Does anyone know of a village in one of the Grant County towns which was called New California? I could swear I saw it while seeking which town Fennimore was listed with in the 1850 census. Could have been in Iowa County. Di <--- Eye weary from census (& other) reading and Olympic spectating.

Di, the Getty Thesaurus has these listings for "New California": 1. Marble Hill.....................(inhabited place) (N & C Am., USA, Missouri, Bollinger)[2059655] New California 2.

Kirkpatrick that included the text, "born 3 December 1846 at New California, Wisconsin" but the link didn't work. No hits from hotbot.
