When you say some of the distant farmers witnessed the murder. where did you find that info?... This was in the Collin Co.book by Stambaugh quoted from the 1906 McKinney Paper article and the Grayson Co.book. Captain Hall died in 1970 and Helen Hall a few years ago. I knew Helen. She was a wonderfull lady and dedicated historian/genealogist. They named the new McKinney Library after them. "Collin County:Pioneering in North Texas" by Captain Hall and Helen Hall. 1975 &1994.. Does not mention the Bill Wilson murder. I do not know what has become of Captain Hall's research. About 10 years ago Helen sent me a load of original Collin Co. CSA letters by Regular Mail! Needless to say I copied and sent back Registered.The 1906 McKinney paper article was by T.B.Wilson. He was a deputy Sheriff in Collin at the time of the Bill Wislon murder. FYI...There is much Collin Co info in the McKinney library but perhaps more in the basement in the Plano Library. The latter is where the Collin Co Gen.Society meets.
