    1. Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Indian Home Guard
    2. Judy White
    3. I know a few people read the information I put up yesterday on the Indian Home Guard, This information was done in 1868 and 1869. The tribes involved were Creek, Cherokee and a few Seminole. They started the Dawes roll in 1889 about 20 years after these bounty and pension payments were made. I have taken many of the names and checked them on the Dawes Roll and do find listings. Now I am not saying these are the same people, but it would be worth additional research. I am working to the rest of this book as it was suggested by the Department of Justice felt Mr. J. W, Wright was guilty of embezzlement. There is more information on how he used the money provided by the government and whether he paid all the claims or not. Hopefully I will get this information up this week. Thanks Judy
