Rancho Sespe
Among the earliest settlers here were living, in 1861, the More brothers, W. H. Norway and Captain William Morris. Their nearest American neighbors, for at least a part of the year, were at San Buenaventura. The first crop of grain was sowed in the winter of 1860-61, the More brothers putting in about 200 acres of wheat. It was harvested by W. S. Chaffee and W. Norway, Alexander Cameron being the contractor. The grain was cut with a reaper and threshed out by horses.
