Daily Alta California, 1853
. . . Another name appears on the list of passengers (of the SS Golden Gate) that has still stronger claims to passing attention; a name that we have been accustomed to see for the past five or six years associated with every important event in the history of the State; a name numbered among our earliest readers and among this city's most useful friends.
Capt. Francis J. Lippitt, who leaves our shores to-morrow, has been one of the most prominent and useful as he is one of the oldest residents of California.
He came to this country in the fall of 1846, attached as Captain to the 7th Regiment U.S. Volunteers, and since that period he has been identified with every important movement developing the city and State, and his name is to be found associated with every principal act in the organiztion of a State and municipal government.
An honorable and useful career closes, for the State, with his retirement from these shores, and we cannot but think that we only give expression to the feeling which all who read this notice and are acquainted with Capt. Lippitt entertan, when we wish him golden prosperity and happiness in the future.
With his youthful and interesting bride he leaves our shores for "merrie England," where, we understand, it is his intention to remain.

This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project ten years ago. It has taken us around the world in search of family (and to just have fun). Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine (before that Ireland, Wales and Germany). A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected.
