A Revolutionary War Soldier. He marched on the Lexington Alarm of 19 Apr 1775 under Capt John Kingsley. Another term was rom 3 Mar 1778 to 1 Jan 1779 under Capt Wills Clift and Col Samuel Wyllys, in the 3rd CT Rgt, which, during this time, was with Washington's main army. This seems to be all the service that is to be found on the incomplete rolls, but fortunately, more is known of his war record. A grandson, whose information is of the best, states that he was in the Battles of Bunker Hill, Long Island, Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and Yorktown, and stood near General Lincoln when the latter received the sword of General O'Hara, the representative of Lord Cornwallis, after the last named battle. He was under General Israel Putnam at Bunker Hill, and, being with the CT troops at "the rail fence", saw the General gallop along the line on his horse under fire. He afterwards received a pension. In 1783, he went to Poultney, Vermont and hence forth resided in that town. The first land he bought, paying in part therefore a horse, saddle and bridle, he lost by reason of the former possessor having a defective title. During the war, his house and its contents had been burned. Now, for a second time, he lost his all. He purchased anew (on Town Hill) and, being a Cooper as well as a Farmer, the payments were to be made in barels, a certain number to be delivered annually for 4 years "on Poultney Green by the whipping-post". He began work on the land, which was a dense forest, and frequented by bears, wolves and panthers, and where he was occasionally visited by a friendly Indian. He built a log cabin of two rooms, one for a cooper shop and the other for his family. And, for a time, lived with his dog and his gun as his only companions. In 1784, he brought his family from Windham, by team, his wife walking the greater part of the way with her youngest child in her arms. At the new home, she spun and wove and made her own cloth, and, also, her own bed-covers. When the Baptists were trying to build a church at East Poultney, there was some difficulty in getting a suitable location. A former resident, then living "West, on what was once called the 'Holland Purchase'" owned the Poultney Green, where the church now stands. Mr Manning went to him on horseback, secured a deed of the desired site, returned home and, going to the town clerk's in the night, had the deed recorded before his absence was generally known. He gave time, money and lumber toward building the church. He was always called "Captain" - perhaps from Militia associations. He remained on his farm as long as he was able to do any work. Then resided with his daughter Esther. He married 2 March 1775, Lydia Peters. She was born 24 Dec 1755 at Coventry, CT. She died 23 Jan 1840. Dan Manning died 29 Dec 1836, both at Poultney.

Another account places his departure from Ridgeway at about 1852. Was married and had children, of whom one was named Frederick. Not further traced. 9) Charlotte, b 5 Sept 1795; d 30 Apr 1796 10) Fanny, b 21 Apr 1797; d 21 Nov 1808
