He came in a party which I am unable to idea- tify, and most of the members of which went to Or. from Ft Hall. He was eraployed as a gunsmith by Sutter in '45-7, and possibly served in the Cul. Bat., having a Cal. claim for work (v. 462). In Aug. '47 he moved with his family across the Sac. Riv., where be bought a rancho and built a house. He was murdered in May '49. In '50 the widow had the town site of Washington laid out on her land; married Dr E. C. Taylor in '51; and died at Washing- ton in '83. The daughter Maggie became Mrs M. A. Hunt, and in '84, living at Washington, furnished me information about her family. Another daugh- ter, Harriet, in 'S1 Mrs Cooke, was born-prob. at the fort, though Mrs Hunt is sure it was at Washington -- Feb. 21, '47; and a son Wmn according to the newspapers in '48. McD.

'33, to have been 12 years in Cal., or since '22; while in some accounts he is said to have visited Cal. in '13 and returned in '23. I think it likely he came on the Rover with Capt. Cooper. In '28 he was hap- tized at S. Carlos as Edward Manuel. I have his letter of May '28. In "29 he appears in a Mont. list as a single carpenter, age 34. In '30 he bought Geo. Allen's interest in a Mont. inn for $90, becoming a partner of Wm Gralbatch. ii. 609; was naturalized in '33; got an otter-hunting license in '34, making a trip with Dye. iii. 395; still at Mont. '35. In '38, or perhaps a year or two carlier, he settled with James Dawson on the Estero Americano rancho near Bodega, iv. 117, being recorded in that year as agent for Vallejo and for the H. B. Co. In '39 he obtained a grant of the rancho, and is said to have left his partner's name out of the title, for which he was flogged by the irate Daw- som, who proceeded to saw their house in two and move his half to another rancho. iii. 712; iv. 129. In '40 he guided Spalding of the Lausanne to S.F. iv. 172; and was in trouble ou account of a Frenchman found murdered on his place. He was at N.

(Wmn H.), 1846, Scotch physician at Mont., who possibly came a year or two earlier; often named in records of '46-8 at Mont., S. José, and Sac., where in '48 he seems to have been engaged in trade. In '52 he was claimant for the Jacinto rancho, Colusa. iv. 671. He married, I think, a daughter of Estévan Munrás; and his son Robert, who in '76 gave me a valuable vol. of old mission records, still lives in '85 at Mont. or S.F. Mckeever (James), 1844, hunter and ad- venturer of the plains known as Capt. Jack, killed in Idaho '77; claimed to have landed at S.F. in 44, to have aided in the revolt and war of '46-7, and

