History of Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming, 1540-1888
By Hubert Howe Bancroft, Frances Fuller Victor
excerpt:
James W. Haines was born in Stanstead, Canada, near the Vermont line, on the 17th of Aug., 1826, his father being a Vermonter of English descent, and his grandfather a revolutionary soldier.
In 1833 they left Canada for Ashtabula county, Ohio, where they lived upon a farm.
When he was 20 years of age he began to follow the lakes, and remained in that service for about three years, when news of the gold found in Cal. brought him to this coast with a company from Ohio. After a brief experience of mining he opened a restaurant in Sac., and made considerable money; went into merchandising with Z. Lake, also from Ohio, and later with A. J. Webster. During the squatter riots he was on the squatter side of the quarrel, and was arrested and sent to the prison brig, but was soon released. Having made about §20,000, he returned home and married, but on revisiting CaU found times somewhat changed. Cholera carried off his wife and numerous friends in 1852. His partner sold out to him and he took another. In 1854, during the excitement caused by the know-nothing party in politics, he was elected marshal of Sac. by that party. In 1857 he purchased an interest in a hay raucho of 8,000 acres, bis partner being Alonzo Cheaney.
