| Here is what I have on Jah(Jaah) Seger. This is from the 1891-92 C&A
Allotment Lists. No. 1041,Jah Seger, 33 yrs. old, E 1/2 of SW 1/4 101/2-

There is a list with no date that list Neotha Seger as 1/2 Arapaho and
1/2 white. His allotment No. says 1409. On the June 30, 1900,C&A Census,
by Geo. W. H. Stouch, Major USA, shows on the Arapaho list---No. 625 Neotha
Seger, husb., 36 yrs. old; No. 626 Short Woman, wife, 28 yrs. old; No.
627 John H. Seger, son, 5 yrs.old; No. 628 Charles Seger, son, 3 yrs.old;
No. 629 Henry Seger, son, 1 yr. old.
I only find Jah with one "a" on the documents and Neotha with a "o" and spotty spelling with the "a" here and there in the cesus and agency letters. John Sipe
