According to one source I have Joseph McCarty was brother to Henry "Billy the kid" McCarty. Parents William Michael McCarty and wife Catherine Bonney. Billy the kid only used the named William Bonney which was either a cousin or an uncle of his in Texas.
According to Joseph, they were born in Missouri and then after their father (McCarty d.~1865 in Civil War) died went to Illinois and NM.
