Early Life
Clyde Chestnut Barrow was born on March 24, 1909, Ellis County, Texas. The fifth of seven children born to a poor farming family in Texas, Clyde and his brother, Buck, supported themselves as petty thieves. When Clyde met Bonnie Parker in January 1930, he was 21 and single. Soon after their meeting, he was sent to jail for burglary, and Bonnie smuggled him a gun and aided his escape. Upon his re-capture, he was jailed for two years. He was eventually paroled in February 1932 and reacquainted himself with Bonnie.
