Barnes, Jehu. Whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Warren county,
Tennessee, January 29, 1829. When but a mere child his parents moved to
Missouri, where they resided one year, and thence to Pike county, Illinois,

In 1856 he left his parents and emigrated to California by the Panama route,
landing in San Francisco December 16, 1856. He came direct to this county and

remained, except one season, 1859, which he spent in Mendocino county. Mr.
Barnes has held the office of Road-master for the last eight years. He married
