Looking for any an and all McCLENAHANS............... Tom M
Hello List, I am researching G.B. VICINI and his wife Catherine. He had a son Charles Peter VICINI who was born in Angels Camp, but resided in Jackson, CA. He retired to San Francisco where he lived out the rest of his days. I am interesting in the whole family line. Would like to know who were the rest of G.B.'s children. Would also like to know what G.B. stands for. Any help, lining out this family line would be most appreciated. Thank you very much! Jean Hehn Colorado
Jacqueline.. MOTHER LODE The Story of Californias Gold Rush by Louis J. Stellman written 1934. Colonel William McClure "Some dispute exists as to where and how the hydraulic principle was first employed. Bancroft, a careful historian, gives the credit to "Frenchy" Chabot of Buckeye Hill, Nevada County, California. Bancroft states that there was a similiar experiment at Yankee Jim's. Both are dated in the spring of 1852. Stewart is convinced from his researches that Colonel William McClure built the first hydraulic rig at Yankee Jim's. It was an uncovered flume mounted on a trestle set on a steep grade. The water rushing down this flume was directed against the bank which McClure was mining for gold. It was at first a stationary apparatus. Later McClure equipped the end section with hinges. This made it possible to shift the stream. Chabot had a rig like McClure's, says Stewart, except that the flume was covered and fastened down with iron clamps. But, instead of discharging its waters directly from the sluicebox, the apparatus terminated in a section of hose which not only concentrated the pressure but gave wide flexibility to the stream direction. Whether Chabot saw McClure's rig before making his own, history does not record." J.M. Moss In regard to the Arroyo Seco Grant..."some of the settlers paid the sums demanded, but most of them did not. Both they and Pico had spent large sums in litigation, and the latter, impoverished and discouraged, unloaded the whole Arroyo Seco problem on a group of land manipulators : J.M. Moss, H.W. Carpenter, E.F. Beals, and Herman Wohler". Jackie in California kimmee@volcano.net

Hello. I am looking for anyone researching the Penberthy family in Angels Camp or Altaville, particularly for any Penberthy who may have married a Rebecca Estella Schmadeke or Tripp, probably some time between 1905 and 1940. Thank you, Stephanie Colorado

Just have to share this little tidbit of history. In the "old days" a cake was made from flour, sugar, eggs, etc. Now you either buy a mix & add water or buy ready made. Now you have a town that's outgrown its self & sections are made into other names, ie: Sacramento has now sectioned off & become Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Rio Linda, etc. In the "old days" a town was just made from dirt, rocks, trees & water. The following article was taken from April 1, 1898 Amador Dispatch in Amador County, unknown author, possibly editor? PALOMA We visited the new town of Paloma, above the Gwin Mine, on Monday last and found a thriving little village that has sprung into existence in a few months. There are a number of residence buildings, 2 story hotel, butcher shop, blacksmith shop, restaurant, saloons, drug store, 2 stores, post office, Wells Fargo & Co. express, a church, school & 2 societies, Foresters & K.O.T.M. Mrs. D. LAMPSON of Rail Road Flat is in charge of the hotel dining room, the business being conducted by herself & son, Orlando. Joseph MARACCI, formerly of Jackson, has just opened a restaurant at short notice. The town is eligibly located and has good water facilities. It will, no doubt, be a lively place.
Emelio D. ARAYA, whose parents, Rosario ARAYA & Francesca ADAVENA ARAYA, came from Valpariso Chile in 1853, was born in Calaveras County Aug 1866. In the 1900 Census of Amador County, Emelio is listed with a wife Virginia born 1854 & the following step-children: Ceneza Chabolla b Sept 1881 step-daughter Jesus M. Chabolla b Dec 1883 step-daughter Eva Gomez b Oct 1886 step-daughter This is the last place Emelio appears. Emelio had a brother Adolph who died in Jackson, Amador County 1918. Does anyone have any knowledge of this ARAYA family? Would appreciate any help I can get.

Thought I'd post again for the benefit of new members to see if there are any connections: My name is Linda Teet, and my family and I live in Salem, Oregon. I'm searching for "THOMAS" relatives who lived from 1890+ in Amador and Calaveras Counties. My GF John Thomas moved to Oregon in 1902, but his brothers Henry, Herman and Lawrence may have stayed in the area for some time. I have no information about those brothers, except that Herman married Kate Endres in 1900. (Kate Endres was the sister of my grandmother, Anna Endres Thomas.) I do know that my GF and several of his brothers worked at the Gwin Mine. Members of the list have filled me in about where the mine is, but does anyone know if it's still around? Can visitors go there to see it? I'd love to hear from anyone who has seen references to any of these Thomas's. They seem to have led very quiet lives - good for them, but it certainly makes it difficult for those of us trying to find out about them! Good luck in your searching! Linda
Hello. I am hoping for a clue to my biggest genealogical mystery. The mystery: In 1899 Ray Laughton married Stella Tripp in Angels Camp. He was 25 and a resident of Angels Camp. She was 19 and a resident of Stockton. They had a child and a very short marriage. The child was adopted by John James Schmadeke. I can find hide nor hair of Ray (or Schmadeke for that matter). If anyone can help me to find my great-grandfather, I would be truly grateful. Thank you. Stephanie Denver, CO
I am posting this to warn others about problems with ; Census Microfilm Expeditors 476 E. South Temple , Suite 4 Salt Lake City , UT 84111 website ; www.censusmicrofilm.com e-mail ; gme@nwinfo.net and ; sj@censusmicrofilm.com I was lured to order several microfilm copies from this company with "guarantees" of "speedy delivery" and "low price" . My order was placed in October of 1998 and as of this posting I have not received the order or a refund after numerous contacts with Steven Jensen at this firm . In his occasional replies he repeatedly gave false information to me as to the status of the order and cashed the check when mentioned stopping payment on it .I have copies of all documents and correspondences for those interested . Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau and the United States Postal Inspectors , they have informed me that even they can't order this company to give a refund , but may seek criminal charges . I guess small claims court is next . If you are seeking genealogy resources......consider my experiences with this "Firm". Thank you , Kenneth Sartin researching ; Sartin , Sartain , Sarton , Sarten , Sardin etc. etc.

Yes, you are really subscribed--there just isn't much action on the list. Sorry, I haven't come across any of your Nuners in my research. I am researching the EDDLEMAN, ARMSTRONG, FLOWER names in Calaveras County.

Joseph & Francesca ARAYA (b 1830) both born in Valparaiso, Chili, left their native country in 1853 & settled in Mokelumne Hill until Josephs death about 1872, at which time Francesca moved to West Point. Known children were Carmen (FIGUEROA), two daughters, names unknown, who married a BARDSLEY & LLOYD. Two sons, Adolph & Emelio ARAYA, daughter, Mary Senovia ARAYA b abt 1853 in West Point m Charles Wesley BROWN (b abt 1832) in Brockport NY.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and am looking for information on Jacob Armstrong and family (wife Nancy Eddleman Armstrong). Jacob and Nancy homesteaded in Telegraph City until his death in 1879. Nancy and daughters, Elvira, Amanda and Sarah stayed on the homestead until about 1892. Jacob's daughter Amanda May married Edwin Lincoln Flower in 1885. Children of Amanda and Edwin are Elsie, Flora, Roswell and June Flower. Jacob's son, John Lafayette Armstrong, died in Murphys in 1888--he was married to Wilhelmina Gabel.
