Tom McLaury

Biography
Thomas McLaury (b. June 30, 1853 – d. October 26, 1881) was an American outlaw. He and his brother Frank owned a ranch outside Tombstone, Arizona Territory during the 1880s. He was a member of a group of outlaws Cowboys and cattle rustlers that had ongoing conflicts with lawmen Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp. The McLaury brothers repeatedly threatened the Earps because they interfered with the Cowboys' illegal activities. On October 26, 1881, Tom and Frank were both killed in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. The Tombstone shootout was his only gunfight.

Tom 's ghost occasionally haunted the Tombstone courthouse and jail, and there lent a sympatric ear to Maeve MacKenna during her incarceration.
