I believe that my husband's ancestor Jonas Everett Wanamaker/Wanemaker settled in the Golden, CO area to farm in 1860.He built Wanamaker Ditch (which probably became Creek) to his home from Clear Creek.This was the first irrigation claim in the area.Hewas the first man to discover gold in Blue River CO.He was originally from Wisconsin and married Elizabeth Hill.Jonas's brother Samuel married Elizabeth's sister Maria J. Hillso the kids (Belle, Beauty, Loren and Blanche) were double cousins with Samuel's kids back in Wisconsin.Jonas was also mayor of Arapahoe CO.
