You are right.Clyde Barrow's mother, Cumie T. Walker, was the daughter of William W. Walker and Mahala Barron.
Alton D. Tynes Jr's grandmother, Sophrona A. Walker, was the daughter of Ezekiel W. Walker and Elisabeth --?--.Ezekiel Walker and William Walker were brothers; both appear as young boys in the household of William A. Walker on the 1850 census.So Alton D. Tynes Jr and Clyde C. Barrow were second cousins once removed.
Your grandfather was ten years old when Clyde Barrow was killed; so if they really did meet, it was when your grandfather was a small boy and Clyde was already a wanted man.
