Hi, Eva! I have suspected for years that he went to California for the Gold Rush and died there. His family stayed in Maine. I don't know where he lived or how/when he died. I would appreciate any help you could give me in adding to our information about him. He was also a sea captain/sailor for years. I have wondered if he transported a shipload of men to the Gold rush and decided to stay there himself. He could have also intentionally gone there in search of gold. Kathryn
