Letter by Mary Ann Terrill and Angerona Thompson

Date: April 22, 1850
From Cherokee Nation, near Ft. Smith

To Dr. Butler Cherokee Agent,
Sir. Form letters recently received from Washington City I learn that myself and my borther, William, and John Thompson, and my sisters, Angerona and Lurana Thompson have a reservation claim awarded us, as the Heirs of Peggy Thompson Dec'd. And not knowing the proper officer to address in Washington on the subject, requires you to inform the government that we do not wish our money draw by a power of attorney from any other person or persons than ourselves. Whic I am guardian for William, John, Lurana Thompson, am entitled to draw for them; my sister (Angerona) whose name is assigned to this, will draw hers herself. We would also request you as our agent to urge upon the government a settlement of our claims at as early as day as possible and forward the money to you for us, as we stand very much in need of it. Your immediate attention to this will confer a great favor on yours most Respectfully, Mary Ann Terrill, Angerona Thompson.

Notes for WILLIAM SMITH TERRILL:
Dist. June 27th 1848

Sir I take my pen in hand a second time to inform you we all are well. I requested you to send Marys bedding &c and presume that you have had and opportunity and I have not heard from you or the things It was a small favor and last that I shall ask of you if you did not wish to pay for the boxes you could of sent you well by the person that hauled them and Mr. Gardner at Ft. Smith would have paid for them as it was so grate a gratification to your present family that we left if you will send the things that belong to Mary your Family shall never be pestered with us again. William is going to school and is doing very well. Angorana has taken up with Dick Crossland. I saw her yesterday and she was at Crossland and she said he was going to marry her. I advised her to come with me to Mackeys until she got married but she would have her own way Terrill.

Note: Angerona did not marry Crossland, but married William Choate.

Provided by the George, GGgrandson of Dick Crossland.

Apparently William S. Terrill and wife Mary Ann felt rejected by James G. and Martha Jane Thompson. Martha must have been a second wife of James. William and Mary had taken all the younger brothers and sisters of Mary with them and moved off. Hence, the letter to Mary's father.
