Subject: Re: information please...Cherokee-Sarah Davis From: Elsie Swilley, Date: April 05, 2000 Shirty, I am glad we found your Sarah. I am afraid this book is only a list and gives no info about the person other than what I sent. In the back it does say a Court of Claims suit resulted in Eastern Cherokees living either east or west of the Mississippi receiving monetary awards.This was a result of various treaty violations. In order to participate, a person had to be alive On May 28, 1906 and establish themselves as a member of the Eastern Cherokee, or a decendant of , at the time of the violations.Mr.Guion Miller made a list in 1909 of those who qualified. The book says if you find an ancestor on the Guion Miller Roll 1909, you will find a tremendous amount of info.It says the list is detailed and contains copies of the actual applications which go back to the mid and early 1800's. I don't know where there is a copy of this roll, but some library probably has it. Maybe someone else can help us. The book I own was purchased at a State Park gift shop.
