              The subject of this sketch was born in Ireland in 
1830.  On the 22d day of May, 1850, he sailed for New York City, landing in that 
port on the 16th of September following.  He first settled in Mamaroneck, 
Westchester county, in that State via Panama, arriving in San Francisco on 
February 1, 1864, and immediately came to Marin county and settled in Point 
Reyes township.  After one year�s residence in that place he moved to Tomales 
township, and located on a farm near the present residence of O. Hubbell.  He 
sold the ranch in 1876, and after living on Mr. Stumph�s farm for two years, 
bought his present farm of one hundred and sixty acres, and has since made it a 
permanent home.  In 1863 he married Rose Breen, who was born in Ireland.  They 
have two children, Mary Ann and Nellie.
