Applicants husband on 1896 roll, page 588, number 474. The applicant is identified on the rolls of 1880 and 1896 as an adopted Delaware. She is identified with her husband through the variations that occur in her own name. Her husband is dead. She has lived in the Cherokee Nation ever since her enrollment in 1880 and she will be listed now for enrollment as and adopted Delaware. The undersigned, being first duly sworn, states that as stenographer to the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes, he correctly recorded the testimony and proceedings in this case, and that the foregoing is a true and complete transcript of his stenographic notes thereof. Commissioner. (Signature can't be deciphered.)
A lot of the same letters concerning application for Mary T. Stephenson's, are in her mother, Mary Ann Tiblow's, file.
Mary Cummins Tiblow used the name Mary T. (Tiblow) Stephenson sometime after she married. In documents dated 1880-1896 the name Stephenson was recorded as STEPHENS AND STEVENSON. Through the years it has been passed down from generation to generation to insist that the correct name and spelling of STEPHENSON be used. My mother, Lillie Stephenson Peach, always said that her dad, Fred Stephenson, always told them that they had to make sure that name was spelled STEPHENSON.
It is speculated that Richard W.C. Tiblow and Mary Cummins Tiblow were named after Richard W. Cummins, an Indian Agent in the area that was a friend of her father, Henry Tiblow.
Believed to be buried in an unmarked grave in the Willow Springs Cemetery located in the Ketchum Cemetery. According to Mary Ann Stephenson Alexander, when I met her at 98 years old, she told me that Mary T. Stephenson and her husband Andrew Stephenson are both buried in that old part of the cemetery known as Willow Springs. Her sister, Mildred, always placed flowers on all the gravesites in the Ketchum Cemetery and the old original Willow Springs Cemetery.
I personally walked all over the Ketchum Cemetery and saw lots of familiar names that I recognized through my research.
