#21227 E.F. Douglas in behalf of Richard B. Graham
"That I am 70 years old. He claims his Indian descent through his mother. His father is a white man. I have known his mother between 45 and 50 years. I got acquainted with her at Hillsboro, Tenn. She was born in Virginia - not far from Rockbridge, Rock Bridge Co., I think. She claimed her Indian descent through her mother. Her name was Camblin Glass. She came from Virginia, but I don't know whether she was born there or not. His mother was born in 1812 and died in 1902. She was a small girl when she went to Tennessee. I have heard Mrs. Glass say that her father was a full blood Cherokee. Never heard her say whether any of them were ever on any roll. They were always connected with the white people, but the old lady always told me that she had Cherokee blood."

W.R. Graham in behalf of Richard B. Graham and also himself.
"I am a brother of Richard B. Graham. I have filed application but don't know the number. I claim my Indian descent through my mother. My father is a white man and my wife is a white woman. My mother was born in Virginia in 1812. She married about 1830 and she and my father lived among the Indians at Lookout Mountain, Tenn. Don't know whether she took part in the Indian Councils or not. Don't know whether my mother was ever on any Indian roll.
My mother left Tenn. about 20 years when I went after her and she died in Tex. Never heard that she ever received anything from the government. None of us children were ever on any roll and never received any money or land from the government. My mother was more white than Indian. She was something like 1/4 Cherokee. My mother had a brother named Jack. He died in Ark. at the time of the war.

We never applied to the Dawes Commission for enrollment. In 1851 she lived near Hillsboro, Tenn. in Coffey Co. - as well as I know."
