Stockton,CA - 1850 - Pilgrim Mining Company 49'ers Document :
Handwritten sworn statement dated Stockton Feb 22, 1850 certifying that James Clark, Master and Representative of the owners of the Bark Yeoman of Plymouth, released all claims of said owner on Elisha Kingman. Elisha Kingman was a member of the Pilgrim Mining Co., whose members were aboard this ship bound for California March 18, 1849, arriving in San Francisco on October 2, 1849, a trip of 198 days. The Bark Yeoman was built in 1833 in Plymouth as a "brig" and afterward was upgraded to a "Bark". This note is clearly in reference to a claim Kingman or the owners of the Yeoman had against one or the other. It is signed by Clark and witnessed by Thomas Segivich. [Ref: W. T.
