Death: 1 Aug 1850, Yuba River, CA

Mother: Sarah MARTIN

Said to have gone to California "in the first gold excitement" — gold was discovered in Jan 1848, and the "rush" began in the spring of 1849 — and to have died on the Yuba River on 1 Aug 1850. This would seem impossible if he was in Knox Co., OH, to be enumerated in the census on 20 Jul 1850, unless his family stayed behind and the census-taker enumerated him as head-of-household despite his absence.

Wife: Elizabeth BENSON / PIERSON
Birth: 5 Sep 1803, PA
Death: 14 Jun 1885, Knox Co., OH
