Benny Blanch Ivy Caldwell (of Bonnie and Clyde fame) was my 3rd cousin. She
was married to Buck Barrow, Clyde's brother. I met her in the 1970's at a
Caldwell family reunion at Idabel, OK.
I have just recently met over the internet another cousin of mine, Debbie
Jane Moss from TX. She is writing a book on Blanch Caldwell as the real
story has not been told about her.
My mother interviewed Blanch some years ago before she died.
Debbie has sent me today a video that was taken in May 2006 of the Gibsland,
LA shootout by renactors. Every year they meet in May when they were killed
and renact the sceen. If anyone is interested in seeing it, I can forward
it to you.
I don't want to get in trouble with the website if I am doing something
wrong because of a rule I might not know about.
Remember the Moss family and Fontaine Family married into the Caldwell
family in TN before settling in Hempstead Co./Howard Co., AR. Jackson
Family also married Caldwells. Blanch's father was Matthew Fontaine
Caldwell.
