Aquilla and family went to CA in the Dunleavy Wagon Train which left for the west from MO in 1846. Donner Party split off from this wagon train. Remaining Dunleavy party made it to Sutter's fort on 21 OCT 1846, were still there when seven of the trapped party straggled in on foot looking for aid. Aquilla was one of the leaders of the first rescue party from 'Johnson's Ranch' in CA to reach the remaining members at Donner Pass, helped to carry out the children, and nearly perished in the effort. Mary Jane and Aquilla had three boys: John, born between 1844-1846 (was with them when they reached Sutter's Fort; Richard (the first white child born of American parents in San Francisco), born between 1846-1848, died between 1852-1856; and James, born six weeks after Aquilla died in El Dorado Co. while looking for gold in 1849. Mary Jane later married David E. Gish of IN, settling in San Jose. David and Mary Jane had nine children. (Source: Cindi Allen Schmerber-Genealogy.com) In the 1900 Bishop, Inyo, CA census, she is listed as widowed, mother of 13 children, 9 living, parents from Kentucky. She is living with her son, Joseph's family. She had been having poor health for some time and on July 8, 1902, was completely prostrated, since which time she has been bedfast and a continual sufferer. She looked forward longingly to the time when she might "go home" and be at rest. Death to her was sweet release; it meant only "crossing with white set face and bated breath" from this world of sorrow to that other one where there is no more sorrow, parting, pain or night. "God shall wipe all tears from their eyes" and "they need no sun, for the Lamb is the light thereof." There remain to mourn the loss of the loved one three daughters and six sons: James F. Glover, Mrs. M.J. Hughs, D.W. Gish and T.J. Gish of San Jose, Mrs. Frank E. Herrick and Ellison F. Gish of Eureka, A. E. Gish and J.L. Gish of Bishop, and Ida M. Gish of Santa Ana. Mis Gish, leaving today, accompanies the remains to San Jose where internment will be made in the family lot in Oak Hill Cemetery.
