  • I have consulted various sources and documents that mention or refer to these rolls, such as the ones I have mentioned in this request. Again, This information is mentioned in detail from the books and senate documents that contain transcripts of the official proceedings or hearings labeled "OPENING OF ROLLS". They involve dialogues between various senators and officials, such as Senator Davis, Senator Sutherland, Senator Taylor, Senator Curtis, Senator Brandegee, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Henderson. These dialogues discuss in particularto this request, the cases determined by the Secretary of the Interior, and the rolls prepared by the government officials or agents between 1830 and 1860. They also indicate the knowledge and existence of the rolls I am seeking.

    For example and evidence thereof, within the aforsaid Senate document or hearing, Senator Davis asks Mr. Ward if he knows that there are some 80 or 90 official rolls prepared by the government between 1830 and 1860 in the Treasury Department's office or the Secretary's office. Mr. Ward says he does NOT know that. Senator Davis then asks Mr. Henderson if he has seen those rolls. Mr. Henderson says he has NOT seen all of them. Senator Davis then asks Mr. Henderson if he had those rolls before him when he rendered decisions on enrollment cases. Mr. Henderson says he ONLY had the ones that were in his office; Of which he affirms HE ONLY HAD SIX ROLLS MADE UP BY TRIBAL OFFICIALS' ROLLS AND PARTS OF ROLLS.

    This dialogue suggests that the rolls I am requesting exist and were not necessarily used by the aforsaid Commission. These Rolls as aforementioned may contain valuable genealogical information and/or supporting documentation for the individuals who were enrolled or rejected by the government in the period between 1830 and 1914.
