Rancho Rincon de Musalacon was a Mexican land grant in present-day Sonoma County, California given in 1846 by Governor Pío Pico to Francisco Berreyesa.〔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 extended along both sides of the Russian River and encompassed present-day Cloverdale and Asti.〔( Diseño del Rancho Rincon de Musalacon )〕 ==History== Francisco Antonio Berreyesa (1824–1856) was the son of José de los Reyes Berreyesa, the grantee of Rancho San Vicente, and who was killed by John C. Frémont's men in 1846.〔(The Berryessa Family )〕 Francisco Berreyesa was a soldier at San Francisco, and was also a grantee of Rancho Cañada de Capay in 1846. Pío Pico granted two square leagues to Francisco Berreyesa in 1846, and Berryessa sold the rancho to Johnson Horrel in 1851. In 1856, Francisco was murdered in his home in Santa Clara.〔FamilyTreeMaker.com. (''Descendants of Luis Cayetano (Berrelleza) Berreyesa'' )〕 Johnson Horrell (1798–1867) born Pennsylvania, was a lawyer came to California in 1849. He constructed a dam across the Yuba River, and afterwards aided in laying off the city of Marysville. He was the owner of the first silver mine opened in Nevada.〔Campbell Augustus Menefee,1873,''Historical and descriptive sketch book of Napa, Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino"〕 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 Rincon de Musalacon was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1853,〔(United States. District Court (California : Northern District) Land Case 222 ND )〕 and the grant was patented to Johnson Horrell, Joseph Green, and Ramón G. de la Riva in 1866.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕 In 1856 R. B. Markle and W. J. Miller bought from Johnson Horrell. In 1859, James Abram Kleiser bought Markle's interest, and the town Cloverdale was laid out. 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 Rincon de Musalacon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
