Is it on Perry Creek? I think I've seen the house, the one time I visited Sierraville in about 2004 or 2005. But I wasn't bold enough to just walk up and knock on the door. And that also gives me a better timeline. 1858, huh? I had thought that Charles and Moses both moved to California some time between 1860 and 1870. They're both in Sierraville in the census records for 1870, but Moses was in Wyoming in the 1870 census. Now that you gave the 1858 date, I checked and clearly Charles was there by 1860. So it seems like Charles went there first and set up his homestead and then Moses joined him later. I'd love to hear about any research you've done on the house or on Charles and Margaret (if you're still on ancestry.com - I know I tend to sign up for a few months or a year and then let my account lapse).
