Enrolling as Cherokee Freedmen: Social Networks of Rejected Applicants

George Amos Mayfield

George Amos Mayfield (Cherokee Freedman) lived in Texas for around four years. He first went to the Creek Nation with George Adair and Dick Fields at the end of March 1865. There, he cropped with “Judge Adair” (which may be a misspelling of George Adair) and Fields, returning to the Cherokee Nation later in the year. George testified for Sallie Mayfield, his aunt, whom he had known since before the war. He was also a cousin to Emberry and Thomas Mayfield
