  • Note:
    After leaving Ireland, Peter and his wife Mary moved to Scotland where their first son William was born about 1852. The family moved to America about 1854, worked their way through West Virginia and eventually settled in Bellaire, OH. From their children's birth locales and the census, we know they were living in Glovers Gap, Marion County, WV in 1855, Milo, Wetzel County, WV in 1860, and Cameron, Marshall County, WV in 1864.

    The family arrived in Bellaire by 1870. During the 1870s Peter sold grocery provisions, a business which appears to have shut down by 1880. By the late 1870s, he had established a wharf at the foot of 28th Street. The wharf served as a transit point for people and goods traveling up and down the Ohio River. In his later years Peter had a number of accidents at the wharf; he fell through a hatchway of the boat, sidelining him for several months, and had the tips of two fingers cut off when he was working with iron. Peter also operated a stable.

    In 1860 his personal worth was given as $100. The 1870 census valued his real estate at $1,200 with a further $100 in personal effects. The 1880 census finds the family living at 321 Guernsey Street. According to the censuses he could not read or write.

    The original Gaelic form of the family name MANLEY was O'Maonghaile. Other variants include Munnelly, Monnelly, and Monley. It appears as O'Monillea and Monylla in 16th century records relating to Mayo.
