Do you think there would be any documentation or historical reference on which county in Ireland George Manton immigrated from? Do I consider that he came from Wexford Co. in Ireland? I wonder if George was buried in Erie, Pa. or brought back to Manton Twp.? Irish monuments are wonderful in general because many times a family will do the traditional thing and post on the stone the name of the deceased, birthplace, wife's maiden name, children and so forth. Since the name is so uncommon the location of Mantons Ireland are relocated to just a few areas, so I am hoping to pinpoint that location for George. If you come across the county where he is from I would enjoy hearing from you. Again, your message was very informative and thank you for all your time in presenting it to me.
