Yes.... well.......
It's funny what you can find when doing a little research on your family tree. A few years ago I traced my geneaology back to W. Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky.
It turned out that one of my ancestors ( I think it was probably a great uncle or cousin) was hung for stealing a horse.
I find this rather hard to believe! I think the horse just probably followed him home and he was taking care of it till he could find the owner!
A case of really BAD luck! Yep...the guy was hung from a horse under an old oak tree. I doubt that it was the same horse.
