REJECTED CREEK CLAIMS; APPLICATIONS EASTERN CHEROKEE/EASTERN CREEK were added together, recorded 20 March 1907 No. 18576, Ec Capita 11086. Application 3 18576 Written in the hand of Frank Boone, 13 March 1907, who resided at Jeddo, Alabama: "I claim Indian blood through my mother's family, the Moniac's".
We know now, what Frank Boone and family did not; that this was a Cherokee Claim only, and shyster lawyers made money off these folks who grew up with their Creek Indian families and applied as Creeks.
In his application here refers to his Indian name (or that of his ather?) as Semoice. This name is mentioned in the Act for relief of Susan Marlowe:
An Act to amend an act approved the accord of July, eighteen hundred and thirty-six, for the relief of Samuel Smith, Linn McGhee, and Semoice, Creek Indians, and also, an act passed the second July, eighteen hundred and thirty-five, for the relief of Susan Marlowe.
Be it enacted, &c, That so much of the acts for the relief of Samuel Smith, Linn McGhee, Semoice, and Susan Marlow, as restrict them to the entry of one section pf land, be, and the same is hereby repealed; and the said Samule Smith, Linn McGhee, SDemoice, and Susan Marlow, are hereby authorized to enter, without payment, and by legal subdivisions, a quantity of land not exceeding six hundred and forty acres each, which is subject to entry at private sale.
