The Manser's of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, have been traced back to the Loyalist Manzer's of New Brunswick, and then back to New York, and as far back as England. Before that, it is still being checked into.
According to a Genealogy of The MANZER Family Compiled by R. Wendell Manzer The Manzer family is of Germanic origin, probably from Southern Germany. In terms of heraldry the Blazon of Arms reads: "MANZER" Arms: Argent, a tower gules, porticulled or, on a mount of three hills sable. Crest: the tower. The first one to have this coat of arms was of royalty or near royalty. Sometime before 1635 one or more of the Manzer family went to England. On May 2, 1635 James Manzer, born 1608, sailed from England to the Barbados on the Alexander. He took part in the battle of Jamaica and family legend says he was given the right to use the family coat of arms for his part in the battle. In 1760 (+/-) when Britain raised the taxes in Barbados and Jamaica, he, along with many others, moved to Long Island to a place they named Jamaica. In 1778 the Manzer property was located near what is now the Long Island end of the Brooklyn Bridge. On July 5,1778 five descendents of James Manzer joined the DeLancey Brigade, 2nd Batallion. They were Christopher, Barnet, Martin, Daniel and John. Christopher and Barnet later became Sergeants. All were single at this time except Barnet who was married to Mary Lester. The 2nd Battalion, was formed for the purpose of defending the property on Long Island. When it was transferred to Georgia, the Manzer boys transferred to the 3rd and continued their part of the war on Long Island. However, at the end of the war they went back to the 2nd and came with the 2nd to New Brunswick as United Empire Loyalists in 1783, with the exception of Daniel, who went to Stanstead in 1801. He married Nancy Davis. family: Lois Sept. 7, 1799- , John- July 2,1802 - , Daniel - Aug. 7,1804 - , Ruth - Mar.14, 1806 -, Horace - Mar.20,1808 - , Nancy - Aug.8,1811 - , Valerie - May 27, 1814. The New Brunswick Manzers stayed in St. John for a time, Barnet and Mary living on four acres bounded by what are now known as Waterloo and Golding Streets. Eventually they went on to their lots in Queens County, Christopher and Barnet to Waterboro, Martin to Washademoak and John to Wickham. Barnet later moved to Gagetown and later still to Briggs Corner near Chipman. Reference code #"mc"
