Manuscripts Collection
The annuity pay rolls (1849-1935) give the name, age or year of birth, and sex of each family member; per capita share; total amount paid; marks or signatures of recipients and witnesses; date of receipt; and remarks. Those for the mid-1880s give name of family head and totals of men, women, and children in each family rather than a list of each member. The annuity goods rolls (1851-1878) give the name of each chief; his mark; and the type and quantity of goods furnished. The census rolls (1849, 1896, ca.1908) list the name of each head of family; total number of family members; and number of males and females by age category.
Also included are rolls (1892-1896) that give the name, age, sex, and remarks for Indians who served as government soldiers and scouts.
