My grand father told me he use to hide out at our family ranch. My great grand dad was a Texas Ranger back in the day. The old ranch is still in our family. There is a lot of history in that old house. It is located out side of Marlin Tx. I don't know how true the story is. Kinda hard to believe

 

[Sallysue]

Bell Falls area and thats close to Marlin. Might be something to it you never know

I lived in Texas from 1942 until 2007. According to the family history, when my grandfather and grandmother were in Missouri, Jesse and Frank used stop by and eat with them. They always left a silver dollar under their plates. The story goes that because they were friends with Jesse and Frank (and some other members of the gang), the law and others made it unpleasant for them and they moved near Alvarado, Texas. I don't know the dates, but my dad was next to oldest of the children. He was born in September, 1909. When I have a little time, I love to read about these old stories that was someway tied to my family or the area where I grew up (Hillsboro/Waco area) and the other central Texas areas. Sallysue, I read another article that you posted a while back (can't think what it was now); really enjoyed it. Pardon the old age memory loss but I will check out the 'Jesse James Death's Hoax and Buried Treasure' site. Thanks. I appreciate any and all stories about the 'old days'!!

I ran into an older man that had old clipping from the paper about bonnie and clydet . He also had a hand written letter that clyde wrote

Jesse Woodson James was living about 10 miles outside of Brownwood in rural central Texas in November, 1879. Here is the letter to the editor of a Missouri newspaper which documents it. James's letter is in the first column.
