    1. Re: [CAMARIPO] Where is Lewis'?

    3. Thanks everyone who answered my question about Lewis'. My ancestor John C. Holley is listed as residing at Green Mountain in the 1875 and 1876 Great Registers, but as living in Lewis' in the 1877, 1879 and 1880 Great Registers. If his 1880 homestead application is correct, then it is likely that he did not move but he simply stated his "Local Residence" differently. By the way, in case anyone is interested, his witnesses were Henry I (J?) White of Buchanan Hollow (near Friant, Fresno Co), who knew him since 1855 or 1856 and J[oseph] G. Sullivan "of Mariposa" (and also Buchanan), who knew him since about 1871. [Also, John Holley's neighbor and witness in his 1861 pre-emption claim in Merced Co. (near Snelling) was John H. Forman. NOTE: When John moved onto the land in 1854 it was still part of Mariposa Co.] I would be interested in talking to anyone who has one of the above people in their line. Thanks again, - Mike
