PEDRO QUINTANA was born in New Mexico, January 29, 1833, and is one of the 
pioneers of this county. He came to San Luis Obispo County in 1843, there being 
at that time only three of four families residing in this vicinity. Mr. Quintana 
owns a fine ranch twelve miles from the city where he has spent an active and 
useful life engaged in ranching , and where he is now living, quiet and retired, 
a gentleman universally popular wherever he is known.
	He was married in 1856, to Luz Herrera, and has seven children. Three of the 
sons, one of whom forms the subject of a preceding sketch, are actively engaged 
in mercantile life in the city.
