 MANLEY of Boston, MA, Coventry & Wethersfield, CT, Sandisfield, MA, and Hounsfield, Jefferson Co., NY
Since Asa Manley was in the 1820 census of Hounsfield, New York, it stands to reason that perhaps Asa was sent ahead to prepare the land for the family, or that once he had established himself, he invited his father to come live with him.
Asa and Lydia returned to New York after the birth of daughter Lydia, and were enumerated in Hounsfield in 1820.
In the 1825 New York State census of Jefferson County, Asa "Manly" was living in Hounsfield, in dwelling number 25, with three other males and five women, an increase partly explainable by the arrival of his elderly father, Daniel, from Massachusetts.

 Magnetic Resonance Imagin... - The Science of Imaging
One was the work of British electronics engineer Godfrey Hounsfield, who in 1971 built an instrument that combined an x-ray machine and a computer and used certain principles of algebraic reconstruction to scan the body from many directions--manipulating the images to produce a kind of cutaway view of the interior.
Although Cormack's work was not widely circulated, in 1979 he and Hounsfield shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for the development of computerized tomography, or CT. The principles underlying CT are the foundation of many sophisticated imaging methods in use today.
Then in 1969, Raymond Damadian, a physician at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, began to think of a way to use the technique to probe the body for early signs of cancer.
