  Eugene Morton. The subject of this sketch was born in Ireland in 1830. On the
22d day of May, 1850, he sailed for New York City, landing in that port on the
16th of September following. He first settled in Mamaroneck, Westchester county,
in that State, where he was engaged in gardening. He emigrated to this State via
Panama, arriving in San Francisco on February 1, 1864, and immediately came to
Marin county and settled in Point Reyes township. After one year's residence in
that place he moved to Tomales township, and located on a farm near the present
residence of O. Hubbell. He sold the ranch in 1876, and after living on Mr.
Stumph's farm for two years, bought his present farm of one hundred and sixty
acres, and has since made it a permanent home. In 1863 he married Rose Breen,
who was born in Ireland. They have two children, Mary Ann and Nellie.
