We continue
to research records for proof of immigration into the
United States. Most recent research shows one John Manly
arrived 11 Jul 1678 as one of the First Settlers
of SC in Charles Town.
During the period of 1733 to 1793 many land records exist
for John Manly consisting of some 13 tracks totaling 8190
acres -- in 1733, a sale of 150 acres on Little River,
Cravens County, SC. It is our opinion that this property
was probably a Grant from the King of England to settle
population into the Carolinas.
We find the names John Manly and John Manly Jr in the
year 1787. Also the Will of one William Manley in 1799
was recorded [wife: Elizabeth children: Joseph,
Washington, Ephraim, Jeremiah, Vincent and Nancy] . We
assume that John Jr [who is mentioned as Generation 1]
and William, who died in 1799, are children of an older
John Manly. There may actually exist three generations
of John Manlys in this early US history [1678-1808]
of South Carolina. Land records mention the above Little
River, Ryans Branch of the Little River, and Rabourns
Creek all near Laurens County SC.
