The way I remember the story from Grandma Sara, her Dad Stars/Stiers Huskey married to Mary Ann Lowe was " a full blooded Cherokee Chief" ok maybe my young mind heard chief.
Small problem ..using the above link...Huskey in the last name box
No matches found, please try again.
But, I found this via Ancestry web site 1896 Dawes Applications page 117
21 Huskeys
1 Mary and 1 Melvin..Stars/Stiers Melvin Huskey and Mary Ann Lowe ?
So my guess is they filed a application but it was declined. I would rather be 0% than a $5 Indian.

About Dawes Commission Index (overturned), 1896
This is an index to over 14,000 records of individuals in the Five Civilized Tribes that applied for citizenship under the Act of 1896. The Five Civilized Tribes include the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and the Seminole. Each record includes the individual's name tribe, and case number. This compilation, in effect an Indian census, was also used as the basis for the allotment of tribal lands to individual Indians.
