I have no idea of the origin of the Manuel name, I can only go back from my husband to his great grandfather. My husbands family did live in Mississippi Co,AR on more than one occassion. In Sep of 1936 Roy Claiborn Manuel lived in Keiser.He married Mae Southern (second wife). It was told that she had a son when they married, she was 19 according to license.It was also told that the child belonged to Roy.
Later, in 1946 Roy and his third wife lived in Lepanto when thier third son was born. In May 1949 thier fourth son was born in Luxora. Then in 1954 sixth son was born in Luxora. They continued to live there and in 1958 seventh son was born in Luxora.After that they moved around some more and moved back to the vicinity. Leaving for good in Dec 1961 when they moved to McCurtain co.,OK where they remain to this day.Osceola is a name I have heard many times.but I do not when they lived there.
Roy had a brother, Elmer Haskell who grew up in Prentiss Co.,MS and lived in Memphis most of his life.
Thier father Tom Manuel lived in Memphis from 1937 -1969 for sure. I have heard of one sister, but no name is known.
Tom had ties to Mississippi co,AR, but I do not know at this time what they were. I have been looking for info on this family for 25 years. Tom's father was listed as Harrison Manuel on the application for SS #.
