- When two different cities, in two different states claim to have the body of the same man, well, you know there’s going to be a tale to tell. We won’t tell you which place has the story right, but we will share the story nonetheless…
Brushy Bill Roberts was born August 1879. Billy the Kid was killed July 1881. So how could Brushy Bill Roberts be Billy the Kid when he was 2 years old at the time of Billy the Kid's death
My grampa is 91 and he still resembles his fotos from his youth.
Brushy looks absolutely nothing like Billy the kid, not even kin..
Right, no matter how much weight lossed or gained or how many more years, Ears don't change and in those times the Jaw and facial structure doesn't change
If you look up both of them you will also see that billy was older than him .
Brushy Bill was Debunked and just from Eye Site Alone Ear's don't change no matter how much weight gained or lossed or age
He wasn’t Billy the kid.
Thank-U very much 4 this neutral presentation, Andrew; U explained it very simply, and quite succinctly. it is what it is, and it was what it was; who's to say who was William Henry Roberts in his younger days, except he himself? And Boy Howdy: Didn't He KNOW!!!
Clearly, Joe Hines/Jesse Evans/William Campbell knew what he was saying, when he stated in 1948 that of the original 6 Silver City Boys who rode to Lincoln County during the Autumn of 1877, only himself and 2 others were living: Jim McDaniels, and Henry McCarty, aka, the Antrim Kid.
Ironically, it was none other than William V Morrison, a Great-Grandson of Ft. Sumner Rancher Pete Maxwell's Father, Lucien Bonaparte Maxwell, who happened to be trying to resolve a land inheritance claim 4 a law firm, is the one who ended up revealing to the World, with the help of respected Old West History Professor Clarence L. Sonnichsen, that indeed, the reason why this peculiar old cowboy in Hico TX was living off-the-grid, was that he actually was who Joe Hines/Jesse Evans claimed him to be: Billy the Kid.
Billy the Kid Museum curators Wayne & Sue Land of Hico aren't runnin' a tourist gimmick: They simply are telling what U reported, as uncovered by William V Morrison, and published by UTEP Professor Sonnichsen: Billy the Kid escaped the crooked arm of the Lincoln County Law yet again, on the night of July 14th, 1881, at Pete Maxwell's Ranch.
Daniel A. Edwards had good reason to publish his follow-up on Morrison's & Sonnichsen's 'Alias, Billy the Kid' (1955) in 2014, on the heels of W.C. Jameson's 'Beyond the Grave' (1995).
All of these authors are onto something; it's no wonder that Sue Land finally became a believer in 2014: "Brushy Bill" was living-off-the-grid 4 a reason; he was hiding from a former life, hiding from a Legend that had become much more than his own meager existence.
It all would've continued that way and quietly gone to the graves with these Lincoln County 'wild west' legends, had Joe L. Hines not spilled the beans to legal investigator William V. Maxwell in 1948.
It's no wonder then that 'Brushy' Bill Roberts had all the scars & stories to support Joe Hines' claim. According to author Dan Edwards, Joe Hines ended up inheriting his deceased brother's "Evans' Land," and that's how legal eagle William V Morrison ended up on one William Henry Roberts' meager porch one spring morning in rural Hamilton County TX.
It all makes sense then why 89-year-old 'Brushy Bill' didn't possess a Bank Account nor a Social Security income, not even an SSN, this according to Daniel Edwards. Brushy's gun-shot scars & knife wounds weren't a ruse: They were real. that's why he knew that Tom Folliard was from Uvalde TX, and that Sally Chisum was "Old John"s niece, not his daughter; and there's more: Brushy claimed that pot-shot Roberts was a mean old man, and that Sheriff Brady had kept his beloved pearl-handled revolvers, that he had bought 4 $25 in San Antonio.
So there's no surprise that Brushy's description of the Lincoln County Jail matched the original blueprints of the structure, discovered in 2019. That's how Brushy recognized Mrs John Abel immediately, and that's why Severo Gallegos recognized the brown specks in Brushy's Blue eyes. Only Billy the Kid would've both known all these people & met all of these standards. If only we can track down a photo of Billy Barlow, many more of Brushy's skeptics might become believers in his 1st-person accounts of the Lincoln County War.
Brushy bill was not billy the kid.
No sir
Yes he was
Brushy Bill had plenty to show proof including speaking fluently Spanish, but people don't say that
Tony fox. You're wrong
How come there's no pictures of Billy in a box and put kn show like they did with the outlaws back then ? Everyone would have wanted to see that picture for proof ? It would have been big news all around the world
I'm so tired of seeing pictures of Ollie Roberts, claiming to be William Bonney. Where do these people live in fantasy land?
ACCORDING TO BRUSHY BILL, HE DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEN, WHY WOULD HE SEEK, SUCH AN ANCIENT, PARDON????!!!! HE WAS ALREADY, FREE OF IT, WHY OUT, HIMSELF????!!!! IT WAS, A MATTER, OF HONOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THAT WHY, I THINK BRUSHY, WAS REALLY, THE KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAD, A LOT OF, REGRETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aint that a ring on a stinky finger 20
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
'Way out in New Mexico long long ago
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
In old Silver City he went to the bad
'Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man
There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
Songs about Billy, their boy bandit king
'Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men!
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
He said to his friend, "I'm not satisfied
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two!"
I'll sing you how Billy the Kid met his fate
The bright moon was shinin', the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
The young outlaw's life is now come to an end
There's many a man with a face fine and fair
Who start out in life with a chance to be square
Just like poor Billy they wander astray
They'll lose their lives in the very same way!
Its called "billy the kid"
@Will Nate marty robbins
The croquet picture has never been authenticated as Billy.
Yes, maybe. But he most likely is.
