Per Kenneth Doolittle (perhaps quoting a book published early 1900s): "They lived in Winchester, New Hampshire, but moved in 1837 to St. Louis, later to Hennepin, Ill., as postmaster and journalist, in which he became very successful. In 1845 they returned to St. Louis; established the St. Louis Union. In 1849 at news of gold in California, they crossed the plains in a covered ox-wagon ( taking 5 months ), arriving in California, Oct. 28, 1849. After a brief residence at several places, settled in San Francisco 1852. There he established the Morning Call and Daily Evening Bulletin, of which a few years ago, ( 1900 ) he was still senior partner. He was very successful and accounted a millionaire."
