Researching Harriet J Walker (born 1831 in Tn) married 1849 in Calloway Co MO to Nelson B. Freeman (born TN) . Daughter Mary Louisa Freeman Shumate born 1851 Calloway Co MO applied for land due to her Cherokee heritage when Indian Territory was settled. Her claim was rejected because she lacked one name needed for proof. Is there anywhere on file or in any archieves information on rejected claims and where does one search for such information. If such a file exists, it would contain valuable genealogy for me. Any help or suggestions appreciated.
