The City of Muskogee and a good portion of what is now Muskogee County was in the Creek Nation, not the Cherokee Nation. The portion of Muskogee County that was Cherokee Nation was in the Candian District. The Cherokee Census of 1880 has information that varies among the schedules but generally includes the individual's name, nativity, occupation, age, sex, agricultural information, and is cross-referenced to the Dawes Roll. Schedule 1-includes Cherokee Citizens, including Native, Adopted White, Shawnees, Delawares and Freedmen. Schedule 2-Orpahns Schedule 3-Rejected Claimants Schedule 4-Individuals whose claims to citizenship were pending Schedule 5-Intruders Schedule 6-Individuals living in the Cherokee Nation under permit Sue Tolbert, Muskogee

My computer has been down all day, so I am sure that I missed a posting or two. Who are you looking for in Muskogee County? Even though I do not live there, I have lots of family from there, and I have done quite a lot of research in Muskogee County. I also have three wonderful books, Dawes Roll Plus, and Cherokee Roots Vols 1 & 2. I also belong to Ancestry.Com and I have the Online Census Records. If I can be of any help, please feel free to let me know. I will be more than happy to help with any lookups that I can.

Sue where can I get a copy of Schedules 5 and 6? Does this also hold true for the 1890 Indian Territory Census? Thank you for your help. Ms. Cecil V.
