| 313 | "BACKFIRE- Old Ranch Out West" Written by Alice Rue Eaton Grigsby The old rustic ranch house, with its pleasant porches, overlooked a winding creek which was fringed with Pussy Willows and overhanging cottonwoods. During the winter months, this stream became a small river. We stood at the windows and watched the wild rush of turbulent waters. Driftwood, washed out fences, and flood gates, rode the crest of the waves. When the storm subsided, our river was again a winding brook, and during the summer months, it was merely a depression in the bottomland. In the occasional ponds of water beneath the cottonwood trees, the cattle stood knee deep, chewed their cuds and with their tails, switched away the flies. This house was situated in the midst of a two thousand acre tract. Pleasant valleys and rolling foothills, which submerged into the rugged Coast Range Mountains, made this area beautiful. My brother, Charles, and I spent a wonderful childhood on this old ranch. It was a playground of abrupt hills and verdant valleys, which in springtime was colorful with wildflowers. Beneath the drooping branches of the massive oaks, the sheep and cattle sought refuge from the summer's hot sun. The pleasant valleys were encircled with rugged foothills which were heavily wooded with scrub oak, manzanita and red holly bushes, Giant digger pines silhouetted against a blue sky, crowned the hilltops, and when the wind blew strong, they sent their music reverberating in valleys below. This land was paradise for a flaxen haired boy and a freckled faced girl, who found unbounded happiness with their good saddle horses as they daily traversed this area. We tramped through the woods, where we often found a spring of crystal water, from which a gurgling stream dashed down the hillside. Growing in profusion were beautiful wildflowers. In the shadows of the rocks grew the lacey Maidenhair ferns. On the hilltops we gathered armfuls of Indian Paint Brush. Often, we caught a glimpse of a bright yellow Gopher Snake making a hasty retreat. A brook is always the home of creeping things. Our Mother constantly warned us to beware of the rattlesnake. He generally sounds his baneful warning with his wriggling tail, raised head, glittering eyes and hissing tongue. He throws himself into an instant coil with the even rapidity of an electric device. All animals know instinctively the danger of combat with him, and the sound of his rattles fills them with fear and terror for many are his victims in the densely wooded areas and around the deep water holes during the warm summer season. This land held many joys and also heart breaking tragedies in our lives. Mount Shasta stands at the north of this valley; magnificent in her grandeur, rising to the height of 14,380 feet. She has been chiseled by wind and storm until she stands clear and white against the blue sky, like a mighty pyramid. The building of the Shasta dam placed her name before the world, as the giver of that elixir of life; water. Looking east from the old ranch, we could plainly see Mount Lassen, which stands like a battle scarred warrior. She became famous on 19 May 1914, when she sent her rocks and lava pouring over the surrounding country; becoming the only active volcano in the United States. She is visited by many tourists during the pleasant summer and fall months. Impressive canyons, primeval forests and alpine lakes, add to the beauty of Lassen Park. It was Indian Summer in the California foothills. Autumn had turned the land into crimson and gold. The hills and valleys were veiled with a blue atmospheric mist, which at times almost obliterated the world around us. The fertile valleys were covered with a heavy growth of sunburned grass, which crackled in the afternoon breeze, as it stood like and abundant harvest awaiting the reaper; for the harvest of the earth was ripe. The dangerous days of autumn had arrived when all western ranchers were keenly alert for any trace of smoke to appear on the horizon. My brother, Charles, dashed through the house (screaming), "Forest Fire", then he was soon galloping off toward the western rim of the ranch on his beautiful saddle horse, Gray Bess. His faithful dog, Cappy, was following in the dust of the horses heels; ready and willing to follow his master to the end of the world. Looking into the distance, we saw angry volumes of black smoke, curling up from behind pine crested hills and rolling off into gray sky. Each moment it was coming closer, slashing its way through the forest with devastating fury, roaring through the crowns of the trees and sending pine cones rolling down the hillsides, leaving ribbons of fire, as it raced on its way; driving all forest animals before it and devouring the unfortunate which failed to escape. The atmosphere was heavy with the odor of the burning woods. All pasture and grazing land, upon which droves of sheep and cattle were dependent for winter food, was being swept away. The bonds of friendship and loyalty were strong between the frontier ranchers. When adversity befell them, they remained staunch and true. They borrowed, loaned and gave without reluctance. It was their code of existence. After the first glimpse of smoke appeared in the skies, men began arriving at the old Eaton ranch from within a twenty five mile radius. They immediately made a back fir line around the old home and buildings. My