James Clark and Elizabeth B. ([Hall) Manning, the former of whom was born in Georgia and the latter in Virginia had a family of twelve children. In their youth they were taken by their parents to Alabama, and in Dallas County they grew up, received their education and were married. For several years after the celebration of their nuptials they continued to reside in Alabama, Mr. Manning being engaged in planting, but in 1842 they immigrated to Louisiana, located in Union Parish, where they purchased land and turned their attention to tilling the soil, becoming possessed of considerable land and a large number of slaves prior to the opening of the Civil War.
