Brushy Bill Roberts (? â December 27, 1950; claimed date of birth December 31, 1859) a.k.a. William Henry Roberts [1], Ollie Partridge William Roberts, Ollie P. Roberts or Ollie L. Roberts, attracted attention by claiming to be the western outlaw William H. Bonney, also known as Billy the Kid.
Up until his death, Brushy Bill maintained that he was Billy the Kid. A Tale of Two Bills. Hicoâs Billy the Kid Museum speculates that Billy moved to Texas in 1883, two years after his supposed death in New Mexico. He went by the name William Henry Roberts, but most folks just called him Brushy Bill. Sue Land, director of the Billy the Kid museum in Hico, says the best piece of evidence that Billy the Kid escaped Fort Sumner unscathed is Pat Garrettâs own deputy.
