  Nathan H. Stinson. Was born in Morris county, New Jersey, in March, 1829, and
there received his education and resided for sixteen years. In 1847 his parents
moved to Michigan and settled in Oakland county, where the subject of this
sketch dwelt until 1853. In September of this year he sailed from New York to
Panama, thence per "J. L. Stephens" to San Francisco, where he was attacked with
fever. On his recovery he proceeded to Redwood City and embarked in farming
which he continued until 1859 when he returned to Michigan. At the end of six
months he came back to California and found the Virginia City excitement at its
height. He at once proceeded thither and engaged in mining with good success for
two years; he next went to Sonora, Mexico, and continued in that country until
the French troubles, and in 1865 returned to San Francisco. In the Fall of 1866
he located at Point Reyes and engaged in the dairying business on a farm of
upwards of a thousand acres. In 1871 he purchased his present farm. Married
August 19, 1874, Rosa A. Cunningham, widow of J. W. Upton. Mrs. Stinson was

is a son, Archie H., born February 23, 1872, and thirdly she espoused Nathan H.
