INDIAN FAMILIES OF SAMPSON COUNTY BY ENOCH EMANUEL AND C. D. BREWINGTON SKETCH OF THE EMANUEL FAMILY The mixed race of people living in Sampson County are sure that the statements given to us by our ancestors concerning our origin are true. We have only asked for Indian prestige, while we know in our veins also flows the blood of our white ancestors. We have always been told by our fathers and mothers that we were mixed with the lost colony of the Roanoke. We therefore are a mixture of Governor White's colony and the original Indians. I have been requested to write a short history of our race. I am seventy years old, and have spent my life among my people. I have taught the schools in the Indian community for the past thirty-five or forty years. Though we were not known in the public mind as Indians, yet I knew all the while that we were pure white and Indian descent. Nicholas Emanuel, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and fought side by side with the white soldiers, was my grandfather. He was the son of one Ephraim Emanuel, the son of the first Nicholas Emanuel, who was said to be the descendant of white and Indian. It was told me that they married Portuguese women. One of the women was named Mahalie. The other I do not know. My grandfather, Nicholas Emanuel, married Millie Hale, a pure white woman, of Scotch-Irish descent. Their oldest son was Shadrack Emanuel, who was born during the beginning of the Revolutionary War. All the other children were born soon after the war. Among them was my own father, Michael Emanuel. He married Pharby Harding, who was the daughter of Jonathan Harding, white and Indian.

Nicholas married Emelia Millie Hale 1776, Duplin, North Carolina, USA. Emelia was born 1755, North Carolina, USA; died 1855, North Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Ephraim Emanuel, born about 1725, was listed in the muster roll of Captain Elisha Williams' Edgecombe County Militia in the 1750's [Clark, Colonial Soldiers of the South, 675]. He may have been the husband of Hannah Mannuel who was paid by the estate of James Harris of Halifax County, North Carolina, between 10 August 1774 and December 1776 [Gammon, Record of Estates II:26]. He was taxable on 500 acres and one poll in Sampson County in 1784 [L.P. 64.1 by N.C. Genealogy XIV:2174]. The Sampson County court recommended that he be exempt from paying tax on 20 September 1785 [Minutes 1784-1800]. He made a deed of gift to his son Jesse of 300 acres on the west side of Coharie Swamp in Sampson County on 15 September 1789 and sold land to Levy Manuel in the same area of Sampson County on 1 April 1795 [DB 8:414; 9:485]. Ephraim was head of a Sampson County household of 3 "other free" in 1790 [NC:51].

EMANUAL (see MANUEL) DeMaree (1993, p. 29) traces the Manuel
(Emanuel) family from Elizabeth City County, Virginia, to Roanoke River
to Sampson and Robeson counties, N.C. This Lumbee name was found in
the 1790 census of Sampson Co. and Ephraim Emanuel, Levi Manuel and
Lucretia Manuel were listed in Sampson County in 1184. There were none
named Manuel or Emanuel in the 1850 census of Robeson. The 1900
Directory of Robeson lists the name in Townsend. Emanual was listed as
Indian in the 1930 census of Pembroke Township. Death records show the
name Emanuel in 1921 and 1936 as numerous in Lumberton township but
also found in Back Swamp, Saddletree and Smiths townships. Cited at
Bethel Hill Church and Deep Branch cemeteries by Jane Blanks Barnhill,
Sacred Grounds, 2001, a listing of 162 Lumbee cemeteries. The name is
most often listed among the "Sampson County Indians" (DeMaree, 1992).
