Viola Mildred Deweese

3rd cousin 2x Removed

Finding documents which authenticate research is inspiring and simply pulls it all together.  Today's post is a find that I just happened upon after a distant cousin reached out to me after seeing my BLOG … just a new path… same family…
 and on it goes… let's begin... 

Viola Mildred Deweese

 INDIAN TERRITORY ~ Oklahoma
This part of my family was either born and raised, moved, or forced to move to this part of our Country known as Indian Territory from the mid-late 1800s through early 1900.



Viola Mildred Deweese (I read in one document that she preferred to be called Mildred) was born on November 16, 1912,in Miami, Oklahoma - (Miami was a town in Indian Territory and named after the Miami Tribe).  She was the daughter of Truman L. Deweese and Annie B. Deweese.

In an Indian Census Roll - Quapaw Indian Agency - April 1, 1932~
 Annie Deweese Daugherty (Mildred's Mother) and 
Sylvester & Truman (Mildred's brothers) are listed as 
Eastern Shawnee with Degree of Blood being 3/4 for Annie 
and 3/8 Mildred and her two brothers.
                                                                                                
                                                                                           
           Tribe:Eastern Shawnee, Miami, Ottawa, Peoria, Quapaw, Seneca, And Wyandot  
Reservation:Eastern Shawnee
Agency:Quapaw Indian
State:Oklahoma

~HOWEVER~
Mildred's Mother - Annie Deweese Daughtry - is listed as 
Full Blooded Cherokee in the
CHEROKEE ROLL, INDIANS BY BLOOD
(just another 'fun' avenue to travel)

Annie Daugherty (Mother of Viola Mildred) -Listed as full-blooded Cherokee
Jennie Daugherty? Not sure who she is at this point...

 Indian Territory is listed as residency for Viola's Family and Ancestors
 for many, many years. Indian Territory, also known as the Indian Territories and the Indian Country, was land within the United States of America 
reserved for the forced re-settlement of Native Americans. 


I find her 'strikingly' beautiful...

1930
In 1930, Mildred Deweese was 17 years old and lived in Wyandotte, Oklahoma
 with her father, mother, and 2 brothers.  She went to college for at least one year.

COMING TO AMERICA ~ Indentured Servant

MARTHA HAMILTON ALLISON My 5th Great Grandmother Born 1731(+/-3yrs) Ireland ~ Died 1838(+/-?) Orange County, North Carolina  A descendant of the Plantation of Ulster, Martha was born in Antrim County, Ireland around 1731. In 1746 (one source says she was around 13 years of age) she sailed for America as an indentured servant aboard the ship Rundell ; this was likely due to the famine of 1740-41, in which an estimated 400,000 died in Ireland. The typical arrangement for indenture was to agree to be 'sold' for a four year term upon arrival in America; ship's passage was paid after the fact by the person purchasing the indentured servant, and the term was typically viewed as an opportunity to gradually acclimate to the new culture in the company of one's fellow countrymen.  The following is from Michael Tepper's  'Emigrants To Pennsylvania ,  1641-1819' (1975, Genealogical Publishing Co. Inc., Baltimore MD):  "October 4th. Jam
