Vital Information from the Guion Miller Roll: Eastern Cherokee Court of Claims, 1906-1909 (CD for PCs & MACs) by Billy Dubois Edgington and Carol Anne Buswell, M. A. In 1904 the Eastern Cherokees won a million dollar judgment against the U.S. because of its violations of the treaties of 1835-6 and 1845. The payments were to go to all living persons who had been members of the tribe at the time of the treaties, or to their descendants. The Miller files contain about 46,000 applications submitted by members of the tribe, or their descendants. Lists all applications alphabetically, and provides application numbers. Each entry gives the bir6th year, birth place, and residence-at application, maiden names when given, and the Soundex code for the person's surname. Sutton is one of the surnames on the list.
