There was a rumor in our family also that Rebecca Jack was part Indian. I have found no evidence to support this. What I have found is that her father, John J. Jack, after his 1st wife died (Rebecca's mother), then married Alice Yargee and they lived in Oklahoma. Alice Yargee was 1/4 Creek. They had two daughters, Alice Luvina "Vina" Jack and Amanda Amy Jack. So, most likely, we have some distant cousins that are part American Indian. I found their application on the web for enrollment with the Dawes Commission. The Dawes Commission was appointed by Pres. Grover Cleveland in 1893 to negotiate with the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole tribes. In return for abolishing their tribal governments and recognizing state and federal laws, tribe members were allotted a share of common property. Heads of families, orphans and children could receive 40 to 160 acres of land by proving their tribal membership.
