Rancho San Lorenzo (Randall)
Rancho San Lorenzo was a Mexican land grant in present day Monterey County, California given in 1842 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Francisco Rico.〔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 San Lorenzo Creek in Peach Tree Valley.〔(Diseño del Rancho San Lorenzo )〕
==History==
Andrew Randall (1819–1856), a native of Rhode Island, came to California in 1849 as the newly appointed customs inspector for Monterey. Randall was an entrepreneur with training as a geologist. He founded, and was elected chairman of the California Academy of Sciences.〔(Science Amid the Saloons: The Academy Begins )〕 In addition to Rancho San Lorenzo he was the claimant for Rancho Cañada de la Segunda in Monterey County; and Rancho Punta de los Reyes and Rancho Punta de los Reyes Sobrante in Marin County; and Rancho Aguas Frias in Butte County - a little over . However he had stretched his credit to the limit, and Randall could not or would not pay immediately. Joseph Hetherington a creditor undertook to force payment by hounding him on every occasion with insults and threats. Hetherington fatally shot Randall in a San Francisco hotel on July 24, 1856, and the Committee of Vigilance hanged Hetherington July 29, 1856.
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 was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1853,〔(United States. District Court (California : Southern District) Land Case 253 SD )〕 and the grant was patented to Andrew Randall in 1870.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕
