The details of the Cherokee experience in east Texas are described in a legal document filed on behalf of the Cherokee’s descendants by attorney George W. Fields Jr. in 1921.

Coe Maine Biographies Excerpted from Maine Resources, Attractions, and Its People: A History. In Two Volumes
 These two volumes of biographical essays appeared originally as Volumes 3 and 4 of Harrie B. Coe's Maine Resources, Attractions, and Its People, published in 1928. The subjects of these 1,400 biographies, most of whom were born during the third quarter of the 19th century, are men who were either natives of Maine or who spent the formative parts of their lives there. As is characteristic of mugbooks of this era, most of the sketches in Maine Biographies give the subject's place and date of birth, his educational background and military service, and then his career, civic interests, church affiliation, hobbies, and so on. In almost every case, the author furnishes the names of the subject's parents, spouse, children, and spouse's parents, usually citing the subject's date of marriage and the dates or places of birth and death of at least these three generations of family members. In most instances, the subject's lineage can be traced back to the first half of the 19th century.

Scott New York Alien Residents, 1825-1848
 Until 1825 an alien resident of New York could neither hold nor bequeath property, but by an Act of the State Legislature, April 21, 1825, he was permitted to hold real property provided he deposed that he was a resident of the U.S. and intended to become a naturalized citizen. These alien depositions, which were filed in the office of the Secretary of State of New York, for the years 1825-1848, provide some or all of the following pieces of information: the alien's place of residence, regularly by county and often by village, town, or city, is stated; country of birth, sometimes with name of county or department, is often given; date of birth, the age when the alien arrived in the U.S., or when he deposed, is occasionally recorded; date of arrival may be found; and status of a woman (single, married, or widowed) is usually set forth, as is the name of a husband, with his trade or profession.