MCKINLEY-McLOUGHLIN.
McKinley (James), 1824, Scotch sailor boy left at S. F. or Sta B. by a whaler. ii. 526. This is the statement usually made in accounts of his lite, and it is also said that he was but 11 years old, all of which may he errone- ous. He is constantly named in commercial records from '30, when he was agent for Capt. Cooper at Mont., travelling much of the time, but making Mont. his home, and joining the comp. extranjera in '32. iii. 221. I:1 '35 he went to Los Ang. as agent for Larkin; in '36 is named in a padron as a trader, aged 33; and from this year to '40 and later was owner of the Ayacucho schr, making trips up and down the coast. iv. 101, 117. Perhaps arrested as a mat- ter of form in' 40. iv. 17. From '42 in partnership with Fitch and Paty, but it is hard to say what place he regarded as home; I have many letters writ- ten by him at different points. From '43 the firm had a store at S.F. v. 682; in '44-5 McK. took a leading part at Los Ang. in the movement of southern foreigners against Micheltorena, iv. 405, 505-8; also in '44-5 was one of the purchasers of the mission estates of S. Jnan Cap. and S. Luis Ob. iv. 553, 627, 655, 639; v. 558. In '46 he seems to have transferred his residence from Los Ang. to Mont., where in Jan.'47 he was placed under arrest by Lieut Maddox with a view of extorting information about Calif. operations in the south. Al- viso Doc., 209-10. He married Cármen, daughter of José Amesti, in '48; was claimant in '52 for ranchos in Mont. and S. Luis Ob. counties. iv. 655; and died at Mont. in '75, leaving several children. Don Santiago was a man of good repute throughout his long career in Cal. I have a letter from his mother in '43. McK. (J.), IS41, boatswain on the U. S. St Louis. Mckinney (Wm S.), 1847, mr of the Primavera. v. 580. Mckinstry (Geo., Jr), 1846, overl. immig., who became the Ist sheriff of the northern district at Sntter's Fort '46-7. v. 675; active in relief measures for the Donner party, v. 538, on which subject his letters were published in the S.F. Star; passenger on the Ist steamer to Sac. '47. v. 579; also owner of a S.F. lot. v. 678. He was some- what prominent in public affairs at Sac. in early inining times; and had a trading post on the Cosumnes '49-50. [ find no record of him from that time till '71-4, wlien he was a physician at Old S. Diego, and gave me the valuable original Mckinstry Papers, including some of his summons to jurors, etc., as sheriff; and also some important records on the Donner party. He was an eccentric character while at S. Diego, spending much of his time in long tours among the Ind. Beyond a vague rumor of his death before '80, I have no trace of him after '74.
McLanahan (T.), 1847, mid. on the U.S. Columbus; doubtful. McLane, 1846, mr of the Paladin. v. 579. McL. (Geo.), 1839, at Mont. '39-40; named in Larkin's books. McL. (Louis), 1846, nat. of Del., b. '19, entered the navy '35, and came to Cal. as passed mid. on the Savannah. He served with Fauntleroy's dragoons. v. 232, 289; and took a prominent part in recruit- ing and organizing the Cal. Bat., becoming capt. of the artill. comp., and later in the campaign ranking as major. vi. 359, 361. He was one of Frémont's commissioners who signed the treaty of Cahnenga, closing the war. v. 404-5, 434. In '50 he resigned his position in the navy and returned to Cal. to en- gage in a series of important industrial and financial enterprises, being man- ager of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express from '55 to '68, and of the Nevada Bank from '75 to '82. He left Cal. a little later, but is still living in '85. His wife was Sophie Hoffinan of Baltimore, and there were 8 children. Portrait in Contemp. Biog. MeLannan, 1846, from Hon. on the Euphemin. McLarey, 1846, sergt Co. B. artill. Cal. Bat. v. 358. McLean (Geo.), 1817, mr of the Currency Lass. '47-8; perhaps ' McLane' of '39.

Possibly there was a James Mc- M. in the same party. v. 573. He settled on Putah Creek, Solano Co., and died at Dixon in '84 at the age of 65.

MeNamara (Eugene), 1846, Irish priest who had a grand scheme for col- onizing Cal. with Irishmen to the glory of God and the discomfiture of the Yankees.

McPherson (John C.), 1848; Scotchmau of good education and considera- ble ability as a writer; but eccentric to the verge of insanity, and almost constantly under the influence of liquor in his later years. It is not quite elcar how he came, but apparently overl. from Mo., where he had been a teacher; though it is also said that he went to Texas and served in the Mex. war. He appeared in the mines in '48, and is mentioned by Burnett and others as the author of a popular song, ' Yuba, dear Yuba,' and other poct- ical effusions. He spent his later years in wandering about the country and writing pioneer sketches for the newspapers, under the signature of Juanita. Many of his sketches were of real value, though generally overburdened with culogy; and the author was always an inoffensive, kind-hearted man. In '80 he fell through the trestle-work of a railroad bridge over the Tuolumne Riv. and was killed. McQuade (Peter), 1836, at Mont. McQuien (D.), 1848, passp. from Hon.

F., age 24; took part in the Micheltorena campaign, capturing Manuel Castro. iv. 486-7; in '45 named at Mont. and at N. Helv., where he had a fight with Geo. Davis.
