Cherokee on my mothers side

November 27, 2014 by beccascarbrough 2 Comments

It just said, Sara Gaten Phillips, roll number 177. I found that is a Cherokee Roll Number and on that site it says, Sara Phillips was White, the intermarriage was her claim to a roll number. Also today on the Oklahoma pages about Indian Roll numbers and Intermarriage, it said, if I read it correctly, anyone who was given a roll number via marriage would keep that number in the event of the Indian dying if there were any children resulting from the marriage.

So, we need to connect Sara Gaten Phillips via Louisa A Phillips (her child) via Henry Phillips. This information was given to me by my cousin, I believe it is for my grandfather side, my mothers father. His name was Robert Bloxham.

    The Sara Henderson with IW 177 roll number was a White woman married to a Cherokee citizen, Henry P. Phillips. There was a Sarah Gaten Phillips married to a Robert Bloxham. These are different people. Are you mixing up the lineages perhaps?

    However, for a little context: Henry is also listed on the Dawes Roll and at that final enumeration his children were:

    Elmer, Roxie, and Henry C, all listed as 1/16 by blood members.

    There doesn’t appear to be a Louisa Phillips listed on the by blood rolls.

      Sarah Loiusa Phillips (b: 16 Feb 1889, Indian Territory d: 9 Nov 1955, Muskogee, OK) was my great grandmother. Her nickname was Martha. Her parents were William and Rosa Phillips. She married John Sunday on 11 April 1910 in Lowrey, OK. If this is the Sarah Phillips you are researching, you can contact me directly at: clarkbars6@gmail.com
