I'm not answering my own question because it's your experiences I want to hear about, but I can give an example of what I'm looking for. In 1911, an uncle of my paternal grandmother was hanged for the murder of his business partner. I have a copy of the newspaper which covered the event, and it's quite fascinating. Another part of my story is that my maternal grandmother, who was not related to any of those people, was standing in her front yard when she saw a man race by in a buggy while whipping his horse. This was my paternal grandmother's uncle who had committed the murder just minutes before. I always teased my maternal grandmother about it because I, her first grandchild, wound up being related to him. She would say, "Please don't remind me."

I'm related the the James Gang (through the Youngers) and while they weren't sentenced to death (I don't think), they died violent deaths.
Recently, a friend I lost touch with was arrested for walking over to his neighbors place and stabbing her in the neck, where she died. Still don't know why. The case is pending.

No, I haven't. But you have a remarkable story there to tell. Even your Grandmother though she lived thru it is ashamed of it by means of knowledge ,granted it is a family matter and thank you for letting us know that grandmother still feels the heartache that went with that story,I only wish for her that some family members remember the difference in her life and his.May she and you find happiness and try not to make the same mistakes of the past.
