From Wikipedia:
John Wesley Hardin (May 26, 1853—August 19, 1895) was an outlaw and gunfighter of the American Old West. He was born in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas. When Hardin went to prison in 1878, he claimed to have killed 44 men. Hardin's criminal career resulted not only in the deaths of his victims but also in the deaths of his brother Joe and seven cousins who were hanged by Texas Rangers seeking revenge.
