New information & records that I have found recently shed some light on STEPHEN MANWARING/MAINWARING b abt 1630 England, who lived Westmoreland Co VA and Perquimans Co NC, and died 1699 Richmond Co VA.
To begin with, the "Thigpen Tribe" book by Alice Whitley Smith and/or Helen Bassett in a previous post in the Manwaring forum on this website indicate that STEPHEN married HANNAH VOSE JONES, who was a widow with a small son JOHN JONES who was mentioned in STEPHEN's 1699 Richmond Co VA will.
I now believe this assumption is incorrect.
STEPHEN did marry HANNAH VOSE, but she was not previously married to a JONES, and was not the mother of grandson JOHN JONES mentioned in the will.
According to Robert K Headley in the book, "Married Well & Often," STEPHEN MANWARING's daughter (first name unknown) married JOHN JONES I b abt 1660s Northumberland Co VA, died 1695 Westmoreland Co VA. He was married at least twice, his last wife being named Mary, and she possibly an ASHTON. The unknown MAINWARING/MANWARING was his first wife, and bore him two sons, JOHN JONES II and MAiNWARING/MANWARING JONES. Here is an abstract of JOHN JONES I Westmoreland Co VA will:
"Will of JOHN JONES written Jan 1695, probated March 25, 1695: Son ASHTON JONES when 18 years of age; daughter ELIZABETH JONES; sons MAINWARING JONES & JOHN JONES to live with their mother in law (stepmother) MARY JONES and she all the personal estate and plate until they are 20 years old. Wife to be executrix."
Here is what I have gleaned so far:
STEPHEN MAINWARING/MANWARING b abt 1630 England, lived Westmoreland Co VA & Perquimans Co NC, died 1699 Richmond Co VA

children by wife ELIZABETH UNKNOWN who died before 1688:
Elizabeth MANWARING b abt 1671 Westmoreland Co VA m James THIGPEN II
Susannah MANWARING b abt 1670s Westmoreland Co VA m Stephen TRAMISON (sp?)
Unknown MANWARING b abt 1670s Westmoreland Co VA m JOHN JONES I

children by wife HANNAH VOSE, who died before 1697:
John MANWARING b abt 1688 Perquimans Co NC
Hannah MANWARING b abt 1690s Perquimans Co NC m Robert MOORE
Third Wife JANE indicated from 1699 Richmond Co VA will (one transcription shows her as Joan). Robert K Headley in his book "Married Well & Often" indicates this JANE/JOAN was a HEATH (not a VOSE or WILKINSON as some sources have indicated) and was executrix for a Joseph HEATH, but I have not been able to verify this.
Comments appreciated, more research to come.

PS I would like to find the source that shows this STEPHEN MANWARING/MAINWARING of VA & NC as a son of Rev JOHN MAINWARING, Rector of Stoke on Trent, England & SUSANNAH PIGGOT. Lots of folks have posted this information, but I personally haven't been able to verify it.
