Miles Manuel
Jackie found someone of interest, Miles Manuel a black man living in Michigan and served in a colored Union Army unit. He might be a relative of the documented black man, S. Manuel who lived at the Lathrop house in 1880. The civil war soldier and sailor system lists this:
Miles Manuel
102 United States Colored Infantry
Company E
Rank in: Private
Rank out: Private
Film # M589 roll 56
Miles Manuel is listed on the African American Civil War Memorial, plaque # C-101.
and also,
Miles Manuel
59 United States Colored Infantry
Company A
Rank in: Private
Rank out: Private
Film # M589 roll 56
Miles Manuel is listed on the African American Civil War Memorial, plaque # C-70.
Jackie's comment about Miles
The 102nd Regiment was organized May 23, 1864, from the 1st Michigan Colored Infantry. The 59th Regiment was organized March 11, 1864, from the 1st Tennessee Infantry. These two listings for a Miles Manuel are probably two different people. The date of death as listed in Minorities of Lenawee County might be wrong.

Jackie's comment about Miles
Miles Manuel was listed as a Lenawee County Civil War Soldier. His town of origin was Tecumseh. He enlisted in the 1st Michigan Colored Infantry at the age of 24. He died on 12-29-1863 in Detroit, Michigan.Lucian Lathrop had a son named Miles and S. Manuel lived at Lucian's house.Minorities of Lenawee County
Could this be a relative of the Manuel's living on the Lathrop property after the Civil War? I did a search on ancestry.com, but the information is contradictory.

Miles was 24 when recruited and his home was Detroit. www.michiganinthewar.org/infantry/1colore.htm
The 1st Michigan was organized in the fall of 1863. Miles may have died during basic training.
