content: 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.

"His-repeated-Cries (Shouts)-Carry-So-Far" Jim Bob's age at death is given in his probate record (W 615, Anadarko Indian Agency) as 87, but this seems too high. His full brother Johnson Bobb died at 44 on January 11, 1905; his sister Jennie Bobb died at 51 or 57. August 12, 1918.
