Biography

Dawes Enrollee

Cherokee Intermarried White

Card #1203

Annie Seabolt's birth date is uncertain. She was born between 1800-1812 and is believed to be the daughter of Adam Seabolt and his wife Annie. She is incorrectly listed in Starr's History as the daughter of Henry Seabolt, but other records support her being the sister of Henry, Rachel, John, and Adam Seabolt who all had Cherokee spouses. ^[1] Her Dawes card (the matching application is lost) lists her as an intermarried white and her father's name as "John." ^[2] She married Charles Foreman, a Cherokee, about 1830. They were the parents of Minerva, Thomas, William, Charles, and Samuel. The family appears on the 1835 Cherokee census living on Candy's Creek (now Tennessee) with two children. They were Removed to Indian Territory over the Trail of Tears. Charles died in 1844 and she married Thomas Ross about 1846. They were the parents of five children, David, Elizabeth, Emeline, Nancy, and Jeffrey. ^[3] Annie and Thomas separated at some point and he remarried. Annie died September 13, 1902. ^[4]
