Could someone tell me where Bayou Menard was located in the Cherokee Nation, I.T. It was mentioned in a newspaper article of 1843 and none of the geographic sites that I searched listed it. Thanks for any help. Sherry

Marye said: <snip> "I remember my mother mentioning that we (our family) was not on the Dawes rolls, but on the Miller rolls. I think not enlisting on the Dawes rolls was out pride and of fear of loss of property. " Marye, I think as you trace the family you will reconsider the reasons for not being on the 1902 Dawes Roll. Contrary to "the fear of LOSING property"-- the Dawes Roll was the method used to assigned individual title to the land to the legal tribal members. Until then, title to the land was vested solely to the tribe. The resident/citizens of the tribe could use as much of their tribal land as they needed, and this is where the inequity started! Some of the non-Indians who came into the Nation and married Indian women AND some of the more aggressive mixed-bloods started claiming hundreds upon hundreds of acres - FAR more than they needed. The non-Indians would then import their non-Indian relatives from other states, "rent" land to them for $5. per year. They were creating their own little dynasties in Indian Territory! Soon there was no useable farmland left for the Indians. The Dawes roll ended that! The land was evaluated and graded, then each legal citizen was enrolled and allotted an EQUAL value/amount of land, according to the grade. If it was bottom land, then they would get less land. If it was rocky hill country, then they were given more acreage. The average allotment in the Cherokee Nation was 120 acres for each citizen- man, woman and child. If your family was legal resident/citizens, living on their own "improvements" to the land and were otherwise eligible, CHOOSING not to enroll would mean that the houses that they had built and the land that they had improved would be reassigned to an Indian family, and they would lose all rights to it. I think as you research further you will find that there were other reasons why they were not on the Dawes Roll. Regards Jerri Chasteen ~~~

Hello: I am a first-time poster to the list. I have been enjoying the exchange of info so far and hope that someone is also researching the surnames that I am. I would be willing to share whatever information I have. I am searching for information on Jeanetta Gee and William Herstine/Hurston. I am totally at a standstill on the Herstine family. I know there are many spellings for it and I am using this one. Jeanetta and William Herstine had a daughter born about 1898-1900. During this time, 1898-1900, they were supposedly around the Sequoyah County area of IT. Is anyone researching these families or have any information that would be of help? Thank you, Ida Mae

Does anyone know of Cason , Ward, or Winslett in Indian Territory 1827- early 1900. I am looking for relatives in all of those lines.

<snip> I am seeking information on Alice Lion, born in Oklahoma, Cherokee by blood, children, Ernest Eddington born March 3, 1886, Ralph Eddington, Glen Eddington, Orville Eddington, Carrie Eddington. Barbara ~~ Barbara- The persons you listed are not shown on the "Cherokee By Blood" Dawes Roll of 1902. I would check the 1900 census of Indian Territory to see exactly who and what they were. That was a specific question asked in 1900 and 1910: "Is there any person of Native American blood residing in this household?- What tribe/degree of Indian blood? What tribe (each parent) and degree of Indian blood?", plus MUCH more vital genealogical information as to where they and their parents were born, month/year of birth, how many times married, how many years married to this spouse, how many children born to this mother (caution: not necessarily children of THIS husband). This census IS NOT on Internet, but can be ordered on microfilm through your own public or LDS library. The census has an index- called a "Soundex" (indexed by the sound of name) in order to find out exactly where they were residing, so that you can order the correct roll of microfilm. Regards jc

Hi Helen: I don't have the information you are seeking, however, the coincidence is that I'm reading a book that you would find most fascinating. I got the book from the public library, "Cherokee Cavaliers" written by Edward Everett Dale and Gaston Litton. This book is made up of the letters written by the Ridge-Watie-Boudinot family and cover about 40 years starting in 1832 and ending in 1872. Many of the people you have mentioned in your inquiry have either written the letter or are mentioned in the letters. How wonderful for you to be able to read about their lives. Good luck in your search. Mary Lou Rosson MRosson178@aol.com
