I am looking for information on my gt gt grandfather whom I found in CA
Nevada County. He left his family in Jefferson County IN ca 1853-55 for
the CA Gold Rush. The family wrote in family records that he was lost in
the CA Gold Rush. I have the following information on him:

In 1873 he had a mining claim tail reworking with Thomas Staples and in
the Great Voters Register of 31 Mar 1873 he registered in Eurkea South
and 10 Sep 1884 he was removed from register and is was not listed as deceased,
so he must have moved. In 1884 he would have been in his 50's.
