McManus who joined the volunteer infantry company of Captain William M. Logan on March 6th, 1836 in answer to Colonel William B. Travis's appeal for aid. Unaware of Travis's fate, the company marched to the Colorado River, where it joined Gen. Sam Houstons army on its retreat into East Texas. After observing McManus in a skirmish with Mexican cavalry, Erastus (Deaf) Smith selected him as one of four scouts - the others being Henry wax karnes, Washington H. Secrest, and Fielding Secrest to maintain contact and spy on Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's  army and report its strength and movements to Gen. Houston. McManus was discharged on June 6th, 1836 and served in the militia company of Captain Newton Swinney of Beat Number Nine, Liberty Co. You can read more about R.O.W.
