Of the Pedlars in the area of Woodland and Yolo, one was an ancestor who arrived in Placerville with her family in about 1852 from Wisconsin and settled in Woodland, Mary Jane Pedlar(d.1913). She married Jeremiah Garoutte,who arrived in CA about 1849 -- both came overland. My grandmother (great-granddaughter
of Jeremiah and Mary Jane) recalls childhood visits with her many Pedlar cousins. Mary Jane Pedlar was a founding member of Yolo's Methodist church and a figure in the local WCTU.
