Nitakechi 22 sections
Mushulatubbee 40 sections
Leflore 33.5 sections
Lived outside CN (mostly near Jackson) 9.25 sections
Unknown 7 sections

Out of Nitakechi district, 5 sections went to him and his son, 4 sections went to full bloods without a known relationship, and the remaining sections went to members of the Kunsha family group, see below (Juzans, Oklahoma, Tappenahoma, and two Garlands) 4 sections also went to Allen Yates and his wife.

Out of Mushulatubbee district 6 sections went to him and his sons, 3 sections to the James family, the Nail family had 3 sections, 1 section went to Choccohuma and the rest went to either the Pitchlynn or Folsom family except the 1.5 sections to Robert M. Jones

Out of Leflore District, of those where location is known, 4 sections went to full bloods, and the bulk went to the Leflore family and their relatives. The Vaughn Family group got 5.5 sections, and the Turner Brashears group got 3 sections.

The signers included 3 from Mushulatubbee district, 7 from Nitakechi and 5 from Leflore and one that I can't determine if he's from Nitakechi or Leflore, of the signers, only 3 maybe 4 did not benefit from the supplement.
