This is Adolph Dial,)Associa .te Professor of HIstory, acting chairman of the History
and Political Science Department, Pembrooke State University. Today is August 13,1969.
Today, along with my fkther-in-law, Mr. Miles S. Jones, a native of SumPAon County who
A I
moved into Robertson County in the early 1930's, went to his old, original home Sumson
County or in the area of several different places where he lived in Sumpson. We visited
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bell. Mr. Troy Bell married Miss uh Polly Boyington.
While in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Broyington, we discussed sone of the Indian history.
Mrs. Broyington is well-informed on the Sumpson County history and who believes that
his people of Robertson County and the adjoining counties are basically of the same
racial stock. She pulled out sore old papers of interest. One is The Sampsonian,
MaaEhxaS, Thursday, March 3],1966 and this includes an article entitled "Sampson's
Indians Once Operated OQ-Scores". I shall read the article as it appears in The
Sampsonian on Thursday, March 31, 1966. "Hampton County's Indian population, forbidden
by law to send their children to white schools, and disdaining to send them to Negro
schools,once operated their own private schools in the county for their children.
Sometimes, shortly after 1910, the Indians, thend*ims known as Croatans, petitioned
the Sumpson County Board of Education for the establishment of a free public school
for Indian children. In the petition they pointed out that the Croatan Indians residing
in Sumpson County had had their residence here for over 200 years, that they were
taxpayers and citizens peacefully sharing all the burdens of the government and desiring
to share in all the benefits thereto. They pointed out that the census of 1910 showed
213 Indians in the county with over 100 of legal school age. These Indians are not
permitted to attend (and this in quotes) these Indians are not permitted to attend
and have no desire to attend the white schools and in no other section of the state
are they required to attend the colored schools". The petition pointed oat. It is also
pointed out to the school boand that the Indian parents were maintaining their own schools
as best they could, without amy benefit of tax dollars, yet they were required to and
were willing to pay county and state taxes. The petition also pointed out that the
Indians of Sumpson County were members of the sane family as those of Rcbertson County
which had recently provided separate schools for Indians. The account of the petition
by the Indians as well a a good deal of other information about the Sumpson County In-
dians is contained in a small privately printed volume by the late George E. Butler,
father of federal judge Algernon Butler and attorney Pete Butler of Quinton and
brother of the famous senator Marion Butler. The book entitlAd The Croatan of Sumpson
County: Their Origins and Racial Status-A Plea for Separate Schools was printed in 1916
and the Sumpson County Library has 1 copy. Simpson County Indians got their separate
schools in 1911 when the legislature approved them and for two years the county operated
a school for their exclusive use seeing to it that the Indians got their share of the
county school funds. The school, located in Township, was erected by
Indian families largely at their own expense. The teacher was a member of the Indian
race. In 1913 however, ibe school was closed due to friction generated when several
children with an Indian father and a Mulatto mother were sent to the school. The teacher,
acting according to the law, declined to admit them and in the fuss that followed, the
county simply refused to support the school farther. The legislature, in 1913, repealed
the act creating the Indian school and it was after this that Butler wrote his little
booklet which was a plea fr separate schools for the Indians. A tax rocls, correction,
the tax rolls for Suipson County in 1911 listed 62 Indian families in the county who
paid taxes, the majority of them in Heirings Township. Where these Indians are found in
the county, it will be noted that they are living in groups in certain sections. There
are other Indians in small numbers gathered here and there in other townships whose names
do not appear on the tax list separate from other races but they are not st. wrong enough
in number in these localities to assert their racial status because they xask realized
that it militated against them in social and other ways to do so and therefore, in lo-
calities where there are few, where there are few of them, they do not desire to alienate
the others, ykx they do not desire to alienate the other races in attempting to assert
their right as people of Indian descent said Butler in his little book. He pointed out
that many people feltthat the am Croatans were a mixture of white and Negro, but he
disagreed with this supposition and took pains to point out that the Indians in Sumpson
were readily recognized from their gentle appearance, their intelligence, their color
of their eyes, their skin, theirs straight black hair, their facial features, their
erect carriage, their~k clannishness, their gentle habits, and a that they were neither
white people nor Negro. And I quote "these people were never slaves and from the memory
of the oldest white inhabitant, they have always been free men. There is jo record that
ever purchase, there is no record that they ever purchased their freedom from former
white men. They have never been born or sold into slavery. Tfey were found living in
this country as free and separate people as long ago as we have any record of them.
