black sheep relatives
do you have any notorius relatives? apparently chazzy does.
my mom's great-uncle was a baptist preacher. he had a local radio show. he had been married for 40 years, but his wife lost her sight. so he hired a woman to help her.
wasn't long before the helper and the preacher were doing naughty things in the chicken-house(?). don't ask me.
then one day, his wife got dead. she had been shot. twice. preacher claimed his was trying to get some bullets out of his varmit gun. it didn't work right, so he had to use a piece of wire, and accidently shot his wife. twice. in the head.
he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. he was let out when he was 75, because he had got too fat for the prison. his story was in one of the old detective magazines.
personaly, i think he ought to of got thirty days. in the electric chair. for shooting a blind woman and having a stupid story.

Re: black sheep relatives
none too serious, couple questionable shoots... couple relatives just got out of the pen.... most my family is boarderline but just small stuff so far... guess the best i can do is my grandpa's uncle jesse james (not that one, this is just his first name) was sort of on the run and about that time jesse's pop dissappeared, our family name changed, and they homesteaded here in SD. haven't figured out exactly what they were runnin from yet but 1880 sd wasn't exactly civilized so the records are few and far between.

Re: black sheep relatives
My great, great, great grandfather was George "Big Nose" Parrot. George was a rustler with a big nose, hence his name. Somewhere along the line, he met up with the James Brothers, Jesse and Frank. Along with a guy named Dutch Charley, they decided to rob a train. They probably would have robbed a bank, but back then Wyoming had more trains than banks. Today, of course, they would have robbed a mini-mart.
So, they hopped on their horses and headed off for a lonely stretch of train tracks, where Big Nose convinced the others they should mess with the tracks to derail the train. "Then it will be a breeze to stick 'em up," he probably said, or something like that. And the other guys probably said, "Good idea, Big Nose."
Well, as they were fidgeting around with the track, lo and behold, a Union Pacific foreman in a hand car came pumping around the bend. The outlaws hid. The eagle-eyed railroad man, however, noticed that someone had been fooling with the track.
"Suspicious" he probably mumbled, because he knew something was definitely up. So he rode ahead like crazy, where he instructed the approaching train to hit the skids. The railroad guys informed the law, who rode out to apprehend the would-be train robbers.
Bad idea, because Big Nose and his boys blew away two of the lawmen.
His name was actually George Manuse. He was lynched in 1881.

Re: black sheep relatives
my dad's uncle spent several years in china. in prison. he pushed a buddah over on a guy praying and hurt him real bad or killed him. we were never sure, because uncle rudolph was always drunk and we never got the same story twice.
but one of the warlords(?) took him out when he found out uncle rudolph could draw fake paper money. so he spent several years drawing money for this guy and then got home some how.
uncle rudolph was murdered in l.a. twenty or thirty years back. never did find the killer.
they say there's one in every family. we don't even bother to count anymore.
