Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH] Most Wanted: Mary BURKE / Mott RIEHM
Looking for information about Mary BURKE (b. March 21, 1844, Sydney,
Australia) and Mattias "Mott" RIEHM (b. 1836, Chicago,
Illinois), who married in San Francisco about 1868. Mary came to
California in late 1849 or early 1850 with her family from Australia
aboard the ship "Maria." Her mother was Bridget WHELAN; her
stepfather was James SULLIVAN (b. 1814, Ireland); one of her half-sisters
was the actress Maggie MOORE (born Margaret Virginia SULLIVAN, July 10,
1851, in San Francisco). Mott's date of arrival in California is
uncertain. By 1875 they had moved to Virginia City, NV. Mary died in 1884
and Mott in the 1920s.
