Naval officer; born in Torquay, England, in 1733; became a seaman in early life; settled in Marblehead; commanded a vessel in the merchant service before the Revolutionary War, and was commissioned captain in the naval service by Washington in the fall of 1775.
He soon captured in Boston Harbor, with the schooner Lee, three valuable prizes laden with heavy guns, mortars, and intrenching tools, much wanted by the patriots besieging Boston.
In August, 1776, Congress commissioned him captain, and placed him in command of the frigate Hancock, thirty-two guns, in which he captured the British man-of-war Fox.
the Hancock was captured in July, 1777, and Manley was a prisoner during nearly the whole of the war. In September, 1782, he commanded the frigate Hague, and cruised in the West Indies.
