Hi Everyone, Jim Hicks compliled these for your use with the surname reports. GB07 = Gideon Blackburn's school 1806-1807 (Student roster) SPMS = Spring Place Mission School (Student rosters) NSPMS = New Spring Place Mission School (SPMS restablished in the Western Territory after removal. Student rosters) DET# = Detachment number (from various muster rolls, payroll records and ration receipts; which Detachment did they go west on) IHG = Indian Home Guard (Civil war muster rolls) N-Cher = Native Cherokee (1880 & 1890 Census used the following codes: N-Cher Native Cherokee A-White Adopted White A-Del Adopted Delaware A-Shaw Adopted Shawnee A-Col Adopted Colored etc. SB district = Skin Bayou District, CNW (in 1851 this was changed to Sequoyah District) Roll B: Cherokee that emigrated to the western territory after the 1851 Drennen were simply accepted into the Cherokee Nation. Around 1869 the western Cherokee Nation decided to require citizenship application before a committee. "Roll B", and there's a "Roll A" are lists of groups of emigrants that came west after 1851 (these lists were prepared in 1873) but they didn't include ALL of the emigrants, just those that weren't already recognized as Cherokee by 1869. I've found two more such "Roll"s, much smaller, from 1881 and 1883.

Jim Hicks has worked a lot with the Cherokee by Blood transcriptions and says there are errors. 1906 Dawes Freedmen Minors Same as above. Now I suggest that any of you who are using these names in your family geneology, MUST and SHOULD refer to 3 books, that I know can be bought cheaply, for this FREEDMEN RESEARCH. Those books are: <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0963377418/ref%3Dase%5Finktomi-bkasin-20/103-1786970-6501417">Cherokee Roots, Volume 1: Eastern Cherokee Rolls</A> and VOL 2 also.( you can buy cheaply in a set), by Bob Blankenship A reader, East Texas, USA, April 9, 2001 This set is a MUST have for those tracing your Cherokee root This set contains the Official US Census Rolls of Cherokee Indians recorded between 1817-1924.

