Hi, This is part of Trinity Co., CA taken from the 1885 county directory. Sorry but I have no additional information on these. Only thing is says for sure is if your Ancestor was here in 1885. If there is no occupation it is because none was listed.

The basin is a circular enclosure of about five miles in diameter, and in early days was mined over its entire surface, large yields having been secured from this territory. The town itself, as is entirely consistent with the character of the county of which it is the capital, is built entirely on ground which has been - and some of which still is - good mining ground, many of the buildings standing upon lots which were worked to the bedrock before they were erected. The construction is mostly of brick, and the residences are mostly adorned with flowers and surrounded by orchards, which are cultivated here successfully. Its external communication for freight, express and passengers is by daily stage over the mountains through a favorable pass via Lewiston to Shasta. The distance to Shasta being about forty miles, passengers leaving Weaverville in the morning are enabled to reach San Francisco by the evening of the second day. The entire business of the county centers at Weaverville, saving that of Trinity Centre, and the amount of business transacted is far above the ordinary amount handled by communities of this size, , its business houses including in their list five general stores (one being Chinese), two dry goods and clothing, two groceries, variety, drug and jewelry stores, tailor shops, etc. The Bank of the Estate of M. F. Griffin ships most of the gold dust of the county, and is an important institution to the business interests of the county. The comfort of the travelling public is amply provided for in the two hotels of the place, and the town keeps pace with all other towns of its size in the State by supporting an energetic and thriving paper in the Weekly Trinity Journal, published by Mr. C. W. Craig. Mr. James Morris, landlord of the New York Hotel, Weaverville, is one of the three members on this Coast of the American Devon Cattle Club. He is one of the leading breeders of thoroughbred Devon cattle in the northern part of the State. The public buildings are embraced in the Court House, a Catholic Church and a fine School building erected at a cost of $7,000. The population is one thousand.
