M. W. McCarley et al., Chickasaws
M. W. McCarley and others applied for Chickasaw Nation enrollment in 1896, claiming descent from Nancy Frazier, a full-blood Chickasaw. Initially recognized by the Chickasaw Court of Claims, their enrollment was denied by the Chickasaw legislature and the Dawes Commission. A U.S. court ruling in 1898 granted them citizenship, but in 1902, the Citizenship Court overturned the decision. Later applications, including those for descendants, were denied due to lack of recognized tribal enrollment.
