Later he went to California and in 1879 came to Belfast, where he remained until his death in 1890. He married (1) in Sunderland, Mass., 15 August, 1839, Sarah Annis Peck, who was born at Milford, Mass., 29 August, 1819, and died in San Francisco, Cal., 23 November, 1864. She was the daughter of Dr. Gustavus D. Peck and his wife, Sally P. Peck, of Mil- ford, Mass. He was among the earliest to go to California, reaching there in August, 1849, and remained a citizen of that State for more than thirty years, during which time he was prominent in many ways. He was one of the originators and first president of the California Steam Navigation Company, and was interested in incorporating and building some of the earliest railroads. In 1856, during the transition stage of San Francisco and the State of California, he was much interested in the formation and handling of the Vigilance Committee. It was his work there, which did so much towards purifying the condition of the State in taking its government from the hands of the rougher element and placing it in those of the better class, that earned for him the title of Colonel. He was later elected to the State Legislature at a time when it was important that good men should frame the laws of the new and rapidly growing State. He was one of the mounted guard of personal friends that escorted President Lincoln to the Capitol for his first inaugural oath, and later, under President Lincoln's administration, he was appointed to the position of Navy Agent at San Francisco, disbursing millions of dollars for the Government. His later years were spent in Belfast, of which place he became a resident about 1879. He evinced there the same generous public spirit which had distinguished his career in San Francisco, and it was largely through his efforts that the city of Belfast first established its waterworks
