THOMAS TRELEAVEN was born in the parish of Luxulyan, Cornwall, England, May 27,
1838. At the age of twenty-six he came to the copper mines of Lake Superior,
where he was engaged in mining until the spring of 1866, when he came to
California, via Panama. He mined eighteen months in Indian valley, and
afterwards followed the same calling in the Cherokee mining district, in the New
York mine and at Soda bar. In the winter of 1868 he went back to England for his
family, and brought them to this county the following year. Since that time he
has been engaged continually at mining. In 1875, with J. H. Whitlock, he
re-located the New York quartz-mine, on which they procured U. S. patents. In
1878 he sold his interest to John May. February 19,1862, Mr. Treleaven was
married to Miss Isabella James, and the children born to them are Annie, born
January 17, 1863; W. T., October 7, 1864; Frederick C., December 15, 1869; Harry
A., January 13, 1871—all of whom are living at home. Mr. Treleaven is a member
of Plumas Lodge No. 132, A. O. U. W.
