It has been suggested that the William arrested with Frank for the murder of A. C. Garrett was a cousin instead of a brother as suggested by contemporary records.

Frank had two cousins named William. Francis Marion's son was born in Oct 1877. He would have been only 10 or 11 years old at the time of the burning of the TERRY barn, and 11 when Cull GARRETT was killed. His involvement in either event is unlikely.

The second cousin who has been seriously suggested is John W.'s son born Feb. 1861, who was certainly old enough to be involved, but lived over 200 miles away in Daviess County, Missouri.

Contemporary newspaper accounts consistently identify the William arrested with Frank as a brother, and give his age as 20 in the Springfield Express article dated 1 Mar 1889. John W.'s William was almost a decade older and William's penitentiary records state he has a "brother in this prison" at the time he was admitted.

Since it was Henry Clark who routinely posted bond for William as well as Frank, it is reasonable to assume that the contemporary records correctly identified Frank and William as brothers.
