Sol Finding #808 — Esther Beaver Oneida split decree
May 18, 1905 interlocutory decree did not dispose of Esther Beaver’s petition as one uniform group. ¶16 dismissed the Seneca/Brothertown portion (petitioners affiliated with tribes not parties to the 1838 Buffalo Creek Treaty) and, in the next sentence, directed the commissioner to enroll thirteen named Oneida claimants only if they proved treaty-era Oneida membership/descent, no disqualifying later nonparty affiliation, and an Interior application before Dec 31, 1901. Split conditional ruling — not proof all thirteen ultimately passed or were paid.
OCR correction: photographed p.482 prints “since said date of 1838” (treaty date). Early low-res OCR misread “1888”; full-size check + independent OCR confirm 1838. Mistake is reporter-reading, not source inconsistency.
