Can someone in or near the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library do me a favor? I just heard of a "Pioneer Card Record" that may have been filled out when a pioneer arrived in California. The info from those cards is in the "California Information File" available at, among other places, the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library. Apparently the original cards are considered to be "rare" and are kept in a secure area of the Sacramento library. Anyway, if someone could look up the California Information File and see if anything is available for Reuben Miller Dillon. He was reportedly born in 1832 in Kentucky and was married in 1857 in Amador County, California. I'm interested in finding out more about Reuben, especially his complete date and place of birth, his parents, and his siblings, if any. Thank you Bill Dillon (Reuben's great-great grandson)
