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).
