amuel Manship's occupation is shown as a weaver in 1850. In later years, the census records indicated that he was involved
in hosiery manufacturing, and that his children Ellen, William and Samuel W. were also employed in the industry. The 1870
census notes the facts that Samuel had become a citizen of the United States and also that the family enjoyed a financially
comfortable lifestyle. His son, John, was in the highway department in 1880, at which time the family lived at 5009 Morton
Street, Germantown, Philadelphia. The records also show that they adopted a boy named William, who was born about 1870, of
Irish ancestry, and they may also have taken in a girl named Lillie Gallagher, who was born about 1876 and was of Scottish
ancestry.

 This picture is John Earle Manship, Born: April 16, 1847 and Died: February 22, 1913. He is the older brother of Samuel Manship (pictured above). The picture on the left is picture is part of a collection called "The Boys in Blue" which is owned by the Germantown Historical Society in Philadelphia, PA. The pictures in the collection are those of veterans of the American Civil War (1861-1865). I do not have a date on this picture, but I am guessing that it may have been taken around 1900. The enlistment paper which indicates John was 18 years old when he join the Army of the United States of America. Researched by: Linda Gittoes |
