    YOUR Petitioner, Peter Bain, would state and show from the proof submitted to the Commission that
    he is a Cherokee by decent and by blood having been born in Dekalb County, State of Tennessee on the 10th day of August, 1842. My fathers name was Henry Bain. My mothers name was Mary Boland,
    daughter of John R. Boland. That I now reside in Garland County, Arkansas and have resided there
    for 20 years. And he avers these facts can be established by proof to the satisfaction of the Commission under such rules and regulations as it may prescribe and he further avers that these facts being proven he is entitled to be adjudged under the laws of such Nation and the laws of the Congress of the United States and the treaties of such Nation with the United States, a citizen so such Nation, with all rights, privileges and protection of the citizenship in such Nation. Wherefore, he herewith respectfully submit to the consideration of the Honorable Commission such proof and on the hearing he be adjudged entitled to such citizenship and his name be placed upon the proper roll as a citizen of such Nation.

    Signature: Peter Bain (his own writing)
    State of Arkansas
    SS
    County of Garland
    Now on the 24th day of August, 1896, personally appeared before me Frank C. Place a County Clerk
    for said county and state, Peter Bain, who being duly sworn up his oath, states that the facts set forth
    in the foregoing petition are correct and true. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 24th day of
    August,
    1896.
    Frank C. Place
    County Clerk
    Peter and family had hired the law firm of Hubbard, Garland, & Watts to make the application.
    On Sept 8, 1896. Application was Rejected by A.S. McKennon, Commission for the 5 Civilized Tribes.
    Due to lack of evidence to show that he was of Cherokee Blood, but not to descendants of Applicant.
    (This could have meant that either the wife of John R. Boland was Indian or Peter's wife Rosilla
    Sanders.)

    Wm. Ruel Bain - May 28, 1999
    I attended the Rodgers Reunion near Waco earlier this month and visited with several of the cousins including Edwin Brownlow. Edwin was told Rosilla Sanders Bain was Choctaw. He was asked if this could have meant Rosilla's mother in law, Mary Boland, and he said he was certain he had been told it was Rosilla that was Indian.
    Edwin also told this story about Peter during the war. Because he was a good shot Peter was in charge of hunting for food for the 12 men in his unit. One day he only killed 11 squirrels and shot a wood rat to make up the difference in what was needed. He dressed the rat like the squirrels and put it with the rest of the meat. According to Edwin none of the others knew they may have eaten rat. My Grandfather, Oscar, hunted with Peter many times in Arkansas and Oklahoma. In one of the few stories he told us about Peter, he said Peter would be annoyed if you didn't hit the squirrel in the eye because you were ruining some of the meat. Once while they were hunting west of Valliant they shot a squirrel that fell into a pool or creek below the tree. This was winter but Peter had Grandpa go in and get the squirrel.
    In one of Peter's visits to his daughter's family at Waco one of the girls cooking breakfast for Peter was worried about how to cook his eggs. He told them if they cooked them too hard he would put butter on them to soften them, and if they cooked them too soft he would put butter on them to harden them. I think he liked butter on his eggs.
