Notes: James Ella’s brother, Alexander Andrews, decided that he was going to go back
to Kentucky and marry his sweetheart and bring her out to the new prosperous
state of California. Alexander had a ranch there, south of Shasta,
which would be her new home. Henry Clay Stockton went back with him to
be his best man. While in Maysville, Kentucky, Henry Clay Stockton married
Alexander’s sister, James Ella, in 1855. And so the two couples took the
trip from the East Coast down to Panama, crossed Panama by mule train, came up
by ship to San Francisco, took a riverboat up the Sacramento River to Red Bluff,
and finally road a stage coach into their new community of Shasta.
A couple years later, in 1857, James Ella died giving birth to their daughter.
Her brother, Alexander Andrews, adopted the baby, and Henry Clay Stockton never
really recovered from the loss. |
