Philip Crosthwaite (December 27, 1825 – February 19, 1903) was an early settler of San Diego, California and Rosarito, Baja California. ==Early life== Philip Crosthwaite was born 1825, in Athy, County Kildare, Ireland to Edward and Rachel Crosthwaite. His parents were visiting their old home, having emigrated to the United States some years before. On returning to America, Philip was left in the care of his grandparents in Ireland and lived with them until 16, when he visited his mother. In 1843 he returned to Ireland to complete his education, and entered Trinity College, Dublin. When his grandmother died in 1845 and he came to America for a second visit, intending to return and complete his education. But while in Philadelphia, he met a young man from Boston with whom he struck up an acquaintance, and for a "lark" these two determined to take a short sea voyage. Going to Newport, Rhode Island, they shipped on board the schooner ''Hopewell'', thinking they were on a fishing trip to the Newfoundland banks. They discovered the ship was bound for San Francisco, Alta California (then a Mexican territory) after it was too late. They begged so hard to be put ashore that the captain finally promised to allow them to return by the first ship they met; but they never met a ship until they reached San Diego Bay. Crosthwaite and his friend, Rhead, jumped ship in San Diego. An east-bound ship came, but there was room for only one. They tossed for the berth and Crosthwaite lost, so he remained in San Diego.
