Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] Most Wanted: John FOLKS
John FOLKS, known to be in California by 1861. He was born in Ohio in 1835, his
father was born in Georgia. He was married in Sonoma County CA in 1861 and lived
in Bodega Bay CA till about 1890. He was married a second time to Mary TAYLOR
and was buried in Colma CA. His brother Richard arrived in Sonoma Co. by 1880.
My questions are: How did he get the money to buy the hotel in Bodega Bay? Who
were his parents? How did he travel to California, and when? Where was he
between 1850 and 1861? Thanks. Lynne Folks Steinfeld
