Sir In answer to the claim set forth by the children of Dan d Manly dec d under act of June 7. 1832 you state under date of March 23. 1855 that "the service certified by Secretary of State of Massachusetts does not correspond with the service claimed alleged by the claimant". Will you please to send me a copy of that part of his declaration description of his services. In regard to the discrepancy between the declaration of the children & the proof in regard to a widow it can be satisfactorily explained. Manly & his wife as I understood it did not live together. her friends supported her & his friends here. She was a second wife. His children all resided in Ohio. He lived and died at Hous- field with a relation. The information I received from a Grand Child I inserted in the declaration & the children supposed it to be the truth of the matter. The facts are as stated by the witnesses. I trust that this will not prejudice the claim. further & more testimony will be procured which shall be satisfactory that there is no widow. Respectfully David Ely

To my knowledge he had two sons married that settled in New Hope Green County Tenn. at that same time I do not know date of birth he must have had real good age on him as his son James Wright was born 1723 He might have been born in England I don't know they were English I judge he died in East Tenn. Thanking you very much
Sincerely Mrs Floyd Kimble
Is there a Daniel Manley in your records at all who served, there were very few Manleys at that time I believe if there was a Daniel Manley at all he was my ancestor.
