Paul (John A.), 1848 (?), German broker who committed suicide at Oakland in '83. Paulding (Charles), 1833, at Sta B. P. (Josephi), 1832, nat. of Md, trapper and cabinet-maker, who came from N. Mex. in the winter of '32-3, iii. 388, 408, and distinguished himself by making the Ist two billiard- tables in Cal. He was still at Los Ang. in '35, complaining of unjust imprison- ment by the alcalde. He went to N. Mex., but returned during the flush times of '48-52, and after a residence of some years in Sonora returned finally to Los Ang., where he died in '60 at the age of 50; perhaps his name should be written 'Pawlding.'

Peace (James), 1838 (?), nat. of the Orkney Isl., of Scotch and Danish parent- age, who in '75-84-and finally in the S. F. Bulletin of July 18, '85-claims to l:ave deserted from the H. B. Co.'s ship Nereid at S.F. in '18. This vessel came to the N. W. coast in '36, and to Cal. for the Ist time in '38, which I have little doubt was the date of P.'s arrival. The Ist definite record of him is when he was exiled to S Blas in '40 and came back in '41. iv. 18, 33, 119. That he is not licard of in '38-9 is natural enough, and indeed, Brown and Weeks do mention him vaguely about those years; but that he could have lived here in '18-39 withont a trace in the records is very unlikely, especially if, as he says,

he married a Valencia in '35, to say nothing of the fact that if he had bad a native wife he would not have been exiled. He worked as a lumberman and mechanic, and is named in the S.F. padron of '44 as a Scotchman, age 45. For about 30 years, from '47-8, he lived on a farm at Halfmoon Bay; but since '78 has navigated S. F. bay in a sloop, earning a living by catching tish and clams for the S. Matco Co. market down to 'S3. Peacock (John), 1846, Fauntleroy's dragoons (v. 232, 247). Peale (T. R.), 1841, naturalist in the U. S. ex. ex. iv. 241-3.

José, serving also as district attorney and county judge. In later years he established a woollen mill at S. José, where he still lived in 'S1 with wife Ann Smith, and 9 children.

From '45 his home was at S. Diego, where he married María Ant. Estudillo, being the grantee of S. Jacinto Nuevo in '46, and his wife of El Cajon in '45. v. 619; iv. 620-1. He strongly favored the cause of the U. S. in '46-7, acting as juez de paz, as Stockten's aide, with rank of capt. in the Cal. Bat., and in '47-S as collector of customs. v. 286, 320, 360, 385, 572, 575, 618-19. In '49 he represented S. Diego in the constit. con- vention, being one of the most popular and influential members of the Spanish race. He died in '50, leaving a son, Miguel, and two daughters, Elena and Isabel, who inherited his large estate, and are still living, I think, in 'S5. Don Miguel was of a good Span. family, one of his brothers holding a high official position at Madrid; and he was himself an intelligent, scholarly man, of excellent character, who by his courteous affability made friends of all who knew him.

Peirce (Henry Augustus), 1828, nat. of Mass., b. 1808, who went to Hono- Inlu in '25, and thence on the same vessel, the Griffon, com. by his brother, to the N. W. coast as clerk, touching at S.F. on the return in the autumn of '28. iii. 178. From that time for 14 years he was a trader at Honolulu, being a member of the firm P. & Brewer. Somc of his original letters and much of the firm's corresp. are in my possession. Meanwhile he inade many voyages as master to China, Kamchatka, and S. America. In '37 he went on the Peru from N. Y. to Honolulu, and returned via Lima and overland to Buenos Aires. In '38 he married Susan R. Thompson, whose brother Joseph P. is named in this register. In '39 he went to the Islands as part owner of the Morse, and in '41-2 came again to Cal. as mr and owner of the Maryland, going from Cal. to Mazatlan and thence overland to Vera Cruz. I have his original Journals of voyages in '39-42, including the visit to Cal. iv. 209, 224-5, 235, 250, 300, 348-9, 567, 640, 665. Details of Capt. P.'s subsequent adventures are too con- plicated for presentation here, but hardly one of the pioneers registered in this list has had so varied an experience. In '42-9 he was a Boston merchant trading with Pacific ports; and in '49 revisited Cal. on the Montreal, making extensive and unfortunate purchases of land at Sauzalito and the Islands, and in '50-61 resuming his business at Boston, which was nearly ruined by the war of '61-5. Most of his remaining wealth was lost in a Miss. cotton planı- tation in '66-7; and in '69 Peirce was made U. S. minister at the Hawaiian Isl., making the trip by rail to S.F. He held this position till '77, and after a brief term as Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs he came in '78 to S.F., where he has since resided down to '85, being in a sense the oldest living pioneer. Besides the journal mentioned, I have several MS. contributions from Mr P. named in my list of authorities. Portrait in Contemp. Biog., ii. 180. His wife resides in Mass. since '70; he has a son and daughter; and is a great-grandfather. (Capt. Peirce died a few days after the above was writ- ten, in July 'S5.) P.

