I am looking for information on Nancy Jane Manuel/Emanuel and her husband Johnson Brewington of Sampson County, NC. Nancy's daughter was Polly Ann Brewington married to a  Bennett Jackson, his name may have been Arthur also. I have a death certificate and will only for my maternal great grandmother Polly Ann Brewington with her parents and spouse's name on it. They are connected to the Brewingtons of Tennessee and Sampson County and South Carolina. My mtdna test shows that my maternal ancestors were European from Northern and Western Europe. My haplogroup is H10e2 that evolved outside of Europe from Iberia before migrating to North Europe Russia and Finland. I am of Native American and Circum-Polar Ancestry. Basically a female from my maternal ancestors married a Native American that was labeled as a mulatto man of African ancestry. They were marginalized to the black community  and continued to marry within the black American community while others married Europeans and Native Americans. My desire is to find information on my Nancy Jane Manuel/Emanuel and her ancestors. Many of them left Pennsylvania and traveled through  West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and finally settling west of the Catawba River, Lincolnton, Winston-Salem, Rockingham, Pender County, Wayne, Duplin and finally Sampson County and Cumberland County. I know that many of the family divided along racial and cultural stigmas. Some migrated to California, Mississippi,Florida, Louisiana and Texas. While many left Sampson County and moved to Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Michigan has the largest Finnish Community and much of my mtdna leads to Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, Utah, Iowa and Minnesota where you will find people of German andFinnish ancestry. The English side of my mother's ancestors lead to New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,New Hampshire, Maine, Nova Scotia and Canada. You can reach me at: galerey@yahoo.com
