<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
