That I am over 50 years of age. The mother of Emma Scontie and I are brother and sister. Emma’s mother’s name is Too-kah. She may go by the name of Too-kah Chuckerlate sometimes. She is living near Tahlequah. Think her post office is Bunch or Marble City, Oklahoma. Moses Chuckerlate is a half brother of my father, Jess Chuckerlate. Mose was in and gave his testimony yesterday. He is a half brother on the father’s side. Too-kah is about 70 years of age at present. Jess died since the war, about four or five years after the war. He died when I was very small. My Indian name is Dah-yah-len-nah. I have a brother named Alex, but he was not old enough to be enrolled in 1851. Emma Scontie’s roll number by the Dawes Commission is 19314. None of my folks were Old Settlers.
