JOSEPH C. HULSE, Justice of the Peace at Winters, was born in Clark County,
Kentucky, March 12, 1816, a son of John and Mary S. (Davenport) Hulse, the
former a native of Kentucky; his grandparents were from Maryland. He was brought
up as a farmer's son, and continued on the farm until 1849, when he came
overland to California. At Humboldt the company dissolved and came by
packed-animals to Sacramento. Mr. Hulse became one of the early gold hunters. He
located in Colusa County, was the first Sheriff of that county, and later was
elected County Judge. During the administration of James Buchanan he was
appointed to a position in the custom-house at San Francisco, by Colonel B. F.
Washington. In 1861 he settled in Pleasant Valley, Nevada, and built the mill
called the Camlack mills, and lost heavily. Returning to California, he worked
for G. P. Swift, and afterward was engaged as a butcher and meat-cutter for F.
Roop one year at Sonoma; then he was employed as a guard at the State Prison at
San Quentin a year, under Governor Haight, and he then located at Buckeye, Yolo
County, where he was elected Justice of the Peace in 1863. In 1864 he resigned,
and when in 1875 Buckeye was moved to Winters he went there also, and was
elected to the office of Justice of the Peace, which position he still holds,
and he is also a Notary Public.

  He was married in 1839, in Madison County, Kentucky, to Anna Collins, and they
had two children: Richard, who died in Kentucky when one year old, and America
K., who is now the wife of Thomas G. Hulse.
