If your ancestor was alive in the 1700s he would not be on the Dawes Rolls. The Dawes Rolls were created around 1900. You would need to use U.S. Census records and trace your family back to the 1900 Census. In 1900 the government used a "Special Inquiries Relating to Indians" questionnaire that will help you determine the tribe. When you have the correct name from the Census records, then you can search the Dawes Roll for your ancestors name.
