His name was John Dineen, he was born in Sydney, Australia in 1845 and migrated to the United States with his family prior to 1860. On December 11, 1864 he enlisted as a Corporal at Howland Flat, California and on December 20, 1864 was mustered into "I" Company, California 8th Infantry. In 1868 his family moved from the Sierra town of Poker Flat to San Francisco, California , but after the War John returned to the Sierras . In 1870, the last record I have relating to John Dineen, he was recorded in the California 1870 Census Records as living in Table Rock, California in ; being 22 years of age, working as a miner and living with a Mr. William Heckles.
