Joseph Philip Manning (October 15, 1827 – September 15, 1916) was a pioneer who crossed the Oregon Trail in 1848. He homesteaded north of the Columbia River where he served as a member of the Washington Territory legislature,〔http://www.leg.wa.gov/History/Territorial/Documents/territorial_assembly_members.pdf〕 Lewis County sheriff and assessor, and postmaster of the town of Winlock. ==Pioneer== As a young man—barely twenty years of age—he crossed to the Oregon Territory driving a team of oxen. He met Caroline Aubert and her sister who were traveling in the same wagon train. The Aubert family had come to Illinois from Switzerland. Their father had gone west and joined his countryman, John Sutter,in California prior to the discovery of gold. The teenage sisters had been orphaned and had joined the wagon train in the employ of a sympathetic family. Several years after arriving in Oregon, the two were married and moved to the thinly-populated Washington Territory north of the Columbia River.〔http://files.usgwarchives.net/wa/lewis/bios/manning138gbs.txt〕
