Carpenter, T. L. Was born in Buffalo, New York, on October 30, 1828. He sailed
in December, 1848, on the old steamer "Isthmus" to Panama, where he took passage
on the steamer "California" for San Francisco, the latter being the pioneer
steamer running on the Pacific coast, and the first to go through the Golden
Gate. He arrived in San Francisco February 28, 1849. He at once went with a
party, who were the first to discover gold at Jamestown, Tuolumne county, where
he was engaged in mining for one year. In the Spring of 1850, he returned to
Buffalo, New York, but after five months returned to this State. In the Fall of
1852 he settled in Petaluma township on a place now known as Lovegee ranch,
where he remained one year; thence to the mines at Yreka, on Klamath river. Mr.
Carpenter again returned to the city of Petaluma in 1858, where he has since
been engaged in the butchering business.
