Brushy Bill's niece confirmed that her uncle isn't Billy the Kid, and in fact his name was Oliver P. Roberts. His own family laid that myth to rest.

Robert e Lee died in 1870 when Billy was 11 years old. Why would he sign a document saying Brushy Bill was Billy the Kid before Billy the Kid was Billy the Kid.

[letsgobrandon]

I also signed it. No more proof needed. Next document

[DaveRCollins]

Ah bro, lots of people saying you didn’t do your research! Make that shit tight, dude! You’ve got great stories, make em sturdy!

[markhenry]

How the hell would Truman know !

I'm calling poppycock on this 😅

When I was in my 20s, I was working on a house just outside of Philadelphia. The guy who owned the house was very rich and then invited me in for lunch. He was a giant of a man and asked me if I wanted to see something cool? Well, of course I did so I followed him down this long hallway to his basement where I thought he could probably tell me if you wanted to and he showed me about 25 guns, they were owned by famous people such as pat Garrett, William Hickock, and the shotgun given to him by Tom Knapp. I jokingly asked him if he had Jesse James gun? He told me Jesse James was a piece of crap loser, and not worth collecting. I looked it up and he’s right Jesse James was a real piece of S**T!

Cristopher Columbus also discovered Brushy Bill was Billy the Kid!

[troymcgraw]

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid were known to be very good friends, many people at the time even thought the entire situation was a hoax.

[dave-oxeo]

When he met General Lee, he was known as 'Billy The Baby'.

[timswabb]

One big discrepancy was that Billy the Kid could read and write English and was fluent in spoken Spanish. Brushy Bill was illiterate with a moderate proficiency in Spanish.

[Yup]

Brushy Bill Roberts was on the Texas census his entire life, he was not Billy the Kid

[ryand]

I have a confession, I’m billy the kid and the 2nd gun man on the grassy knoll. Plz don’t tell the law I want to enjoy my remaining years.

[dexterboyz]

Haaa… they did a dna work uo, with a living relative on Billy’s mothers side, and Brushy Bill, is NOT Billy the kid.!

[Jonw]

He was never killed Billy lived a long life until he was like 90 some yrs old

This story has holes in it.
As a child in 1961 we were in Nashville TN. Waiting for a train with family. We actually spent a day or two there. We children went out to play. It was a very poor area of town.
Next to the house, , , was an old run down motel like place that a lot of old people were living in.
One of the old men spent time telling us wild west type stories....he claimed to be Billy the Kid. He was very old. And seemed a bit bitter when we acted like we did not quite believe him.

[FireflyGirl]

I never believed OL Robert's claim that he was Billy the Kid. He looks VERY different than William Bonney. 🙄

[RamblingMann]

Al Gore enters
He invented Billy the Kid

[davidjunto]

Besides the coincidence of the known scars, the physical abnormality that makes it easier to slip out of cuffs, unique eye color, etc; it was his weird posture that can be noticed in photos throughout his life that really makes it interesting.
It must of been hell for such a prideful guy to not tell his own history for fear of justice being served regarding the murder, thievery etc.
Billy Barlowe was also known as Billy the Kid (a tag not unlike "Old Bob"), so no one who identified the body had to lie.
