Surnames: Garlington, Robbins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CaB.2ACI/541 Message Board Post: Since the five land runs were already over, would it still have been possible for a person to stake a claim for free land in Indian Territory as late as 97 through 99? I know the lotter of 1901 opened things up again, but that is too late for my search. Would appreciate any notes from history buffs. Thanks, Fred
