<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sunday silence, post: 12027610, member: 6808&quot;]The local magazine or news in PHiladelphia did a story on the two Billy the Kid photos. You can google it. The one big issue they found is that the auctioneers claim Billy&#039;s mother Catherine McCarty lived in Philadelphia during the time of the photos because her name appears on some city records. But the problem with that is that this McCarty&nbsp; continues on the Philadelphia records into the late 1870s whereas Billys mother is said to have died in 1874 in NM.</p><p><br /></p><p>The auctioneer claims both photos are from Philadelphia but the BTK authors say Catherine moved first to Indiana then to Wichita when BIlly was 11 then to New Mexico. So the older photo he&#039;s older than 11 but by then the references place Billy in Kansas. I guess its also possible the BTK authors didnt track the whereabout of Catherine and her family correctly but that would really take some research. i have not read any of the books so I dont know how well documented his family is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
