For his Revolutionary services he received large grants in Rutherford and Williamson Counties. His last years were spent at his plantation on Murfree's Fork near Burwood, TN and he is buried in the family cemetery there. Captain William Lytle gave the land on which Murfreesboro is built and named it in honor of his good friend Col. Murfree.
They were the parents of thirteen children.
Major Maney died while Franklin was occupied by Federal troops and a singular document in county records notes an incident involving members of his family during that trying time. Mrs. Maney, her son William and her grandson Joseph Bowman were arrested by Federal authorities because in March the two young men had waded the Harpeth and by stealth had passed through the Yankee lines ringing the town. Joseph Bowman although a youth of sixteen was a Confederate soldier as such, whether intentionally or not he had violated military ethics. They were placed under $15,000 bond and could not enter Franklin without express permission in writing all had to remain in that part of Williamson countuy lying north of the Big Harpeth.
Their house was used as a hospital during the war.
After Mrs. Maney's death the place was sold through Chancery Court by Laurance Maney. The home tract of eighty one acres was bought by Dr. John S. Park who in 1864 had married a daughter of the house, Margaret Ann Maney.
