WILLIAM ROBSON, a pioneer of California, is a native of Scotland, having been
born in that country, February 5, 1828.

  Upon arrival in California our subject spent about five years in the mining
regions of Rich Bar, Feather river country and Pine Grove. He then located in
Sonoma county, near Petaluma, and engaged in dairy farming, where he remained
from 1857 to 1865. He then located in Monterey county, at Salinas, and continued
for some time in the dairy business, but now has practically retired from active
business.

  In 1858 Mr. Robson married Miss Jennie Scott of San Francisco, a lady of
Scotch birth, also. Mr. and Mrs. Robson have one daughter, Jennie, now Mrs. B.
A. Erdley, wife of a prominent and well-known citizen of Pacific Grove.

  Mr. Robson and his wife are well known and highly respected in Salinas as
thoroughly reliable people, of whom all speak well.
