Caroline Conrad

Even though Callie was of Cherokee blood, the Dawes Commission turned down her application for the following reasons:

"By reason of the marriage to Painter (white man), she being originally a non-citizen, after the death of her husband, who was a citizen, to one George Painter, a non-citizen, her application for the enrollment of herself is rejected, she having married out, under the law of the Cherokee Nation; and from the further fact that she married the said Thomas Fox Conrad before he was readmitted under the laws of the Cherokee Nation, consequently she never did become a citizen."

Her two girls were enrolled.

She made an Eastern Cherokee Application and it was rejected. A lawyer would have helped if she had obtained one. Witnesses to her application were: Henry J. Ward and Samuel Foreman.

She had 7 children and only 2 lived into adulthood.

Her Cherokee name was Ga-li-ta.
