Source: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Chero-Culture] Fw: Book Index This came to another list I'm on...I know nothing else about it. Found it interesting, especially since several of my surnames are on it. :) Alli Volunteer Soldiers in the Cherokee War 1836-1839 Mountain Press, 1995 Soft cover, copyright 1995, 8.5" x 11", Index, 206 pages. A listing of over 11,000 volunteers from Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama who signed on for the Removal program of the Cherokee Indians to their western homes. This listing includes women for the first time. This alphabetical listing shows names, rank, state and unit in which they served. According to the publisher: "The enclosed material is an alphabetical listing of the volunteer soldiers who served during the Cherokee disturbances or removal which has come to be known as the Cherokee Wars - 1836 - 1839. We have reproduced and made into one single listing four different rolls of film listing those soldiers from North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. "These are listings found in the Adjutant General's Office files of Compiled Service Records of the soldiers listed in Group 94 of the records. The original records were filed under the muster rolls of each unit and these have been carefully checked and made into individual flies and listed alphabetically in the National Archives. For those soldiers who were in the regular Army, their records will be listed In the Registers of Enlistment's found in files M-233. "For many of these men, there are additional files in the National Archives as pensions and Bounty Land Warrants were issued to many of these men as per their or their widow's request. Those records may be obtained in the normal manner as other military service records. "In our listing, we have included the information as found on the jacket envelope listed for each man. This gives only his name, rank, unit and they are microfilmed under the state headings for their units. We have added this latter information implied from the reel heading and not found on each envelope. "One very interesting item in these records are the listings of three women all found in Lindsay's Georgia Mounted Militia. They are given the rank of "matron". These are Rebecca Greer, Mary Smith and Polly Wright. If these were given pension credit, we cannot say." Partial List of Surnames: ... McBee ...
