JOHN CAVE, DIED SAN JOSE CALIF. 2-28-51
I am researching 1850s residents of Jamestown, Ca. a gold mining town in the Mother Lode mining district. John Cave was elected to the 1st Legisative Assembly in 1849-50. He returned to Jamestown and Sonora (Tuolumne County) to practice law. He was a prominent firebrand in the movement to expel foreign miners from the mines. I have no other information on him except that he died in San Jose, Ca.on 2-28-1851. Does anyone know more about this fascinating person?
