  http://birchlane.davis.ca.us/projects/walther/SuttersFort.htm Bonnie Walther’s Class 3,4,5 Montessori Journal Entries from our visit to Sutter’s Fort Maria Isabella Gordon Coombs (3rd grader portrayal of Her) My name is Maria Isabella Gordon Coombs. I was born in New Mexico about 1831 and came west with the Rowland-Workman Party in 1841. My father is a famous fur trapper and we traveled the southern route to California across Arizona. My mother’s name is Mary Jane Lucero Y Tapia Gordon and my aunts’ names are Rufina Lucero Alexander and Carmel Lucero Knight. I am the daughter of William Gordon who owns an important ranch and gathering place along Cache Creek/Yolo County. Before I turned 15, I got married to Nathan Coombs at Sutter’s Fort. Nathan and I became important residents of Napa County where we owned a large ranch. Nathan was a veteran of both the Revolution of 1845 and the Bear Flag Revolt. The story about our wedding says that we were so poor, we had no shoes and had to share the same horse to get to the fort. Priests later discovered that I was married in a non-catholic ceremony and they wanted to charge Nathan $300 to recognize the marriage. Nathan and I refused to pay. We later became well off and had many children. link to Isabella Gordon Coombs cemetery monument: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=74830866
