1. Alt Birth: 1661.30 Note--according to the wills of Margaret & Richard Taylor and the listing of
their children. Margaret & Richard would have died at ages 18 & 24. I have 5 children by thoses
ages may not be unheard of, but I think unlikely. Needs further investigation.

and 21 May 1679 in Norfolk Co., Virginia 35 about age 40.
Noted events in his life were:
1. Alt Birth: 1655.30 *note--I question this birth date. As per Richard Taylor's will (1679)--he
names 4 children in his will, yet he would have died at age 24. In conjunction with his wife's
possible age of 18--it seems unlikely.

General Notes: Research for this generation and above should be regarded as very tentative.
Noted events in his life were:
1. He had a residence. In 1636, less than three decades after the settling of Jamestown, New Norfolk
was formed from Elizabeth City shires of the Colony of Virginia. In 1637, New Norfolk County was
divided into Lower Norfolk Country and Upper Norfolk Country. Lower Norfolk County
encompasses the area that is now the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach.
Lower Norfolk Country's first court was held on May 15, 1637, and was presided over by Captain
Adam Thoroughgood.
Chesapeake is the most direct descendent of Lower Norfolk County. The records housed in care of
the Chesapeake's Clerk of the Circuit Court are the oldest records held by any of the four cities that
were once Lower Norfolk County; they date back to 1637 and the first court held in the jurisdiction.

Mary Porter has photos of early Mannings.50
Noted events in his life were:
1. He had a residence. Mary Porter told me that the Manning "day farm" is now Academy
Park in Portsmouth, Virginia. It was owned by Pearson and White and bought by Hugh
Barkley; 240 acres. This was "Mannington." [It may be that the plantation was
Mannington.] Also that Manning graves were on Paradise Creek, past Cradock on Rt. 17.
2. He resided at "Mannington" in Portsmouth, Virginia.97 Note: This is an ad listed in
local newspaper for the rental of "Mannington". This gives a description of the property.
The referral of Mannington being good for the business of "trucking" has nothing to do
with vehicles, but instead means the business of trading goods & services in place of
cash.
For Rent---I wish to rent out on shares the ensuing year, to some one well acquainted
with the business of Trucking, the Farm called
"MANINGTON"
Situated about five miles from Portsmouth, on the road between that place and the
village of Deep Creek--This Farm is in very good order, well fenced and well drained.
Every acre in cultivation will be manured this year, which will enhance its value the
coming season.---The soil is well adapted to the purposes of trucking. I think as a
market farm it is equal to any in the surrounding country.
Julian's Creek is about a quarter of a mile from the Farm, on which there are several
landings at distances of not more than a half mile, where boats can take off marketing for
shipment.
The short distance to Portsmouth, and goodness of the road, render it very convenient
for daily market.
There is also attached to the Farm a very fine Orchard of Peaches and one of Apples.
The Mansion House will be reserved, but there is a very comfortable Dwelling in the
yard, which can be occupied by the Farmer.

Norfolk County Meeting
At a numerous meeting of the citizens of Norfolk County, opposed to the election of
Gen. Andrew Jackson to the Presidency of the United States, convened at the Court
House in Portsmouth, on Monday the 19th of Nov. 1827, the meeting being called to
order, the Rev. Jesse Nicholson, a soldier of the revolution, was appointed Chairman,
and John A. Chandler, Secretary.
The Chairman explained briefly the objects of the Assembly, and Holt Wilson, Esq.
offered for adoption the following resolutions:
Resolved, 1st: That we entirely concur in the preamble and resolutions adopted by
our fellow citizens at a meeting held on the 3rd inst. at Hickory Ground, in this county,
and that we will use all fair and honorable means to promote the object of the said
meeting;
Resolved, 2dly: That the Delegates appointed at the meeting to represent this
county in the proposed anti-Jackson Convention to be held in Richmond on the 2d
Tuesday in January next, be, and are hereby appointed Delegates in behalf of this
meeting to the said Convention:
Resolved, 3dly: That ____ be and they are hereby appointed Delegates on behalf of
this meeting to unite with the Delegates appointed at Hickory Ground to represent this
county in the anti-Jackson Convention to be held in Richmond on the 2d Tuesday in
January next:
Resolved, 4thly: That the gentlemen hereafter named, be added to the Corresponding
Committee, appointed at Hickory Ground, whose duty it shall be to act in conjunction
with the said Committee in securing the object of the said meeting.
The resolutions having been read, Gen. Robert B. Taylor, addressed the meeting in
an animated, impressive and convincing argument, in which he exhibited the antirepublican nature of the caucus nomination by the Legislature, and the necessity of
counteracting it by a ticket formed by Delegates elected for that purpose by the people
in their primary assemblies. He then took a view of the biography of General Jackson,
and while he extended to him the full need of praise and honor, for his glorious defense
of his country, he at the same time exposed in bold relief his disqualifications from high
civil office, as exhibited by his acts in almost every public station he has filled.
After General Taylor had concluded, the resolutions were again read and adopted
unanimously, and the following gentlemen appointed Delegates under the third
resolution: Col. William Wright, Thomas Talbot, Esq., and William B. Manning, Esq.,
and the following gentlemen appointed a committee under the fourth resolution:
John Thompson, Holt Wilson, Tapley Webb, George M. Bain, George Webb, Thos.
Edwards, David Reynolds, John Collins Sr., H. Pendleton, Wm. Benthall, Robert Peed,
James Reed, Beverly Bayton, John Talbot, Jesse Newcomb, Abel Llewelleng, George

and Secretary, and published in the newspapers of the Borough of Norfolk.
