Help needed finding out about Martin B Maney 1748 - 1830.

I need some help finding out about Martin Burleson Maney before he came to the United States. Here is the information I do have:

Martin Burelson Maney 1748 - 1830 from the Templeludigen Parish in County Wexford. Ancestry.com lists his parents as James Maney & Scellos Bruce. He came to America and fought in the revolutionary war when he was about 19 years old. Records of the Spotsylvania County Virgina Minute Book 1774-1782 on which records Fielding Lewis' entry that he 'came into Court and made oath that in October 1769 he imported into this State eighty two indented servants from Ireland on the Brigg Fanny by Captain Richard Taylor . . . .' Martin is found as the first name on line fifteen of that record. In researching who Fielding Lewis was I discovered him as being the brother-in-law to Commanding General George Washington."

Martin B Maney is the ancestor of all of the western North Carolina Maneys. Martin was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and an Indian fighter. He was born in 1748. No records can be found concerning his parents or place of birth. Martin was a resident of Washington, North Carolina, (now Tennessee) when he enlisted in the service of the United Colonies at the Long Island of the Holston on December 4, 1775. When he applied for pension in 1818, he stated that he was in the company of Captain James Knox in the Eighth Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Muhlenberg. He testified that he was in the battle of White Plains, Germantown, and Monmouth, and that he was discharged at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

In 1779, Martin re-enlisted for three more years. This time he served in the Ninth Virginia Regiment. Even after his term was over, he was called upon several times to take part in frontier Indian skirmishes and to scout. Maney also served under Lt. Colonel Burges Ball. In September of 1781, Martin married Keziah Vann. They were married near Jonesboro, Washington County, east Tennessee. Martin was still in the army when he married Keziah Vann. Maney was in a company cavalry stationed at Campbell’s Station on big Limestone Creek. In 1782, he was drafted back into the army. He served under Captain James Wilson and Colonel John Sevier to go against the Indians and the Tories at the Tennessee River. He returned home three months later.

Sometime between 1790 and 1796, Martin Maney moved to Buncombe County, North Carolina. In 1796, his family was well settled in Buncombe County. In 1810, Martin was listed as the head of the family, but in 1820, Martin’s oldest son was listed as the head of the family. On March 16, 1821, records show that at sixty-nine, Martin was blind. Keziah was fifty-six. On April 15, 1830, Martin Maney died. In 1832, the Maney residence was in Buncombe County, but in 1833, part of Buncombe was formed into Yancey County. The Maney’s land was part of Buncombe that formed Yancey. One December 10, 1849, Keziah Maney died. Keziah is said to have been one-half Cherokee Indian.
