In the 1800 Pendleton District, S.C. census we find Mannering head of his own household (living near the household of his widowed mother and his other siblings).
Mannering Towery has the distinction of being the only Towery to have served in the War of 1812.
About 1826 Mannering moved his family from Lincoln Co., Tenn. to Monroe Co. Mississippi. There, he and his older sons began to accumulate land. His wife, Winnie, apparently died between the census years of 1840 and 1850. Mannering is listed in the 1850 census but is not listed in the 1860 census. Therefore, we assume his death occured between these dates.
(1.) The oldest child of Mannering and Winnifred was Jacob Towery, born ca. 1798. He married Margaret (maiden name unknown). They were the parents of at least 9 children and lived their lives ouot in Itawamba Co.,
Mississippi.
(2.) Child #2 was William Wilborn Towery, born 1805. He married Nancy Teague. They were the parents of 8 children and lived out their lives in Monroe Co., Mississippi
