    Being a life long fan of "Judge Leroy Bean" that is an interesting site.

    Thank you for posting it from a historical point of view!

    At least in the US hanged would describe what happened to these folk.

    When I first saw the thread title "Hung ancestors" an enntirely different topic came to mind that I am not sure would be historically provable.

    That's exactly what popped into my mind when I saw the topic. Of course, I thought... that's why some of us prefer to wear something that doesn't cramp us. It's inherited after all...

    Reminds me of Blazing Saddles...

    "They said you was hung!"
