" Robert, who, when he was 12 or 13 years old went to California to stay with a sister, who lived in San Francisco. She came home for a visit in 1855, when trips by water had to be made via Cape Horn S.A. On her return voyage she fell sick of Cholera,died, amd was buried at sea.This boy continued his trip to San Francisco, went to the home of his brother-in-law and delivered the
message to him. The old man was so dazed over the loss of his wife ( whose maiden name was Louisa Davis) that he paid very little
attention to the boy, who disappeared and was not heard from for about 8 or 10 years, by his family. This young man never married.
He amassed wealth, lived in the states of Oregon and Idaho, where he died. He owned interests in gold mines."
