Searching for William Manning S Family
I found this under a site called "Peabody, Ks families that arrived before 1920:
MANNING, Thomas b. 1820 and Mary HITT b. 1823. Arrived 1874 from Indiana. Farmer.
Children: William b. 1846 m. Margaret, Frank b. 1859, Emily b. 1862.
This sounds like William's family. But I looked these people on Rootsweb, and they don't have the same children.

Hi Kathleen,
This post is somewhat dated. Not sure if you found more information on this Thomas Manning family. I have lots of information regarding this/my family. Dates of birth, marriages, children, etc. Thomas had a son: William M Manning, born, Oct 19, 1857 in Columbia Township, Martin County, Indiana. He died on June 24, 1938 in Summit Township, Marion County, Kansas. Is this your William?
