The Texas Cherokee 1820-1830

Between 1812 and 1836, the Texas Cherokee Nation faced significant challenges as they settled in Texas after migrating from Arkansas. Led by Chief John Bowles, they sought peace, gaining recognition as Mexican citizens. However, rising tensions with the Republic of Texas culminated in their expulsion in 1839. Despite earlier treaties affirming their land rights, the government adopted destructive policies against them, ultimately leading to conflict. This tragic history underscores the complexities of their struggle for land and sovereignty, mirroring broader themes of displacement and conflict in American history.

Two years later, only one hundred church members were returned as residents in the Vershire Circuit, then including the whole of eastern Vermont.
