He used alais, John Graham, John Collins, "Shotgun" Collins, and was dubbed "Gunnysack" Johnny by the troops he rode with while hired as an Indian Scout by U S Army Calvary.
Graham was a footnote to a legend, the most famous outlw in history, Billy the Kid.

Looking for anything on Potee' changed his name from Potee' to "Jim" Jones after he was finally caught, as the story goes with Jesse James. He escaped and changed his name. He supposely did some crimes before and robbed a bank and was in jail with Jesse. I'm assuming by that, they were robbing the bank together. It was kept all quite until he died. My thoughts were before 1937, because of a statement on a ss application of my fathers. My grandfather is James Albert Jones b.1872 m.Rena Lott 1895 Ms. She was b.1877Ms. She is also a mistery. I have not been able to find a family for her. The story of Potee' was told to me by my father and my grandma Rena.Any help on this, I have a photo of my father only. Potee' grandson. Also any of my fathers (Lloyd Frank Jones) kin reading this please contac me. "Kat" Jones
