Stephanie
Query: Hello, I am researching my greatgrandmother's Cherokee background. Her name is Myrtle Floyd and she was born in Missouri (right by the NE Oklahoma border) about 1886, possibly a few years later. She later married Duke Gray, also a Missouri native, and they then moved to Ottawa County, OK. Myrtle was supposed to be either full or half Cherokee, and Duke may have had some Cherokee blood as well. However, they are not on the 1907 Dawes Roll, although there are 7 Floyds on that roll, and a lot of Grays as well. One of my relatives told me that Myrtle WAS on some 1900 Cherokee roll, but she forgot the name of it. Does anyone here know of a Cherokee roll taken about 1900? Thanks so much.

Elizabeth
Query: I am looking for info on Charles Sanford Arrowood, or wife Nola Guy Arrowood. These are my great grandparents, whom I believe to be Cherokee. Both died in August (unsure of year), at age 35 and 34, respectively, they were born around 1890, and lived in the NC Pisgah Nat. Forest. The incredible story relayed to me is that one of their fathers was a tribal chief, and Charles and another Cherokee invented a steam engine. At the time of the invention, they resided on the reservation, but were forced to leave because of the invention. It is said the government discovered it, and somehow forced them to leave. I also was told they were removed from the Cherokee rosters over this issue. They had three children, Junior Arrowood, Pearl Arrowood Bailey, and Helen Viola Arrowood Bowen (my grandmother, deceased Feb. 2000.)
