There seems to be a lot of people who are related to John Wesley
Hardin but do not have the link. Here is what I have and it is by no means complete. I have it because I am working on a book "In the
Shadow of John Wesley
Hardin" and concentrates on lesser known gunfighters to include John's little brother Jeff who was killed in a gunfight in 1901.
Here is have I have:
