Hi Anita,

Many od m mother's relatives came from Pennsylvania and in the area of Chester County, some of my mtdna matches for surnames are Greene, Proctor, Long, Silvers, and many more. I am Jewish and quiet and admixture. I am looking for information on Nancy Jane Manuel/Emanuel and her husband Johnson Brewigton of Sampson County, NC. Nancy's daughter was Polly Ann Brewington married to a  Bennett Jackson, his name may have been Arthur also. I a death certificate oly for Polly Ann Brewington with her parents and spouse's name on it. They are connected to the Brewington's of Tennessee and Sampson County and possibly 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 do have Native American and Artic Ancestry. Basically a female from my maternal ancestors married a mulatto man of African and European ancestory or a black man and man and some 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 migraed 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, and Minnesota where you will find people of German and Finnish ancestry. The English side of my mother's ancestors lead to New York, Connecticutt, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

perhaps this might be the mill or one of them? I saw a different shot on the state park page:
