  • “Willie Or Billy” Claiborne, A.K.A
    OLD WEST STORUES William Floyd “Willie or Billy” Claiborne, a.k.a. “The Kid” Or was his name Calyborne? Clayborn? Or was it Claborn? Or did Billy even know. There are copies of his signature in at least two of these versions. All his trial documents list him as Clayborne. Viola Slaughter, wife of the noted Arizona lawman John Horton Slaughter, knew him well and spelled it as Claibourne. Well, we do know for sure that he was born in Mississippi. Or was it Louisiana? But more than likely it was in Alabama. The 1870 census shows records that would fit all three states. The record for Mississippi spells the name as Claborn, but the census takers were not the best for spelling. But this one seems to best fit the bill for Billy (Photo at right) and it shows that he was born in Alabama. He stated in court that he was born on October 21, 1860, and was from Mississippi. So we accept the date and the fact that he probably meant that he was raised in Mississippi. He migrated to the Devil’s River area of west Texas where some accounts say he killed two men. He became a cowboy and went to work for John Horton Slaughter. He was part of a crew that drove a Slaughter herd of cattle from Texas to Arizona and stayed. On October 1, 1881, in Charleston, Arizona Territory (now a ghost town), he shot and killed a blacksmith named James Hickey at Harry Queen’s Saloon. Exactly why he did it is not known.

  • THE CLANTONS and MCLAURYS Like Many of Their Contemporaries, the Clantons Were a Missouri Family That Migrated to the West Following the American Civil War
    TOMBSTONE PERSONALITIES THE CLANTONS and MCLAURYS Like many of their contemporaries, the Clantons were a Missouri family that migrated to the west following the American Civil War. In the 1870s Newman “Old Man” Clanton and his sons Phineas (Finn), Ike and William (Billy), relocated to Arizona and started a cattle ranch. By 1877 they operated the largest and most successful cattle ranch in the territory. They also were the epicenter of a large, unruly group of semi-organized criminals known to history as The Cowboys. Although not as organized and close knit as western myth has portrayed them, the Cowboys were a force to be reckoned with. The Clanton’s ranch was their unofficial headquarters and at one point or another, many of the Cowboys worked for the family. While the Clantons were primarily occupied with cattle rustling, other members of the gang robbed stagecoaches, banks and stores. The gang committed many of their crimes across the border in Mexico and Mexican authorities registered many official complaints with the United States, usually to no avail. The two most famous members of the Clanton family are Ike and Billy. Both were involved in the Gunfight at the OK corral, the bloody culmination of events that ended the feud between them and the Earps. The tensions between the two factions were a combination of political, economic and philosophical differences. The Clantons saw the Earps as interlopers who were trying to build their political careers at the expense of them and their Cowboy friends. Ike Clanton has been branded by legend as a blowhard and coward and history backs this up.

  • Chapter Eleven an Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881
    Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 1 Chapter Eleven An Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881 Tombstone, Arizona Territory, 1800s (Courtesy Tombstone Courthouse) Nellie stepped off the stage onto Allen Street’s dusty board sidewalk. She turned to catch her carpetbag when the stage driver lifted it down, but stumbled over the hem of her skirt into the path of a dark-haired man with a full mustache. The stranger grabbed Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 2 her waist. “Whoa. Welcome to Tombstone! Got your balance there, Ma’am?” Nellie pulled her traveling skirt out from under her button-down shoe and noticed the man wore a silver star on his blue shirt. He took her grip from the driver and set it on the sidewalk. “My name’s Virgil Earp.” Next to him two other men attempted not to laugh. Virgil smiled, and indicated the other two with his hand. “May I present my brother, Wyatt, and Doc Holliday?” Earp, not a common name. These must be the Earps who had served as lawmen in Dodge City. She’d read newspaper articles and one of T.J.’s dime novels about Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday stopped stamping his black boots to remove the dust, bowed at the waist and swept his bowler hat from his head. He smelled of leather and, what was that? Sage? “Indeed, welcome to Tombstone, lovely lady.” He drawled in a bass voice from under another wide black mustache. That made Nellie think of how Papa had always joked that men with mustaches were trying to hide something -- their upper lips.

  • The Cowboys-Henchmen Group
    TOMBSTONE PERSONALITIES THE COWBOYS- HENCHMEN GROUP The Cowboys were a gang of rustlers and stagecoach robbers that operated in and around the Tombstone area from roughly 1876 to 1881. Although legend has portrayed them as a well-organized criminal organization, their members were known to come and go at will and the activities committed by them were rarely well planned or coordinated. Most of the crimes were random jobs committed by individual members with no other goal than to seize loot that would later be squandered in the saloons, brothels and gambling parlors of the area’s boomtowns. The Clanton family’s ranch was the unofficial headquarters of the gang and the family led many of the large scale rustling operations. Although Newman “Old Man” Clanton was considered the leader of the gang, it was an honorary title at best. Usually, the gang would ride into Mexico, round up a few hundred head of cattle and drive them back across the border, selling them to various government and private contractors in and around the Tombstone area. They gained valuable combat experience in running fights against Mexican ranchers and Federales, Mexico’s national police force and border guard. The most heinous crime ever committed by the gang was the Skeleton Canyon Massacre. It was conspicuous not only for the barbarity of the attack but for also being the biggest operation ever mounted by the gang, with most of its members participating. The Cowboys ambushed a pack train of smugglers from Mexico who used the valley to move surreptitiously between Mexico and the United States.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

  • 2014 Annual Report
    YAVAPI COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT Sheriff Scott Mascher FULL SERVICE FOR 150 YEARS SINCE 1864 WORD FROM THE SHERIFF The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office mission is to enhance the quality of life by working cooperatively with the public to prevent crime, enforce the law, preserve the peace, and provide a safe environment through professional education programs aimed at promoting community involvement in various community services and crime prevention education. Currently the Sheriff’s Office has over 400 authorized positions. Of that number, 139 are certified officers assigned throughout the county and 210 are assigned to the Camp Verde Jail. The other positions are various support positions assigned throughout the county. The Sheriff’s Office also has over 1,000 volunteers at our disposal to assist use in our mission at any time. The Agency has three very distinct divisions that manage the specialty services offered by the Sheriff’s Office. The Detention Services Division manages both detention facilities, Camp Verde and Prescott. The Law Enforcement Services Division manages the field operations of certified officers throughout the county. The Support Services Division manages the entire agency’s records, both jail and law enforcement, along with countywide communications/dispatch services and the recruitment and training of personnel for the entire agency. The Sheriff’s Office has not published an Annual Report since 2003 and I believe it is a notable resource for the public so I decided to create one. I wanted to take a moment, thank everyone for their support of the Sheriff’s Office, and share some of the accomplishments this agency has achieved.
