I always assumed this came from John Russell in "Rio Bravo", but
I read that he came for his brother.

Anyone know where this famous quote comes from?

Stone me.

Barney Frank comes for the sheriff. You're thinking of Mark Foley...

...tick... tick... tick... (1970)

an anti-white movie that has something like

"Sheriff, I've come for my boy!"

"but your boy killed a little girl"

"a little black girl, I suppose?"

"a little girl is a little girl, and because i am black i
am morally superior to white people, but it just so happens
that it was a little white girl your big white boy killed"

"Sheriff, I've come for my boy!"

It was certainly used in a parody advert in the 70s. I think it was for Maltesers.

There was no sheriff in My Darling Clementine, only a marshal. And there was no exchange like the one quoted.

Much later, in Support Your Local Sheriff, Walter Brennan is Pa Danby trying to get his son, Joe Denby (Bruce Dern), out of jail, and points a gun at James Garner

“I believe you've got one of my children in your jail here.”
(followed by Garner sticking his finger in the end of Brennan's pistol)

I have no idea when the first such exchange took place.
