ALBERT LITCHFIELD
ALBERT LITCHFIELD, a farmer
of Castoria Township, was born in Ohio, in 1825. He went to Illinois in 1837, where he remained until 1875, when he
crossed the plains for California. He came with a train of horse teams; they came by
team as far as they could, then packed their horses and walked the balance of
the way. Arriving at Hangtown, he went to mining for a year. He then went to Shasta County and engaged in teaming. In 1851 he returned to the
States, where he remained twenty-five years. He was there married to Delilah
Doty, and came with his bride to California, where he purchased a ranch of 425
acres, situated twelve miles from Stockton, on the Durham road. Mr. and Mrs.
Litchfield have five children, viz: Chauncey, Emma, Winfield, Nellie, and Eva,
the wife of G. W. Wetherbee, mentioned elsewhere in this volume.
