M. MANNING (b.1849 AL), his wife SARAH E. (b 1851 TX) and their children. Sorry, right now I have no idea what the initials *J. M.* stand for. Only known child is ROLAND B. MANNING (son b. 1979 TX). Roland B. Manning and his new wife appear in the 1900 Smith County Census. Believe J. M. and his family are living in or around Tyler, Smith County, Texas during the 1900 census period. Any help in establishing the children of this family will be greatly appreciated.
