Long story short as a result of an agreement between the United States and the Creek Indians, Creeks, and their former slaves, were allotted a plot of land. Rector’s father leased her allotment to the Devonian Oil Company of Pittsburgh. Wildcat oil driller B.B. Jones produced a “gusher” that brought in 2500 barrels a day.
