Facts about this person:
His nickname was, "The Dutchman."
Andy was born in the Clear Creek area by Pineville, Kentucky. The 1900 Bell County, Kentucky Census says he was born in August of 1867. Fred L. Manning (Andy's son) said his Mother, Sallie (Burchfield) Manning, told him that Katherine Webb gave her son his Father's name, but that his Father left Kentucky soon after Andy was born.
In the 1870 Census, Andy and his Mother, Catherine (Katherine) are living with Catherine's parents, Irdell and Dicey (Lee) Webb. Andy is listed as 2 years old. In the 1880 Census, Andy is living with his Uncle Isom Webb. Andy is listed as 10 years old. Did Catherine die before 1880?
On Andrew's headstone in Red Hill Cemetery #2, the dates are: Born: August 15, 1872 Died: September 26, 1929.
--------------------------------------------------
In Ancestry.com, Andrew J. Manon (Andy's father) is listed under military records as being in the A 49th Kentucky Infantry as a Private. Almira's father, Bratcher Mason, was in the K 49 Kentucky Infantry.
-------------------------------
George Earl, John William and Ruth (Manning) Earl's son, said that Andy was briefly married to some woman before his marriage to Almira Mason. It only lasted a short time because she was involved with someone else. Andy divorced her. George didn't know her name. I asked Dad about this. He said that his Mother, Pearl Manning, told him the same thing. Andy was briefly married to a woman before his marriage to Almira Mason. She had a son who later became a lawyer. Pearl also didn't know who the woman was. Fred L. Manning said that his Dad, Andy Manning, paid for that son's education. Fred didn't know the name of the son.
----------------------------------
Andy moved from Bell County, Kentucky to Claiborne County, Tennessee around 1908 - 1910. Andrew had some disagreement with family members about some property in Bell County, Kentucky. These family members thought they had a right to the property Andy and his family were living on. Andy's daughter, Pearl, told her son, Ray Earle, that Andy got mad and very upset about the situation. One day, he just packed up his family and his property in wagons and moved to Claiborne County, Tennessee. He just let the other people have the property. Pearl remembered the move even though she was a little girl. The house Andy and Linda bought in Claiborne County, Tennessee had belonged to a family whose last name was Evans.
Andy still had some other land in Bell County. He raised cattle and pigs on the land. He let the cattle and pigs run loose on the land. On a regular basis, he would round up the cattle and pigs and sell them. Pearl told Dad about the cattle. George Earl mentioned the pigs.
Andy also owned some rental properties and stores that he rented out in Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky. His name was changed from Manon to Manning after he moved to Claiborne County, Tennessee.
------------------------------
In the 1930 Claiborne County Census, Andy is listed to have been born in Kentucky. He might have been born around the Big or Little Clear Creek area near Pineville, Kentucky. He had died before the 1930 Census, but his children have him listed as being born in Kentucky.
On Pearl Manning's marriage license to H. A. Sincroft, she says her Dad was born in Pineville, Bell County, Kentucky. Andy's son, Fred L. Manning, said his Mother, Sallie (Burchfield) Manning, told him Andrew was born around the Clear Creek area in Pineville, Kentucky. I have a copy of the marriage license for Harley Sincroft and Pearl.

From Joyce Collins:
1900 Bell County, Kentucky, Census Buckeye District
The Enumerator spelled Andy's name as Manam which is the wrong spelling.
Dwelling 53 ED17
Manam, Andrew, 32
..Alimira, wife, 29
..Ada, daughter, 10
..Dora, daughter, 7
..Ruthy, daughter, 5
..Sarah, daughter, 2
..Robert, son, 11 months
The 1900 Census says that Andy and Almira have been married for eleven years.
Marriage certificate:
October 27, 1895
MANON, Andy to MASON, Alimira Book 16 Page 572 in Bell County records. I have a copy of their marriage license.
--------------------------------
In the 1910 and 1920 Census, Amanda is listed instead of Sarah. Theywere born in the same year. They were probably the same person. Grandma called her sister "Mandy."
----------------------------------
In the Middlesboro Daily News, Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky, the November 01, 1921 issue, the Postmaster, Charles E. Cooke, listed Andy Manon in the section,"Advertised Mail " that was waiting for people at the Post Office.
------------------------------
Per Judy Madon Wood, her Mother, Juanita Treece Madon, said that her Grandfather, Andrew Manning, died in Evans Hospital in Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky. He had been sick and was taken to the hospital.
Per Fred L. Manning, Andy died of a heart attack while in the hospital (Evans Hospital). The hospital was torn down in the early 1960's. Andy had a will because Sallie got the home place and some of his property. What happened to all the rest of the properties and investments Andy had? Fred Manning said his Mother, Sallie, wasn't rich.
Andy died just before the Great Depression. Many people lost everything they owned. Maybe this is what happened with Andy's properties and money. Millions of lives were turned upside down. Per Ray Earle and George Earl, some of Andy's properties were distributed to family members.
----------------------------
Andy was a hard-working man. He had a reputation for being honest and reliable.
Andy and Sallie bought their farm from Hop Esler? Howard Earl helped Fred L. Manning install electricity in the house around 1948.
-----------------------------------------------
Andy's sister, Dicie, always referred to him as "A. J."
The Shumate Funeral Home in Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky was in charge of Andrew's funeral arrangements. The Shumate Funeral Home's records go back to 1960. Shumate Funeral Home: 2321 Cumberland Ave., Middlesboro, Kentucky 40965 Phone: 606-248-7884. They didn't haven't a record of Andy's funeral.