He lived with Robert Ridley in '4G. v. 678; and in '47 he was sheriff and inspector of hides and tallow, own- ing a S.F. lot. v. 64S. He still lived to testify in land cases in '65. His daughter Hettie C. married John H. Brown in '46, soon leaving him and he- coming apparently Mrs Green. The other daughter is mentioned as the wife of Ed Colea.

598, 716. From 1801 he was a sergt, taking part in several exped. against the lud., and from 1807 comisionado in charge of S. José pueblo. He showed good qualities as a soldier, and was several times recommended for promotion to alf., but failed to secure it. ii. 33, 126, 132, 134, 138, 370, 378, 584, 604. His wife was María Loreto Alviso, and the hirth of a son Ignacio is recorded in 1791. In 1820 he obtained a grant of the S. Antonio raneho, including the sites of the later Oakland and Alameda, which was occupied by his sons perhaps before '25, the rancho buildings-the first erected in Alameda county except at mis- sion S. José-being at S. Antonio, later known as Brooklyn and East Oak- land. ii. 375, 594, 664, 712. Peralta retained his position as comisionado till 1822, and his place on the comp. rolls as active sergt to '26, and as invalido to '41; meanwhile continuing to live at S. José and serving as elector, trcas- urer, and perhaps juez in '30-3. ii. 606; iii. 50, 729. In '4] he appears on the padron as 87 years old, his daughters Josefa and Guadalupe-aged 46 and 23 -living with him. Other daughters were Teodora-grantee of Buacocha, Marin '46, v. 670-and Trinidad. In '42 he divided his S. Antonio rancho be- tween his sons Antonio M., Ignacio, Vicente, and Domingo, and died in '51 at the age of 97. The great value of the lands granted to Peraita, the claim that his daughters were entitled to a share of the property, the alleged insanity of Don Luis at the time of making his will, and various rascalities practised by the land-sharks in later years on some of the heirs, gave rise to complicated litigation which can hardly be regarded as at an end in '85. P. (Miguel), militiaman at S.F. '37. P. (Nicolas N.), at Sta Ana rancho, Los Ang. '39, age 38. The Santiago de Sta Ana rancho had been granted to a Peralta with Yorba in 1809. ii. 112, 172. P.

(Eulalia), nat. of Loreto, long a resid. of S. Gabriel, and famous for her reputed great age- 140 years-at the time of her death in '78. The evidence respecting her age is too complicated for presentment in detail here; but 30 years at least of the reputed 140 rest on the incorrect assumption that she came with the Ist exped. in 1769. She really came with her husband, Antonio Guillen, a soldier of the S. Diego comp., about 1800, Guillen's name first appearing in 1803. If, as she states, she was married at 15, and her oldest child, l'etra, was 11 years old on arrival at S. Diego, she was less than 30 years old in 1800. In the Lo- reto archives, which exist only in fragments, 1 have found no record of her birth; but her brother Mariano, son of Diego and Rosalía-whom she names as her parents-was baptized in 1768 and huried in 1777. The S. Diego mis- sion records show the birth of two daughters and the burial of a sou in 1810- 12. There is some cireumstantial confirmation of my supposition that her age was less than 30 in 1800, and therefore less than 108 at her death, and there

are numerous inconsistencies in the evidence adduced in support of her great age; 104 is a more accurate figure than 140 for her age in '78. Doña Enlalia was well known as a nurse and midwife at S. Gabriel; had a second husband, Juan Marine, for a few years from '32; and in the later years was an object of great interest to visitors on account of her age. Mentioned ii. 13, 336, 543; ii. 143, 209. I met her in '74, and in '77 she dictated a narrative of some 30 pages, Una Vieja y Sus Recuerdos, full of interesting items. Two of the old woman's daughters lived with her at S. Gabriel in '77, one of them Rosario, 1. '14, the wife of Michael White, a pioneer of '29. Her son, Isidoro Guillen, died at Purísima abont '64, and her daughter Petra at Los Ang. about '44.
