Jackson Reed sailed to California in 1849 on the Hannah Sprague. He shipped some
goods on the Arkansas (which was wrecked on Alcatraz). His home was
Lawrenceville, PA (now part of Pittsburgh). I have letters he wrote in which he
mentions Messrs. Dearing, Wilcox, Dixon, S. Squires, J. Smith, McKee, William
Bishop, D. Estep, S. H. Farber, Stephen Sarber, William Bishop, Mr. Estep, David
Blair & son, John Smith, Joseph Fullerton, Aughenbaugh, Deal - all from
Lawrenceville. Also, John Ellison, Sidney Ligget, Daniel Abers from Ripley.
Also, Levi Ayres from Savannah, Georgia. It is my family's belief that Jackson
died in late 1850 or early 1851 and did not return to PA. His last letters
indicate that he was on the North Yuba, near Downieville.
