Old Manning Burial Ground - Franklin |
Email:

The Old Manning Burial Ground,
also known and the Manning Family Cemetery, is
located on the north side of Route 202 approximately one mile east of Franklin Centre.
The cemetery probably takes its name from the fact that the cemetery is located
on the lot where John Manning (1784-1847) settled when he first arrived after
living in Alburgh, Vermont and Montreal. Research by several different
historians has not been able to establish a common ancestry for this
Manning family and the
John Manning
family that settled approximately three miles to the west -- and for which
another cemetery is named..
While the persons buried in this cemetery settled on nearby lots, they are not
necessarily related. It is probable that a Manning family member was the first
to buried here and that the cemetery was gradually expanded to include members
of neighboring family. The
graveyard has suffered in the past from being overgrown with shrubs and trees.
The brush
was cleared in 1978 and the area generally maintained since then.
