On Nataliesnet I am listed as a researcher (helped with 1/1000 of her work, if that much) I have recently acquired the location of Jesse and Leonora McManus during the 1850 Census with their first five children: John, Rebecca, Susannah, Ellen and James. They were in the 1850 U.S. Census Pennsylvania, Clarion County, Piney Township, Page 150. (Roll M432___767, if you have access to US Census microfilm) Those researching the line may discover other leads that have not been explored. Hopefully you will share with the rest of us.

The same researcher (with a new E-mail address for corresponding) that is mentioned on Nataliesnet. For the record the research I have provided amounts to about 1/1000 (if that much) of what Natalie has done. For those researchers in the John>Jesse/Leonora line I found enumerated 25 Sep 1850 in the U.S. Census, Pennsylvania, Clarion County, Piney Township, Page 150 (Roll M432__767, if you have access to microfiche) the following: Jessie McManis, age 28, laborer; Leonora, age 27; John, age 8, attending school; Rebecca, age 6, attending school; Susannah, age 5; Ellen, age 2; and James, age (less than a year). Again those of you researching this opens up another area of research. Good Luck and I hope you share the results.

I am trying to learn more of Charles McMannis (AKA: McManus, McMannus). I was working with his remains in a dig caused by a new library being built. Holding these daily for a semester I grew to be vitally interested in Charles and his family. After the trail where his remains were used in the prosecution he was buried and forgotten it seems. No record of any family looking for him or any notice by the military to his family seems to have been sent. He is buried with the other disinterred from 1999 when the library was begun. It is marked as people lost from history and they are buried together in North Star Cemetery in Saint Cloud. I would love to find his family so they may know of his location. And I would like to know more of him. His birth date (all I have is a year on his second enlistment. And his home town) I got his parents names from his civil war enlistment when he was either 15 or 16 years old. His father and four others named McMannis from his town had all enlisted the year before in the 98th NY.

Born: Malone, NY 1846 Residence: Malone, NY Father: Charles McMannis Mother: Betsy ________ Civil War Unit: 106th NY Co. I Pvt. Joined: Jul., 24th 1862 Work: Laborer Discharge: mustered out in June 18, 1865 near Washington DC. Enlisted in June 1868 at Fort Snelling, MN for second term… this one for three years in the 10th US Infantry his company being at Fort Wadsworth (later Fort Sisseton) in Dakota Territory. He was murdered on June 13, 1869 in Saint Cloud, MN while on the third day of a month’s leave, before going with his company to a new post in Texas.

Thanks very much, Barry

My great grandfather bought part of the land owned by R.O.W. McManus in 1872. I've been researching the land titles. If you want copies of Mcmanus's San Jacinto service records, go to the Texas State Library and refer to the Areas of General Interest. Go to the link "Claims Against The Republic" and type in R.O.W. McManus. You'll find several letters from him, stating that he was in "Deaf" Smith's Spy Company.

You have a really neat web page ... lots of info ... lots of McManuses. I'm at a stand still with my research. My Grandfather John Francis McManus was born in Streator, Ill. in 1893. His father Terrence McManus died in 1895 when John (married Ernstine Kelly) was 2 years old and John's sister Margaret (married Jack McCusker) was 4 years old and his baby sister Nell (married Arndorfer) was quite small. Terrence McManus was married to Brigid Higgins. Terrence died, Brigid who then lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin married a fellow named ___?____ Regan. They had 7 more children. Have no other information on our McManus heritage but would like to know more.

I am seeking information on James Alexander McManus, b.1859 Chesterfield County., SC. I believe our ancestors came via Pennsylvania. The above married Mary Rollings, b. Nov 1869, NC. They had 5 children: William Rustin, b.1895,SC; Delia, b.1898; Robert Houston, b.1905, Nezzie, and Rhetta. Both James and Mary are buried in White Plains Baptist Church, Jefferson, Chesterfield County, SC. Also, anecdotal history states that his 2 uncles (or 2 male siblings) left for Texas sometime after the Civil war. We do not know the names of James parents or siblings. Will gladly correspond to solve this mystery.

My name is Colin McManus, born in Belfast, Ireland in 1945, now living in California. I don't know the names of any relatives living in the US 200 years ago but I'm sure there were some. Our family branch seemed to be concentrated in the North-West of Ireland, in Sligo and Donegal, so they would most likely have come from there. I'm glad to see so many of our family had the foresight to invest their lives in the USA while it was still so young. Their stories are fascinating reading.

I am searching for any history of my great grandfather, Patrick McManus. He was from Chillicothe, Ohio. He was probably born between 1850 and 1870. He married Sarah Roberts, from Virginia. My grandfather was Thomas McManus from Alton, Illinois. Born about 1900. His brothers and sister included Jay, Oz, Floyd, Pearl, James, Frank and others.

My third great-grandfather, Andrew McMeins was born in MD in 1844. His father was John (info from bible). Andrew married Ann Wilson of MD. They sold their farm in Franklin Co. PA to Applegate in 1768, then they moved to KY. He & son James, were in the Rev War at Fort Jefferson, KY. Andrew died, and his son James died about 1835 in Jefferson County, MO. I think their name may have been spelled McManus at one point.
