              Born in Worcester county, Mass., August 6, 1838; 
retained his residence there until 1859, when he emigrated to California via 
Panama.  He came direct to this county, and worked one year, by the month, on a 
ranch, after which he teamed for a period of four months, and then moved upon 
his present ranch of one hundred and sixty acres, located about two miles 
north-east of Tomales.  Here he has resided almost continuously, save an absence 
on a mining expedition for six months, and in 1864 returned East, and on August 
20, 1864, married Paulina Ball, of Orange county, New York.
