The Guion Miller Roll index includes the names of all persons applying for compensation arising from the judgment of the United States Court of Claims on May 28, 1906, for the Eastern Cherokee tribe. While numerous individuals applied, not all the claims were allowed. The information included on the index is the application number, the name of the applicant, and the State or Territory in which the individual resided at the time the application was filed. The name being there does not mean the person was admitted. You will need to order a copy of the application from the National Archives to determine that information.

Searching for information for my GG grandmother. I have a picture of her and she is American Indian. No doubt. We have been told she is Cherokee. Her name -Mary E. Routen (routon). born 1846-1847 in Kentucky.Married Andrew T. Madole, and seems to have lived in Potawatomi county (Burnett) oklahoma. Her siblings were born in MO, which makes me think they were traveling to oklahoma through KY and MO. I have not found her on any rolls. The story is her husband would not let her, and she is listed as white on the census. She had 15 children i believe, one of her sons , my G grandfather is James A. Madole, married Lula Potts , son Lucian E. Madole is my grandfather. I guess i could go to the Potawatomi county records? Just not sure where to go. Thank you.
I would like to know if I can be enrolled through my ancestors name and number?
Check with the tribe.
Awesome information, I just cant find mine. Henson I have so much history and many pointing to which GG parent was Cherokee, more G mothers suggested than g fathers. My line is Henson, Cash, McKinzie. I am stuck on Lazarus Henson as there are so many. 7 Henson bros married 7 Holder sisters, and apparently each one named a son Lazarus. Mine would include names Nancy Cash, 3rd g g mo. Sarah Black Mckinzie, 4th, Tennessee(Tennie) Smith 2nd. but cant tell which Laz is mine. We have followed trails from Tn to Ga and dates didnt match. But I do have land grants and citizenship, census, in Tn. In Ga the county lines were moved.. Interesting but I found a Philip Henson in Blount Co Al. in Google under Union Spies of the Confederacy, .His Fa was Indian agent in Tn. and all this is in Britanica…Is there any inquiries about any Hensons, Cash(Johnny Cash 3rd g g Mo also). I wold love to share info. My friend Gail Jenkins is author of most all info found.. Thank You for any sugg.

This is not information coming from the TRIBE. This is a Genealogical site, that is put the information here to help in your search. Most of these questions would need to be directed to the actual Tribe, not a Genealogy site. š
Hi! I’m researching my family history so I can learn about my lineage and culture. I’ve traced what I hope is a lot to the point of my family moving to FL. I was wondering if any Northern Cherrokkee members were known to move to IT in Florida.
Thank You!
Hello. My name is Barbara. I’ve been working on family tree and trying to get death records for the years 1860-1890 Benton County,Arkansas. Also, vital records for 1800-1860 Georgia and South Carolina. I’m not having any luck because the courthouses were destroyed by fires or tornado. My Mother is an Abercrombie and she’s always wanted to get her Indian card. So…I’ve been trying to help her. She’s 92 years old and the last original (kin folk says) of the Abercrombie clan from James and Mary Ann Abercrombie. Her 3 or 4x grandmother was full blood Cherokee on that side (which was her father’s side) and on her mother’s side, Esther (Easter) Stallcup Abercrombie was full blood Cherokee, which she was my Mother’s grandmother and my great grandmother. Hope all this is making sense. Anyway, if you have any ideas on how I can get these vital record, I would appreciate your input! Looking forward to hearing from you with good news! God bless and thank you!!!!!!

Check with the Mobile and Washington County Band of Choctaw Indians. They are descended from the Cherokee Nation and were one of the subject families of the Stevens v. Cherokee Nation Supreme Court decision in their favor in 1899 which struck the Indian Citizenship Courts and held that all Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes were effectively communal owners in all lands East and West of the Mississippi. Even though Citizenship in a particular “Nation” may be excluded by whichever constitution in question.
