2nd Kansas Infantry

James Dooley is my great-great-grandfather and I am researching his background for my heritage. I need to know what kind of Indian he was and any information you might have pertaining to him. I know he recieved land from the government but I need a #. I do not know whether it is called a dauels roll or any other type roll #. Currently I live in Scott County and have an excellent job offer if I can prove his Indian rights. Thank you. Margo Denton