In a few instances,there has been some mixtery of white and Negro bldod,but the whites
and the Negroes have not been so careful in guarding against the amahgamation of those
races as have the Indians to preserve intact and prevent their Indian blood fran mixture
with other races he said. Butler pointed out that the Sumpson County Indians for many
generations had intermarried with Indians of Robertson County and that the state had
provided fWS facilities for the Robertson Indians but would not do so for their cousins
in Sumpson. He listed 21 instances of intermarriage between Indians of the two counties,
plus a number of Robertson Indians who had moved into Sumpson and vice versa. .......'
THE Indian school in Heirings Township was erected by the county and the
Indians, with each paying half, by the county, correction, by the county and the Indians
with each paying half. Boyd CArver,an Indian of Bobertson County, was the first teacher
with the county and the school patron sharing his salary costs of $50 per month.
This was in 1910, but their schools go back much. earlier. They claim to have attended
white schools prior to 18355Pen when they were excluded. In 1859, they built a school
for their szitdxfm children which was taught by Alvin Manuel,an Indian. And this
Manuel later became,the name became Emmanuel. May I insert that myself here. After
the war, they were provided a school for their children but efforts to send Negro child-
ren to the same school forced it to close. Another Indian school was in Dismal Township
and was called Shiloh Indian Ax School. It was organized in 1910 with Anoch Emmanuel
Sr. as chairman. Miss Mattie B. Cummings a Croatan of Robertson County, was the teacher.
being paid $10 per month for two months. Later, the school was financed in part by pro-
ceeds from a cobton crop which the Indians planted, tended and harvested as a means
of securing funds for the school operation. According to Butler, they asked the county
for aid but once and when this was refused, they continued to support their skv schools
in their own wam way while also continuing to pay taxes. The Croatans are no longer
ak called by that Rmmma nane, but they should be used to axsfai rechanging of the
uh,uh, correction, the Croatans are no longer called by that name, but they should be
used to the changing of their nane since the state of North Carolina has done this at
least three times. At one time, they were designated as Cherokees, but they objected
so strongly to this that the state changed the designation to Croatans giving honor to
the Indian belief that they are descendants of Indian and white settlers of the lost
colony. In 1910, there were.....in 1910, there were 6317 ,correction,6000, uh, just
a minute here, this is hard to make mixk out, uh, let's see now, it is six thousand
something, 68]7, 6817 such Indians in 8 counties of the state,but of course, they have
grown in population, and in 1950, there-were over 7000 in, excuse me, in 1950, there
were over 700 in Sumpson County as opposed to 213 listed in the 1910 census. Several
years ago, the name of the Indians was changed once more at their request. This time
they were designated as Lumbee Indians. This is not the end of the article but a page
is missing.

uh, this, this picture here includes uh by uh,uh father-in-law Miles S. Jones Sr.,
and uh this reads "Indians Finance School"- "This school, Indian School
in Heirings Township was built jointly by the Indian families of the Heiring community
and the county in 1911. But the county refused to operate it after 1913, and for several ji
years, it was operated as a private school by the Indian patrons. This photo was made
during the period of 19-1916 and appears in a little booklet about the Sumpson County
Indians written by the late George E. Butler ofskim Clinton. I might add here that
uh, I have a clipping uh from another newspaper which uh reads uh "HQmeco-ing Queen"-
Kay Bell, a freshman student from Route 3, Clinton, was crowned homecoming queen at
Mt. Olive College Saturday night. Left to right: Charles L. Harper of Newport News,
Virginia -the queen's escort, Miss Bell, Miss Janice S. Todd of Goldber, last year's
queen who crowned the newqueen, and Al R. Warwick of Claiborne,Mississippi- Todd's escort.
