Rancho El Chorro (also called Rancho Cañada del Chorro) was a Mexican land grant in present day San Luis Obispo County, California given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to business partners James (Diego) Scott and John (Juan) Wilson. 〔Ogden Hoffman, 1862, ''Reports of Land Cases Determined in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California'', Numa Hubert, San Francisco〕 The grant between Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo extended along the north bank of Chorro Creek.〔(Diseño del Rancho El Chorro ) surveyed by William Rich Hutton〕 ==History== Captain John D. Wilson (-1860), a Scottish-born sea captain and trader,came to California in 1837.〔Martha Voght ,''Scots in Hispanic California'', The Scottish Historical Review, Vol. 52, No. 154, Part 2 (Oct., 1973), pp. 137-148, Edinburgh University Press 〕 In 1837 Wilson married María Ramona Carrillo de Pacheco (1812 –1888), widow of José Antonio Romualdo Pacheco, who was killed at the Battle of Cahuenga Pass in 1831. Carrillo, was a daughter of Maria Ygnacia Lopez de Carrillo, the grantee of Rancho Cabeza de Santa Rosa, and María's sister married General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo.〔(Maria Ygnacia Lopez de Carrillo )〕 María Ramona Carrillo de Pacheco was the grantee of Rancho Suey. James G. Scott (-1851), also a native of Scotland, came to California with his business partner Captain Wilson. Wilson and Scott also owned Rancho Los Guilicos in Sonoma County, and Rancho Cañada de los Osos y Pecho y Islay. They were granted the one square league Rancho El Chorro in 1845. Wilson also bought Rancho San Luisito and Rancho Huerta de Romualdo. In 1845, Wilson moved his family from San Luis Obispo to Rancho Cañada de los Osos & Pacheco y Islay, built an adobe home and lived there until his death in 1860. With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho El Chorro was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,〔(United States. District Court (California : Southern District) Land Case 25 SD )〕 and the grant was patented to John Wilson in 1871.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕 After the 1862-4 drought, Rancho El Chorro was sold to William Welles Hollister in 1865. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rancho El Chorro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
