William Jr. came from Missouri to Santa Clara in 1846. His father, William, left his wife and children at the mission under the charge of Mrs. John W. Whisman (William Sr.â„¢s mother-in-law). William Sr. and his father-in-law, John W. Whisman, went to Los Angeles to fight for Fremont, under Captain Burress, who was killed in the war. Mr. Whisman later established the first stage lines in California and was the first American to settle in Fremont township.
William Jr. was present at the battle of Santa Clara. He had a vivid memory of trying with some grown people to climb into the belfry of the mission to see what was happening in the field where the Americans and the Spanish-Californians met. In their eagernesss to reach the belfry the daughters of the Widow Bennett brushed him off the ladder, and so he never saw the battle.
After peace was declared, William Sr. came back to Santa Clara and remained several months. William Sr. was a carpenter, farmer and at one time deputy sheriff.
In 1860, William Jr. (17) and his siblings are enumerated with their parents in Redwood, Santa Clara, California.
William Jr. recalled that when as a boy he journeyed out from Santa Clara to Saratoga the Mission Indians lived about a mile and a half west of Santa Clara. They seldom went into Saratoga country except to hunt. They were cared for largely by the mission, but when the supply of meat gave out they put on their rawhide sandals, took their bows and arrows and went hunting rabbits, quail and deer near what is now Saratoga, but which at that time was spoken of as Campbellâ„¢s Redwoods.
