He may have been the unfortunate boy who suffered the crime of sodomy having been attacked by an enslaved black. (see documents) & another book passage on the topic

Perhaps Manuel was also known as Emanuel and his father Simon stood as witness for the twins Adam And Eve.

1644 May 08; Philippe Swartinne; Anna; Everadus Bogardus, Emanuel Congo, Anthony Van Angola
but who is Philippe Swartinne ?... Also the child Anna doen't seem to show up elsewhere

1647 Mar 31; Emanuel Neger; Adam (twin); Simon Congoy Augustyn, Pallas and Ceceitia
the inference here is that Simon is Emanuel's father

1647 Mar 31; Emanuel Neger; Eva (twin); Simon Congoy Augustyn, Pallas and Ceceitia

1648 Feb 16; Emanuel-brother in law of Van Angola; Dominicus; Franciscus-Neger, Pallas-Negrinne
with Pallas showing up for all of these baptisms, we might guess that it is the same Emanuel... perhaps Emanuel is her son?
