"I've lived my lifetime here. My forefathers have been up and down the Virgin Valley here ever since 1877. All these rights that I claim, have been created through pre-emptive rights and beneficial use of the forage and the water and the access and range improvements," Bundy said.

Clark County property records show Cliven Bundy's parents moved from Bundyville, Arizona and bought the 160 acre ranch in 1948 from Raoul and Ruth Leavitt.

Water rights were transferred too, but only to the ranch, not the federally managed land surrounding it. Court records show Bundy family cattle didn't start grazing on that land until 1954.

2. "Cliven Bundy's parents moved from Bundyville, Arizona"

His family has a town named after them? The 'persecuted' Mormons settled in the west back in 1847, they killed the Indians and took their land. There is a movie, http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sweet_vengeance/ That shows some of the entitlement Mormons believe is their due and Bundy seems to be displaying now.

But yes, Bundy would have people believing his family has owned more of the land and for much longer.
