Dallas, Texas 1951 and 1954 Clyde Barrow’s brother Leon Barrow gets into trouble with the law.

Leon Clayborn “L. C.” Barrow was born in 1913 in Dallas, Texas.

Mr. Barrow was in prison briefly in the 1930’s and again in the 50’s, but he was never accused of the violent crimes attributed to his brothers. He was a truck driver who retired because of poor health after working 13 years for the Overhead Door Company of Texas.

He was born on Aug. 13, 1913, one of six children of sharecroppers on a farm near Midlothian, Tex.

Buck Barrow was killed in 1933 in a shoot‐out with the police in Iowa. Clyde Barrow, Miss Parker and another man escaped in that exploit, but Bonnie and Clyde’s crime spree ended nearly a year later, when they were killed in a police ambush in Louisiana.

Another brother, Jack Barrow, was convicted of a barroom murder in 1930 and sentenced to 99 years in prison. He died later of a heart attack.
