Notes:
From FindaGrave:
From the San Francisco Call, April 21, 1905, page 14:
"Reed -- In this city [sic], April 20 1905, William, beloved husband of Hannah C. Reed, and father of Mrs. Lizzie R. Barstow, Charles G. and George W. Reed and Mrs. Nellie R Mayon, a native of Maine, aged 93 years 6 months and 9 days."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
William Reed, Jr. was born October 11, 1811, on Cape Newagen Island, now known as Westport, Lincoln county, Me.
Captain Reed's identification with California dates back to the days of the early mining boom. On the ship Rob Roy, he made the trip around Cape Horn, arriving at San Francisco August 9, 1850, bringing with him as part of the cargo the stern-wheel steamer Kennebec, which was put together at North Beach and plied between Sacramento and Marysville for a time, and of which he was captain. In 1851 he returned to Maine and engaged in farming until 1854, when he again came to this state for two years engaged in mining at Angels Camp. His family arrived in California November 14, 1856, and settling in Oakland, he purchased a tract of thirteen acres on Market street and engaged in the business of raising fruit. From the sale of this property, all of which is now a part of the city, he realized a snug income. At the time of his death he was the owner of considerable valuable property.
