THOMAS RICHARDSON, one of the prominent citizens of Stanislaus county, and an old-time resident as wel1, was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, September 28, 1818, his parents being Robert and Catharine (Bullen) Richardson. The mother was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and there the father, a native of Virginia, went when a young man, and was married there. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, being in Matson's command, Harrison's army, and spiked some of the British guns at the battle of the Thames.
When our subject, Thomas Richardson, was but three months old the family removed to Pike county, Missouri, and eight years later to Pike county, Illinois, locating at Martinsburg, about six miles from Pittsfield, where be grew up to young manhood. He next went to Iowa, and was engaged for four years at the Government farm on the Des Moines river, where the Black Hawk Indian agency was. Including himself there were only three or four white people there, and all the rest were the savage Black Hawk Indians. He became well acquainted with the chiefs of that tribe, including the sons of the noted leader Black Hawk, one of the most celebrated of savage chieftains. From there he returned to Pike county, Illinois, and was married in 1845. In 1850 he crossed the plains to California with an ox team. Proceeding to the gold diggings on the American river, he mined there about two weeks. In December of 1851 he went back East by water, returning to California in 1852, coining across the plains and being accompanied by his family. He was captain of the company both times. He located on the Stanislaus river, where he now lives, and where he has 700 acres of land, secured partly by the pre-emption and the homestead rights and partly by purchase. Here he has done much in the way of improvement, the buildings being very creditable, among them being a handsome and commodious residence erected in 1867. His land is of the best in California, and is devoted principally to farming, except about eighty acres which he leases to a man who is improving it with orchard trees, vines, etc.
The whole place presents a handsome appearance to the eye of one accustomed to the blending of the beautiful and useful in nature. Besides his home ranch he has another ranch of ninety-six acres, a mile and a half southeast of Oakdale, which he himself farms.
Mr. Richardson was married in Illinois, January 9, 1845, to Miss Lucinda Jane Waggoner, a native of Tennessee. They have two children, viz.: John J., a namesake of General Hardin; and Ephraim.

His parents paid the steamship passage and gave him ten dollars in US Gold. It was with this capital that he started out for himself.
His eldest brother, Tonjes JOOST, was supposed to be in New York, but when Behrend arrived there he found to his surprise that Tonjes had joined the emigrants who were just then making their way to CA. So the following year Behrend made preparations to go to the far west and through the aid of a friend accomplished the journey, landing at the "Long wharf" in San Francisco on April 1st, 1857. He had made the journey by steamer by way of Panama, and it was not long before he found his brother, who was then doing a prosperous business in San Francisco.
After serving with his brother for two years he opened a grocery store on the old Mission Toll Road and started the business a few days before Christmas of 1859. The land is now the corner of Eleventh and Mission Streets.
In 1887 he disposed of his grocery stock and decided to deal in hardware. At that time he engaged into partnership with his brother, Fabian, who was the first in his family to have come to CA, and who was engaged in mining at the time Behrend had arrived in CA.
He married in 1874 to Miss Anna MILLER, native of WI and of German descent. They had six children but lost one. Martin B.; Maria (Mrs. J. Frank WALTER); Anna Dorothea (Mrs. ROLLER), a dentist; Behrend A. and Wesley.
Allen, Thomas F. page 728 History of Santa Cruz, San Benito, Monterey & San Luis Obispo Cos. - 1903
Thomas F. ALLEN was born July 11 1876 in Watsonville. His father, Thomas ALLEN, was born in England and came to America as a young man. Via Central America he reached the desired destination, San Francisco, and located near Watsonville in the early '60s, and lived there until he died in 1899.
His wife was Anna (GILMORE) ALLEN, born in Ireland, and the mother of two children, Thomas F. and Anna J. ALLEN.
Hope this helps you in your search. You may want to have the CADI searched for a Thomas and Anna ALLEN who may have died in the Santa Cruz area.

Tupper, John B Page 594 History of Sonoma County - 1880
John Bradford TUPPER was born in Barnard VT on July 29 1829. When he was seven the family moved to Claremont, Sullivan County, NH. In 1845 John was in poor health so he took a sea voyage and set out to visit the Sandwich Islands and returned in 1849 as a fourth mate. That winter he spent with his parents and in March 1850 he took passage on the "California Packet" for CA.
This was the ship's first trip and she arrived in San Francisco on August 25th. He immediately went to Bodega and conducted a saw-mill for four months, when the company failed. Eventually he went on foot to the mines in Mokelumne Hill. Finally he located at a mining town called "Poker Flat." There he produced (with his Yankee ingenuity) an artistic bowling-alley for amusement of the population. Not only was a fund of amusement derived from this antiquated game, but John received quite a source of income. In 1864 he took up residence in Petaluma and worked at the trade of carpenter. He was married in San Francisco, February, 1864, to Martha DOUGLAS who died in October, 1867. They had Martha E., John B., Etta J., Susan E., Edwin E. (now dead), Carrie B., and Emma. He married Mrs. Elizabeth TUPPER on April 11 1876. She had two sons by her first marriage, Kimball and Otis TUPPER.
And now, the 'rest of the story' - from the pioneer card:
John Bradford TUPPER was the son of Seth TUPPER and Sarah (BRADFORD) TUPPER. He was born on the Isle of Holdt, ME on 29 July 1829 (you will have to decide which place was his birth place). Sarah BRADFORD was the 4th cousin of Gov. BRADFORD of MA. He went to sea at age 16.
He married (1) Martha DOUGLAS Jan 13 1854 in San Francisco, she died Oct, 1869. (information differs here as well) He married (2) Mrs. Elizabeth KIMBALL TUPPER (wife of his brother, Irwin) on 11 Apr 1876 in Petaluma (this matches).
He died in Los Gatos on 2 March 1913. John B. TUPPER, age 84, died 3-2-1913
#10693
From the Sept 1935 card it indicates the following children: daughter: Mrs. Wm. S. WALTERS (Susanne) Mrs. Emma Linda COFFMAN (born 2-18-1869; died Los Angeles Apr 2 1957) and oldest Gd: Mrs. William A. STANLEY, 5th cousin Frank W. TUPPER added to the list of submitters on Nov 1 1935.
There was a handwritten note that said "Mrs. M. E. EVANS was the first white girl born in Petaluma." but I couldn't figure out who that meant.

D. G. WHITING, Heber, 1902. The Whiting ranch was a show place within a few months after Mr. WHITING took hold of the 480 acres shortly after water was available in the main canal which ran along the edge of his ranch. Mr. WHITING brought in the first pure Jersey dairy cows, and his experience as a dairyman for years made him the leader in that line. Mr. WHITING belonged to the class of American farmers typical of the best citizenship.
He was born in Aldudes, province of Basses-Pyrennes, France on Feb 7 1862. During early boyhood he herded sheep for his father and in 1877 at the age of 15 he and an older brother sailed from Liverpool, England for Ney York City. They immediately came across the continent to CA, traveling on an emigrant train which required 16 days to make the trip. They landed at Los Angeles, where he reamained a week and then proceeded to Cucawuyng Los Angeles. Children are Dominica, who engaged ion teaching music and Bernardo who was a plummer by trade.
