Some wouldn't sign because they had been lied to so many times by the whites. Some states like Mo. were concidered US citizens. My GGGrandmother was full blooded Indian and am having trouble finding her. She had the name of Mary Margaret Lilly. She married William Sterner in Pa. Her daughter married a Burkhead and their daughter,my grandmother, married a Dunn. His ancestors came from Ireland. Diane of Illinois