It cannot be authenticated because there is no provenance. The site of the photo is not known, and it's definitely not the old Tunstall ranch as has been claimed. Historically it is unverifiable.
Yep he was Bill the kid
Why I do not think Brushy Bill was Billy the Kid, I do wonder why Pat Garrett buried him so quickly. That said, think about it, when Jesse James died, he was on display, along with John Dillinger etc. Look at the Daltons at Coffeeville KS. Back in the old days, they put you on display like a 10 pt buck
Garrett didn't bury Billy quickly the local people did. As soon as Garrett killed Billy he headed for the tall timber.
@@stevemccarty6384 I guess my point is, usually when they have a high profile case they want every one to know he is dealt with. Like Ted Bundy. I know they were friends once, but it still needed to be done.
Billy was not so well known as we modern folk like to think. In the NM territory, yes. Nationally, barely. There was no photographer closer than a 2-3 day ride, each way, so no photo could be taken. But in a small village of about 200 people, most all of whom knew Billy and most were friendly with him, why would Garrett display the body like a trophy? Garrett and his deputies, rather, went out of their way to state how they barricaded themselves in the house all night, fully expecting an assault by some of the Kid's friends in town. One such Fort Sumner resident said that, had a leader been present, that is exactly what would have happened. The fact remains that the towns folk put Billy's body on display through the night to hold a wake, to honor him. No one was thinking "trophy" like a 10 pt buck. They buried their friend the next day after the midnight shooting.
@@Rollin_L Nice to know.
Pat garret did not kill billy,he died of heart attack that's true from Jesse James cousin she was there when he died,all other are stories were just that
He looks like Sloth from the Goonies
She said his mother died when he was 3...I have never heard that...every account I've read said he was about 14
I guess we will never know 100% the real truth, everyone is dead.
Yeah there is nothing to compare brushy bill's remains unforutenly
Ok here one for you billy the kid was born in New York city and roberts was born in Texas and roberts was 2 years old when Billy was killed. That is why roberts is not even close to being Billy the kid.
It's all in the gun rifle
The Real Kid is here in NM and always will be anyone who believes that Brushy was Billy is smoking some good shit!!!
I could care less if Brushy Bill was or wasn't the kid. About Billy being in New Mexico,well no. Says who? The state of New Mexico. Any problems with that contact the state of New Mexico.Ask for a official document of his death. They don't have one.As far as New Mexico is concerned,he never died there.This is documented. However,i understand why some people need to continue to believe in Santa Clause,the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
Brushy bill roberts was not billy the kid
No way. Funny how we never see Brushy Bill's teeth. That'd be a dead ringer and he knew it. That's why you never see him show his teeth.
Nonsense!
It's sad when one believes the lie that they tell. Roberts even sad that he road with the James gang.
Hallway near bedroom
Ft. Sumner. GUARANTEED!
Brushy and billy has the same lean mouth it learns to the right ,
Mabe but roberts was 2 when Billy was killed
Yeah and there were a lot of Elvis look alikes also and he died in 1977
Brushy was a male and so was Billy so it must be true. LOL!
If that is a joke that is no funny
Brushy bill was NOT BILLY BONNEY brushy much taller wrong eye color wrong hair color brushy born in 1879 making him 2 when Billy Bonney was killed Bonney was killed in 1881 by the coward pat Garett Case closed
Exactly. Those who say Brushy Bill Roberts was Billy the Kid need only to look at the year he was born and BOOM Bill Roberts claim is debunk
That picture is backwards
🙄 No.
Brushy was NOT Billy.
However...I am pondering whether John Miller was. I believe it is possible John Miller might have been...🤔
I am a history nut, who was John Miller, not Deacon Jim was it?
I totally agree
Brushy had brown eyes billy the kid had blue eyes!!!!!
You knew brushy Bill? What source are you making this claim by? I want to look it up. Not saying he did or didn't. I just want to read or research your source to this claim.
@@iamheandheisinorsemen2605 Brushy bill by Roy l haws proof that his claim was a hoax … by the way, I don’t appreciate your sarcasm!!!!!😡
@@RoRo-kc8zv Sarcasm? Sounds like paranoia which I don't tolerate. That tells me you jump to assumptions and conclusions pretty quick without evidence. Reacting before thinking. That deserves a hole between those two thieves just inside them two temples you carry around upon your shoulders. Have a good life and stay safe.
LMAO
Ears not connected at the bottom like billy the kid roberts is not billy the kid
Brushy was a wannabe.. To many facts discredit him.
Brushy bill is not Billy the kid!!!! Plain and simple
Sorry guys. Im billy the kid. Now you have the truth!
Fort Sumner New Mexico just outside Maxwells bedroom
The only documented picture of William H. Bonney is his death photo.
That is not billy the kid you all need to stop lying to people for Tourism its wrong. Billy was shot and killed by pat Garret end of story.
Close minded much
Brushy Bill is not the kid! false claimant and liar. He was far too young to be him and has no resemblance to him.
Totally agree
Doesnt look like him
Census records prove he wasn’t Billy.
Billy was born in New York.
Brushy was born in Texas.
Look at a young Brushy and young Billy. Literally no resemblance.
Which census records shows BTK was born in New York ??? Oh. They dont excist.....stop writing blatant lies on the internet.
No way was brushy bill the kid.
Oh for gods sake you can trace brush bills life all the way back he's not billy the kid
Brushy Bill was not Billy the kid he's just an imposter and a wannabe
Billy the Kid was a woman.
Bet you wouldn't of said that to his face if you had met him in late 1870s !
@@danielblackburn1241 I can see that you aren't much of a gambler. Besides, I don't think it is me that is putting the idea forward.
