Biography

Elizabeth Manning was born in 1669, the daughter of Jeffrey Manning and Hepzibah Andrews. She may have been born in New Jersey or Massachusetts, as the Mannings emigrated to Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey between 1668-1670. Elizabeth married Thomas Fitz Randolph, son of Edward Fitz Randolph Jr. and Elizabeth Blossom. They had, at least, the following children: Thomas, Elizabeth, David, Jonathan, Bathsheba, Dinah, and Luranah. Elizabeth died from smallpox March 1, 1731/32.

Note

Note: Elizabeth Manning Fitz Randolph died in a smallpox epidemic in 1732. Her daughter Elizabeth also died of smallpox, as did several nieces and nephews. They are buried together in St James Churchyard in Edison, New Jersey.

Birthplaces, etc, are listed above as "Piscatawaytown" which is the original name for the area currently occupied by the New Jersey towns of Piscataway, Edison, and parts of Perth Amboy. This can be confusing to the beginning researcher, as directions for graves, homes and so on are often given as "in Piscataway" but when the researcher attempts to find the actual site, he or she realizes that it is actually several miles away in Edison or closer to Perth Amboy.
