I am looking for information on Elijah (Lige) PERRY who came to California around 1850. His wife Adeline/Celia (Mapes) Perry joined him with her two children, George and Delia (from a previous marriage) after sailing around the Cape, voyage paid for with gold he had found. My gggf John Francis PERRY was born in Fiddletown (now Oleta) in 1858. I found an old census that indicates he was born around 1823, but no specifics on where he was from. He apparently came west with pal, John SPARKS. Thank you, Laura Jones LJADVENTUR@aol.com
