Muster Roll

Cherokee Muster Rolls, 1835 – 1838

1830 Map of Cherokee Territory in Georgia

The Cherokee Muster Rolls of 1835-1838 document the forced relocation of the Cherokee people during the Trail of Tears. These rolls list families who were moved west, including those who left voluntarily, were rounded up by military forces, or migrated under Cherokee leadership. They offer crucial genealogical information for descendants of Cherokee individuals from the southeastern U.S., particularly those connected to the Cherokee Nation and the Eastern Band. These records, like the 1835 Henderson Roll and various muster rolls, are important for researchers tracking Cherokee ancestry during this difficult chapter in American history.

1834 Cherokee Muster Roll

1834 Cherokee Muster Roll - page 1

The 1834 Cherokee Muster Roll documents Cherokee Indians who emigrated westward under J. A. Harris before the 1835 Henderson Roll. It includes 216 Heads of Families among the 903 individuals who traveled, noting that some returned east due to conditions. Births and deaths occurred along the journey, and family members were not always together. Each family was provided with supplies. If your ancestor is missing from the Henderson Roll, this muster roll may hold their name.

1838 Cherokee Muster Roll 1

The muster roll details the arrival of Lt. Deas and a large group of Cherokees to the West on May 1, 1838. While most were in the Northern Georgia area, some like William Davis and Robert Brown were from Alabama, and others like the Timberlake’s were from Tennessee.

1838 Cherokee Muster Roll 2

The 1838 muster roll documents the journey of 1,072 Georgia Cherokees from Rosses Landing to Indian Territory, culminating with 635 survivors arriving on September 7, 1838. The official count recorded on July 23 noted 763 individuals, accounting for 144 deaths, 289 desertions, and 2 births along the Trail of Tears. The detailed enumeration lists 91 family groups, suggesting many of the missing were likely enslaved individuals whose descendants later became Cherokee freedmen.
