The next list is the Wallace Roll of Cherokee Freedmen in Indian Territory. These rolls were created because the Cherokee citizenship of many ex-slaves of the Cherokee in Indian Territory was disputed by the Cherokee tribe. A series of investigations was conducted in order to compile the rolls of the Cherokee Freedmen. John W. Wallace compiled the original rolls for the Authenticated, Admitted, and Rejected Freedmen, and the Free Negroes. Because of discrepancies, additional supplements were added.
Individual entries give name, age, sex, residence, and other pertinent information.
The individual rolls are generally arranged alphabetically by initial letter of surname of head of family, but occasionally they may first be divided into groups and districts. This roll contains 197 pages. The next roll is the Kern - Clifton Roll of Cherokee Freedmen. It was taken to correct omissions that were found in the Wallace Roll. This roll contains 204 pages.
