JAMES T. SALMON, farmer of
Castoria, was born in Grant County, Wisconsin, in 1833, his parents being
Cutler and Jane (Rundle) Salmon. He was reared and educated in his native
State. At the age of twenty years he came to California, crossing the plains with
horses and ox teams, and landing in Hangtown, where he stayed but a short time.
Coming to San Joaquin County, he bought the ranch upon which he now resides. It
consists of 347 acres, and is situated on the French Camp road, about six miles
from Stockton. He is engaged in stock-raising and farming.
In 1858 he was married to Nancy J. Sperry,

William, Charles, James, Burdette, Ardella and Fred.
