think I read in some thread about Jill that she has a big mansion in the

 My wife's family owned slaves. They have a document that transfers
ownership of a bitch and her pup to an heir. It's a very interesting
document. My wife's family has a lot of interesting documents. I wish
someone would collect the materials and preserve them in an easily
accessible location.

 Definitely! Collect all that valuable historical material before it
vanishes in a box somewhere! Amazing!
 

My wife's family has a history of being a wild and rowdy bunch. Here's
her grandfather's tombstone. The little blurb does not mention him being
a stone-cold killer of rustlers in the old West. Hit the "Read More"
button for more info on this killer cowboy.

 Now we're talking! Quite a family you have there. 50% wild cowboysand
gunmen, while on your side, dignified and noble samurai ancestors! Your
children must be real ninjas!

Things are unclear with the passage of time. Some people see him as a
ruthless vigilante with a licence to kill. To some people, he's some
kind of hero of the old West. My guts tell me that he was no hero.

Granville Stuart, described William as, "…absolute fearless, and that he
would not hesitate an instant to risk his life in the cause of right and
justice. He was a man of few words, but one who could be depended upon
absolutely in any emergency."
