David, I saw the reference to Mark Leavenworth being San Jose's mayor and thought I'd contribute the info I had. He is the only Leavenworth listed in the book, and as you can see he only had two brief paragraphs. It is taken from Clyde Arbuckle's 'History of San Jose'. On page 38: "Other projects followed in quick succession, matching the townspeople's increasing civic pride. Quinby's momentum had continued into the administration of Mark Leavenworth, who took over as mayor on April 20, 1868. Leavenworth did not inherit the stupefying handicap of perennial debt that had plagued his predecessors in office. If anything, he had a comparatively easy time. Yet, he served only one term, and turned the office over to Adolph Pfister on April 18, 1870." I'm also posting to NORCAL and the Santa Clara mailing list for the archives.

Cann" <decann@infi.net> Subject: Fwd: RE: [CASANFRA] Joseph F. Schottler (1846-1914) I was not aware of that, but it would make sense because Joseph's wife was descended from the Leavenworth line. If you do find anything further about them, I would be very grateful to you. I thank you for your efforts.

He remained an active judge beyond this and assisted in a Leavenworth family genealogy written in 1873. I think that you may find this old genealogy available on the Internet. Let me take some time to look through my records.
