The Armstrong Roll was created after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and contains reference to the Mississippi Chowtaws. Article 14 of this treaty states:
“Each Choctaw head of a family being desirous to remain and become a citizen of the States, shall be permitted to do so, by signifying his intention to the Agent within six months from the ratification of this Treaty.”
“He or she shall thereupon be entitled to a reservation of one section of six hundred and forty acres of land, to be bounded by sectional lines of survey; in like manner shall be entitled to one half that quantity for each unmarried child which is living with him over ten years of age; and a quarter section to such child as may be under 10 years of age, to adjoin the location of the parent.
If they reside upon said lands intending to become citizens of the States for five years after the ratification of this Treaty, in that case a grant in fee simple shall issue; said reservation shall include the present improvement of the head of the family, or a portion of it. Persons who claim under this article shall not lose the privilege of a Choctaw citizen, but if they ever remove are not to be entitled to any portion of the Choctaw annuity.”
The letters and correspondence surrounding the Armstrong Rolls includes extensive lists of all Choctaw claims allowed.
The Mississippi Choctaws who chose to relinquish the annuity allowed under the treaty and remain in Mississippi received the above land grants, provided they made improvements to the land. After 5 years, they were entitled to keep the portion with improvements and were granted citizenship in the United States. They retained dual citizenship in the Choctaw tribe, but were not entitled to any further annuities.
