Looking for information on Calvin Warnell Polk.

Cal Polk in early years was in a posse that captured Billy the Kid in Stinking Springs, New Mexico.

Looking for information on Charles Ambrose (Charley) Burns. Family history has it that he was a US Marshal, IT under Judge Isaac Parker. I do not have the dates. He lived in Marshall County, Oklahoma, so the time period would have been between 1873 and 1889. Thank you for your help.

Caleb Lawson (Loss) Hart - U.S. Marshal in OK about 1910-1920 era

CathySTRALEY99 — 26 Nov 2004 1:23:09 GMT

Caleb Lawson (Loss) Hart was a U.S. Marshal in south-central Oklahoma, apparently in Murray County OK & he lived at Stratford. Loss was reportedly part of the posse which hunted down the last of the Dalton Gang after their famous attempt to hold-up the bank at Coffeeville, Kansas. Loss is credited with firing the shot that killed Bill Dalton. I would like to find out more about Loss.

Also, seeking additional information on George W. Cox, who was Deputy Marshal in Tillman County OK, 1906-1913. He lived about 5 miles east of Manitou in Tillman County (this county is northwest of Wichita Falls, Texas). His great-granddaughter (now 86) recalls that this job of Deputy Marshal required him to travel long distances by horse and buggy and to often be gone from home. As a connection to Loss Hart, George W. Cox's daughter Georgiana married in 1898 to James Henry Milton Hart, who was the brother of Loss Hart.

Any additional info would be appreciated on either of these Marshals.

looking for info on Mr. Shoup, US Marshall

Pam — 4 Dec 2003 8:22:21 GMT

In 1899 Abercrombie was hired by the United States Government to do a survey of Prince William Sound. Mr. Shoup was one of Alaska's US Marshall's sent by the Federal Government to keep the peace in this untamed territory. It was in honor of his outstanding performance that the Shoup Glacier was named in Alaska. This is all I could find so far on him. Am trying to find out his full name and where he came from.

John Francis TIDWELL - killed 1845-1850 in Indian Territory?

Phil Tidwell — 24 Aug 2005 10:25:38 GMT

Family oral traditions relate that my great grandfather was a Federal Marshal murdered in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) before 1850. He suspected some individuals of stealing horses and was ambushed and killed while tracking the gang. His horse bolted for home, arriving with blood on the saddle. Based on oral history my ancestor, John Francis TIDWELL, was born about 1780 in Fairfield District, South Carolina. He was 30 years older than his wife Jennie ENGRAM; she may have been his second wife. His death occurred between 1845-1850.

I'm unable to find any information about him on the Internet. Can anyone direct me to any sources that might document his service as a U.S. Marshal and details about his death?

Joseph Andrew Lee - MO - OK

lawoffices1 — 16 Mar 2004 12:18:01 GMT

My ggrandfather was Joseph Andrew Lee. He was a Deputy U.S. Marshall. I think he came from Missouri - might have been born there - birth date is supposed to be about 1865. He married a woman named Emma. He had at least two daughters - Ruth and Ellen. Might have had more kids - still checking on that. He died in 1944 and is buried in Seiling, Oklahoma. Emma died in about 1928 and is also buried in Seiling Oklahoma. Ring anyone's bells???

John C NUNN US Marshall Vernon County Missouri

Pris31 — 14 Feb 2003 8:45:28 GMT

I am looking for the years and any other informaton on John C NUNN who lived in Vernon County MO.

I think that he was a US Marshall sometime between 1896 and 1904.

I did order some records of US Marshalls in Missouri that were before this time and he was not listed. So I think he must have been abt 1896-1904.
He might also be listed AS JC NUNN.
Thankyou for any informaton and help on my ancestor.
