Hi Everyone, Does anyone happen to know anything about Francis S. SPRING, Jonathan H. SPRING, or Charlotte B. SPRING of San Francisco? The time period is from the late 1860s to at least 1902. I am doing research on the early beginnings of Salinas City in Monterey County. Francis S. SPRING purchased a section of the old Rancho Nacional, probably from James Bryant HILL, in 1869. SPRING then subdivided the land into building lots and began selling the lots in the early 1870s. One of the purchasers was Amos M. AUSTIN in 1874. On the 15th day of January 1902, Jonathan H. SPRING and Charlotte B. SPRING filed a map of F.S. SPRING’s Addition to Salinas City with the Monterey County Recorder’s Office at the request of WINHAM Bros. I am interested in the family history of the SPRING family for inclusion in the documentation. The Monterey County Historical Society nows owns one of the houses that were built in SPRING’s Addition in 1898. I am preparing a booklet documenting the history of the land and the house. Thank you for any assistance, Anita C. Monterey County

Anita There was Spring that helped to develop, part of North Berkeley, about 1900-1920, I wonder, if there is a family connection. George --- "Anita C.
