One of James and Hannah sons was Luke who married Maria Linton...one of
their sons was James. He married Rose Newbie...and their son Guy Luke
was my great grandfather. He and his son James Abel ( my grand father)
were instumental in the consruction of early Los Angeles. They were in
the lumber business....at one time located near what is now the
Downtown Post Office. Lumber came to them from the Redwood Trees of
Northern California via ship.
I lived in Northern California (Sonoma Co.) for 54 years. Currently in
Montana...my sister Carol ( Cuzner)is still in Santa Rosa. I have a lot
of info filed away somewhere...and could be pressed to find it if
someone was interested.
