CHAPMAN ROLL

EASTERN CHEROKEES

1851

© 1996 Jerry Wright Jordan

The Chapman Roll was taken in 1851 by Alfred Chapman . This roll, which followed almost immediately the Siler Roll, was a result of many complaints by various Cherokees of having been omitted by Siler (see Cherokee Census Rolls ).

I'm happy to announce that Barbara Benge has been working on the Siler Roll and now has it online. You will want to view the two rolls together. Siler added interesting family information on many of the enrollees - who was married to whom, who a child belonged to, full-blood, mixed, or white married to Cherokee. By studying the two rolls together you get a more complete picture of the families. Keep in mind that it was the Chapman Roll which was a major criteria for admittance to the Guion Miller Roll of Eastern Cherokees in 1906-1909. Be sure to visit the Siler Roll while you are viewing the Chapman Roll.

The copy of the Chapman roll which I have used is found on M685 Roll #12, which is the set of microfilms used in my series of books Cherokee by Blood. Guion Miller used these particular rolls in determining who was eligible to be admitted to the Miller Roll. He made notes on these early rolls signifying the Miller Application number of descendants of particular families. These notations are listed beside the individual's name and inclosed in []. This is very helpful to those of us who are searching for these families today. Please note however, that just because a [number] does not appear beside various families it does not mean that no descendant applied.

    [NOTE:This application number was "409," however, while applicant 409
    was the son of a "Sah-law-lih" or "Squirrel," both he and his parents
    were enrolled on Drennen Roll in 1851 in Saline District. It is quite
    likely that Guion Miller made a notation on this roll and then neglected
    to change it.  It is possible that this "Sul-lo-leh" or his descendants
    did apply to the Miller Roll, but whatever application it may be is not
    noted here. - jwj.]
