Johnny Ringo
Hello, Jim!I think we may have talked before, about Johnny, of course!I've read all I can find on Johnny, including his time in Texas, where he & Scott Cooley were partnered up for a while.I also read that Johnny challenged Wyatt Earp to a gunfight on the streets of Tombstone, which Wyatt refused! All my info shows Wyatt was a coward who wanted all the advantage he could get!Quite a few reports indicate the same thing! He claimed to have killed Johnny but it seems every biographer I've read say that it's not true!
According to my mother, who was a very dedicated genealogist, we tie in to the Ringo family somewhere along the line but a lot of her work was lost at her death.
I would sure like to have any info on Johnny, his dad & mother, bro. & sisters.Was Johnny's mother's sister married to Emmett Dalton (or Cole Younger?)in San Jose?Was that the reason they were going to Calif.?Didn't mean to be so wordy but thanks for listening!Dean Guthery--Arizona
