I am looking for any information I can get on Festus Walrus/Brown. He was a full blood Choctaw man. His fathers name MAY have been Testus or Vestus Walrus/Brown. They were all from Greenleaf, Oklahoma. Festus was born around 1861 or so. He was 18 in 1880 when he married Sarah "Louisa" Wallace/Wallis. They moved to Texas. Festus ran with the Jesse James gang (I was told) and he was shot and killed by US Marshalls in the Badlands, he was 52 or 53 when he was shot and killed. That was in about 1905-1914 or so. I am not sure where he is buried. Texas or Oklahoma. Rebecca

Are we talking about the Badlands of South Dakota?
