Silas Sharp, Mississippi Choctaw

The case of Silas Sharp et al. involves multiple applications for citizenship in the Choctaw Nation, based on descent from John and Nancy Moore, Mississippi Choctaws. Between 1896 and 1902, numerous family members—including Sharp, Moore, and Quaid descendants—petitioned the Dawes Commission, asserting their rights under the Treaty of 1830. Despite affidavits and testimonies confirming their Choctaw ancestry, their claims were repeatedly denied due to a lack of documented compliance with the treaty’s provisions. Legal appeals continued until 1909, but the U.S. Department of the Interior upheld previous rulings, ultimately excluding them from Choctaw citizenship rolls.
