REJECTED
	Joseph Elliot from whom the families named above descended was 
recognized so far as be allowed a reservation near Parkinsville, 
Alabama.  He claimed that he was half Indian and seems to have enjoyed 
many if not all of benefits according to the Cherokee Nation under the 
Treaty with the Government of the United States , from the best account 
of the history of the family, that I was able to procure their claims 
were always disputed. -  I can find nothing to show that the authorities
 of the Cherokee Nation has ever recognized them. , and several persons 
of good character and intelligence, were inclined to believe that the 
Cherokees declined receiving them into the Nation.  I found no other 
Natives who believe that the Elliotts are Cherokee, in appearances I did 
not think that they had the features of the Indians, thought their 
complexion is sufficiently dark.

REJECTED
	The foregoing persons descendants of William Carter claim to have 
Cherokee Blood from his wife Rebecca. I learned from a good source that 
Rebecca Carter never claimed that she was any part Indian but that she 
was in her lifetime in the habit of denying it.  She was said to be part 
Catawba so that none of the ancestors were ever recognized as Cherokee, 
what I can learn.  But in some way Woody Russell�s family emigrated to 
Arkansas as Cherokees.  They returned to Haywood County, North Carolina 
where they now reside.  In inquired of a large company of old Cherokee 
men who have know Mr. Russell family.  It seems to be their opinion 
decidedly that they are not Cherokees.  This seems to be the prevailing 
opinion with person whose opportunities for knowing thefacts best.  The 
affidavits of the Cherokee Indians were forwarded to me after I left 
Haywood which declare was a Cherokee.  See paper marked Russell and 
Carter, I have no confidence in the declaration of a Cherokee made 
without proper examination and though an interpreter interested in 
the statements.  The Children of these families were reported to me 
by the heads of the families.

Families 24-28 were REJECTED but this statement was given.
	These families of John Fields, Sarah Fields, Margaret Still,
 Mary Evans with the orphan boy John Still could produce no facts 
to show their Indian blood.  I cam to the conclusion that they were 
mixed with some other races afterwards, Dr. J. L. Yarnell informed me 
that they are Cherokees.  He gives no account of the history of the 
family except Sarah Fields is the widow of George Fields and that 
Mary Evans was the wife of George Still.  Dr. Yarnell is highly 
recommended.

have hitherto enjoyed the benefits of the Treaty.

Katie Jordan		30	
(Lives in Cherokee County, North Carolina)
REJECTED
	I understand that this woman is an illegitimate daughter of a

as a Cherokee so far as to receive pay for removal and substance , I 
learned she has children but she did not furnish me with their names.

NO.83
Celia Parris		41
Sarah Saunders		48
Christina Martin	45
Nelly Martin		67
REJECTED
	These women met me at Mr. Lewis Blackburn�s in Cherokee County, 
Georgia and stated that they had been wives of Cherokee Indians and 
have large families of Cherokee children.  They were well known to 
Mr. Lewis Blackburn and to Mr. Daniel Davis, both men of undoubted 
veracity, they inform me that Nelly Martin�s real name is Nelly Moton. 
That the real name of Celia Parris is  Celia Gravitt- That Sarah 
Saunders is really named Sarah Tidwell and that they never were 
married to Cherokees.  They are white women who obtained some 
benefits of the treaty from having taken up for a short time 
with the Cherokees whose names they bear.  As to Christina Martin, 
she claims to be the wife of William Martin, a native, I afterwards 
saw this same William Martin and he informs me  that the woman was 
never his wife and denies that the children were his- he is the 
husband of another woman.  See Family NO. 14 Lumpkin County, Georgia.  
These facts are so well established by a umber of persons that I do 
not deem it my duty to enroll the names of the children that the 
women claim

NO.84

Nancy Richardson	28	d
Noah Jordan		21	s

	The for last named person are the children of Annice Jordan 
whose name is written over theirs.  The two last live in Lumpkin County, 
Georgia, the others live in Cherokee County, Georgia, they claim Cherokee 
blood for themselves and a great number of children.  They produce not 
the slightest degree of proof.  From her own account Annice Jordan 
was raised more than three hundred miles from the nearest point of 
the Cherokee County and does not know any one who can state that she 
is of Cherokee descent.

NO.85
Samuel Thomas		46

Sir:
The foregoing statement exhibits the names of such persons as I am required 
to mention the circumstances under which they come to my knowledge and to 
which an ______ is designed to accompany- I have heard of a few other 
families residing out of the County formerly occupied by the Cherokees 
and have instituted inquiries by which I hoped to have been able to give 
their names and number with some degree of accuracy.  I have received 
no answers however to this day, any further information that I may 
obtain will be placed in your  hands without delay.

Sir:
	I had the honor on ______ to make a statement to you of the names 
of such persons as claim Cherokee blood; Since that time Mr. John Many 
writes me from Madison County, North Carolina and stated that he is a 
Cherokee and that he has the following named descendants living in his 
immediate neighborhood.
Polly C Many		d
James Many		s
Kessiah Many		d
Nancy Many		d
William Many		s
Lucinda Many		d

No. 3
John L Many

NO.4
Sally Halcum
(Daughter of John Many)
John A Halcum 		s
Polly L Halcum		d
Fanny Halcum		d
James H Halcum		s
Mira L Halcum		d
	I have no positive proof to establish the claims of the Many Family. 
 James Many the only one of the family that presented himself for 
enrollment referred to the Office of Indian Affairs stated that the 
proof was there on file and that the family had hitherto enjoyed the 
benefits of the treaty.  The rights of John Many and his brother James 
with their numerous descents depends in my mind entirely of the 
connection of this statement.  They have given me no satisfactory proof.
	I will mention here that last summer when I was in Hamilton 
County, Tennessee certain persons were mentioned to me by several 
gentlemen who were acquainted with them as being Cherokees.  It seems 
that they were at this time in the act of removing from the place where 
they had formerly resided and no on that I met could inform me as to 
their place of destination.  I have asked Mr. John Cowert, a man of 
undoubted integrity to address me a letter so soon as he should name 
number and place of residence.  Since my arrival in Washington I 
receive from him the following statement:

NO.1
Sally Hail
(Formerly Sally Becknell a full blood Cherokee, lives at Chattanooga, 
Tennessee)
Michael Hail
George Hail

NO.2
George W Hail
(Lives in Mayes County, Tennessee)
Elizabeth Hail

NO.3

NO.4
William Becknell

Cathlene Becknell
Thurro Becknell
Therzey Becknell
Caroline M Becknell
	Besides these there is Cherokee boy in Mars County, Alabama 
whom information I could not obtain.  Indeed these people are so 
scattered since the breaking up of the Nation that I do not flatter 
myself with the belief that with all the names I have take their names 
have been ascertained and reported in the course of four months, I 
think however that very few indeed have been omitted is there are any.
