Excerpt from famousamericans.net:
Colonist, born in England about 1616; died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 14 March, 1692. He was descended from an ancient family who had their early origin in Germany and went over, in the 4th century, from Saxony to England. His father, of the same name, came to Massachusetts with his family and settled at Cambridge, where, in 1638, he purchased an estate, and became the founder of a large American posterity. He was one of the chief men of Cambridge, a merchant, largely engaged in navigation, and a member of the first church, as messenger of which he was sent to England in 1669 to invite the Reverend Urian Oakes to become its pastor. Mr. Manning was one of the select-men of Cambridge, and with Deacon John Cooper, by appointment of the Colonial government, directed the erection of Harvard hall, and collected and disbursed the moneys that were raised for its construction.
