I found this. Now what do I DO with it? This guy could be the same James H. Blackwell that is listed on my tree--or maybe not! Any suggestions as to my next move?
The James I have listed is
James Halbert Blackwell, b. 14, Jan. 1822 in St. Francois Co. MO, d. 30 July 1866, m. Louisa Ramsey 1840, m. Nancy M. Barnes about 1846. He's the s.o. William H. Blackwell b. 10 April 1793 in Goochland VA & Mary Ann Halbert b. 6 April 1791 in SC.
>James is recorded on the Dawes Commission Index of Indians with control number NRFF-75-53A-1839 (Group Number: 75; Series ID: 53A; Item ID: 1839; Title: Enrollment for JAMES BLACKWELL; General Materials Designator Record Type: Textual Records; Reference Unit: National Archives - Southwest Region Agency Name: National Archives and Records Administration Facility Name: Building 1, Dock 1; Address: 501 West Felix Street; City: Fort Worth; State" Texas; ZIP Code: 76115; Telephone Number: 1-817/334-5621; Organizational Code: NRFF; Creating Organization: Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes, Bureau of Indian Affairs. Scope and Content: Tribe: Cherokee; Type: Parent; Sex: Male; Census Card Number: R-388; Personal Name Reference: JAMES BLACKWELL. There is no evidence that this James is our James but is included in this reference as its existence in government records.
Thanks,
Dinah
