Little Britches (born Jennie Stevenson in 1879; date and place of
death unknown) was an outlaw in the American Old West associated with
Cattle Annie. Their exploits are fictionalized in the 1981 film Cattle
Annie and Little Britches, directed by Lamont Johnson and starring
Diane Lane as Little Britches.Born Jennie Stevens in Barton County in
southwestern Missouri, to a farm couple, Daniel and Lucy Stevenson,
her one known sister was Victoria Estella Stevenson. Apparently she
dropped the "son" from her maiden name; her second husband was
apparently named "Stephens", not "Stevens." For a time, therefore, she
was Jennie Stevenson Stephens. The Stevenson family lived during part
of the 1880s in Seneca in Newton County, also in southwestern Missouri
on the eastern border of Oklahoma, then Indian Territory. The
Stevensons then moved into the Creek Nation at Sinnett in Pawnee
County in the northern Indian Territory. Little Britches followed
stories of the Bill Doolin gang written by such dime novelists as Ned
Buntline, like her friend Cattle Annie (born Anna Emmaline
McDoulet).Little Britches joined the Doolin gang but lost her horse
and returned home to the stern rebuke of her father. She was
determined nevertheless to pursue a life of crime, and she married a
deaf-mute horse dealer, Benjamin Midkiff, in March 1895. They
established housekeeping in a hotel in Perry in Noble County in
northern Oklahoma. Midkiff found her unfaithful, however, and he
returned the teenager to her father after the two had been together
for only six weeks. Within a day of returning home, she began riding
along the Arkansas River in search of outlaw adventure.Soon she
apparently married Robert Stephens, but the union lasted only six
months. At a community dance Jennie and Annie met the Doolin gang,
later called the Wild Bunch (not the Butch Cassidy gang of the same
name). These outlaws, all eleven of whom met violent deaths,
maintained a hideaway in the Creek Nation Cave, located on the
Cimarron River in Payne County near Ingalls east of Stillwater,
Oklahoma. At a shootout in Ingalls in 1893, three marshals were
killed. Little Britches (outlaw) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
