Notes for Jesse Stinson Boatright:
1. Notes by R. G.Boatright:
Catherine Elizabeth Ruble (#41), daughter of Jesse, gave me the record of Jesse's children in 1928.She statedin her letter that she was the 14th child of a family of 16 children.She stated that her father moved to Arkansas from Platte County, Missouri in 1857.About 1862 he moved to Texas and then to Van Buren, Arkansas about 1866.He then moved to Wagoner, Indian Territory (Oklahoma), where he died in November 9, 1905.
Jesse taught school in his younger years before becoming a merchant and insurance salesman.In the 1890's he was secretary of the Watt'sAssociation.It was during this period that he spent considerable time and money (his as well as that of other members of the family) trying to prove his Cherokee Indian blood which came through the Blackburn family of Virginia.
Jesse S. Boatright filed a claim to Cherokee Heritage with the Dawes Commission in 1896.It was apparently based on belief that James Blackburn's daughter, Elizabeth, had a half-sister, Polly Carter, enrolled on Rolls of Five Civilized tribes.The claim was rejected.
I (RGB) well remember,when I was a small boy, my father, John W. Boatwright (#27), discussing this matter with the family many times.At one time he made a trip to Wagoner, which was then in Indian Territory to investigate the matter with his cousin, Jesse (#16), as well as others who were interested in the matter.
2. Middle name is"Stinson" (not Stevens) per Bob Oliver, descendant of
William Van.
3. It should be noted that all sixteen of the children were by same parents and all lived to be married except John Leewho died in his teens.
4.From Malinda Fairall, Lansing, TN...
"My gg-grandfather, Jesse Stinson, married my gg-grandmother twice.He felt like the first marriage just wasn't right, so one day, he came into the kitchen where Evaline was washing dishes...Jesse had brought a preacher home and they got married again" .
5.Jesse's birthdate shown as 11 Dec 1829 in 'Boatwright Family Bible' records.

Notes for Mary Evaline "Molly" Miller:
1.Notes by Malinda Fairall...
"My gg-grandmother, Mary Evaline Miller, was one of four children of Isaac Newton Miller and Elizabeth Jane Martin.Isaac Newton died as a young man on the Santa Fe Trail.He was a wagoner. Elizabeth left her four girls in the care of her parents after Isaac died.One year after he died, she married a Mr. Jones.She had 5 or 6 children by this man.Mr. Jones died after a few years and then she died a year later.This left the kids to be raised by other family members.Isaac's girls were all married by the time they were 14 or 15 years old.One of the girls was married 3 times by the ageof 21.She died soon after turning 21.
"Mary Evaline applied for the Cherokee Rolls in 1906.In her statement, she mentioned that her father, Isaac, was part Cherokee.One source says that the Cherokee bloodline came through his father, Andrew Miller.Another source says that it came through Isaac's Mother, Nancy.In one source, it is said that Nancy was very beautiful and the daughter of a chief.Mary Evaline stated that Andrew, Peggy, Sarah and another sister, were enrolled.I have not been able to prove this, yet."
A picture provided by Malinda Fairall who states that Evaline was 1/4 Cherokee Indian.Application for DAWES Commission listing is onfile in Archives in Fort Worth.