This goes to show,uh, many of the people today that S ft consider Lumbeesl are mh they've
gone into various areas of the world and uh, they have done exceptionally well. Scattered
over the fifty states, ly the thousands in Baltimore, thousands in Detroit, thousands
in many in Charlotte, many in Wilmington, many in all the leading cities
in the United States, these people, when given an opportunity, have shown themselves
to compete with people of all races. I h also have in my hand, ma x a little pah pam-
phlet written by Mr. Anoch Emmanuel ,the late Anoch Emmanuel, June 15, 1921, Cooper,
North Carolina. In the preface, it reads Dear Indian friends; Having failed to get
money enough print the manuscriptse I have written for each family of my own race, I am
l
forced
fixsk to resort to nioPs exxame o a shorter method. I have written a genealogical
list that will help everyone to trace up himself for others. The map will show the
connection in marriage ties in Sunpson County, North Carolina. The marriage list will
show it in Sumpson and other counties. I suppose this effort may be criticized,but
to those who feel disposed to do so, I mmx would say I have done my best and if any-
one else can do better, I shall be glad to see it done". Page one begins with the ge-
nealogical and marriage lists. The Smith family is of Indian and white origin. They
have Indian traits-, MAKE THEM SMART
AND INDUSTRIOUS. The sane may be said of the Burnett. family. Ben B. Burnett is a brick-
makex mason, caster, andfitme finder. The Ammons family are almost extinct, extinct,
but the white blood predominates in most of them. Jim Amons died in France-his wife
Ollie B. Annmns is a school teacher and teaches in the Indian schools. She was educa-
ted at Pembrooe, North Carolina. Timothy Goodmanlived in Sumpson County. The records
in the registry of deeds office of Sumpson COunty show that he was a large owner bexre
the Civil War. The Goodman's are an industrious people-they own real estate in Sumpson
County. Nancy, the grandmother and great-grandmother of those Goodmans, now in this
county was a typical Cherokee Indian,both in looks and face. She was a midwife and
after she had performed the duties ofLher office, she would dance the Indian dance,
after the custom of the Indians of many years ago. Next we come to the Stricklands-they
own real estate in Heiring Township and are industrious and kind. We need not mention
the connection of these people iasit shows,as it is shown in the list of marriages in
this pamphlet. They have always been classed with the rest of the classified Indians
and have been their asso, associates ever since the writer has known them. We now come
to the Jacobs families. Ihey are the descendants of Primus and Abraham Jacobs who lived
on Roan's Swamp in Marsh Branch in Sumpson County, North Carolina. Prior to the Revol-
utionary War in 1764, a grant from King George III was issued to Abraham Jacobs for
200 acres of land on Roan's Swamp-see Register of Deeds records in Sumpson County-Book
I, page 474. Later, in 179], Cornelius Sikes conveyed to him 36 acres on the south side
See
of Six Runs in Sumpson County. Book IX-page:,22. Primus Jacobs was a soldier in the
Revolutionary War. He was a grandfather of Gabriel and Archie Jaoobs, was kind and
XeEx free-hearted and a well-organized man. His physical strength was more than that
of the ordinary man. He was a by trade. Jesse Jacobs was a Baptist
minister. He owned land on Bear Skin Swamp. The writer of this pamphlet remembers
very well when he owned 600 acres of land near Bear Skin Swamp. And like the personal
property, he was buried iK in Wayne County. There are a good many of the Simnons fami-
ly in Sumpson County. They are the descendants of the late Grain Sinmmns jwho married
Betsy J. Thornton in the year 1843. She was the mother of William Sinmcns and had, and
has had nu, numerous grandchildren now living in Sumpson County. Betsy was half white
and half Indian. William's father was James Simmons of Fable, North Carolina who mar-
ried Winnie 1edline. He made affadavits in 1902 in order that her son William could
vote under the gaxax grandfather clause that her mother was wx a white woman and her
father an Indian. The history of the Croatans of Sumpson County-page 62. William claims
that his grandfather and grandmother on his father's side were Indians and came from
Roanoke _. t They are good specimens of the Indian race. They are indus-
trious and good William Simmons was a member of the Indian clan at its
first organization and elected treasurer of the clan. They lived in South Clinton Town-
ship and owned lots of land and other personal property. They are well-to-do people-
they are kin to the Winds. You will see in the marriage lists their connection. The
Maynor family is about the largest family of Indiansin Sumpson County except the
Braingtons. The My iMynor's are said to be descendants of Matio, the friendly Indian
chief that was made lord of Roanoke by the white people after his voyage across the
ocean to England.-see McMillan's History of the Indians of Robertson County. Matio
