In about 1873, Henry’s mother and his stepfather, William Antrim, moved to Silver City, New Mexico. Later, after his mother died, Billy ran away to Arizona Territory and began to go by the name of Kid Antrim. When he finally left Arizona and came back to New Mexico, he was using the name William Bonney. Although some conjecture exits, there is really no way of knowing why he used that alias.

As legend has it, Billy the Kid was born in New York, he was 21 years old when Sheriff Pat Garrett shot him to death, and he had killed 21 men during his rowdy life. I’ll get to the 21 men in just a bit, but first here’s a glimpse of Billy the Kid as he really was.

Pat Garrett became sheriff of Lincoln County and at one time was friends with Billy the Kid. It is known “the kid” was shot in the dark on this date in 1881 by Pat Garrett. But, it is said he was shot in the back by Garrett, whom by then I suppose was a former friend.

Bonney avoided further violence until January 10, 1880, when he shot and killed a newcomer to the area, Joe Grant, at Hargrove's Saloon in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The Santa Fe Weekly New Mexican reported, Billy Bonney, more extensively known as 'the Kid,' shot and killed Joe Grant.

He was captured by Sheriff Pat Garrett later that same month, tried and convicted of the murder of Brady in April 1881, and was sentenced to hang in May of that year. Bonney escaped from jail on April 28, 1881, killing two sheriff's deputies in the process, and evaded capture for more than two months.

Fact: The Kid did not have a younger brother named Edward, but he did have a younger brother named Joseph. It’s been believed that Joseph was the older brother due to an error on his death certificate when he died in November of 1930, which stated his age as seventy-six, thus making his year of birth 1854. But there’s more than enough proof that he was born in 1863, making him two-three years younger than Billy the Kid.

The folklore is that a guy named Brushy Bill was really Billy the Kid. He went by the name of William Henry Roberts and he died in Hico, TX in 1950, though this account of the Billy the Kid conspiracy theory says Brushy Bill went by Ollie P. “Bill” Roberts even though the grave marker says William Henry Roberts.