sister, Leah, taught school far away from home but was spending a few days with us. We supplied the fire fighters with wet sacks to beat out the flames in their effort to save the valleys. We placed two large tubs in the back of my car and filled them with burlap sacks and water. Driving between the house and the backfiring line we passed through the canyon approaching the house. The hills were burning on both sides of us. The roar was so terrific, I could not hear the sound of my engine. I turned to my sister saying, "My engine has stopped!" Still, my car kept going and carried us through the narrow road. The horror of being stalled in the midst of the fire, turned my blood cold. When we emerged from the canyon, I could hear my old Super Six Hudson ticking away. My foot pressed the accelerator to the floor and we traveled safely through the walls of fire, which had left the hills bare and black. The skeletons of the pines were standing like death sentinels, guarding the old mutilated canyon. Our little mother was bravely doing her bit. She baked pans of hot biscuits, kept a huge pot of coffee on the stove, opened jars of pears preserves and pickled peaches. The old dining table became a banquet board where the fire fighters came in relays to refresh and replenish their strength. They were sterling men who gave freely their friendship and loyalty. I shall always appreciate them. There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Prov. 18:24 Several hours had passed. The smoke disappeared from the skies and the fire was brought under control. A beautiful gray saddle horse without a rider galloped into the barnyard. She was seared and burned over her entire body. Her mane, tail and fetlocks were entirely gone. Her hoofs were black. The barn door was opened for her, and she dashed into her stall. The scorched saddle and blanket was removed, and she was attended in every possible way. She was almost unmanageable from the ordeal through which she had passed. Anxiety and fear held everyone speechless. Where was Charles? The tired men broke up into groups and hastily started out in different directions in search of him. They found him wandering aimlessly in the hills, trying to reach home. His face and hands were badly burned and he was as black as a colored man, although in life he was the fair English type; an athlete with a wonderful body. He was rushed to the Sisters Hospital in Red Bluff, where he remained for many weeks. His hands and face were solidly bandaged and all food had to be taken through a glass tube. He carried pitted scars on his face as long as he lived. His dog, Cappy, was lost in the crackling hell, and was never found. His beautiful saddle mare, Gray Bess, never recovered. Each hoof became infected and one by one, dropped off. Her suffering was intense and her life had to be mercifully ended. Charles was never again the superb physique and happy personality he had previously been. There was a break in his life. He soon followed our Father and Mother into the invisible land. Today the United States Aviation Fire Patrol make their daily trips over this area; ever watchful of this frontier area where herds of sheep and bands of cattle graze in peaceful contentment. The isolated ranchers look up into the blue sky and know that Uncle Sam is standing by when the dreaded forest fire goes to work. To all men of the Air Patrol, we are greatly indebted. It is comforting to know that when Charles closed the door upon this world and walked into the invisible, awaiting was his beautiful gray saddle mare, Gray Bess, with flicking ears, arched neck and champing bit. As he swung into the saddle and galloped into the distance, a sleek black mongrel dog was following in the dust of the horses heels. AU Revoir, Charles! | EATON, Alice Rue (I325)

Grigsby was born in Yountville, Napa County, September 27, 1869, and was reared and educated in Napa County. After completing the grammar school course he took up farming and has followed it ever since. He has one thousand acres of good land in Wooden valley, ten miles from Napa, for which he paid $8,000. A tract of two hundred acres is tillable for hay and grain and the remainder of the land is used for pasturage of fifty head of cattle and sixteen head of horses. Mr. Grigsby was married in Napa December 18, 1901, to Miss Helen McCombs, who was born in Napa, the daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth (Finn) McCombs, the former born in Wayne County, Ohio, and the latter in Boston, Mass. Isaac McCombs came to California across the plains in 1848 and was a farmer in Napa until he died. Mrs. McCombs came to California in 1872 and died in 1874 and Mrs. Grigsby is the only child of this union. Mr. and Mrs. Grigsby have two children. Helen M. and Wanda H. Politically Mr. Grigsby is a Democrat, but believes in voting for the best man. He is a man that delights in hunting and this is his chief pleasure. The coming years should greatly improve the value of his land, for he is working with assiduity and has many friends. | GRIGSBY, John B. (I2051)

