Yes, I got that part , but the bounty lands I have seen record of just specified for military. (nothing I saw mentioned that this land or reserve "was for what we took away before" and this is a token replacement... One bounty record that I did see was for the widow of "Timpoochee" a.k.a. english name John Barnard. This bounty was for "Scar-Chee", widow of Timpoochee. He was in the (forgive my historical..) "Creek Wars" of 1812-14, and she said he died summer of 1835. I recall there was more Creek war (1835??) and 36. Anyway , what I saw was the application in the early '1850s'. Would sure like to know if he died in battle... Timpoochee , I may be related to and have researched him much. He was 1/2 english and mother full Euchee. I found another Euchee woman in Creek County, OK, in family history book , said that Timpoochee was her ggrandfather and "fire chief " "back east before the removals. Timpoochee was born about 1777 , son of englishman Timothy Barnard , who set up trade post Flint River , GA, (on Euchee land). Timpoochee led 100 Euchee at the battle of Horshoe Bend (against the Redsticks..????) and saved the man whoose face is printed on the american $20 bill (currently) and responsible for taking a large part getting the natives removed from the east to the west.
