John Manning listed as Jo. Mannings, age 20, came to Virginia in 1635 on the Globe from London. Re: "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, First Edition," edited by P. William Filby with Mary K. Meyer, published by Gale Research Company. Re: "The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, 1600-1700," edited by John Camden Hotten, published by Genealogical Publishing Company. The passenger list for Globe is on page 119-120.

Documentation on John Manning, that settled Lower Norfolk County, VA in 1635, indicates that he married Lydia Richardson c. 1659/60. Ref: "Social Life of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century (p. 233) by Philip Alexander Bruce" and Lower Norfolk County Records, 1656-1666, pp. 90, 253. That is, in 1659 John Manning indicated his intentions to marry Lydia Richardson by posting a written notice on the courthouse door. Land records indicate that John Manning was deceased by 1672. Land records and three wills indicate that John Manning I, John Manning II, John Manning III, John Manning IV, Marcom Manning with his wife Kezia, John Manning V and John Manning VI with his wife Courtney owned land and lived near Julians Creek in now Chesapeake, Virginia from 1652 until about 1800.

In 1764 Marcom Manning and his wife Kezia Ballentine Manning sold their 140 acres of land on Julians Creek to his brother John Manning V. John Manning V and his son John Manning VI, with his wife Courtney, owned the land on Julian's Creek until 15 Feb 1796 when they sold it to Samuel Davis.

Marcom Manning had received the land from his father John Manning IV by will proved March 1758. Marcom and Kezia moved to Terrell County, NC. Marcom Manning's will dated 18 Oct 1792 and proved May 1793, Martin County, NC.
