He is described as a rough, coarse man of very dark complexion, but energetic and brave. He had a wife iu Sinaloa. I. (Leonardo, Luis, and

Ide (Wm Brown), 1845, nat. of Mass. of pilgrim ancestry, b. in 1786, who worked as a carpenter in Vt and N. H. to '33, and in '34-44 as carpenter, farmer, and sometimes teacher, in Ohio and Ill. In '45 he came overland in the Grigsby-Ide party with his wife (Susan G. Haskell, married in '20), 4 sons, and a daughter. iv. 578-81, 587. He encamped for the winter on Thomes' rancho, and in the spring of '46 moved into a cabin on Belden's rancho, Te- hama Co., owned by Ide later. In June '46 he joined the Bear party, being apparently one of the few settlers who acted in good faith and was induced to believe the false reports that the Americans were in danger. After the oc- cupation of Sonora and the departure of Capt. Grigsby, Ide was chosen com- mandant of the Bears, and held that position until the reorganization of the

forces under Frémont in July, just before the cause was merged in that of the U. S. For his acts in this capacity, including much that throws light on the peculiar character of the man, see v. 78-100, 104, 110, 115-19, 145-60, 173, 179-84, 231; or, better still, all the chapters relating to the Bear movement. Ide soon came to regard himself as leader in a grand revolutionary movement, as the conqueror of Cal .; his men regarded him simply as temporary com- mandant at Sonora, chosen to that position for his zeal in the cause and some educational advantages, and they were willing to indulge him in harmless eccentricities, paying but slight attention to his grandiloquent proclamations, or to his peculiar views of himself and the republic he thought he had founded. The assumption of the command by Fremont was regarded by Ide as a grievous wrong to himself; but his views and writings on this subject -- re- specting which his idiosyncrasy came very near to insanity-are fully presented elsewhere. After the change he served as a private in the Cal. Bat. during the first expedition to the south, but returned to Sonoma iu Sept. v. 298; and to the Sac. Valley in Nov. In April '47 he was at Sonoma, taking part in a public meeting in behalf of Alcalde Nash. v. 609; on June 7th he was ap- pointed by Gov. Mason surveyor for the northern department; on the 17th he married a couple at Cache Cr .; in July was referee in a slander case at So- noma; and in '48 was at Mont. In '48-9 he had some experience in the mines, but the home of his family in these and later years was on the rancho Bar- ranca Colorada, bought of Belden, near Red Bluff, claimed by him in '52. iv. 670; and confirmed to his heirs in '55. In '51-2 he seems to have held pretty nearly all the county offices in Colusa at the same time, the highest being that of county judge, and the seat of his govt being at Monroe's rancho, where he died in Dec. '52. He retained to the end his fondness for long re- ports and for political theorizing, but with all his eccentricity he was always a most worthy and honest man, and had somewhat remarkable tact and exec- utive ability in several directions. The Biographic Sketch published in '80 by his brother is noticed in v. 1SS-9. It is stated by several writers, including Belden aud Baldridge, that Ide was a Mormon, but I have found no positive evidence on the subject. Mrs I. died a few years before her husband. Infor- mation about the children is meagre. The oldest son, James M., lived long in Colusa and Tehama counties, then went to Utah, where he died in '78. WVm H. worked for Sutter a while in '45, then went south to the Sta Cruz region, and is said to have been held a prisoner by Castro for a while in '46. Daniel and Lemuel, small children in '45, lived with the family in Telama, and I think one of them still survived in '85. The daughter, Sarah E., be- came Mrs Hcaly, and lived at Sta Cruz in 'S0, when she contributed her recollections of the overland trip, with other material, for the Biog. Sketch. There were 4 other children, but of the 9 only 2 survived in 'S0.

Padre Antonio is remembered as stout and dark in person, ami- alle in disposition, kind to his neophytes, but strict in all religious matters. Ile left Cal. in '56 or a little later, and in '71 was still living in the city of Mcx., blind and indigent, probably the last survivor of the Fernandinos. J.
(José Joaquin), 1827, or perhaps '28, Mex. friar of S. Fernando college, brother of Antonio, whose missionary service was at S. Luis Rey in '27-30, Sta Cruz '30-3, Sta Ines '33-50, S.

Padre Joaquin re- sembled Antonio in most respects, being somewhat shorter in stature and less affable or more reserved in manner, being a very zealous missionary, though sometimes in trouble with his ecclesiastical superiors.
Jimeno Casarin (Manuel), 1828, nat. of Mex., and brother of the friars Jimeno, sub. comisario and contador in the Mont. custom-house in '28-30. ii. 607; iii. 46, 63, 69, 86, 136. In '32 he was sindico of the Mont. ayunt .; in '34 alcalde, and grantee of Salsipuedes; in '35 member of the diputacion and comisionado for the secularization of S. Luis Ob. iii. 291, 354, 673, 678, 682. In '37 he was again vocal, and in '39-42 was Alvarado's sec. of state, besides being Ist vocal and often acting gov. during Alvarado's illness, and grantee of Sta Rosa, Sta B.

In the troubles of '45-7 Don Manuel seems to have taken no active part, but in these and later years gave his whole attention to private business, being also in bad health. He does not appear as claimant for any of the ranchos granted to him. He went to Mex. early in '53, and died there in Dec. of that year. Jimeno was a man of good character and abilities; a faithful official, well fitted for his position as govt secretary; devoted to Mexico, but not bitter in his prejudices against for- eigners; small and lean in physique; vivacious and witty in conversation. His wife, married about '32, was Doña Angustias de la Guerra, who later married Dr Ord, and is still living in '85. There were 11 children, only 2 or 3 of whom survive. Two of the sons-Antonio and Porfirio-were sent east with Lient Sherman in '50 to be educated, and Porfirio was a capt. of Cal. volunteers in the war of '61-5.
