The record in this case shows that on September 18, 1900, the applicant, L
ena Goins, appeared before the Commission at Vinita, Indian Territory, a
nd then and there made personal application for the enrollment of herse
lf and seven minor children, Taylor J., William R., Maud J., Russell R., K
ittie, Riley R., and Benjamin R. Paden, as citizen by blood of the Cherok
ee Nation. Thereafter, on October 18, 1901, at Vinita, Indian Territory, f
urther evidence in the matter of this application was heard and on Februa
ry 25, 1902, at Muskogee, Indian Territory, the case was ordered closed a
nd reported to the Commission for final decision. The seven children of t
he applicant, Lena Goins, and her former husband, Benjamin R. Paden, who d
ied March 1896, are all listed for enrollment on Cherokee Roll Card Fie
ld No.2918, and are not embraced in this decision or considered at this ti
me.
It appears from the evidence in this case that the applicant, Lena Goin
s, was admitted to all the rights and privileges of Cherokee Citizensh
ip on the 27th day of September 1883, by the Commission an Citizensh
ip of the Cherokee Nation, her name appearing in the certificate of admiss
ion as “Allen P. Jones,” which name was written by some mistake inste
ad of her’ correct name at the time of her admission, Orlena P. Jones.
The applicant, Lena Goins, is identified on the Cherokee
Cherokee D 329 – 2 –
Census roll of 1896, her name appearing on said roll as “Leana Paden,” S
he was married to her present husband, John D. Goins, February 19, 1900, a
nd by that marriage a female child, Okley Goins, by name, was born on Dece
mber 16, 1900, subsequent to the date of this application, and proper pro
of of her birth has been furnished the Commission. The applicant, Lena Goi
ns, has lived in the Cherokee Nation ever since her admission in 1883.
The authority of the Commission herein is defined in Paragraph 1, Sec. 2
1, of the Act of Congress, June 28, 1898. (30 Stats., 495.)
It is therefore the opinion of this Commission that Lena Goins and Okley G
oins are lawfully entitled to be enrolled as members by blood of the Chero
kee Tribe of Indians in Indian Territory, and that the application for the
ir enrollment as such should be granted and it is so ordered.

Another book I came across, has anyone had a chance to view it?
Early Virginia Families Along the James River: Their Deep Roots and Tangled Branches, Vol. III
This is the third volume in a series by Mrs. Foley designed to identify the earliest settlers of Virginia. The purpose of this book is to assist the researcher in finding colonial and immigrant ancestors in James City County and in that part of James City County south of the James River which was cut off to form Surry County in 1652 and in placing these early settlers in the milieu of their land patents. To accomplish this, Mrs. Foley abstracted the land records from the fourteen volumes of Patent Books for the period 1623-1732 which are now located in the Virginia State Archives in Richmond. The main body of the text consists of a chronological series of abstracts giving the name of the James City County or Surry County patentee, the location and acreage of the patent and date of settlement, with references to family members and owners of adjoining properties, and, most important, the names of the thousands of settlers brought over as “headrights.”
Two special features of the volume should also be noted. Included are the Quit Rent Rolls for James City County and Surry County, 1704-1705, containing the names of more than 500 patentees of new land with the number of their taxable acres. In addition, Mrs. Foley has prepared an index to the James City County Civil War map of 1864 which gives the names of persons located on their respective properties. In many instances, as shown by a comparison of names on the map with those in the Patent Books, land was passed down from generation to generation, and by the time of the Civil War as many as eight or ten generations may have succeeded to the same land or to land nearby.See also the other books in this series:

Early Virginia Families Vol. II: Charles City-Prince George Counties
Cowboy, wonder why her other 7 children were not included? Maybe had to do a separate claim because they had a different father?

Hi Bee,
Are the books mainly families, history or what? In other words, are they a good genealogical resource? Investment?

Arrah Goins would have been born to late b. 1908

Her first husband Benjamin Paden was Cherokee
Her second husband John Goins was not according
to the Nation.

Shirley, Vol I is nearly all land patents, with a brief historical sketch of the area and a couple of maps. One of the maps is out there on the net. “Curles of the James” it is called. To be honest, I am not too sure how to interpret some of the entries. Lots of familiar names in there. It astounds me how much land people seemed to think they needed. For example,
“The Corporation of Charles City.
Public lands. 3000 acres of company and 1500 acres of common land.
Private lands. There had been granted to some 70 proprietors about 20,000 acres of land.”
The book cost about $20, but that was at the Jamestown gift shop. Probably could find it for much less.
Here’s another source for some genealogy books that might be hard to locate otherwise.

Becky,
Thanks, that is quite a list…I will have to take a look and see which ones I can use.

This is a website for North Carolina Archives. There are many books that get put on clearance because they are shelf worn or out-of-date. Also makes a great Christmas or birthday present…..LOL.

Hey thanks, Becky. Cool stuff. That sparked me to search the VA archives, where there are some images of bible records. Got a hit on some recent family.
But, in the small world department, another family bible found was for the author of the aforementioned “Early Virginia Families Along the James River”. Whee. Louise Pledge Heath md. August 24, 1930 to Robert G or J Foley. Looks like Annapolis, MD.
It’s part of Matthews family Bible record, 1779-1961
