Very often, one sees relationship charts showing family connections to notable ancestors and cousins. While one should not make light of the significance of both the heredity or environmental values contributed to the current generation by those who have gone before, there seems to be a preponderance of 'good' folk who are claimed as kin. At times one should sit back and view history, noting that the notorious lived along side, or at least nearby, the notable.
It is often difficult to find relationships to the notorious. One reason is that many of the notorious died without having families of their own. More often, however, family traditions and history hide the 'black sheep' in the bottom dresser drawer. It's good to see an organization like the International Black Sheep Society recognizes these kin who are often neglected in genealogical circles. To provide a wee bit of balance to the Notable Cousins claimed on this site, a few Outlaws In-Law are presented here.
Selected links are provided to some of the web sites which give additional information on the related outlaws. For the record (and for the web spiders), the outlaws here are Johnny Ringo, Bill Dalton, Bob Dalton, Em Dalton, Frank Dalton, Grat Dalton, Bob Younger, Cole Younger, Jim Younger, John Younger, Frank James, Jesse James, Clarence Hite and Wood Hite.
