William Known as "Major"

His family spent time in northwestern Merced county and in Oregon township of Butte county before settling near Brentwood in Contra Costa county.
'Major' returned to the area just north of Merced county where he had spent as a young man and became a large grain farmer on the west side of Stanislaus county near Newman. He became the widely-respected elder in Stanislaus county farm circles, and died on his farm.
