Hood, George. This pioneer settler was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, on February
12,1823. He was educated in his native country, and worked at various pursuits,
and, withal, learned the watch-maker's trade. He emigrated to the United States
in 1853, settling in San Francisco; thence to to Guilicos valley in October of
that year, and followed farming. After twelve months he returned to San
Francisco, working at his trade for three years. After the death of Capt.
Stephen Smith, in the Fall of 1856, Mr. Hood rented the ranch formerly occupied
by that gentleman, remaining there two years. After the expiration of his lease
he moved to the valley near Santa Rosa, and afterwards to that city, and
commenced the jewelry business in 1858, where he has since continuously followed
that occupation. He is also possessed of a rancho in Knight's Valley township.
Mr. Hood was married in Dundee, Scotland, by Professor Tulloch, to Julia
Galloway, on November 28, 1848. She was born in Collinsbiirgh, Fifeshire,
Scotland. Isabella, James, Robert (the latter was born in the British bark
"Clymene," while off Cape Horn), John, William, Margaret, George, Alexander and
Benjamin Henry, are the names of their children.
