Personal Correspondence, 1851, 1882, 1886
The James M. Manning papers consist of approximately 173 documents dealing with surveying in South Texas during the nineteenth century.
The James M. Manning papers are organized into two sections: 1) Personal Records which include personal correspondence, financial documents, land transactions, his will and other such matters, and 2) Surveyor Records including business correspondence, survey requests, land applications and certificates, bills and receipts, deeds, contracts, agreements, plats, surveys, maps, field notes, and other legal and surveying documents. Altogether, they represent a seminal collection of South Texas surveying records and supplement the other local surveyors’ collections held by the department.
