GREENWOOD & RANEY
5 Mar 2006
GREENWOOD & RANEY of Napa County. F. D. Greenwood (my 2X great grandfather) and his son, Calvert, and daughter, Mary(my great grandmother's sister) along with her husband, Cornelius Raney, left MO and came to Napa, Yount, CA sometime between 1851 and 1860. (F.D. had previously been to California during the war with Mexico in 1846 as a member of the Missouri volunteers with Alexander Doniphan.) Land records show Cornelius getting the following patent: Accession/Serial #: CACAAA 004450 BLM Serial #: CACAAA 004450 of 160 acres 5/15/1862. The household appears in the 1870 Census without Cornelius so he was gone before then. By the1880 Census F. D. is gone and so is Calvert and the family is in Monticello, Napa. CA. I would love to find any records...cemetery, wills, of this family. I believe that Cornelius had other Raney relatives in the area. Fauntleroy's name is misspelled many ways, Fontleroy, Pontheroy, etc. by transcribers.

BUHMAN
5 March 2006
JOHN JACOB BUHMAN and his family came to the Napa Valley in 1873 from San Francisco. They purchased 100 acres on what is today Redwood Road (3104 Redwood Road). Sometime between 1873 and 1884, the Buhmans built a large, two story home on the Redwood Road property. Today, that property is owned by George Hendry.

Can any one suggest how I could find out when that house was built? The "Assessors Estimate" is 1881 but I have not been able to find any actual evidence of the construction date.

Stubblefield-Kincaid
12 January 2006
I am searching for the Kincaid/Kingcade/Kinkaid/Kinkade family that migrated from Napoleon, TN to Napa Valley CA in about 1856-7-8,

William J. Kincaid & Mary/Polly Stubblefield-Kincaid
(1)
TN MARRIAGES, WILSON, TN MARRIAGES From 1802 to 1850
Screen 68 of 132
========================================
K523 KINCAID, William J. S314 STUBBLEFIELD, Mary 05 Dec 1847

(2)
In 1850 TN Census
Gibson Co Tn

William J KINKAID 21 TN
Polly 25 Ala
Martha 2 TN
James 2/12 TN

Also there was a third child Martina Kingcade born in CA about 1856.
But that is the last indication of this family being in CA.
William J. Kincaid remarried sometime about 1860 & relocated to IL.

My primary search is for what happened to Mary/Polly Stubblefield-Kincaid/Kingcade/Kinkaid/Kinkead after 1856.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Brickler
5 January 2006
You have recently helped us to research our Scott family with great results, and we are hoping that you will be able to help again. This time we are looking for information on the Brickler family. The Brickler family lived in St. Helena in the mid 1800s. The only name we have is that of Mary A. Brickler who came to California from Ohio at age 16 around 1868. She married Henry William Helms, and they lived in San Francisco. We don't know her parents' names but we do know that they came from Alsace Lorraine where they owned vinyards. Other surnames in that family according to a family burial plot in S.F. are Wiese and Bauer.Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
