Emma Kirby vs Choctaw Nation, No. 3873
Before the Commission for the Five Civilized Tribes
In the Matter of the application of Mrs. Emma Kirby, Applicant for
enrollment
as a member of the Choctaw Tribe of Indians
Your applicant Mrs. Emma Kirby, respectfully represents to this
Honorable Commission that she is a regularly recognized member of the
Choctaw Tribe of Indians of the Choctaw Nation and is entitled to be
placed upon the rolls, to be prepared by this Honorable Commission as a
member of the Choctaw Tribe of Indians on the following grounds, to wit:
1st There is no true and perfect roll of the members of the Choctaw
Tribe of Indians and no law or authority for the Choctaws to make such a
roll
2nd On the 13th day of August, 1894 your applicant was a white woman
and a citizen of the United States and on said day was legally married
to Robert Kirby, who was then and is now a regularly recognized member
by blood of the Choctaw Tribe of Indians, a copy of the marriage
certificate is hereto attached and marked Exhibit "A" and made a part
hereof.
That there was not then nor is there now, any law of the Choctaw Nation
authorizing the issuing of a marriage licence and it was and now is the
established custom for Choctaw men to marry white women without a
license from the Choctaw Nation and by such marriage white women become
members of the Choctaw Tribe of Indians and are so recognized by the
Choctaw authorities.
Your applicant files herewith the affidavit of J. E. Harris as
additional proof of the citizenship of said Robert Kirby and the custom
among the Choctaws and asks to be placed upon the rolls as a member of
the Choctaw Tribe of Indians.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this the 4th day of September, 1896.
W.A. Shoney
Co. Clerk, Red River Co. C. N.
