Family Tree - Moore Side > More on Babe Simpson

Brandon Kincer responded to my earlier post on Babe Simpson:

My grandfather's brother Clint Rutherford ran around with Babe some. My great mammaw told me that they came in one night drunk, and they both had several thousand dollars. When she asked them how they got the money they got real defensive. Later she heard they had a part in robbing a bank in Georgia. Clint could be described as a tall, muscular man with sandy hair. He lived in eastern Tennessee, near South Holston lake, a place called Jacobs Creek is not far from were he lived. She said that Babe had a good humorous personality, even when he was drinking. She has several pictures of him and Clint together. They were never caught for the robbery or for that matter ever suspected.

I asked Melissa, and she recalls that her grandmother Geneva's side of the family was friends with some Rutherfords.
