Sarah Ann Manning's will and estate settlement is in Perry County Probate File 1279. Thomas Edward Riney, son of Sarah Ann, was the administrator of the estate. The final settlement was dated 8 November 1848.
The ones listed in her will: Mary (Riney) Layton, widow of Zachariah was Sarah Manning's daughter by Thomas Riney her first husband. Sarah (Hayden) Tucker was her daughter by Clement Hayden. Benedict Manning was grandson of Joseph Manning. William Leander Brewer was grandson of Joseph Manning.
Sarah (Shircliffe) Riney, Hayden, Manning was 24 years old when her first husband Thomas Riney died in MD, leaving her with three children. She must have married Clement Hayden shortly after Riney died and they were married 22 years before his death in 1811. They had nine children that I have a record of. At the age of 46 she had lost two husbands and had twelve children. At the age of 69 she married Joseph Manning. They were married 9 years. She died the next year.
