Biographical / Historical
In 1867 the Delaware moved from Kansas to the Cherokee Reservation, Indian Territory. Those involved in the move became known as the Delaware (registered) or the Delaware (Cherokee). The others became known as the Delaware (absentee). "Registered" and "absentee" are not aboriginal terms.
Jennie Bobb (tuk wi ma nsi "Black-Walnut-Tree") died August 12, 1918 at a reported age of 51, but she is also said to have been 55 in 1915 (Anadarko Agency, Probate records, W 338 and W 615).
