Searching for information on Lanson/Alanson Manning, father of Harvey Manning
b.1846 in Martin Co., Indiana. According to Harvey's death certificate,
his parents were LANSON MANNING and Elizabeth Clark. I do know that my
gggrandpa, Harvey Manning (b. 1846), was living in the household of Harvey
& Delilah Manning (grandparents ?) in the 1850 Columbia Twp., Martin Co.,
IN census however, his siblings were living in the household of Jeremiah
& Mary J. Manning
(Lanson's brother ?) in Halbert Twp., along with Eliza (Lanson's wife ?).
Evidently, Lanson Manning died between 1846 & 1850. Then, in the 1860 Mitcheltree
Twp., Martin Co., IN census, gggrandpa Harvey and his siblings were all
living in the household of Eli & Eliza A. Etchison (same Eliza from Jeremiah's
household in 1850 ?).
I've checked with Historical & Genealogical societies in Martin Co., IN
and it's their belief that Lanson/Alanson Manning was the son of Harvey
& Delilah Manning and brother to Jeremiah, Thomas and Leonard Manning.
Notes:
There are no Martin Co., IN census, land or probate records listing Lanson
or Alanson Manning. There is a marriage record for an Alanson Manning (misspelled
as Alancen Maning) to Jane Henry on 11-3-1836 in Martin Co., IN however,
no marriage record in Martin Co. for Alanson/Alanson Manning & Elizabeth
Clark. There's also a marriage record for Eli Etchison to Eliza A. Manning
on 10-12-1851 in Martin Co., IN.
Harvey Manning (husband of Delilah) was supposidly born in 1792, lived
in PA & KY and resided in Martin Co., Indiana from Jan. 1819 until his
death in 1855.
There IS a land record, dated Jan. 15, 1819 for Harvey Manning, in Martin
Co., IN and he appears in Martin Co., census records for 1820 thru 1850.
Jeremiah & Mary J.(a.k.a. Minerva Jane Walker) Manning evidently divorced
before 1855 because he married 3 more times between 1855 & 1868, all in
Martin Co., IN.