I'm still looking for my Myers and Harris ancestors and here is what I'm looking for, if anyone can help. My grandma Sybil Pauline Vaughan married Irvin Lee Myers sometime before 1929. He was born on Jan. 27, 1905 in the little town of Marble in Madison County, Arkansas. He was the youngest child of William Sim Myers and Sophornia Belle (Harris) Myers. His parents have driven me crazy for years in my research. They had a fairly large family, but apparently never told anyone about their ancestry. I guess I was the first descendant that began looking for them. William Sim Myers was born in October of 1861, somewhere in Indiana. All I know of his parents is that his father was listed on entries in the censuses (William's entries on censuses where there is a field for where your parents were born) as being born either in Georgia, Tennessee or Indiana. His mother's listed place of birth was either TN or IN. I have no names, no birth locations, nothing. Sophornia Belle Harris was born in August of 1861 in Arkansas, and her parents were listed as being born in Tennessee. Yo! u'd expect to have trouble trying to locate a William Myers in the heavy German population of Indiana, but I thought that an unusual name like Sophornia would be easy to find in Arkansas in the Civil and post-Civil War days. Boy was I wrong. I've seen a surprising number of Sophornia Harris-es in NW Arkansas. Her weird name has made it even more complicated, as sometimes you find alternate spellings, such as Sofornia or Sophie. From census records, they were married either in 1880 or 1884 (the 1900 census states 1880, the 1910 states 1884). They first show up in Big Creek Township, Fulton County, Arkansas in 1900. He is listed as Sim Myers (also have seen Simmie and William S. as his listings, and I used to think his second name was Simon, but I now think it is just Sim). If they were married for 20 years in 1900, that would be 1880 and the census shows they had 10 children, six who were alive in 1900, and my grandpa Irvin hadn't yet arrived. Anyway, all their children were born in Arkansas, so I strongly suspect that as Sophornia was born there too, that she and Irvin were married in Arkansas about 1879 or 1880. Of course I couldn't find any marriage records. By 1910 they had moved west to Marble, Madison County, Arkansas, where my grandpa was born in 1905. Sometime between 1910 and 1920, Sophornia died, as on the 1920 Madison County census, Irvin Lee was living with his widowed father, William S., still in Marble. I don't know when Sophronia died or where, though it was probably Madison County. William S. died sometime after 1920, but I don't know when or where he and Sophornia are buried. There apparently are no death certificates for them, as I've looked. I only found Sophornia's middle and maiden name from my grandpa's Social Security application file. I have no clue who William Sim's parents were, though I imagine they, or at least he, was in AR. by 1880 when he married Sophornia. I've looked in every place I can find and through numerous books. I've looked in Fulton, Marion, Lawrence, Madison, Washington, Benton, Newton and Carroll Counties in AR., but have yet to find him or his parents. The only thing I know for sure is that he was born in Indiana in October of 1861 and by at least 1888 he was in AR, when his daughter Myrtle was born. They show up on censuses as Myers and Mires. I do have a photo of William and Sophornia. He was blond and she was pale skinned but with very dark hair and eyes. Now I've had a bit more luck with Sophornia. One strong possibility for her father is a Isaac N. Harris, who lived in St. Genevieve County, Missouri in 1950, then in Lawrence County, AR in 1860 and in Union Township, Marion County in 1870 and 1880. All close to Fulton County, AR. Isaac and his wife Elizabeth had a Sophornia as a daughter, born in 1861 according to two census and 1869 in another, which I think was wrong. Both Issac and Elizabeth Harris were born in Tennessee, so that too fits. On the 1880 census, Sophornia is living with her widowed father. Once source has her marrying a Wiley D. Bailey after 1881, but I have found another record that shows Wiley marrying a different girl in 1884. She is shown listed as "Frona" as a nickname, which is close to "Fronie" which some cousins claimed she went by. Some of Issac's other children named their daughter's Belle as either a first or middle name which shows the name was used in the family. So I think Sophronia i! s the daughter of Issac, but I have yet to find any proof. I'd love to find a will to find out. The problem is, if she shows up in the 1880 census living with her father, then she either had to have married William Sim. later that same year, or else this is a different girl. Also, I've had trouble finding a Myers in or around Marion County, Arkansas in 1880. If William Sim married her, he'd have to have been living nearby, I'd think. Does anyone have any Harris information on this line? Eddie Davis ecdavis@atlascomm.net

Hi there I am looking for any information on CHRISTINA HARRIS nee MCRAE who lived at 303 1/2 Wyoming Street, Syracuse, New York. Her husband was E. L. HARRIS. In 1941 she wrote a letter to Miss Marion McRae, Apple Hill, Ontario. Care of J. D McRae, 13 th. Concession, Kenyon Township mentioning her uncle John Alexander McRae of Berkeley California who is on the tree below born abt. 1853. Thus Christina would be daughter of one of John Alexander McRae's siblings. But which one? I am descended from Archibald's brother Findlay McRae .

In a message dated 7/24/02 2:02:04 PM Pacific Daylight Time, HARRIS-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: << Dear List: I'm Trying to find JOHN HARRIS in AZ abt 1930...likely later...as no subjects of interest were noted in the 1930 census. Married Susanna (FERKO/TERKO) DENZIEN, her second marriage. Her maiden name is found in either form on various records throughout her life. She had a 10 year old son. I know John Harris only because his name appears in my Baby Book. Two words "John Harris" that is all. Simple counting suggests he was of marrying age and as Grandmother was abt 37 I guess he is about the same age. Family lore says Mother and son came west to Arizona. Her death certificate indicates she died in 1937. Update: The Death Certificate indicates she was a widow. I am pursuing this avenue In order to locate a marriage certificate and other records bearing his name. Naturally, I need the county before I can procure any records. Sincerely, Victor >>