FRANKLIN TEMPLE GRIGSBY. There are few men alive today who can say that they came to California in 1847, for the list of those who first came to our state is rapidly diminishing. Franklin T. Grigsby came to California when the state was new. and after many experiences he was called to lay aside the activity of life and enter upon a season of rest. Born in Tennessee in 1829, F. T. Grigsby remained there only a few years, for the family moved to Missouri and settled in Pope County for a time. The routine of the home was broken into when Franklin decided to leave the place where he had so long sojourned with his parents and go “out west” to the new country that was then opening up. Accordingly he set out with a company in the year 1845, and with stock and ox teams commenced the long and dangerous trail to California. In the company was his brother, Capt. John Grigsby. The train of ox-teams and men came direct to Napa valley, where Mr. Grigsby settled for a time. In the year 1847 he returned across the plains and later on acted as escort to General Fremont, who was then a prisoner. Franklin T. Grigsby was a Bear Flag veteran of Sonoma County, and had fought for one and one-half years in the Mexican war. At the close of the war he returned to Pope County, Mo., engaging in farming for some time, and in 1851 he again crossed the plains to California. The train with which he traveled was a large one, but not so large that it frightened the Indians, for they attacked it several times. driving the cattle off, although these were retaken. In one of these skirmishes they almost captured Mr. Grigsby’s step-daughter. Mary. the only thing that saved her life being one of her shoes, which came off at a critical moment, allowing her to free herself. At last, after many exciting adventures, Mr. Grigsby arrived with his cattle in Napa County and here he lived for several years, making Napa his home. In 1881 the family moved to Wooden valley, Napa County. Mr. Grigsby married Mrs. Martha (Alexandre) Bray, and to their union twelve children were born, as follows. William, George, Jasper, Frank, John, Martha, Dauthula, Clara, and four deceased. William married Kittie Sandercocks, they have two sons, Walter and Wesly; Martha married James Lyons and from that union there were born the following: Edward, Susie, Nellie, Mollie, Martha and Clara, and one daughter deceased; Dauthula married B. Bailey and seven children were born to them, Frank, Robert, Raymond. Mabel, Eunice, Kittie, Susie; Clara married Will Stice and they moved to Texas ; Frank married Ruth McComb and they make their home in Wooden valley with their daughter, Annette; John married Helen McComb and they have two children, Martha and Wanda. Franklin T. Grigsby died in 1894 and his son. J. B. Grigsby, carries on the farm. Obituary: 7 Jul 1893 Franklin T Grigsby. Known to his old acauaintances as "Uncle Doc." was called hence while sitting in his chair at the family residence, Windy Flat, on the Berryessa road, at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Coroner Kyler went over and held an inquest... Mr Grigsby was a native of Tennessee, aged 64 years; cause of death, heart disease. Mr. Grigsby was a Mexican War veteran, and was a pioneer to the California pioneers, having come to this State in 1845, and participated in the raising of the famous Bear Flag at Sonoma in 1846. He had been proprietor of the Windy Flat House where he died for nearly a quarter of a century, and was widely known throughout the county. He leaves a wife, three sons and three daughters. One daughter is living in Texas, another in Humbolt county; one of the boys, William, lives in San Lues Obispo. 1850 United States Federal Census about Franklin Grigsby Name: Franklin Grigsby Age: 20 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1830 Birth Place: Tennessee Gender: Male Home in 1850 (City,County,State): District 45, Laclede, Missouri Family Number: 292 Household Members: Name Age Franklin Grigsby 20 Martha Grigsby 23 Mary Ann Bray 8 Nancy J Bray 2 1860 United States Federal Census about F F Grigsby Name: F F Grigsby [F T Grigsby] Age in 1860: 30 Birth Year: abt 1830 Birthplace: Tennessee Home in 1860: Yount, Napa, California Gender: Male Post Office: Sebastopol Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age F F Grigsby 30 Martha L Grigsby 34 born Tennessee Wm H Grigsby 8 born California Martha R Grigsby 4 born California Geo F Grigsby 1 born California Samuel H Grigsby 11 born Missouri Elizabeth J Grigsby 10 born Missouri 1870 United States Federal Census about F T Grigsby Name: F T Grigsby Birth Year: abt 1829 Age in 1870: 41 Birthplace: Tennessee Home in 1870: Yount, Napa, California Race: White Gender: Male Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age F T Grigsby 41 Martha Grigsby 44 borm South Carolina William Grigsby 18 born California Martha Grigsby 15 born California California Dauthula Grigsby 9 born California Clarisa Grigsby 6 born California Frank Grigsby 3 born California John Grigsby 9/12 born California 1880 United States Federal Census about Franklin Grigsby Name: Franklin Grigsby Home in 1880: Yount, Napa, California Age: 50 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1830 Birthplace: Tennessee Relation to Head of Household: Self (Head) Father's birthplace: Tennessee Mother's birthplace: Tennessee Neighbors: View others on page Occupation: Farmer Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name Age Franklin Grigsby 50 Martha Grigsby 54 born SC Darthula Grigsby 19 born California Clara Grigsby 16 born California Frank Grigsby 12 born California John Grigsby 10 born California Foy 35 Mun 30 | GRIGSBY, Franklin Temple (I2040)

