This summons and petition relate to the case of the United States versus Jesse Donahoo (Donaho) for settling on Miami Tribal Land in Lykins County, Kansas Territory on November 1, 1857. A petition filed by Kansas Attorney General Alson C. Davis states Donahoo is being sued for one thousand dollars. In the mid-19th century, the Miami Nation was relocated to a reservation in Lykins (present-day Miami) and Linn Counties in Kansas and later to Oklahoma.
