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. All persons named in this are
all members of one extended family and the report proves thier
lineage and relationship to each other.

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.
