G. W. MANKINS, who owns 160 acres of tine land located about three miles and a
half from Paicines, San Benito county, is one of the representative farmers of
this vicinity.

  Mr. Mankins was born in Madison county, Arkansas, January 14, 1842, son of J.

Placerville, and subsequently returned to Arkansas and brought his family to
this State, locating at Placerville, where he continued his mining operations.
Later, he lived in Mariposa county and in other parts of central and southern
California. In the meantime he made several visits East. On his fourth return
trip to California he died. This was in 1876. He and his wife, nee Matilda
Gibson, had seven children, three of whom are living, namely: James; Masa J.,
now a widow; and G. W., the subject of our sketch.

  Mr. Mankins was married in 1870 to Miss Arminda C. Watson, daughter of Jacob
Watson, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. She died October 22,
1876, leaving two children, Jacob and Charles. June 16, 1877, Mr. Mankins wedded
