He may have been the Tom Lewis who accompanied John Brown on his famous ride of '46. iii. 393, 409; iv. 18, 33; v. 304. L.
(Thomas), 1844, Engl., age 30, at S.F. L. (Wm), 1840, naturalized this year and named on Larkin's books. iv. 120. At S.F. and S. José in '41; in '45 at N. Helv., where he was married in Dec. His wife may be the Mrs L. who married Perry McCoon in Feb '46, and died in June.
Libbey (Elliott), 1845, mr of the Tasso '45-S; also of the Com. Shubrick in '47. iv. 569; v. 577, 580. For assault on him and Spear at S.F., see iv. 589, 665-6. According to Thomes there was a 'woman in the case.' Capt. L. was the owner of a town lot in '46 (v. 685), and in 54 lived at S. Rafael. It is pos- sible that he visited Cal. on some vessel from Hon. earlier than '45. Lichten- stein, see 'Lightstone.' Lick (James), 1848, nat. of Pa, a piano-maker by trade, who had lived for over 20 years in Buenos Aires, Chile, and Peru, and who came to S.F. from Callao on the Lady Adams, arriving Jan. 7, '48. He had already a small fortune, which he invested in S.F. lands (v. 678), and patiently waited for the increase in the value of his real estate to make him immensely wealthy. Ainong his enterprises of later years were a grand flouring mill at S. José, finished with mahogany iu the interior, and the Lick House, in which some of the fine decorations in wood are the work of his own hands. He was an honest, industrious man, of much common sense, though noted for his many eccentricities and whims, and in his later years of irritable and thor- oughly disagreeable temperament. He had no family, except an illegitimate son, who was recognized by him and spent some years with him in Cal. He took a deep interest from the first in the Society of Cal. Pioneers, to which he made liberal gifts. His great and well-merited fame rests on the final dis- position of his millions, which, after provision for liis relatives, were devoted to various scientific, charitable, and educational enterprises, for the benefit of the donor's adopted state. He died in '76, at the age of 'S0; and after the usual delays caused by financial and legal complications, the results of Lick's bequests are beginning, in '85, to assume practical shape.
Light (Allen B.), 1835, negro, who deserted from the Pilgrim, or some other vessel, and became an otter-hunter. iii. 413. He was known as Black Steward, his encounter with a grizzly bear in the Sta B. region being men- tioned by Alfred Robinson, and other adventures by Nidever. He was one of Graham's men in '36-8; and in '39, being a naturalized resident of Sta B., was appointed by the govt agent to prevent illegal otter-hunting. iv. 91; at Los Ang. in '41, and in '46-8 at S. Diego, still a hunter. L. (James), 1846, nat. of Me, and one of the Mormon Col., with wife and child, though some- times accredited to the N. Y. Vol. v. 546. He lived in S. Joaq., and later at Sanzalito; but from '50 was a resident of Humboldt Co., where he died at Arcata in '81. His wife, Mary J., died in '75. Lightstone (Frank), 1845, German soap-maker and chandler; original name Franz Lichtenstein, who came from Or. in the McMahon-Clyman party, and settled at S. José '46. iv. 572, 487; still living in Sta Clara Čo., I think, in 'S5.
Lillie (Leonard G.), 1846, nat. of N. Y., prob. overl. immig. from III., and settler in Napa Val. He died at Calistoga in '72, age 48, leaving a widow and

6 children. Limantour (Joseph Yves), 1841, Fr. trader in Mex., who came to Cal. as sup. of the Ayacucho. iv. 279, 563. The schr was wrecked near Pt Reyes, and L. opened a store at S.F. to dispose of the cargo '41-2. He came back in '43-4, '47, and '52-3. v. 449, 576. During the visit of '43-4 he furnished aid to Gov. Micheltorena, and received in return, as there seems to be no reason to douht, several grants of land. In '52-3 he presented his claims before theland commission. iv. 352, 386, 402, 511, 559, 634. 655, 671-4. Hischief claimn, to about half the site of San Francisco, was at first confirmed by the commission; but in '58 was rejected by the district court, the grant being pronounced a forgery supported by false testimony. This famous case is more fully noticed elsewhere (see vol. vi.). The truth would seem to be that L. had really obtained grants of land at S.F. and elsewhere; but that in later years, by forged papers and with the aid of Ex-gov. Micheltorena, he over- reached himself by attempting to improve the location and extent of his grants. He is still, in 'S5, a wealthy resident of the City of Mexico. Lim- cante (Blas), 1806, sailor on the Peacock, arrested at S. Juan Cap. ii. 38. Limon (Cayetano), 1781-2, Mex. alférez, who came to Cal. in com. of escort to Rivera's colony. i. 312-4, 361, 364-5.

