I am in the last chapter of OUTLAWS ON HORSEBACK by Harry Sinclair Drago who asserts its factuality and purports to debunk a number of myths perpetuated, in large part, by such largely-fictional rags as The National Police Gazette. It's good reading and well-documented, I believe. It has an excellent chapter on Henry Starr (no kin of Belle's, by the way).

I just got home from two days of reading (rather searching through) old photographs at the Western History Center at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. There were several photos in their collections of Henry Starr.

Has anyone yet run across any convincing documentation of Al Spencer and Grover Durrill ever being members of Starr's gang? It's certainly possible, of course, but I'm very skeptical about these identifications.

Hi,

I have found no documentation to prove or disprove Spencer or Durrill ran with Henry Starr. In his later years, Henry seemed to recruit relatively unknowns in the field of banitry. Al's only daughter never stated Al being with Henry Starr when I interviewed her some years ago. At Stroud and Harrison bank robberies, Henry was shot and captured, finally dying at Harrison, Arkansas.

I would love to get some photos or any information at all about the family. Henry was my grandmother's cousin. Sam Starr was her uncle and Old Tom Starr was her grandfather.
Her dad was Tom Jr.
I have just found all of this out this year and am trying very hard to get some information on their lives. My dad was taken away from their home and put into oprhanage along with his borthers and sisters. I never heard anything about my family from Oklahoma.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much!

Newcomb, who was supposedly born in Missouri in 1833. He said that he had a brother, who lived in Indian Territory, who was married to a Cherokee? woman called "Black Jane", & that this brother couldn't leave Indian Territory, or he would be arrested. Thanks, Also, I used to be neighbors with a guy who was related to Belle Starr. He said either his Dad or Grandfather(I believe Dad) remembered being in her house, while she was cooking, wearing an apron and a pistol!



Wow!
That's so cool!
I am looking for just this type of candid information. I am trying to find out about my family.
Sam Starr was my great uncle. My father lost touch with his family and so I never learned much about them. He died when I was just seven, anyway, so there wasn't much time.
But I think he was not inclined to talk about them for some reason. I want to know as much as I can so that I can record the information for my children and theirs. I may continue the manuscript my mother has begun about my father's life and include his family's history.
Any information or source referrals would be so much appreciated!!
Thank you.
