Witness	9 December 1909	Memo:6
Memo	5 December 2018	Memo: Was Francis Elizabeth a daughter of David Weaver? On 5 Dec 2018 a Glenda Miller Pritchard made the following post to a Facebook Group called 'Descendants of John Eddings and Elizabeth Weaver'. The following is a copy of that post: Several of the Eddings family applied to receive funds the federal government paid to relocated Cherokees. All the claims were though their relationship to Elizabeth Eddings via Dave Weaver. All of these applications were rejected. The reason they were rejected is documented in the Guion Miller Roll report and Records of Eastern Cherokee Ancestry in the U.S. Court of Claims 1906-1910. The follow explanation is taken from a book called "Cherokee by Blood" which takes its information from the report. 45. JAMES A. BLACKBURN and 3 children, Moneta, Cal. Rejected. These applicants allege that they are descendants of the Dave Weaver who was enrolled in 1835. They claim through Elizabeth Weaver, daughter of Dave, who married John Eddings, and who had the folowing children: Frances Blackburn nee Eddings, Ivan Eddings, Richard D. Eddings and Jesse Eddings. The applicants herein are descendants of these children. There is a conflicting evidence as to where Elizabeth Eddings was residing in 1835. There is some evidence to the effect that she died in that year. Levi R. Eddings, Elizabeth's grandson (Appl. #2370), states that she died in Marion Co., Ill in 1835 (see Exhibit 2). Andrew E. Blackburn (Appl. #6007), another grandson, states that she died in Mo. in 1841 (see Exhibit 4). Josiah Eddings (Appl. #1671), also a grandson of Elizabeth, states that his grandmother was living in Tenn. in 1835 (see Exhibit 6). There is a "Dav" Weaver on the roll of 1835, Cherokee Co., Ga., Page 38, enrolled with 6 others, making a family of 7, all full-bloods, and it is stated on that roll that there were in that family, 4 males under 18 years of age, 2 over 18, and 1 female under 16. Elizabeth Eddings, as shown by applications and other evidence, was a grandmother in 1835, having several grandchildren who were born in about 1830 and one in 1828, Ivan Eddings. There is no evidence in this case as to whether Dave Weaver had any other children than Elizabeth Eddings, and there is no evidence tending to prove that the Dave Weaver on the roll of 1835 is the ancestor of applicants herein, except their statements to that effect. Elizabeth Eddings or her husband should have been on the roll of 1835 under the name of Eddings, if she were living in the Cherokee domain or were recognized as a member of the tribe at that time. Most of her children were also heads of families in 1835, and should also have been enrolled at that time under their own names. Neither the names of any of the ancestors nor the names of any of the applicants herein, with the exception of that of Dave Weaver, appear on the rolls of 1835, 1851, or 1882. The necessary supposition is, therefore, that if Elizabeth Eddings was an Eastern Cherokee and was ever a recognized member of the tribe, she had left the tribe prior to 1835, and since that time neither she nor any of her descendants have been connected with or recognized as members of the tribe. If she and her children had not left the Cherokee tribe but had been recognized members thereof, they would certainly have been enrolled on some of the Eastern Cherokee rolls. As above shown, the Dave Weaver on the roll of 1835 was enrolled with a family of 6, 4 being males under 18 years of age and 1 female under 16. Elizabeth Eddings, who as claimed by applicants herein, was the daughter of Dave Weaver, and was, as above shown, a grandmother in 1835 and had a grandchild 7 years old at that time, so that it is extremely improbable that Dave Weaver would have had several children under 18 years of age and one who was a grandmother at that same time. Even conceding that applicants herein are the descendants of the Dave Weaver whose name appears on the roll of 1835, they would not be entitled, as Elizabeth Eddings and her children as above shown were old enough to have been enrolled on the 1835 roll in their own names as heads of families, and if Elizabeth had left the tribe they would be classed as Old Settlers, if Cherokees at all, and consideration of the premises, therefore, the applications of all person claiming thru Dave Weaver and his daughter, Elizabeth are hereby rejected. EXCEPTION CASE. Rejected. Dave Weaver Group. Total number of exceptions filed in this group - 189. Original recommendation renewed.

Biography

Memo	between 1819 and 1821	Memo: Dave moved to Georgia during the period 1819-1821.3
Census	1835	Census: David (Dave) Weaver appeared in the census in 1835 in Cherokee, Georgia, United StatesB. also known as the 1835 Census of Cherokee Indians (Henderson Roll), or the Trail of Tears Roll. The Henderson Roll or Rolls of 1835 is a listing of 16,000 Cherokees living in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, & North Carolina to be removed to Oklahoma, per Treaty New Echota. It was taken in the months leading up to the conclusion of the Treaty of New Echota in December 1835. It lists more than 900 heads of household, with statistical information about each family, including number of people by blood percentage, number of slaves, and farm capacity. The census is organized by state, county, and watercourse, providing the general area where each family lived. The entry was found on Page 6 of the Georgia list. The household was made up of 4 males under 18; 2 females over 18; 0 females under 16; and 1 slave over 16.3
Memo	9 December 1909	Memo: Indian Chief: According to an article in 'The Republican' from Salem, IL on Dec 9, 1909 - "David Weaver, chief of the Eastern Cherokees"1
Memo		Memo: Who was Dave Weaver? Much has been writen about Dave Weaver, some true and some maybe not. It would appear from the 1835 Census that he was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Some have referred to him as a "Chief", but no indian documents have been found that would verify that. When his property was evaluated in 1836 by the US Gov't, in preparation for the Trail of Tears move, Dave's property had 1 and one half acres and was valued at $19. He was about the poorest Cherokee on the list. Bob Eddings, a descendant of Dave Weaver who has done much research on him, states "I have never seen an Indian name for Dave Weaver, Elizabeth Weaver, or any of Daves several sons. I have been trying to find out when and how he and daughter Elizabeth got their Christian names of Weaver."3
