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.

Demurrer and Answer filed September 9, 1896.
