.) or Kingston, Ulster Co. (then Esopus)
.... married 1755/1775
.... had two daughters, Lavinia/"Viney" and Lydia/Lidia sometime 1765/1775, who may have been twins
.... a farmer, he was enumerated at Watervliet (actually Lysjes'kil / Lishas Kill / Niskayuna) in the 1790 census listing himself and 3 free, white women - the next farm was that of Johannes Gonsaulus, a veteran of Schulyer's 3rd Regiment of Albany County Militia
.... Lavinia Manning married John Consaul (as he would be known later in life), son of the next door neighbor, before 1793
.... Lydia Manning married Manuel Gonsaulus, nephew of the next door neighbor, on 7 August 1794 at the Dutch Reformed Church in Schenectady
.... William Manning appears to be absent from the 1800 Albany County census
William Manning's brother or kinsman may have been an Edward Manning who was born in the 1740's, lived at Princeton, married in 1766 at the Dutch Reformed Church in Kingston to Deborah Vroom (daughter of Jacobus Vroom and Elisabet Schoonmack), and who died in 1778, leaving his widow and at least 6 children in the Schenectady area. Edward is noted as a veteran of Wempel's 2nd Regiment of Albany County Militia. But I am not sure, as most transcriptions of this regiment's roster that I have seen give the soldier as "Edward Mannen".
There is also another another Edward Manning - I take him (provisionally) to be the father of William and Edward - who is recorded as buying land at Curry'sbos in 1746, but of whom I know nothing else.
With my thanks, in advance, for your assistance,
- E. Consaul Polley
