Hi Everyone,
Anyone who would like to have there FREEDMEN family member honered, please
fill out the following form, and it will be submitted to those working on the
project.
You will have to fill in as many answers as possible, as it will affect the
report we send back to you.
FROM THE FREEDMEN PROJECT:
What we want is to compile a list of Freedmen that would have been on the
1838 Removal.
Jerry Clark tells me,he's hoping to match the surnames they used with their
owners
during the Removal period and possibly from there to their wills.
If this could be done then we could compile a list of some Freedmen families
on the Removal and hopefully then connect them to their later claims and
descendants and include them in the honorariums to those individuals.
NOTE: I have supplied many of you with names and family application numbers.
In reguards to your Freedmen family member. We are now in the process of
compiling names for those ancesters that "you want to be remembered."
You must list that family members name and application number as well as how
it connects up to your geneology. All surnames are needed for the applicant,
you are requesting to be considered for the "honorariums."
All personal information will be confidental and submitted to those in
Washington who are working on the "honerariums"
Each name requires a seperate form.
As you can see from Jims words above in blue, we are looking to find all the
names of those family members who were involved in the 1838 REMOVAL to Indian
Territory.
You must show your family members line back to the 1838 removal and were they
were located at that time.
Many of your family members may not have went to Indian Territory or just
didn't give their name. But if you know who they are, and want them included
in the HONORARIUMS, we need to show how your line goes back to that FREEDMEN.
Your source material must be included.
Those who cannot show direct desent will also be notified, to either update
the application info or the request form will be disguarded.

Roll B: Cherokee that emigrated to the western territory after the 1851
Drennen were simply accepted into the Cherokee Nation.
Around 1869 the western Cherokee Nation decided to require citizenship
application before a committee. "Roll B", and there's a
"Roll A" are lists of groups of emigrants that came west after 1851 (these
lists were prepared in 1873) but they didn't include ALL
of the emigrants, just those that weren't already recognized as Cherokee by
1869. I've found two more such "Roll"s, much smaller,
from 1881 and 1883.
