There have apparently been at least a couple of efforts made in this modern age to verify, through DNA testing, who is who in this zoo. Billy's mother, one Catherine Antrim, is buried in New Mexico and her grave site is apparently fairly well recognized as authentic. Unfortunately, Billy's alleged grave site, assuming it was where it was claimed to be (near Ft Sumner), has been washed away in several floods over the years. No way to tell where it was, much less who was in it. Brushy Bill's grave site, however, is very well known. It shouldn't be all that big of a deal to exhume his and Catherine Antrim's and do a DNA comparison. Yet efforts to do so have been blocked in court. Gotta wonder why...
