  John T. James, whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Niagara
county, New York, March 14, 1834. Here he received his education. He also lived
there till he started for California, in 1853, stopping a short time at Peoria,
Illinois. He crossed the plains in company with Thomas Carruthers and L. W.
Walker. He stopped about two or three months on the Sacramento river, when he
came to Tomales township and settled on the ranch now owned by A. Woodworth. He
was joined by Thomas Carruthers in 1854, and they were well known by all old
settlers by their firm name "Tom and Jack." Mr. James now lives directly south
of Tomales, on the bluffs overlooking the town. Married Frances Saph, March 29,
1865. She was born in England April 4, 1837. Alice, Jessie, Harriett, Mary,
