I'm reading a book about Billy the Kid's life. (Yet another one) and I couldn't help wondering what about the women in Billy's life. The book mentioned only 3, but the way people talked it seems like he had a girlfriend in every town. I was wondering what happened to them?
According to the 3 Books that I have about Billy and his Life, Abrana Garcia was his Significant Other. She bore him a Son. Jose Patrocinio Garcia McCarty.
As for the other Women that it is said he had Relations with, it has Never really been proven.
In 1882 a number of newspapers in the United States reported the death of a Nellie Pickett, supposed outlaw. These articles all claim that not only was she "the wife" of Charlie Bowdre at the time of his death, but that she also became the wife of Billy the Kid while he was on the run from the law. This is the first I've heard of this woman, but I suppose it's possible that she might have been something like the gang's official "groupie" and considered herself the "wife" of whichever one she was having relations with at the time.
