General Notes (Husband)

1832--In Worcester v. State of Georgia, the Supreme Court rules that the
federal government, not the states, has jurisdiction over Indian territories.
The case concerns a missionary living among the Cherokees, Samuel A. Worcester,
who was jailed for refusing to comply with a Georgia law requiring all whites
residing on Indian land to swear an oath of allegiance to the state. In ruling
against Georgia's actions, Chief Justice John Marshall writes that Indian
tribes must be treated "as nations" by the national government and that state
laws "can have no force" on their territories. Defying the court, Georgia keeps
Worcester in jail, and President Andrew Jackson, when asked to correct the
situation, says, "The Chief Justice has made his ruling; now let him enforce
it."
Hugh Wilson and most of his family were at the Monrow Mission.
In the minutes of the Monrow Mission in Mississippi, Samuel Cunningham and
wife, William and John, asked to be dismissed because they were moving west.
Was this three brothers or father, mother and sons? The name Samuel does not
appear again in the family.
Look for Samuel in KY. Arr TX 1836 Shelby Co.
