Earl Menary		b. 1909 Cleveland, Ohio, Alexander/Wood Branch
Robert Manery		b.1841 Glasgow, Scotland, William/McGill Branch   The following is an extract from the "Commemorative Biographical Record of The County of Essex in ONT." Published by J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto 1905. Submitted by Ken Manery 2003: "William Manery was born in Tyrone County, Ireland: and there he past his youth and young manhood. He learned the trade of weaver, and then went to Scotland, were his ability won him employment in the weaving of the famous shawls for which the country is noted. In his new home he married Annie McGill, who bore him three children, William, James and Robert. She died shortly after the birth of the third child, and the father foreseeing wider opportunities for himself and his children in the new world, determined to come to America. Accompanied by his children and a maiden sister he left Scotland on a sailing vessel in 1841 and after several weeks on the water reached Quebec. Coming thence to ONT, he located near Hamilton, in the county of Haltom. Finding no opportunity in the little developed country for his trade, he abandoned it and engaged in lumbering, for many years owning and operating a sawmill: and he also engaged in farming. In 1870 he came to the county of Essex and located on a 200 acre tract in Mersea Townships, with his son James: and remained there several years: but spent his last years in , dying there in 1885. His remains are buried in Lakeview Cemetery. In his political views he was a staunch adherent to the Conservative principles, and while in the county of Halton, served as school trustee. Before coming to America he had been a member of the Church of England, but in CAN he joined the Methodists. His second wife was possibly a Miss Moffitt, and his third, Mary Jane Manery, who bore him one child."
