CHEROKEE BY BLOOD Records of Eastern Cherokee Ancestry in the U.S. Court of Claims 1906-1910 This is a set of 9 books (I have the first 2). "In 1904 the Eastern Cherokee won a million-dollar judgement against the U.S. because of its violation of the treaties of 1835-36 and 1845. The payments were to go to all living persons who had been members of the Eastern Cherokee tribe at the time of the treaties, or to their descendants if they were deceased. Over 46,000 people filed claims. This series of volumns presents detailed abstracts of those applications, including numerous verbatim transcriptions of affidavits by the applicants, their families and friends. Since most of the applicants were descendants, rather than original tribe members, and had to prove their descent, the quantity of genealogical data in these volumns is staggering. About 9/10 of the applicants lived west of the Mississippi (probably because of The Trail of Tears [my comment]) in the early 1900's when they made their applications, with the balance living predominantly in the southeast. Although the applicants had to had Indian ancestry, the majority were normally white, and a significant number of blacks are also included." I hope to eventually get all 9 volumns and if you want a name researched, let me know, if you are interested in purchasing these books, go to www.heritagebooks.com - the cost is about 40. per book. delilah evans/avans Nunahi Duna Dio Hilu I We Must Never Forget the "Trail of Tears".

Delilah, I would very much appreciate it if you would look to see if there were any Robinsons listed in your book. Thank you for your time and consideration.
