    1. [NYDUTCH] Robert Manning and Mary Ferguson

    3. Hello, The subject of my research was not DUTCH, however the WILTSIE family of Westchester Co and Dutchess Co married into both the Ferguson and Manning families who are directly related to my research subjects. I would appreciate your consideration and help. I am researching Robert Manning who was born about 1646, perhaps born in CT, or more likely born in Great Britain. He was in Fairfield, CT prior to moving to Westchester Co, NY as one the first settlers of West Farms. You will recall the CT-NY land dispute on the border, which eventually was settled, and the CT landowners were able to finally settle in Westchester Co NY. On April 01, 1676 at NY he married Mary Ferguson, the daughter of John Ferguson of West Farms, Westchester Co NY. The last record in Westchester Co NY I have found for him is 1683. He was a wealthy landowner there. His neighbors were Gabriel Leggett (1635-1698), Thomas Hunt (1615-1694), and John Ferguson (1630-1681) (his father in law). In 1692 Mary Ferguson Manning remarried to Capt. Thomas Lawrence (1619-1703). I assume that Robert Manning died between 1683 and 1692. Robert Manning and Mary Ferguson had at least one child, a son named John Manning, who was raised in the household of his maternal Uncle John Ferguson, in Westchester Co NY, and John Manning witnessed a document in 1711 in Westchester Co NY. I am a descendant of John Manning, the son of Robert and Mary. However, I need help in finding additional information on this family. Because of the early date, the information is scarce, but I am sure there is more that I have not yet found. I would appreciate help and advice. Best regards, Lilly Martin
