I've been looking for years for my Wilsons on the Indian Rolls. Cant find them. I know one of them was collecting monies on Indian lands in Tennesee in the early 1920/30? I was told the person would have to be enrolled in the tribe to collect monies. Are there records of these kinds of transactions anywhere? The story is that we have Cherokee background, but I dont know that for sure. From that area of TN it could be Chickasaw/Choctaw.
