I have never had a problem with finding Dawes information. Someone has done something really stupid I think. Did you try the Guion Miller rolls?? Did you try the local LDS fam hist center and look at their catalog? I have read the Dawes and the applications and other information. Never heard such a ridiculous story and I have been researching since 1977. I worse come to worse, I can rent the index; see if her name is on it for you. By the way, she would be under whatever her married name was. Did you look for her under Buchanan? Also, are we talking Creek? Sandy
