• Notes

  "The Linder Quarterly" Winter 1984 page 7 Hiram Linder of Virginia, Tennessee and Indian Territory. The story of Hiram Linder provides some insight into the treatment of the Cherokee Indians in the first half of the nineteenth century. Though Hiram was not an Indian, he married a girl who was one-quarter Indian, lived in the Indian lands, and moved with the forced movement of the Indians. Hiram Linder was born in Washington county Virginia ca 1809, the son of John and Mezorah (Gillenwater) Linder. That county is in the far southwest arm of Virginia. John Linder died in 1822; sometime in the years shortly after that Hiram journeyed southwestward into Tennessee. About 1830 he married Barbara Hildebrand; the marriage probably occurred in the Eastern Cherokee Nation. In those years the Eastern Cherokee Nation covered what is now southeastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and northern Georgia. Barbara Hildebrand was the daughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Harlan) Hildebrand. Her grandmother on her mother's side was Catherine Kingfisher, a full-blooded Cherokee. In this time of the 1830s the Cherokees were under great pressure to move from their eastern lands. A treaty, of doubtful validity, had been negotiated with some members of the nation in which they agreed to sell the lands to the United States. Settlers moving westward from the seaboard states wanted to take over this land, and their desires were reflected in the actions of the Congress. The Cherokees, who were considered the most civilized of the Indians, resisted the move, and sent representatives to Washington to plead their case. The response of the government, however, was to place General Winfield Scott in command of an army with orders to evict the Indians from the eastern lands and move them to join the Western Cherokee Nation in what is now Oklahoma. This occurred in 1838. This movement is known in Cherokee history as the "Trail of Tears". The government had conducted a census of the Indian lands in 1835. In this census record, Hiram Linder and family are listed living in an area that later would become Polk county Tennessee {southeast tip of Tennessee}. He and his family moved, probably with the general Indian resettlement. A later statement by one of his children reports that Hiram Linder died in the western Indian Territory ca 1845, and Barbara died there ca 1846. An 1851 census of the Indians shows many of their children living in the "Illinois District" of Indian Territory, an area in present eastern Oklahoma, The government finally accepted an obligation to pay the survivors of the eastern Cherokees for their land by Congressional action May 28,1906. All who could claim descent from an Eastern Cherokee were invited to submit applications to share in the payment, and a commission was established to examine the claims. Since Hiram's children were 1/8th Cherokee, and his grandchildren l/16th, they were eligible, and those surviving to that time did submit applications. These provide a record of the children of this family, and identify seven children: Nancy Eveline Linder-~-married threetimes; no children; applied for payment. Malerine Elizabeth 1inder---married once; died 1862;J no children. Emory Ogden Linder---married; seven children; died 1891; served in 2nd Cherokee Mounted Volunteers (C.S.A.) in Civil War; family applied for payment. John Ross Linder---married; nine children; died 1910; served in 1st Cherokee Mounted Volunteers {C.S.A.} in Civil War; applied for payment. Ann Eliza Linder--married twice; death date not certain; no children. Cinderella Linder---married; no children; applied for payment. Julius Caesar Linder---married; died 1876; no children; served in Cherokee Mounted Volunteers (C.S.A.) in Civil War.
