Thank you Susan for the information. I do have the applications although sometimes they are not real clear. Someone remarked to me that they were Shawnee. I have a picture of Matilda, high cheekbones, looks native. Just wondered if there was more information out their. Matilda Vianna SANDUSKY SMITH mother was Mary Sloane Funderburk b-1811 Davidson County, Tennessee. Mary Sloane Funderburk mother was Mary Hannah Edde. Very little proof other than these applications.

They were all rejected because no connection with Cherokee Nation was demonstrated with no one on any roll. Interestingly every one of them claims their Indian name is Mary Funderburk - even Leroy - and their mother is also Mary Funderburk even though she is Matilda or Mary Elizabeth. In Matilda's application she was asked why neither her parents or grandparents were never enrolled said the family had only just found out about the payment to "relations" of the tribe. The information about the commission likely came from Priscilla who was the only one living in the IT. Mary Eveline's number was 45260 and her sister Keziah's 45261. Even though Keziah was married to a Blevins from Wayne, he did not appear to have applied. John Chambers Blevins looks like he is probably also the grandson of the Jonathan Blevins of Earleene's post, although I cannot verify that at the moment. I can send you copies of the applications, but it will be tomorrow night before I can convert them to PDFs. I did not download Maary Eveline Hurt's shildren's applications or check to see if there were any others for the other folks, but I can do that tomorrow, if you like. Happy time travels!
