	This scion of one of California's most ancient and well-known Spanish families, was 
born in what was then known as the Contra Costa section of the District of San Jose, October 
20, 1823.  Save during the time of attending the schools at Monterey, the former capital of 
California, Mr. Bernal has been always a resident of what is now called Murray Township, 
Alameda County - the place of his birth.  Fuller remarks about the Bernal family will be 
found elsewhere.  Our subject married, November 10, 1855, Alta Garcia Higuerra, a native of 
California, by whom there are:  Ezequiel, Ezequies, Peryguino, Gonzaguia, Francisco, Emil, 
Manuel, Candido, Sedonia, Madronia.
