Yup Hawg.....the story could have gone many different ways. Kind of like the question as to whether Wyatt actually did kill Curly Bill....which will take you down another worm hole.

Funny we're all talking about Tombstone.....got a call from Terry Clanton last night. Terry is the great grand son of Ike Clanton. He's in town for a few days and wanted to get together. That'll be a riot as usual.

Wow! What a treat Mick. Perks of living in AZ it sounds. I'm sure he must have much knowledge about his heritage? Good for you. Share what you know and learn if so inclined. This is interesting.

There are lots of tree in close proximity...just pick one. Not sure it actually still survives but the trees here are very old...so I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of them.

I'm wondering if the stone pillar is supposed to be where the tree stood. The Tombstone Epitaph ran a story on July 22nd 1882 that said he was sitting on a large stone and was leaning against a tree.  https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn95060906/1882-07-22/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1880&index=0&rows=20&words=JOHN+John+RINGO+Ringo&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=Arizona&date2=1900&proxtext=John+Ringo&y=12&x=4&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1  It goes on to say what he was wearing, describing the wound etc. It's a good read.

I just saw and read your clip Hawg. John Yost found him? I wondered who had found him.

We don't talk Tombstone much....but a little always pops up. He's definitely up to speed with the history, though fairly tainted in his opinions. With Terry it's mostly car racing stuff, especially Gran Prix.

[Zulch]

Gran Prix huh? 🥱 oh well, to each their own.👍👍

Ike had kids?

[Miguel Loco]

Tell me if you see a family resemblence...lol.  Yes Ike had kids...

[Zulch]

Wow!!! I’ll say there’s a very good resemblance!! Thanks Mick👍👍 does he know any Earp offsprings assuming Earp had any?

[Hawg]

More than a resemblance. I've seen a newspaper pic of a family member from around 1864 that looks the same as I did when I was his age. I didn't think he was married let alone have kids.

[Zulch]

Whip it out Hawg if you have a picture like to see that👍👍 so we’re the OK Corral Clanton’s just brothers, cousins or?

LT Harry Hatcher. Co. A, 43rd Virginia Cavalry (Mosby's Rangers).

[Zulch]

Awesome Hawg!  That is great that you have that. I didn’t know he was part of Mosby’s Rangers.

Wyatt never had kids. But there are Earps around from the brothers. They occasionally show up in town occasionally. Newman Hays (Old Man) Clanton had 3 sons. Ike, Phin and Billy.

That's damn cool!

He started out in Co. A, 7th Virginia Cavalry and achieved the rank of Master Sgt. He transferred to Mosby in 1863 and achieved the rank of 1st Lt., Mosby called him the bravest of the brave and it is said it was engraved on his headstone but I have since seen a pic of his headstone and it is not unless it's on one of the other sides(tall 4 sided monument). In fact it only says 7th Va. cavalry. Several places have his name wrong. Some say it was Harrison, some say Harvey but I believe it was actually Harvee Henry Hatcher. Harvee was an oft used family name. Can't post pics.
