William Foster Manary was born May 12, 1818, in McMinn County, Tennessee, son of Edward Manary and Mary Elizabeth Upshaw. On November 18, 1840, William married Elizabeth Zaney Lowery, who was born March 6, 1820 in Tennessee, daughter of Michael Lowery and Sarah Hian. Zaney was a full-blood Cherokee Indian.
Zaney and William had eight children: an unnamed daughter who died at birth, James Monroe Manary, Sarah Adeline Manary, John Adams Manary, George Washington Manary, Lucinda Jane Manary, Rhoda Caroline Manary, and William Foster Manary Jr.
Zaney avoided having to go on the Trail of Tears by being married to a white man. William and Zaney stayed in Tennessee and migrated to Kentucky for a couple of years, then on to Missouri with the Cantrells, where they had a good sized homestead on Cantrell Creek. Sarah and William's daughter, Rhoda Caroline, had married John David Cantrell.
William died April 30, 1904 in Duncan, Missouri (Wright County) and was buried there in the Old Sixteenth Cemetery. Zaney died February 26, 1912 in Webster County, Missouri, and was buried in Old Sixteenth Cemetery beside her husband.
