Returning to his native land in 1876, he married Miss Annie L. Barclay, daughter of the late Andrew Barclay, Esq., of Shelburne Co., Nova Scotia, October 3, 1876, and after a pleasant visit of three months in his native town, from which he had been absent twenty-four years, and which he found almost entirely changed, he felt that there was no longer any home there for him.
After visiting the Centennial, and many other places of interest, he returned to California, bringing his fair wife to his old home, where he has remained since 1853, with the exception of that short visit. He has seen many changes during that time, and the greater part of his neighbors have either removed or died since he settled here. He has always endeavored to cast his influence on the side of truth and morality. Has two sons and one daughter.
