Richard, have you checked in the Alta index for these names? Have you checked the CAIF (California Informaton File) for mentions of these names? Sandra To: [email protected] Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] California and B.C. people I am looking for information on two women who were allegedly involved with the San Francisco vigilante movement; Jessie Rice or Heatherington and Fanny Bendixon, who was the consort of one of the leaders before she married Louis Bendixon. I believe he sied in California in the 1870s. Fanny died in Barkerville B.C. in the 1890s and Jessie was murdered there in 1863. Any help would be appreciated. Richard Wright [email protected]
