This roll was later used by the Citizenship Commission to make up the Creek Census Cards. The notation "DEAD" was written in at that time, on all who had died between the time the roll was taken and 1 April 1899. Following are children and grandchildren of Benjamin and Eliza (Berryhill) Posey who were on this roll: Authencated Roll of the Creek Nation 1890 Broken Arrow Town 1. Mary Vance 1. T. B.
