William Patton was a successful Doctor and had amassed a small fortune. When news of the California gold reached Missouri, William very much wanted to try his luck, but his responsibilities at home prevented him. Instead, he 'grubstaked' three of his neighbors, one of which was George Hearst. In return the prospective miners agreed to give William a percentage of their earnings during the first three years. William never heard from any of his nominees. George Hearst made his fortune from the Comstock silver mine and not his mining efforts in California.

There is also a Civil War record for a Private Ferdinand T. Bray from Missouri serving in the union army in 1864. In the 1870 census Ferdinand and Annie E., Annie's son George, and E. D. and Medina Bray are living in Crawford County, Missouri. An older (66) E. D. Bray and his wife Franis M. are the next entries in the census, presumbably Ferdinand's parents. On 15 Oct 1873 Ferdinand was granted 40.67 acres in Crawford County, Missouri. The 1880 census has Ferdinand, his wife Annie E., their four children, and Annie's son living in San Simeon, California. Ferdinand was a Blacksmith. The 1920 census has Ferdinand and Annie E. living alone in Redwood township, Santa Clara County, California.
m Captain James Lafayette Jennett b 1838 d 1933
There was a 16 year old Harriet Patton living with the Beasley's in Franklin County, Missouri in the 1860 census. James was living in Boles Township, Franklin County, Missouri according to the 1860 census. The 1900 census has James, his wife Harriett, and their daughter Lulu in Kearney, Clay County, Missouri. The 1910 census has James L. and Harriet living alone in Gallain, Clay County, Missouri. The 1930 census has Lulu Henderson back with them still in Clay County. In June 1949 Phoebe wrote in her diary that she was going to Kansas City, Missouri to visit Harry Jennett. While there she also went to Edna and Ed's home. She also mentioned visiting with Harvey and family. Finally, Joe is mentioned. Edna is probably Harry's sister. It's possible that one of the two Harrys was a Harvy. Another possibility is the Joe and Harvy are Harry's sons.

m Lloyd N. Wood b ca. 1891
According to the Franklin County Tribune obituary for her father from Jan 1919, Lucy lived in Ballwin, Missouri. She may have later moved to the vicinity of Kansas City, Missouri as she is mentioned in Phoebe Coats' diary as dropping in to visit a cousin who lived in Kansas City. The 1930 census has Floyd and Lucy living in In the 1930 census the couple have acquired two children, Loyd and Mary, and Loyd's father Frederick. They live in Boles Township, Franklin County, Missouri. In the 1910 census, Frederick was listed as living there. It's also the same township as Lucy's parents when they were alive. Lloyd was a farmer. The 1920 census lists Lloyd as Floyd while the 1910 census has him as Lloyd. I'm assuming Lloyd as it's most commonly spelled. The N is from the 1930 census.
