  •  Notes 
    • Note from FamilySearch regarding these Quit Claim Deed records: Under the terms of the 1887 Dawes Act, Indian reservations were surveyed and lands held in common by the tribes were allotted in smaller parcels to individual members of the tribe. These records describe the parcels of land and name the tribal member to whom each parcel was allotted.

      This comes from the Chickasaw Freedmen Roll
      The back of the document shows John Pickens, son of Will, transferring his entire interest in the property to Alex Bice (with JL Cordum also present and signing). Looking at Family Search source record pages before and after these two, it seems to be a 1905 case with Aleck Bice and Lyman Pickens about a larger section of land. These two pages show the land being conveyed to Will Pickens in 1903 and then to Aleck Bice in 1905.
