His family was friends with the family of Belle Starr, mother of Pearl Starr. Along with the James and Younger brothers, he rode with Quantrill's Raiders during the Civil War. After the war, he continued to run with the James brothers. He eventually rustled cattle with the Tom Starr gang. He remained connected to the two gangs for the rest of his life.
