I'm somehow related to this gentleman. Not sure how just have been told it is a blood relitive. This is the first time I have found a piece writen on him that seems like more fact than fiction. Tried to copy and paste it for you all, but it won't copy. So here is a link.

I read somewhere at one piont that in NYC. there are many old revolvers reported to be the ones he carried in service in DodgeCity and Colarado. And that over time it came out that he used to go to pawn shops in NYC and buy old pistols and sell them for drinking money. Claiming them to be the one he used to clean up ------town. Kind funny really.
