Texas Jack Vermillion
Occupation: Soldier, lawman, outlaw, Methodist preacher.
“The origin of Texas Jack, Vermillion's nickname, is unknown, but he is first listed by this moniker on a wanted poster, for shooting a man during an argument at cards. When asked about why he was called Texas Jack, he replied ‘Because I'm from Virginia.’"
