I finally got a static IP to work using the Network Manager.

I had to do the following.
Set my /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
_______________ /etc/network/interfaces _______________
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Wireless interface
auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

# The secondary network interface
auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
_________________________________________________________

Then after a reboot I had to remove auto eth0.
Then I created a new wired connection called Wired Ethernet 1.
Once I did this I was able to set a static address and this new profile was 
written to 
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

I'll look at getting a bridge network up for Virtual Box later.
