We are excited to add (3/27/2008) the following,
which is a 94 page document of Boles genealogy with the research done by
exactly one person: our cousin, Charlie Royall (you may e-mail him @
cnroyall@wcc.net to tell him
Thanks!!). It's a great read, and you can follow the Andy Boles line
as follows:
James, Sr.; James, Jr.; Henry; and Andy.
His book is broken up into easy to read segments
with great sidenotes! Be sure to let him know how much you appreciate
his input! (You can "edit" "find"
16. HENRY
to get there more quickly.) The
formatting from rich text to html was not smooth, and we will continue to
work on grooming the document. Thanks Charlie Royall!!

BOLES/CADENHEAD
APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP, CHEROKEE NATION 1896
All persons named in
this application are members of one large extended family, related by blood
and marriage. This information was received from the National Archives in
Fort Worth, Texas. It consisted of 42 legal size photocopied pages of
documents relating to the applications and appeal of denied citizenship.
Denial was based on the fact that James Boles' name was not on one of the
official Cherokee Census rolls taken in 1835, 1848, 1851 or 1852 and that
James Boles never resided in Indian Territory.
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of Lawyers
Brief submitted at Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation, IT, August 1896.
Before the Honorable The
Dawes Commission sitting at Venita, IT in the hearing for Indian citizenship
in the Cases of: Levi C. Boles, J. Robert Boles, Minerva Elizabeth Boles,
John M. Stripling, Polly Ann Stripling, Isaac Caddenhead, Mary [Berry] Ann
Hightower, Tonie L. Anderson, Ellen O. Gilliland, W. R. Owen, Martha L.
Brown, Joe E. Caddenhead, Lem Caddenhead and Kittie Ross versus the Cherokee
Nation.
The claimants submitted
their 13 respective applications verified under oath and affidavits of the
following named witnesses in support of their claim: George Dread Water,
Watt Christie, T. J. Taylor, Doug Weber, John Ross. All witnesses were
recognized citizens of the Cherokee Nation.
The plaintiffs submitted
positive proof of Cherokee Indian blood through sworn affidavits and
testimony of witnesses known to be citizens of the Cherokee tribe. If the
names of his blood ancestors were not found on the census rolls, it is
because they probably hid from the Census takers fearing that census
enrollment would bring about their removal from their homes in North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. It is well know that a large
number (up to 2,000 individuals) evaded enrollment by hiding in the
mountains and forests. The brief cited other instances when tribal officials
and various government commissions granted citizenship to others whose
ancestors' names were not on the rolls. It pointed out that there were no
rules forbidding admission unless a blood ancestors' name is found on the
rolls of 1835, 1848, 1851 and 1852. That the claimants have submitted proof
positive of Cherokee Indian blood. That their petition was granted by a
previous Cherokee National Council without hesitancy and the previous
Principal Chief approved the act. Therefore the Dawes Commission should not
recede from the established precedents of the Cherokee Nation, should be
governed by the form of evidence submitted which is clearly within the
provisions of law of the US and should approve the citizenship applications.
Respectfully submitted by Rasmus and Ghormley, Attorneys for the Plaintiffs.
Before the Dawes
Commission, Cherokee Nation Response dated August 27, 1896.
Now comes respondent, S.
H. Mayes, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nations and demurs said
application on the grounds . . . that James Boles through whom the
petitioners claim to derive their right to citizenship is not now, and has
not been a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, since the removal of said Nation,
west to the IT as at present located and defined; that his name does not
appear on any of the authenticated rolls of said Nation; that neither he nor
any of his ancestors now reside, or ever have resided in the Cherokee Nation
and Indian Territory.

filed September 9, 1896.
