JOHN G. MANUEL was born in Fayette County, Ky., June 15, 1817, and is a son
of William and Starling (Cameron) Manual, natives of Fayette and Scott
Counties respectively.  His grandfather, Manuel, came from Germany, and his
grandfather, Cameron, was probably from Scotland.  William Manuel was
drafted in the war of 1812, but was able to supply a substitute.  John G.
Manuel removed from Fayette to Woodford County at the age of fifteen,
remained with his mother on the farm until seventeen and was then
apprenticed to Thomas Dean, a tailor of Versailles.  He worked as a
journeyman until 1848, when he entered business for himself, but abandoned
it in 1852, and engaged in merchandising in Mortonsville until 1878, when
he sold out to his son, William F.  He is a member of the Methodist Church,
and was married, April 6, 1846, to Elizabeth Booth, a native of Woodford
County, and a daughter of Frederick Booth, of Virginia.  Mrs. Manuel died
July 8, 1885, a member of the Baptist Church, leaving two children:
Josephine and William F.  The latter was born August 20, 1852, and was
married, April 3, 1878, to Mattie G. Bohon, succeeded to his father's
business the same year, and was appointed postmaster of Mortonsville.
With his wife, he is a member of the Baptist CHurch.
