Billy Clanton (1862 – October 26 1881) was a cowboy in Cochise County Arizona Territory. Billy worked with his father Old Man Clanton on their ranch and may have assisted in rustling livestock. He is best known for being a member of group of outlaws that had ongoing conflicts with lawmen Wyatt Virgil and Morgan Earp. The Clantons repeatedly threatened the Earps because they interfered with the Cowboys’ illegal activities. On October 26 1881 Billy was killed in the Gunfight at the O.K.
