The Memoir of Frances Manwaring Caulkins, in the History of New London, states: 'Richard,2 the fifth child and oldest son (of Oliver1 Manwaring) was bap. July 13, 1673. He married Eleanor, daughter of Richard Jennings, May 25, 1710. They had seven children. (Records of only four children are found in New London.) No record is preserved of the death of either of them, but the inventory of his estate was taken May 10, 1763, and probably indicates the correctness of the tradition that he lived to the ace of ninety.'
From the Probate Record, New London, we gather: 'An inventory of the estate of Mr. Richard Manwaring, late of New London, deceased, taken by us the subscribers under oath, Imprs. About 9 or 10 acres of land adjoining Jordan, £40-0-0.
