    Notes 
    • Billy Murl Phillips has worked tirelessly trying to prove his family is descended from the Dalton Gang, resorting to forgery and the planting of false "proof", including salting the internet and publications, including obituaries, with statements of that relationship as well as removing tombstones and replacing them with ones on which he had his version of his genealogy engraved. He has gained the notoriety he desired in a different way than he desired -- some call him a member of "The Dalton Hoax Gang".
      He goes by the name(s) Bill Dalton Phillips and Murl B. Phillips but the 1940 census, phone directories and a bankruptcy filing indicate otherwise:

    Notes

      It's interesting that the person forging the documents, mis-quoting newspaper articles and erecting tombstones claims his name is Bill Dalton Phillips, but the census clearly shows that his middle name was Murl, not Dalton.
