Native American Genealogy
Only The Names Remain, Volume 4: Goingsnake District - Sandi Garrett. This
volume,
linking the Drennen Roll and the Guion Miller Applications, is a valuable
addition to the
growing body of genealogical works devoted to researching Cherokee ancestry.
Article 9
of the Treaty of August 8, 1846, between the United States government and
the Cherokee
Nation called for "a fair and just settlement of all moneys due the
Cherokees under the
Treaty of 1835." The Drennen Roll was compiled in 1851 to determine
eligibility to receive
settlement payments for persons claiming membership in the Cherokee Nation
at the time
of its forced removal from the Cherokee Nation East. This roll was in turn
used by the
United States government in the early 1900s to determine the eligibility of
the Guion Miller
Roll Applications which, like the Drennen Roll, concerned settlement
payments to the
Cherokee.
At the time of the Drennen Roll, in 1851, most of the Cherokees did not have
a white
name and many did not have a last name. Surnames came about during the Civil
War or
when a census taker assigned a white name. Frequently, there were name
changes
between the Drennen Roll and the Guion Miller Applications (taken from
1906-1910). This
text lists the names of all family groups and family members living in the
Goingsnake
District of Oklahoma recorded in the Drennen Roll, cross-referenced with the
names and
application numbers of relatives who later filed Guion Miller
Applications-abbreviations
note the relationships between applicants. A comprehensive index of full
names enhances
this work. (1993) reprint, 92 pp., 8.5x11, maps, fullname index, paper,
$17.00, #G1727

Pre-Publication Price until March 31, 2001: $13.60
