There were 4 Chaney (Mattie L - Tx, John - OK, Minerva - TN, Tener - FLA)
on the Miller Cherokee Roll (Rejected). I assume some are on the
accepted roll, but I do not have it. There were many people falsely
rejected. Their applications, rejected or not, state their ancestry and
why they feel they were of Cherokee descent.
The table of contents of a new academic study of the roll is at

The site also has on-line the surname index of "Starr's Old Cherokee
Families and Their Genealogy," a Cherokee Genealogy Tutorial which is a
great primer on how to do effective Indian genealogy research, the 1835
Cherokee census which is within the tutorial, other indexes, and a Native
American CD which appears to contain huge amounts of Native American
genealogical material. Very fascinating.
