He was the step-father of Billy the Kid.
Antrim moved to Wichita in 1870,where he met Catherine McCarty and her two sons, Henry (Billy the Kid) and Joseph. He moved with them to New Mexico and the couple was married in Santa Fe. Shortly after, they moved to Silver City where Catherine died of tuberculosis in 1874. Rather than care for his stepsons, Antrim sent them to live with friends of the family while he tried his hand at prospecting. Antrim was friendly with Joe but wanted nothing to do with Henry (and the feeling was mutual). Antrim eventually moved to California to live with his niece and died in 1922.
