Hi cousin... It is nice to hear I have a cousin related to William Porter Stockton. I sent a reply to your contact number on ancestry.com with my contact information. Hope to be in touch with you soon.

Ike Stockton was born on February 29, 1852 and was killed by Deputy Sheriff J. J. Sullivan in late September, 1881. He is buried in the Animas City cemetery in Durango above Oak Drive on Florida Road. His headstone lists his death date as October 26, 1881 but it is a mistake. Ike had a bar next to Sheriff Brady's sheriff's office in Lincoln, New Mexico and when Billy the Kid shot Brady, Ike brought a hatful of water to the scene. Ike angered Durango, Colorado, and Farmington, New Mexico, and Silverton, Colorado residents when he left Lincoln and renewed his bad habits with a series of robberies, rustlings and reprisal murders. After Stockton was shot by Sullivan seven doctors attended to him, amputating his leg at the hip. Townspeople of Animas city and the new town of Durango hollered across the Animas River "Ike Stockton, go to hell!" He died later that night.

Hi, My husband is also related to William Stockton. I'm doing his genealogy and ran across this post. Imaging our surprise "Stockton Gang".
Would love to know more about the Stockton's and their families.
Sincerely, Davey & Kimberley Page

Hi...So happy to see your message. I am William Porter Stockton's gggrand-daughter. His daugther Carrie Essie May Stockton was my ggrandmother, her daughter Grace Wilmot was my grandmother. I am Davey's cousin Linda. His mom was my dad's oldest sister, Greba (Pat) Page. (: Oh my gosh!!!

I'm a member of what are likely cousins of yours: another Stockton family from Hopkins County, TX. I have always wondered how Samuel could have fathered Ike and Porter if the death so many have listed (1850) is correct.

Hi...I show that Samuel Stockton was born in 1815 in Tennessee and died in about 1857. Samuel was alive during the 1850 census but is not mentioned in the 1860 census. The 1860 census shows Porter was 11, Isaac was 9 Matisha was 7, Samuel was 5 and Amanda was 2 and born in about 1858. Her conception date ties to the 1857 death date I show for Samuel.
Hope this helps.
Linda

My third great grandfather George W. Brown was supposedly killed by the Stockton gang, but don't think that is possible, because even though George and his wife Effie farber brown lived in Kansas, they moved back to Crawford county Iowa. Not sure why some researchers put my family in this category.

Becky, Doing research for my husband's side of the family, it seems that Port Stockton was in Kansas and Missouri for a period during the early 1870's. Also your George Brown might not have been the same George Brown found in historical records.
