"The problem with all that is, it seemed you were deflecting my previous post by moving the discussion from Martile Ables and how she might have been telling the truth to W.C. Jameson and how he made up stuff. "
"The problem with the affidavits is they do not include enough detailed explanation. For example, in this instance when Martile claimed Billy visited "the Able Family" before 1881, she does not specify that she was part of that family before 1881. It is quite possible she was referring to information passed on by her husband. Consider the following possible explanation."
Wayne, anything is possible in your opinion, no matter how unlikely.
Martile, age 89, may have been in an advanced stage of dementia. It's possible, isn't it? Don't some 89 year old people suffer from Altzheimers? Not saying she was, but it's possible.
John C. Able was in the household of his parents in Uvalde County, Texas, in the 1880 census. Do you really think John C. Able met Billy the Kid before July 1881?
Just when and where do you think they met? John C. Abel was 19 in the 1880 census in Uvalde County, Texas. Henry McCarty appears to have been busy in the New Mexico Territory from 1877 until his death.
