This website is for the families of Patrick and Mary Manning’s grand children, John, Henry, William, Eva and Genevieve Manning from Greenleaf Township, Meeker County, Minnesota. James H. Manning and Mary A. Duffy were married in Greenleaf township in 1897 and gave birth to John, Henry and William (Wm died as a young child in 1904). Mary also died in 1904 of the influenza epidemic in Meeker County. James H. remarried Emily Johnson about 1910 (we’re working on the details), and two sisters, Eva and Genevieve were added to the family.
