Side note: Hico, TX, home of Brushy Billy Roberts (aka Billy the Kid) is about 20 miles outside of Granbury. Famous area for non-dead western outlaws.

Belle Starr's hideout was just down the road, too, in a creek ravine just off 377 east of the Paluxy.

Wasn’t she supposed to be burried in the same grave with Jesse James (different coffin, burried on top of James’)? I remember mention of that when the body thought to be Dalton’s was exhumed a year or two ago.

Ended up not being Dalton’s body, so the mystery goes on...

Belle Starr had long standing ties to North Texas. After the defeat of the South, many pro-Confederate Missourians migrated to the area, including Belle Starr's father and the James and Younger brothers, who settled in the Scyene community, which is now is in the city of Dallas. Belle Starr and her outlaw associates engaged in crime from Missouri and California. It wouldn't be surprising if she had a hideout in that area.
