Reflections for Night Watchman Pinkney Lambert Barnhill

This is my great-great grandfather. I was very close to my great grandmother, his daughter- Lorena Stahl. Thank you to all of you that remembered him. In December 1874 he captured Jose Palacious and 200 banditos who were terrorizing the Rio Grande. My father, Major Prentis Byon Vaughn was his grandson who also died by the gun. My cousin/Pinkney's grandson is former King Ranch cowboy turned preacher, and the pastor of Kingsville Baptist Church. He still has his King Ranch saddle.
