Robert Goins, Choctaw

Robert Goins and 99 others, descendants of Jeremiah Goins, a mixed-blood Choctaw, sought enrollment as Choctaws by blood in 1896. Despite strong evidence, including the presence of family members on the 1874 Kiamitia County census roll, their application was denied. A U.S. court admitted them in 1897, but this ruling was overturned by the Choctaw-Chickasaw Citizenship Court in 1902. The case was retried in 1904, but with no new testimony, the claimants were denied enrollment. Later applications for their children were also rejected.
