Doctor Amasa Webb Manire was born in Rockvale Community of Rutherford County, February 8, 1837 to Lemuel and Susan Ann Elizabeth Jackson Manire, of the Versailles community. His father, Lemuel, had first moved from Fairfax County, Virginia, their ancestral home, and settled in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, west of the railroad and cotton gin. Lemuel Manire died at the age of 43, about one week before the birth of Amasa. The bereaved wife with her small family moved to the holdings of Jody Rawlston, which is now the L.F. Woodson home.
In 1858 Manire married Julia White, daughter of William and Eliza White, who bore him twelve children. In August 1861 young Manire enlisted as a private in the 24th Tennessee Volunteers Regiment, Company A of the Confederate States of America, recruiting at the time in the Versalilles Community. For basic training he was transported by train to Camp Trousdale, north of Gallatin, Tennessee. He served ten months until his term expired, a steward to Dr. J.M. Bridges, a Confederate surgeon and later as his assistant. He was discharged at Corinth, Mississippi in May 1862, after the battle of Shiloh, Tennessee when the Confederate Army removed to that location. Upon his discharge he was hospitalized in Nashville for acute bronchitis which eventually caused his death many years later.
Manire, a young man of 25, did not reenlist as his two brothers David Crockett and Lemuel, Jr. did. He preferred to return home to help the family in the time of great personal tragedy. Upon enlisting he had left a young wife with an infant child, John Webb, born in 1860, who later became a doctor. Their first child, William L., born in 1859, died in infancy. Also, he left his widowed mother who was in ill health and who died in April a month before his discharge.
Obviously motivated by his service in the military and after the War Between the States, Manire took the necessary medical training at the Nashville School of Medicine and became a civilian physician. he went on to the University of Tennessee where he graduated. He practiced medicine in Rutherford, Bedford, and Coffee counties for more than 50 years.
After the death of his first wife, Manire married Lucy Blanton, August 27, 1897.