was always friendly with the whites and we suppose he had a loving and friendly appear-
ance with the Indians. The Maynor's are the most friendly and loving sets of Indians
on the consideration known to the writer of thisxmn pamphlet. It is not unreasonable
Mayor' s
to think they inherited it from Matio. The ~IT asm are of jbure Indian blood mingled
with white. The Maynors have many Indian traits. In the former days, they were
mighty hunters and fishermen and very expert with their bows and guns, but now-apany
of them are good farmers. The Manuel's can be traced back to about fihe beginning of
the 17th century. Nicholas Manuel derived his name from two batchelors,namely Nicho-
las and Manuel Canobley. Tradition te&ls us he was a
found at the door of Nicholas and Manuel Canobley and was given the name Nicholas:
Manuel, He had a son and called his name Ethraim Manuel. This Emmanuel had a son and
he was
named him Nicholas. He was called Nicholas-mambno the third generation and married
Millie Hale, a white woman. _Emmanuel was a soldier in the Revolutionary
War. He was the father of Shade, Lum, and Mike and Ethraim, Nicholas anSticie and
SThey claim that their Indian ancestors were the Indians that occupied the
county about Roanoke River. The Manuel's sometime k in the latter part of the seven-
teenth century and the first part of the Eckh eighteenth century married
on correction,on big Coharie,little Coharie, and soft
A dreat many of them moved north prior to the Civil War and since then,
some have gone south. The name of late is spelled Emanuel. Dave Hardin and Joanathan
Hardin lived on Big Coharie many years ago. The Hardin family of Indians in Sumpson
County have passed out. Amos Hardin, __Hardin,J.D.1ardin,and Hardin is spelled
Hardin and Henry Hardin were buried in the Braington Cemetary on Beaver Dam Swamp.
Augustus Robertson is the only family of Robertsons living in this county at present.
He is a descendant of Jim Robertson who recently died in Robertson County. She&ly
Namath was the wife, was the first wife of James Robertson. They were refugees at the
close of the Civil War and Shelly died near Kenston, North Carolina and was buried in
Lenore County. Afterwards, he married and I shall spell this, Edielizer, her sister.
They were the daughters of Bob Namath. This individual, Edielizer, was the mother of
Augustus Robertson. He is very industrious and a good citizen. We next turn to the
A" ington Family,
The records in the office of the Register of Deeds in Supson County show that Hannah
Brewington purchased land in Sumpson County in the year 1807. He lived in Sumpson
County from 1775 to 1850. She was the xmkiwkk am mother of Raiford Brewington. He
was a good and a well-to-do man. He raised a large family of children.
He was buried in the Brewington Cemetary at his home. The Brewington's own real estate
in this county. They are like the Maynor's, kind and generous. H.A.Brewington and
wife are buried in the Brewington Cemetary. There is another set of Brewingtons on
the west side of Little Ooharie. They are the descendants of the old man Johnson Brew-
ington.who married Nancy Emmanuel, the daughter of Jack Emmanuel. There is but one
family of Bells living in this section at present. For many years ago, they owned real
estate-on the ask east side of South River. J.H.Bell is a descendant of Larkin Bell
and Billie Corbit. They are true specimens of Indians. The family lived
in South Clinton Township. They are good and classified with all others you
can see in the general listx)f marriages. The Jones family on the west side of Little
Coharie that lived in Dismal Township are descendants of the Brooks and
Jones is very punctual and seems very much interested intact trying to ele-
the
vate his race. The Grove families are descendants of the Maynor's and James Grove
and the Carter's. The Whiteheads are the descendants of the Maynors and John Whitehead.
Luther Wilkdxi,Luther Wilkins father was Wilkins and
Wilkins married Teelatha an Indian woman of Robertson County.He has several
sons and daughters. They are all good Indians. Luther Wilkins, the son of
Wilkins, married Mary Smith, daughter of Daniel Smith. They are relatives of White-
heads and Maynors. The Wilkins family shows their Indian blood by their features and
their traits. They are good and kind and friendly and are liked by the people of their
community. Luther Wilkins had several children. His grandfather was Perry Wilkins who
married Sally Revell. His grandfather was Scion Mikih Wilkins who married Rodicy
Carver. Scion Wilkins was the son of Jonas Wilkins, a white man that came from England.
William J. son of Polly Yi3 a It i Spej eiso,
has always been a citizen of Sumpson County. His mother was a white woman, the daughter
of Robin Bedsole, his father unknown to us. He has always with
Indians and has been as much or more than any other Indian in Sumpscn County to have
our race classified and recognized as Indians public schools. He has spent
more money than any other Indian in Sumpson to elevate the Indian race.
