3. Index:   Eastern Cherokee Applications,1909 Guion Miller Roll.  I have over two hundred claimants listed here. If you would like a copy of an application the instructions are posted on the page.  Our families submitted applications providing us with genealogical information about their Creek hertiage. This was a good lead for determining a relationship within our family. Each claimant stated full name, residence, age, place of birth, name of husband or wife, names of children, and information on parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. All of these refer to the application of John F. McGhee 1139. This Application states that there were several hundred people filing applications for distribution of the Eastern Cherokee fund. Most lived in the South Alabama and the Western Section of Florida. This group of people did not claim to be Cherokee. They knew they were Creek Indians descending from famous Creek's such as; Red Eagle, Peggy Bailey, William and Chilly McIntosh and Alexander McGillivray. All of these are of Creek origin. Some are recognized as members of the Creek tribe, while others are not. These not recognized do claim to be descendants of Creek ancestors. They had been told that they were entitled to share in this fund by claim agents and lawyers. The applications were "Rejected" because
it was a "Creek Case"
