Heald, Thomas T. Was born in Belmont county, Ohio, December 10, 1825, and there
received his early education. In the Spring of 1844 he moved with his parents to
Jackson county, Missouri, and there resided until 1849, in which year he started
across the plains for California, arriving via the northern or Lawson route, and
the Lawson ranch in the Sacramento valley. After a short time he went to the
Deer creek mines on the south fork of the Yuba river, and pitched his tent in
the heart of what is now Nevada City, where he remained until the Spring of
1850, at which time he changed his locality to the north fork of the Yuba river,
and still further prosecuted his mining labors, which he continued near
Downieville, Sierra county, until the month of September, 1850. In this year Mr.
Heald came to Sonoma county and worked at the Mill creek mill, near Healdsburg,
then owned by his brother Samuel and William J. March. At this occupation he
continued for one year, at the end of which he purchased the ranch opposite
Wahler's place, settled by William Potter, where he commenced farming (the farm
is now leased to J. R. Simmons) and resided till 1871, when he located
permanently in Guerneville. Mr. Heald is one of the charter members of the
Redwood Lodge of Odd Fellows, and also of the I. O. G. T., and is a member of
the Methodist church. He married in 1860 Julia Guerne, who died in 1870. By this
union there were six children, of whom George H., Henrietta Elizabeth, and
Amelia Josephine are now alive.
