It's a complicated group including a connection to Union Captain Chief Billy Bowlegs of Ft Myers. It seems were are connected to the Pinkertons and all their stories including the Homestead Strike in Pittsburgh to Butch and the Sundance Kid blowing up that train with the Mosler Safe. So if your Myers family ran with the Youngers, well you got to belong with this group. There is also a connection to Lawrence Murphy and William McCloskey. If you can remember, William McCloskey was killed by Billy the Kid which started all the trouble in Lincoln County. I have way more on this and it all started with a fellow my the name of John Kennedy who was to be Abraham Lincoln's running mate. He was the Secretary of the Navy under President Mallard Fillmore.