who came overland with Bryant, being wounded on the way by Ind. v. 528. He was active in raising recruits for the war, and served as lient of Co. H, Cal. Bat., acting also as asst Q. M. v. 359, 361. In this connection he is often called Geo. M. Lippincott, but 1 find no evidence that there were two of the name. In '47-S he lived at S.F., being a gambler by profession, owner of town lots, v. 678, and a candidate for the council. v. 650. He was a member of the constit. convention of '49, representing S. Joaq. Co. in the 1st legislature, and Calaveras in those of '55 and '61. He was a popular man as trader, politi- cian, and 'one of the boys.' He died in N. J. '70, at the age of 53. Lippett (Francis J.), 1847, nat. of R. I., capt. Co. F, N.Y.Vol., and in com. of the garrison at Sta B. v. 504, 514, 584, 631; owner of a town lot, v. GS5, and from '48 a lawyer at S.F. to '52 or later. v. GS6; member of the constit. con- vention of '49; col of Ist Cal. infantry in war of 'G1-5; at Providence, R. I., '71; Boston, '74, and Washington, D.C.,'S2. Lisa (Dan.), 1816, nat. of Mass. who came on the Lydia, and was baptized at Sta B. in '18 as Daniel Martir José de Sta Rosa. The name was prob. Daniel Eleazer, the surname being unknown. L. (José Manuel), 1816, brother cf Dan., bapt. at Sta B. 116. ii.

Little, 1837, inr of the Griffon. iv. 104; perhaps Wm C. iv. 141. L. (Angust), 1847, owner of S.F. lot. L. (John), 1848(?), trader and postmaster at Coloma. L. (Milton), 1843, nat. of N. Y. and overl. immig. of the Walker-Chiles party, being weunded by Ind. on the trip. iv. 392, 394, 400. He settled at Mont. as a trader in '44, and from that time his name constantly appears in various records. He got a carta in '41, was a partner of Belden in '45, was 2d alcalde in '46, serving on the Ist jury, and having a Cal. claim. v. 280, 637 (462). In '48 he married Mary Eagar, also visiting the gold mines, After '49 he continued to trade at Mont., holding several county offices, be- ing claimant for lands, iv. 656, and dying in '79 at the age of '67. He left a widow and several children. Littlefield (Geo.), 1845, mr of the Hopewell. iv. 566.
Littlejohn (David), IS24, Scotch farmer and carpenter from Callao on one of llartnell's vessels. ii. 526; baptized in '25 at S. Carlos as Francisco Javier David; joined the comp. extranjera in '32. iii. 221; naturalized in '33, being then 40 years old, married to a native, and owner of seme cattle. In '34 he was grantee of Carneros rancho, Mont. Co., later confirmed to his heirs. iii. 677; named often in Larkin's accounts and other records '34-46. Being par- tially insane (?), he objected to the plundering of his rancho by Frémont's men and narrowly escaped with his life. He died a little later, and his widow married José M. Castro before '50. Littleten (John), 1826, Engl. sailer who landed sick at Mont. from the Rover. iii. 176; ii. 609. In '29, being 22 years old, he worked at the inn when able; lived with Larkin in '36; and is last mentioned in '37.
