WILLIAM BUDWORTH, a prominent citizen of Livermore, was born at Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, August 17, 1837; moved with his parents to Wisconsin, and then to
St. Louis, Missouri, remaining there some two years; then to Wisconsin again,
where he was in business until 1850; next to St. Louis again, where he was
connected with the transfer business, until some time in 1852, when he started
by ox teams for California. Arriving August 17, he located first in Amador
County and followed mining there until 1859, when he moved to Centerville, where
he remained about nine years, and then he came to Livermore, where he has since
remained. In 1869 his son, George T., was born, the first white boy born in
Livermore. Since his location at his present place he has been connected with
hay-pressing and steam threshing throughout this and adjacent counties. Each of
