James Sydney Whitehead

Obituary

From the book "History of San Mateo County", 1883:
James Whitehead . Was born in Prince Edward's Isle, June 4 , 1841 , and
comes of that sturdy race of civilizers who left the healthy moor and romantic glens of Scotland to populate other lands with a people whose energy, genius and patriotism have ever been a bulwark for the countries where they may settle . Mr. Whitehead went to Texas in 1859 and remained there about three years, returning at the end of that time to his native land . A year later he came to California, and after sojourning in Solano and other interior counties finally came to San Mateo and settled at Half Moon Bay, where he lived until he came to the town of San Mateo, in 1874. This has been his home since that time. He married Margaret L. Nash in 1875 .
