GUION-MILLER ROLL (CHEROKEE) - MAYNOR APPLICANTS
The Guion-Miller Roll is a "census" of the Eastern Band of The Cherokee
Indian Nation. As best I understand it, it was taken circa 1909 as a
result of a court decision. The court ruled that descendants of those
Cherokees who were forced to move to Oklahoma (i.e.- The Trail of Tears)
were to be compenstated by the United States government as a result of
treaty violation. Apparently, approximately 100,000 people applied to
receive benefits, but only about 35,000 were authenticated as the living
descendants of those Cherokee Indians forced to move in 1838.
It just so happens that 15 Maynors (or variant spellings of Maynor) applied
for benefits. The following is a list of those 15 Maynors, along with
their application number, and the state or territory where they were
residing at the time of application. (NOTE: I believe [but I'm not
absolutely certain] that I.T. means Indian Territory, and I assume that the
Indian Territory became the state of Oklahoma.)
