Lincoln County Grantor Information on DEDRICK SAMUEL N ; WHITE SWAN LODE
Lincoln County Newspaper article link with name highlighted
13 newspaper articles in New Mexico for Sam Deidrick from 1885-1909
Picture of brother Dan below
The following information was taken here. “In 1879, Sam, and his brothers, Dan and Mose, as well as a friend, William H. “Harvey” West, started producing counterfeit bills. In late 1879 or early 1880 Sam and West bought a livery stable in White Oaks, for $400 from Billy Wilson. The stable was a hangout for the Rustlers and stolen stock was kept there. Meanwhile, Wilson, not knowing the bills Sam and West had given him were counterfeit, soon put them into circulation. With that, the U. S. Treasury Department got involved and sent Special Agent Azariah Wild to New Mexico to investigate the matter. Wild’s investigation concluded by Wild stating that the counterfeiting operation was the brainchild of the three Dedricks, West, and Billy Wilson. After this, and after Sam’s younger brother Mose was captured and then released, the three Dedrick brothers fled to Socorro County, New Mexico. Shortly thereafter, Sam and Mose went to Arizona. There, Sam gave up his guns for good. Nevertheless, he was mysteriously shot and killed by a Mexican on the Verde River at Deming, New Mexico in 1909.”

I replied to Josh with the following
“Hi Josh,
Thanks for your interest. I took the time and searched everything I could for the whereabouts of a stable owned by Dedrick and had no suck luck. I even checked the Lincoln County records and did find a claim ownership listed on link, but nothing about a stable.. Sam Dedrick was about 25 years old when in White Oaks and the Lincoln County papers only shows one article Listed in link below… Also I went ahead and did a New Mexico search for Sam Dedrick and found 13 articles and those are listed below.. (above on this page now) So with this i went ahead and made a webpage for Dedrick. “

Doing a County Search of Lot records for Patrick McGraw:
After locating the lot and block of McGraw, I can clearly say, the probability of West Dedrick stable behind the Little Casino is 95 percent correct on the basis that McGraw was the Grantee from Dedrick. The location is directly behind but not the closest directly behind, but behind no doubt…. Update…. months later the Methodist Church for located. It’s misplaced on picture below.
