LePorts/Abbotts/Carrie Burton in Wyoming

This is the aforementioned Stepmom and I have more info to add to our daughter's info.In 1950, Jerry Frank was stationed at the Air Force Base in Cheyenne.He was told by his dad or uncle to go the the Reservation to look up his (probably theirs!) Grandparents.It seems that someone in the family married outside the Reservation and was told to leave and not come back.He spoke with an old man and woman who he believed to be HIS grandparents but he does not remember much about that now that he is 68.This could have been the parents or grandparents of Jennie Lee and Cyrus and Moses LePort or it could have been the parents of Charles Everett Abbott.It could also have been someone on his mother's side of the family because we have not found out her father's name but her mother was married to a Burton when she was born.They were all in OH and WV by 1900 to the present. Where would we find marriage records of Tribal Members to outsiders in the late 1800's?Or enrollment rolls of children of such a union?Our brick wall is very THICK and we would appreciate ANY help!Thanks and God Bless!Brenda
