Research still needed
The extract supplies no established birth or death dates for this person. The claim dated 22 February 1774 is not a date for this person’s life. The numbered entries alone do not establish parent–child relationships between successive entries. People with the same first name are kept separate until evidence supports an identification.
Compare the original draft grant with independent records before adding dates, identifying a similarly named person, or accepting the claimed relationship. Philip McManus explicitly questioned the pedigree’s attempt to connect different McManus branches.

Adjacent entry to investigate
Entry 15 names Rosa as a daughter of Charles McManus. The repeated name suggests a connection to this entry, but that identification still needs verification.
