Notes for CHARLES FOREMAN, SR:
An account of the Church at Candy's Creek, Cherokee Nation, 1 Jan 1828;
Charles Foreman- He is second son of Thomas Foreman and very dark complexioned, he speaks the Cherokee & English languages equally well and frequently exhorts to prayer in religious meetings in his native tongue. I am sorry to state that he is less circumspect & godly than other members of this church. He has made himself subject by miss-conduct to discipline in two cases. Though he is now suspended from church privileges yet he is about being restored. He reads tolerably well.

Notes for ANNIE SEABOLT:
Starr lists Seabolt 1-11 Annie Seabolt +Charles Foreman only. In Starr's compilation Annie is the daughter of Henry Seabolt Sr; however a fellow researcher has indicated that she is his sister.
Miller Application# 2743 for Margaret Benge nee Seabolt lists a sister, Annie, that was born in 1850.
Apparently Starr got Margaret's sister, Annie, confused with her aunt Annie that married Charles Foreman.

Stilwell Standard, Adair Co, OK, Sep 26, 1902; Mrs Annie Ross, probably the oldest person living in Sequoyah District died at the home of her grandson, Sam Johnson [see Samuel Lafayette Johnson, son of Nancy Isabelle Ross] living 5 miles north of town, at 9 o'clock Saturday evening at the age of 92 years. The cause of her death was old age and general infirmities, as she had been an invalid for 9 years, although she retained a remarkable memory to the last. She was born in Mississippi, came west with the early Cherokee immigrants, and had resided in the Cherokee Nation for nearly three quarters of a century. She was the mother of the late Dave Ross and leaves a number of descendants. -Sallisaw Star
