Eliza MOHAWK and daughter Bertha E FATTY JIMERSON-Seneca Indians on Allegany & Cattaraugus Reservations

Surnames: Mohawk Fatty Jimerson
I am researching my husband's line through his Great Grandmother, Bertha E Fatty b. 1879. Bertha was the daughter of Eliza b. 1857-maiden name MAY have been Fatty but I'm not sure. If Fatty was her MARRIED name, then I don't know Eliza's maiden name. ANYWAY, Eliza married Moses Mohawk and the three of them are listed on 10 US Indian Censuses in a row as a family unit, with Bertha being listed as Moses' stepdaughter. Bertha married Jacob Martin Jimerson in Aug 1899 and they had 11 children together. The last Indian census I find Bertha on is 1924 with her husband and 5 of their children.

Try the 1930 U.S. Federal Census --- the "normal" one. Also try it in 1920. I have often found Indian families enumerated on both the Indian census and the normal 10-year census.
