Long Family/ Cherokee Indian Hertiage
Hello,
I'm Phyllis "Long" Rhodes, and I'm from one of the
line's of Long's that are Cherokee. My family came from
Tn, during the removal of the Indians & they moved into
Arkansas. Later my ggrandfather, Rev. Robert H. Long and some of his sibblings came into I.T. and signed the Final Dawes Rolls in the Cherokee Strip. N.E. Oklahoma. His mother,Mahala "Atchley" Long was 1/4 Cherokee, her mother was Martha "Chambers" Atchley. I have a copy of a cert. letter that Mahala wrote for her son's to present to the Ind. Agent stating the fact that she was Cherokee Indian by blood.
Several of the Maples and Mahala "Atchley" Long children
did live in I. T. at the time. The person had to prove that
they were living in the Cheorkee Territory between 1898 &
1906 & proof of their Indian Heritage. That was the only period that they could enroll. The Dawes Final Rolls for I. T. (OK.) can be found on line w/the complete list of names for the 5 Civ. tribes.Cherokee;Chickasaw;Choctaw;
Creek; Seminole
I hope this helps w/any of the Long's that descend from
Rev. George Long 1 (Tn.);Maples Long;(Tn.Ark.)Rev. Robert Long;(Tn.Ark.Ok.) Rev. Isaiah H. Long;(Mo.Ok.) Ray A. Long;(Ok.) and their sibblings in Oklahoma. If I can be of any help to you, post or contact me at> [email protected]
