    1. [INDIAN-TERRITORY-ROOTS] Requesting information about petitions of enrollment

    3. I have traced my ancestory back to Trader John Benge who was married to Warteh of the Red Paint Clan around 1861. A decendent of his Nepoleon Boneparte Thornton applied for enrollment along with several of his siblings on petition #4301. How do I find out the results of this petition? His Indian blood may have been through the Sarah Fielder side of the family or from a claim of Cherokee by marriage through John Benge. Any help out there for this?

    3. Do you know who Nepoleon Boneparte Thornton's parents were? I am working on the (Cherokee) Thornton line and hopefully we can connect our Thornton's?

As a result, the entire file was forwarded to the commission. I did not find a copy of the original application in my collection, but you may find it at the Ft Worth Branch of the National Archives.
