May Melvina Robberson Stephenson,
daughter of Newton Saye Robberson and Margaret Melvina Stinebaugh Robberson.
Like a breathtaking scene from the Academy Award Winning Hollywood movie, Cimarron (Best Picture 1931; & remade in 1960), May's family lived this history, & her parents took part in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. The land run started at high noon on April 22, 1889, with an estimated 50,000 people lined up to rush into the territory and claim homestead lots of up to 160 acres each. This land was considered some of the best unoccupied public land in the United States. May's parents claimed land in Cleveland County, Oklahoma. Provided a settler lived on the land and improved it, the settler could then receive the title to the land.
