It was typed and notarized probably to used for her sons, Lemuel D. LONG and Robert H. LONG to gain Cherokee Citzenship. I don't believe he ever used it, for various reasons. In it she described her family Cherokee status, and a few others. Many thanks to my cousin in TX for preserving it and giving our family copies.
