Here is what information I have at the moment: b 07 May 1887 Pine Bluff, , AR d 15 Apr 1965 Ft. Towsend, Choctaw, OK (buried here, may have died in Paris, Lamar, TX) Married Frances M HENRY on 29 June 1913 in , Lamar, TX. Run away from home after a severe beating at about 12 years of age. Work somewhere in Ft Towsend Indian Territory (a place called Red Road) until he came of age. Then was working as a cowboy on a ranch in TX when he meet my Great-Grandmother around 1910 to 1913. They had 7 children, 5 lived to adulthood. Thelma Marie, Louie Willie, Leon May, "Bonnie" Cleo, Jewett, Living WEST, Swanie Lenore. Walter Judson WEST preferred Judd W. WEST, and his mother's name may be Mary or Marion (may not be spelled exactly that way) Hardin. I know that he has some Step-Brothers/Sisters and 1/2 Brothers/Sisters. I also was told that a member of his family rode with the James gang and that there is a possibility that he may be indirectly related through a Step-Uncle/Aunt or Uncle/Aunt.
