Notes |
- [HCM, p. 918]: Jacob J. Manning is a man of forty-three years, and was born on the old homestead in Middlesex County. He received a common school education, and was wedded to Miss Rebecca A. McKnight, a daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Borland) McKnight, which union was blessed with the birth of a daughter - E. Addie. Mr. Manning has always been an industrious farmer. Neither he, his father, nor his grandfather was ever sued for any cause, being peaceable, law-abiding citizens. There are four generations now living on the old homestead, the fifthe generation being Harry L. Collard, son of Mr. M. Collard of North Dorchester. This instance forcibly illustrates the remarkable longevity of the staunch old pioneer family.
