Robert W. SCOTT and family, William Lloyd SCOTT and family, Hester Jane (SCOTT) ESTUS and family, and Mountford J SCOTT and family are all believed to have participated in the 1889 Oklahoma Landrun. They all homesteaded near Mulhall OK. I have copies of the homestead papers for Robert W. and Mountford J SCOTT-my direct line. A family story has it that Mountford J found a Sooner on the land he wanted to claim during the Landrun and traded his saddle for the right to stake it.
