Subject: GOLDRUSH MOST WANTED - BELLOW

Seeking any information concerning Joseph or Joseph Michel BELLOW. He arrived in California around 1847 from New Orleans via Mexico and is mentioned in Maryat's "Mountains and Molehills" as owning a mining claim near Tuttletown and an auction house in Sonora. He later moved to San Jose, where he was known as Mitch BALLOO, a notorious lawman. His father, John BELLOW, was in San Francisco very early on, and was accidentally killed by his own pistol on San Francisco Bay in 1850. Any information concerning these family members would be greatly appreciated.
