I actually did request and receive Asa's application for Indian Funds (No. 44457). It
was rejected because he was "Granduncle of 15148 and brother of 15220 and claims
through same source and in addition his application was filed to (sic) late." The
other numbers referenced are for Wilce Evans and Alantha Chambers Dover (Wilce's
grandmother), respectively. I have a copy of a copy of both their applications which are
difficult to read but, according to publications on applications for Indian funds in our
local geneaology room, were also denied.
I, too, think we have a lot of Cherokee blood in the Chambers family for no other reason
than that the pictures of a lot of my ancestors have many Native American facial features.
And, of course, all the stories I've heard all my life.
