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]
