my father, dr. robert bacorn, was born in elmira, ny in 1919. he tells me that his grandfather bacorn was a vet who was sued by the owner of a horse that died. in an attempt at character assassination, the plaintiff claimed that my grandfather was part of a family of horsethieves named beckhorn (apologies to readers with that surname). according to the story, my great grandfather obtained a family bible from europe proving that his name was indeed bacorn and not beckhorn.
i hope this story is of interest to you.
