IL) and children Olive (age 11, b. CA), Addie (age 9, b. CA), Augusta (age 5, b. CA), Ina (age 4, b. CA) and Dova [sp?] (age 2, b. CA), living in Long Valley, California. John is listed as a "farmer," and indicates that his father was born in New York and his mother in Kentucky. Alena indicates that her father was born in New York and her mother in Illinois.
4 1900 US Census (District 72, Long Valley, Mendocino County, California). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists John Manchester (age 60, b. Sep 1840, MO), wife Alena (age 48, b. Jan 1852, IL) and children Addie (age 27, b. Nov 1873, CA), Irene V. (age 14, b. Oct 1886, CA) and Luman J. (age 8, b. Mar 1892, CA), living in Long Valley, California. John is listed as a "farmer," and indicates that his father was born in Missouri and his mother in Indiana [both erroneous, info probably provided by Alena]. Alena indicates that her father was born in New York and her mother in Ohio. The couple indicates that they have been married for 30 years, and have had 7 children, all living.
5 1910 US Census (District 62, Long Valley, Mendocino County, California). Surety: 4. Lists John Manchester (age 70, b. MO), widower, living in the household of his deceased wife's brother, John R. Blair (age 49, b. CA). Also in the household are Sadie A. Manchester (age 25, b. CA) "niece" and "grand-nephew" Lloyd Manchester (age 5, b. CA). John Blair is listed as a "farmer," and indicates that both his parents were born in Illinois. John Manchester is listed as living on his "own income," and indicates that his father was born in New York and his mother in Kentucky. Sadie is listed as a "housekeeper," and indicates that her father was born in Canada-Scotch and her mother in England. She also indicates that she has been married for 9 years and has had 1 child, living. Lloyd's parents are both listed as born in California. The relationship between these folks is not clear. John Blair is listed as a single man (not widowed), so he cannot be the husband of a sister of John Manchester and must be the brother of John Manchester's deceased wife. It is not clear if Sadie is being listed as the niece of John Blair (most likely, as this would have been the correct way to list relationships) or of John Manchester. It is possible that she is the wife of John Manchester's son. More research is needed to clarify this relationship.
