is a native of Ashland county, Ohio, and was born September 29th, 1835.  Here he 
received his education, and worked at farming, until about nineteen years old, 
and emigrated to California, crossing the plains in 1854, and located in Napa 
county.  In 1855, he went to Vallejo, where he was engaged in draying during the 
winter, and then came to Suisun Valley, where he was engaged in farming, from 
1856 to 1863, at which time he went to the mountains, mining for one year, and 
returned to Suisun Valley.  In 1869, we again find him in the mines, where he 
stayed four years.  He again returns to this county, and settled in the 
Montezuma hills, working for W. B. Brown one year, after which he farmed on his 
own account.  In the fall of 1875, he bought the ranch where he now resides, and 
is located about three miles north-west of Suisun.
