John Wilson Vermillion would grow up to become one of the many gunfighters in the Old West, with colorful nicknames like "Texas Jack" and "Shoot-Your-Eye-Out" Vermillion. He is most well known for his participation with Wyatt Earp in the Earp Vendetta Ride after the Clantons had killed Morgan Earp in 1882.
Vermillion was born in Russell County, Virginia in 1842, the second of 12 children born to William and Nancy Owens Vermillion. When he grew up, he served as a Confederate soldier under the command of General J.E.B. Stuart during the Civil War
