  These are scans of; LEFT - The Letter of Intent for United States citizenship that was submitted to the Jefferson (New York state) County Clerk of Courts by Cyrus Isabell on the 29th of January, 1870. It is an excellent example of the first step in the US Naturalization process of that time. This petition was entered at the county of residence and often (but not always) within a short time after settling in this country. RIGHT - It was then followed by the actual act of Naturalization petition which was submitted to the county clerk of courts where the person resided at that time. Cyrus Isabel made this second application at Oconto County, WI. When his citizenship petition was accepted by the court, he was sworn in and received this certificate of validation which says this process was finalized on the " 7th of November, in the year nineteen hundred and thirteen, and of our Independence, the one hundred and thirty-seven". These two petitions are often found in different counties and states, as the applicant traveled for employment or to find suitable farmland. In many cases, the second petition was never submitted and the Letter of Intent is all that can be found. Women did not apply for citizenship until after 1919. Until then, they received their citizenship from the nearest male relative, or through a male owner of a factory that employed them. If they lost their job, or married a man who was not a citizen, they lost their citizenship, even if they were born in the US. (note added by RITA |
