3. Eastern Cherokee Applications--1909 Guion Miller Roll. I have over 200 Applications listed here. The claimants information is 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 the claimants 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. Most of the applicant's claim only through the Hollinger, McGhee, McIntosh, Moniac, McGillivray, Franklin or Killiam families. All of these are of Ceek 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. The applications were Rejected because it was a Creek Case. If you would like to request a copy of an Application - Click Here For Mailing Instructions.

4. Creek Indian and Judson Cemetery:
Partial listing of the Indian Cemetery, Poarch Alabama.
History of the area: Judson Church is still in operation today with an Indian and non-Indian cemetery next to each other, and the many
grave markers of the Poarch Creek Indians interred there from the late nineteenth century attest to continuous existence of the community.
