Notes for ARCHILLA SMITH:
John Howard Payne acting as court reporter in 1842 recorded the trial for murder Cherokee Nation vs Archilla Smith.Payne's report has been published as "Indian Justice", edited by Grant Foreman.The day before the trial Archilla and his guard [at this time the Cherokees had no jail] were guests atthe home of Principal Chief John Ross.The Judge in the trial was Chief Justice Jesse Bushyhead; the prosecutor was Jesse's brother Isaac; and Archilla's defence lawyer was Stand Watie.In the trial Smith was sentenced to be executed, was released on his own recognizance, and appeared on the date of execution for sentence to be carried out.[Under Cherokee custom if Archilla had fled the victim's family [clan] were permitted to wreak vengence upon Archillas' family.]
Archilla Smith introduced the resolution at Running Water Council in 1835 which identified by their votes the pro-treaty and anti-treaty Cherokees.

(Curator Note: James Hi is adds a 7th child of Archill and Agnes
ARTHUR SMITH, b. Abt. 1826.

• Clan: Ani'-Ga'tâge'wi = Kituah or Wild Potato (Wa-Wli Vann)

This person is possible. While not shown in Starr, James Hicks goal was to update and improve Starr. But a note in WikiTree says that “ The 1835 Cherokee Census shows the family of eight living on Raccoon Creek (now Georgia). [2]”. 2. ↑ 1835 Cherokee Census. Transcript, Oklahoma Chapter, Trail of Tears Association, Park Hill Oklahoma, 2002. p. 62. This would seem to say a wife and six children. If Arthur were born in 1826, and the youngest daughter born in 1838 after the census, this timeline would work.)
