James Earp
James Cooksey Earp was a lesser known older brother of Old West lawman Virgil Earp and lawmangambler Wyatt Earp. Unlike his brothers, he was a saloonkeeper and was not present at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881.
Earp was born in Hartford, Kentucky, and was reared in a tightknit family environment. In 1861, at 19, he enlisted in the Union Army at the outbreak of the American Civil War, joining Company F, 17th Illinois Infantry in May, 1861. His brothers, Virgil and Newton Earp, also enlisted. His service was cut short when he was wounded in the shoulder, having lost the use of his left arm, in a battle near Fredericktown, Missouri, on October 31, 1861. He was discharged in March, 1863. Newton and Virgil served until the end of the war.
