Family Tree
I need you to put in a MS Word document named
Family Tree (your name) and send it to me

your spouse, or children, grand children &
greatgrands please.

or excluded from a list to be submitted at anytime
for any reason. Your privacy is important to us!
We currently will submit one list for the Strother Society.
Note: There are several different spellings for
each of the last names in our families.
I am working to complete tree from Strother,
Dent, DeVore, Wilson, Farrow, McDaniel,
Austin, Barnes & Jefferson sides.
I have tried to name the oldest family member surname.
Let me know if you need a different one.
Native American Status:
We have submittedApplications for Cherokee & Choctaw Tribal Enrollment!
Some of the other Native American Tribes in
our family are Chocktaw, Seminole,
Maripoma & Pima
Yes we do have documented Native American Ancestry!
After years of research, we have found the family
line of Ann Jones
She is the Child of Lulu Whitehunt & John Wilson Jones
Born in 1837 in North Carolina.
We did meet the criteria for membership or
Enrollment requirements
of the Eastern Cherokee Nation but
Sonny DeVorehad been removed from the rolls.
Check back there have been recent court cases won!
There are 3 branches:
Eastern Cherokee in North Carolina
1. Each individual must submit an application
for themselves the parent must submit &
sign for their children under 18.
We can't join any of the tribes unless you
have another Native American family
member who has not given up the
Native America life.
For the Eastern Cherokee
Tribal Enrollment we must:
Be under the age of 19.
Have an ancester that is on the
1924 Baker Rolls
(This information must be updated since the
2018 Court Case has been won.)
The final roll of the Eastern Cherokee, prepared by
United States Agent Fred A. Baker, pursuant to an
Act of the 68th Congress, (43 stat., 376), June 4, 1924.
Before preparation of this roll,
the Act required that all land, money, and other
property of the Tribe be transferred to the
United States for final disposition.
Termination of the Tribe as a government and
political entity was the ultimate goal.
After termination efforts failed,
the Tribe continued to use the 1924 Baker Roll
as its base roll.
Descendants of those persons of the original
Baker Roll are enrolled on the
Baker Revised Roll, providing they
meet the membership requirements of the Tribe.
Have it deternined that You have at least 1/16
Cherokee Blood
Example: From Ann Jones -Miltons mother
Milton Strother- My grandfather
My mother - Serena Strother Wilson
Me (I am not under 19)
Apply for and recive a CIBD
For the other tribes our ancestor must have signed
up & be listed on the Dawes Rolls in 1889.
