I have found these members of STRICKLAND Family in this list=- DAWES ENROLLMENT CARDS (pasted below)... Now how can I find the details on the actual cards??? Our STRICKLANDs were originally from the Isle of Wight VA into BERTIE/NASH/EDGECOMB and SAMPSON County NC. Many of our line migrated to GA & ALA around mid 1830s, carrying the same names. My direct line came back to NC and stayed here.There are so-o-o-o many JACOB & ISSAC STRICKLANDs in our line- so how do I identify these in further detail??? And from VA, NC or GA? My grandfathers oral history:We know there is much Cherokee blood in our Stricklands, but no known documentation as until my grandfather- they were mostly illiterate. My grandfather was mostly self taught in literacy) My grandfather looked def. NA and spoke Cherokee phrases and greetings so it cant be too far removed. He always said his mother was also 1/2 Cherokee- but after finding her family of LEEs- [Long David LEE /Jessie LEE line] I cant seem to pin it down on any documentation. (Most Census they were unlisted in race column, and later as white). We know many Cherokee STRICKLANDs are now in Oklahoma, as my grandfather was there back in the 30s-40s (sometime in that period.) . I am not certain how they got there (on the trail???)- again no written records such as bibles are avail with their names. Any of you OK. STRICKLANDs on this list??? My grandfather also told me his family was extremely angry over some of the SAMPSON County/ROBESON County NC Cherokee members who chose to band with the LUMBEE instead of CHEROKEE over recognition/rights in the early 1900s.(Sampson & Robeson are side by side and reading the early Census in ORIGINAL PAGE ORDER, I discovered they were living very close.. I have recently discovered there was an official designation in the early 1900s of THE CHEROKEE INDIANS of ROBESON COUNTY, by the State of NC. Are there any known documents existing of these members?

Greetings! Courtesy of www.accessgenealogy.com we find the following: Tribe Last First Middle Age Sex Blood Card Roll Misc Type Cherokee Rogers Mary J 64 F IW 10010 NR ADAIR BB Cherokee Strickland Elizabeth 0 F 10010 P Cherokee Strickland Isaac 0 M 10010 P This shows Isaac and Elizabeth as Mary J. Rogers' parents. Mary J had originally applied under card D813 (Doubtful813), probably awaiting confirmation of her marriage to whichever Mr. Rogers she married. With there being no roll number on the regular census card, she may have died before a roll number was issued and an allotment could be given her. I do find a Mary J Rogers of the right age on the 1900 census in Cherokee Nation, pages 84 & 84b, Township 22, Supvr Dist 73, ED24, lines 20 and 1-2. Her husband is listed as David and they had been married 44 years, so she would have been eligible as Cherokee by Marriage unless no affidavit could be produced. If she was rejected, she would have been on an R card for the final disposition. Mary J. Rogers was shown as born in GA, both parents born in GA. Go here for the roll information on this family: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/i/c/James-R-Hicks-VA/BOOK-0001/0007-0026.html#IND2000REF17 Mary J.;s parents and possibly grandparents should be listed on the application. The Cherokee in this family did not come through her bloodline, though. This is the card for Jacob Strickland as father to Phirena Harris. Apparently his Elizabeth remarried, either after his death or divorce. They were also apparently doubtful in the beginning but were transferred to a regular card with provision of the appropriate documents. Phirena is apparently a corruption of Pyrine. This couple had no children. They are on the 1900 census in Cherokee Nation Township 13, Supvr Dist 73, ED41, page 293b, lines 19-20: Tribe Last First Middle Age Sex Blood Card Roll Misc Type Cherokee Connelly Elizabeth 0 F 2030 P Cherokee Harris James S 65 M 1/8 2030 5297 BB Cherokee Harris Phirena 60 F IW 2030 248 BB Cherokee Harris Susan 0 F 2030 P Cherokee Harris William 0 M 2030 P Cherokee Strickland Jacob 0 M 2030 P Hope that helps some, Blessings, Susan Reynolds
