To his son John ANDREWES the stock of 25 in the Virginia Company, and 10 yearly during his mother’s widowhood from the property in St. Clement’s parish. To his son William ANDREWES 50, when that sum is to be paid by his master’s bond. To his son Francis ANDREWES 100 at 21. All other goods to his wife, except 5 to John YAXLEY and Robert PRANCE, his friends and overseers of his will. A dead son’s or daughter’s share shall be divided equally among surviving sons or daughters. If his wife Easter remarries, within a month before her marriage she must give bond of 2000 marks for execution of the will; otherwise she is to lose her benefits under the will and be replaced as executor by his son William ANDREWES, who shall give the same bond. Signed 7 Sept. 1609. Witnesses John YAXLEY, Robert SPICER, Robert PRANCE. A codicil of 21 March 1610 notes that John ANDREWES, understanding that his son John ANDREWES has died in Virginia, acquits his wife of an annual payment of 10 to this son. The 50 put into the Virginia Company ( 25 in his own name and 25 in his son John’s name) is to go his son William.

Plea for Help from Jeri BeitelI am trying to find the children of Marcom Manning and Kezia Ballentine’s son William 1776.I have been searching for a particular Reuben Manning and have been having difficulty because of all of the Reuben Mannings born at the same time. None of the more known common ones fit my scenario. You can help me if you know this William’s children I would be really grateful. At least then I won’t be running down the same rabbit hole over and over. Jeri

6. Margaret Manning

note from Don Pace Manning:
Hi, Sally,
Based on a will, this person thinks Abena Wilkinson Whitfield could be the mother of William A. Manning.
"I found a record in Pitt County.  A will record for Benjamin Whitfield. 
It plainly states that Albena Whitfield is his mother.
She left him in NC and moved to TN with her second husband.
Either his father was also a Manning/Cherry or she left him with the Mannings when she moved. First husband was William Nelson.
Second husband was Obadiah Carson. Roderick Cherry, son of Samuel M. Cherry, took the three Whitfield children, including Albena,  away from Benjamin Whitfield because Benjamin was incompetent.
There was a big land court case and that's how I found the record.
It's very complicated.
The Bryans were involved and a Whitehurst--They go back to the marriage between William F. Bryan and Mary Manning, d/o Reuben Manning and Diana McCoy, Reuben being the s/o John A. Manning and Ann Deal.
Don Pace Manning.
ps  We now have this up on my Family Tree in Ancestry.com.  Since my YDNA is G-L140 (Cherry), the father has to be a Cherry.  William A. Manning was born May 11, 1827, in Martin County, we all thought.
My best guess for the father would be the s/o William Cherry and Delaney Smith.  This now appears to be the new mystery!
"It's possible Willis/Wallace Manning was W.A. Manning's father."
