As for the alleged picture of Henry Oliver Roberts as a young man, I think the resemblance to Oliver Roberts alias Brushy Bill Roberts is pretty uncanny.
Of course few don't buy my theory that Brushy Bill basically used his father's timeline and life story, as well as his father's pictures, to create the account we're all familiar with.
After all, Henry really was in the timeframe for the life of Billy The Kid, and as my thread shows, with much help from oluckyman that MUCH of what Roberts said was true or made sense--- following the legitimate family genealogy, without adding in "Mary Adeline Dunn" or other things.
Because after all, if you map out the family tree, Caroline Dunn would have basically been William Antrim's cousin-in-law and so would Joseph Roberts have been his cousin. So in a sense, Catherine Antrim would have been something of a "sister" to Caroline Dunn, at least in a poetic sense.
It's plausible, absolutely, that the Roberts family would've met and spent time with the Antrim's of New Mexico because--- as the thread shows, the Birdwell's had cattle interests and mining interests as far as Arizona, and there's no doubt that Henry Oliver Roberts would've been on those ventures with his stepgrandfather and stepfather.
For me that's the kernel of truth to the whole thing. I know most don't accept that here on the forum, and admittedly there is more searching that needs to be done but the connection is all there without having to bring Billy The Kid into the picture necessarily.
Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all 😊

Rufus, are you confusing Gladewater with Granbury, You probably aren't but I just wanted to ask, I know Granbury is next to Hico and they obviously knew each other years before. I don't think that is Brushy in the photo on findagrave but ears match, and I heard the family looked the same but in that photo the parents do not look like the other clear parents photo that have been posted before of his parents. Lost Interviews which you know I don't trust or I guess it was Beyond the Grave says the one Brushy lookalike was a cousin. This pic from findagrave, I will post, I had never seen it before, you tell me your opinions, but it would better if you had seen the other alleged Brushy father pic too which I don't have handy. That would be this guy's right ear protruding but Brushy's left ear stuck out the furthest. His jaw is wide but he looks different. I think he is not Brushy. You can see his other ear too. But it is close enough to ponder, debate, argue about. However the parents do not look anything like The other Roberts parents of Brushy Bill. If you guys never saw the parents photo I can try to find one of I can. Basically you got an old man that looks very similar to Brushy and he is the dad.
