    The subject of this sketch was born July 19, 1851 on his father's ranch north east of the village of Pescadero. His father Alexander Moore was one of California's earliest settlers, coming to California from Jackson County, Missouri, in 1847 and making the trip over the plains with ox teams, arriving at Johnson's ranch on Bear river, October 2, 1847, where he remained until he removed to Santa Cruz, Nov. 15, 1847.
