Biography

Delilah was Cherokee.

Dawes Enrollee

Cherokee by Blood

Dawes Card Number 467

Delilah Alberty was born about 1835 in the Cherokee Nation (East). Her parents were Johnson Alberty and Catherine Hood. She must have been at least sixteen in 1852 since she is listed individually, although next to her parents, on the Drennan Roll. ^[1] She parented a daughter, Nannie, in 1860 with Rider Williams, who appears on the Drennan Roll as an orphan in the care of Johnson Alberty. The 1880 Cherokee Census shows Delilah and Nannie living with Delilah's mother and a number of other family members in the Going Snake District. ^[2]

Delilah was enrolled by the Dawes Commission in 1902 ^[3] and was approved for a share of the Eastern Cherokee (Guion Miller) payment of 1907. ^[4]

The 1910 U.S. Census shows Delilah living with daughter Nannie and her family in Stilwell, OK. ^[5] Her death date is uncertain.
