He was born in Ireland, October 15, 1819. In 1831 he came to the United States, 
settling in Philadelphia, where he remained nine years, during which time he 
learned the tinsmith trade. In 1840 he went to New Orleans, and followed his 
trade until 1849, when he emigrated to California. Here he followed mining for 
several years, then worked at his trade in Chico, Butte county. He came to 
Lassen county, and settled on the farm on which he now resides, in 1849. A view
