The tracts early sale (1832) transferred possession but not clear U.S. title. The early sale in 1832 did not legally nullify the underlying treaty entitlement, but it complicated fulfillment of the five-year residence requirement for fee-simple title. When scrip was issued c 1842 (under Article 19), Thomas Davis would have had to surrender it at the land office to obtain the official patent under scrip authority. This "validated" the prior informal sale, thus issuing title to Davis as assignee. Article 19 of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek provided for Each individual named in the Treaty was granted a specific, often large, quantity of land, typically four sections (2,560 acres) for the principal chiefs. In addition to land grants, some individuals were also granted annuities (annual payments) and other items like money and clothing for lesser chiefs, captains, and warriors. A complete list of names and records of these certifications, locations, and the issued patents exist in the U.S. National Archives (Record Group 75, Bureau of Indian Affairs), specifically in "Reserve File C" covering Article 19 of the 1830 Choctaw Treaty (1831û1889), with associated registers and indexes. But because Me Shune received at least a partial allotment, that he sold in 1832, legally bound him to giving up his Choctaw citizenship. |