Livermore (Robert), 1822, nat. of London, b. 1799, apprenticed to a mason, from whom he ran away in '16 and went to sea. After serving in the U.S. navy he left that service on the S. Amer. coast, and joined the allied fleet under Lord Cochrane, taking part on the Esmeralda in the naval operations at Callao (which were in '20-1), and perhaps joining an exped. to the north (though be could not apparently have been in the Gulf of Cal. in '22. See list. N. Mex. St., ii.). Leaving the naval service, he shipped on the Colonel Young, a trading craft, from which he deserted in Cal., probably in '22, the date of her arrival, ii. 478, but possibly later on another trip of '25. iii. 29. There is a strange confusion in records of his coming, the date being given by different writers all the way from '16 to '29. He is understood to have lived some years on the Laguna, or Alvires, rancho, spending some time in the south at S. Gabriel, and working in the Sta Clara redwoods; but this was prob. later, as Geo. Frazer, of '33, is named as his comrade. The earliest original record is in '29, when, being maj. on the rancho of Torre and Mulligan, he claimed te be 23 years old, and to have come in '19, intending to remain and marry, St. Pap. Sac., xiii. 3, both of which statements must be erroneous. In another record of '29, being a resident of S. José, 'Roberto' said he had de-

serted from the Conoliango about '21, was 22 years old, and had been bap- tized at Sta Clara (as Juan Bautista Roberto). Dept. St. Pap., xix. 3. I have a receipt of money from L., dated Los Pozitos, in '25. Alviso, Doc., 6; but this may be a slip of the pen for '35. He is mentioned at S. José in '30 and '31, but as intending to quit the place. Vallejo, Doc., xxx. 61, 313. In '42 he writes of a cattle-brand that he had used for 15 years (since '27). Estudillo, Doc., ii. 54. Soon after '30 he went to the Tularcitos rancho, where he married Josefa Higuera, widow of Fuentes Molina, as early as '34, if we follow the padron of '41, which makes his daughter Casimira 6 years old, though the date is gen- erally given as later; and before '37-when Edwards visited him-he had es- tablished himself on the Pozitos rancho, in what was later called Livermore Valley, and where he spent the rest of his life. iv. 86, 117. In '39 he was ap- parently granted the rancho on Apr. Sth. Leg. Rec., iii. 61; but 2 days later it was granted to Salvio Pacheco, prob. as a formality, L. not being a citizen. He at once bought the property in partnership with José Noriega, whose in- terest lie purchased later. In a list of foreigners of '40-when L. was per- haps arrested, iv. 17-as per extract furnished by J. A. Forbes for my use, L. is said to be 36 years old, and to have come with Mancisidor on the Coro- nel Fon 20 years ago. In '40-1 he had some dealings with Sutter, iv. 134, 233, being called 39 years old in a padron; and in all these years he ha:l much trouble with the Ind., being wounded in one of his exped. In '44 he was naturalized, being a resid. for 'over 20 years,' and having a large family. In '46 he rendercd some service in carrying despatches. v. 246-7; about this time purchased the Cañada de los Vaqueros of the Alvisos; and his place was a well-known station on the route from Mont. and S. José to Sac. The two ranchos were later confirmed to him. iii. 712; iv. 671; and the former sailor became a rich man. His reputation is that of a hospitable and honest man, a good representative of his class. In '51, through the medium of a neighbor named Strickland, who had a sister living in England, L. resumed commun. with his relatives after 35 years of silence. The original corresp., Livermore Papers, MS., chiefly of his brother, Wm C., in London, has been furnished to me by Valentin Alviso, bis son-in-law. The corresp. extended from '51 to '57, showing L.'s father to have died iu '26 and his mother in '4S, but several brothers, sisters, and other relatives still survived; and the English builder's views and advice respecting Cal. ranchero life must have been more amusing than instructive to Don Roberto. One suggestion was to surround his rancho with a ditch, and another to brand his cattle. Livermore died in '58. Portrait in Halley's Centen. Year-Book, 563. He left a widow and 8 children. His son Robert, b. in '40, still resides, '85, in Livermore Valley with wife, Teresa Ber- nal, and 6 children. Portrait in Alam. Co. Hist., 16. One of the daughters, Josefa, is the wife of Valentin Alviso.
