Robert Galbreath, Jr.
Robert Galbreath, Jr. (1863–1953) was a pioneer entrepreneur, wildcatter and oilman in Oklahoma. A native of Ohio, he traveled to Kansas and California in the late 19th century. Returning East by way of Indian Territory, he participated with his brother, Herman, in the Land Rush of 1889 for the Unassigned Lands. Afterward, he sold his claim and settled in the new town of Edmond. He became an early wildcatter and oil producer. His most notable accomplishment was the discovery of the Glenn Pool oilfield.〔( O'Dell, Larry. ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''.

==Early life==
Robert Galbreath, Jr. was born to Robert and Sarah A. (née Hill) Galbreath on a farm in Pickaway County, Ohio on December 23, 1863.〔(Thoburn, Joseph B. ''A Standard History of Oklahoma''. Volume IV. ) American Historical Society. 1916.〕 He evidently lived there until he decided to go to Kansas in 1884, where he met with David L. Payne. Payne would later achieve notability as leader of the Boomers (Oklahoma settlers) in Indian Territory. However, Galbreath did not join the movement, but traveled on to California in 1889. It would seem that he did not find what he was seeking, because he returned to Indian Territory in 1889. Robert was joined by his younger brother, Herman. They entered the 1889 Land Rush for the Unassigned Lands. The pair claimed land near the present town of Hennessey. They soon sold the claim and moved to Edmond.〔
