Note.—Mr. W. Manning was one of the venerable two thousand whose names were immortalized in the recollection of all true lovers of religious liberty on Bartholomew's day, 1662.
He was ejected from Middleton, in the county of Suffolk.

Descendants of this gentleman are still respected members of several of our churches.