| 329 | (Notes from Wanda Smith) After researching John Taylor for a period of about ten years, I have collected several interesting facts. One thing that I have also found is family legends on this family. They all tell the same basic tale, yet certain details vary. I am at a loss to explain the difference in dates. Whatever the reason, I will give each version and let the reader draw his own conclusion. Notes taken from Henry Stiles' History of Ancient Windsor [H.S.]; Commemorative Biographical Record (of Fairfield County, CT) [C.B.R.]; Early Immigrants [E.I.] & others. John immigrated from Haverhill, Suffolk, England with Winthrop's fleet in 1630. He settled at Lynn, MA [E.I.[. Very soon settled at Boston [C.B.R. p. 168] Where he married a widow, Rhoda, who had two daughters. He moved to Hartford, CT briefly before settling at nearby Windsor, CT [C.B.R. p. 168]. In 1638, he bought a lot at Windsor from Beggat Eggelston [H.S.] His widow would sell this land, with a house, back to Eggleston in 1651 [H.S.[. It appears that Taylor owned the land for two years before the house was completed and the land made ready for farming. Another account of John states that he was one of two brothers who left England in 1639. One returned to England soon afterward and the vessell was never heard from again after leaving New York. [C.B.R. p 99]. The other brother, John settled at Windsor and married a widow. Once at Windsor, John engaged in the occupation of a pewtersmith {C.B.R. p 168]. From Sheldon's, "The History of Northfield" (MA) pp 553,554; John was at Windsor, 1640, probably went there with Rev. Ephraim Huit (or Hewett), August 17, 1639, directly from England. He served as a juror in 1641 and 1644. On November 24, 1645, being "fully intended and prepared for a voyage for England." he made a will, leaving his "daughters in-law," (Rhoda's daughters) to be equally divided among them, "all my land that lyes on the east of the great river (this is site of the present South Windsor) in lieu of my engagement with them upon my marriage and that my wife shall trayne them up until they come to the age of eighteen years and said wife to have the benefit of ye sd land until yt time." He gives to his wife and two sons, his house and all residue of his lands in the town of Windsor, and all of his personal property; his wife to have the use of it until she marry, or the sons come of age. There is a tradition in the family that, soon after making this will John Taylor sailed for England in the New Haven "Phantom ship" the vessel never heard from again, except for in the manner narrated below; Rev. James Pierpont, a minister at New Haven (CT) in 1684-1714, giving an account of a wonderful vision seen there, some half century before. This letter incorporated in Mather's Magnalia written 1695/6. Pierpont says, the ship sailed in January 1647; a date accepted, so far as we know, by all subsequent historians; but recent investigations show that the date of departure was certainly, January 1645/46. Pierpont writes: "I now give you the relation of that apparition of a ship in the air, which I have received from the most credible, judicious, and curious surviving observers of it. In the year, 1647, besides much other lading, a far more rich treasure of passengers (five or six of which were persons of chief note in New Haven) put themselves aboard a new ship built at Rhode Island, of about 150 tuns; but so walty, that the master (Lamberton) often said she would prove their grave. In the month of January, cutting their way through much ice, on which they were accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Davenport, besides many other friends, with many fears, as well as prayers and tears, they set sail... In June next ensuing a great thunder storm arose out of the north-west; after which (the Hemisphere being serene) about an hour before sun-set, a ship of like eimensions with the aforesaid, with her canvas and colours abroad (though the wind northerly) appeared in the air coming up from our harbour's mouth, which lyes southward from the town, seemingly with her sails filled under a fresh gale holding her course north, and continuing under observation, sailing against the wind, for the space of half an hour. MANY were drawn to behold this great work of God; yea, the very children cryied out, 'Ther's a brave ship' At length, crowding up as far as there is usually water sufficient for such a vessel, and so near some of the spectators, as they imagined a man might hurl a stone on board her, her main top seemed to be blown off, but left hanging in the shrouds; then her misen-top; then all her masting seemed blown away by the board; quickly after the bulk brought into a careen, she overset, and so vanished into a smoaky cloud, which in some time dissapated, leaving, as everywhere else, a clear air. The admiring spectators, could distinguish the several colours of each part, the principal rigging and such proportions, as caused not only the generality of person to say, 'This was the mould of their ship, and thus was her tragick end.' but Mr. Davenport also in public declared tot his effect, 'That God had condescended, for the quieting of their afflicted spirits, this extraordinary account of his sovereign disposal of those for whom so many fervent prayers were made continually.' " Rhoda Taylor moved to Norwalk, CT and married third, Walter Hoyt. | TAYLOR, John (I3898)
