Susan
Query: My ggg grandfather was James SHOOK and he was Cherokee by blood. He was not admitted on the Dawes Rolls due to he died. 4 of his children were accepted. He had one more daughter that would of been my gg grandmother Elizabeth SHOOK. She was Elizabeth HARRIS and she did enroll but she died before the she was approved. My GGG Grandfather fought hard to be on the rolls for his children. The court documents say the evidence said he was Cherokee by blood. The family cannot get on the tribal rolls due to this. But we have proof from the court that he was Cherokee by blood. He applied around 1896 and was drawing strip money. Can this be reversed?
