Brushy Bill can not be understood until we understand why he never told the whole truth. We will of course never prove Bushy's case for him and only a few will accept my conjecture. Brushy had one goal in outing himself, he wanted a pardon.
The one truth that would guarantee he would never receivebhis pardon was that William C. Quantrill was his illegitimate father.
My hope is after all the ridicule clears a few will consider it. That one piece makes so much of the puzzle make since.

Is that something you have read/heard somewhere or just a theory you have ? |

Hi,
I can't imagine the connection was never made. It is exactly the type of myth we seem to love. But i have practiced the hobby of learning about Billy/Brushy for decades and found no other hint of it.
I do believe that Quantrill was Billy Bonny's illigitamate father. Of course i have my reasons and would share at the slightest encouragement.

I was turning blue.
Holding my breathe till someone was nice enuff to ask.whew thanx.
So numder 1. Great Historians have sought the answer to Who's his daddy" for over 100 years. They seldom fail. It must be unknown or a very dangerous sectret. If W.C. Quantrill is your father it is the most dangerous secret you could have.
B( not a # for fun) If you are a smart liar you tell close to the truth. You maken it a little better. If you say your dad road with Quantrill the only ways it could be worse is if daddy was Quantrill or Bill Anderson.

More evidence i over think thangs.
Buffalo Bill told trusted friends that he knew Btk's dad and family. That they fought together before the war. Also that Btk worked for him after 81.
Buffalo Bill went with the supply train that supported the sad force that "fought" Mormons in Utah. Quantrill was there also. Cody had run away from home. Was still a child. The pair could have met. Neither had realized their destinies yet.
I can do this all day. Just invite me to post more.

Clarifying.
My belief Pat Garrett did not kill the kid that night is 10 of 10. That Brushy was Btk 7/8 of 10. That Quantrill was the daddy 7 of 10.
The evidence is circumstantial. If the trail were clear another detective would have gotten there long before me.
Please ask me to continue...you wion't be supporting my addiction.

Thamks for positive replys.
The first time i considered Quantrill might be the sire i was browsing the net. I saw pics of several ol west rascals. Then i mistook a pic of Quantrill for one of Billy. Then the squirrels in my mind jumped on their treadmills.
I have seen the evidence of how much true research this group does. It is impressive.
My family and friends tune me out the minute i say Brush, Bill, or kid. This is refreshing.

Coincidences,
My next reasons for connecting the two may be based on theology/superstition.
Quantrill and Billy each have mostly undeserved super villain reps. Quantrill started on the union side. But found being right did not keep him housed or fed. So he switched sides.
He conned his way into leadeeship of a group of proslave irregulars. His success led his opponents to brand him the Worst of the worst. The Devil on horseback. They gave him
a fictional back story any serial killer would envy. Eventually even the confederates wanted him gone if not dead. Sounds familiar? Right.
Quantrill was very close to Belle Starr and Jessie James. If Quantrill was your daddy both of them would have felt you were family.
Pretty thin just the same.
