     James Ballentine was born in September 1817 at New York.1

Tuolumne Co. Marriage Registers show that James Ballentine and Mrs. Margaret O'Neill were married 6 Jan 1874. The Sacramento Daily Bee reported in their Monday Evening edition of 12 Jan 1874 that the marriage of James Ballentine to Margaret O'Neill had occurred at Deer Flat, Tuolumne County. No date was given.2,3 He died on 31 August 1901 at Sonora, Tuolumne co., California, at age 83.4 He was buried on 1 September 1901 at City Cemetery, Sonora, Tuolumne Co., California;
His wife Margaret is buried at OLMC, Big Oak Flat as Margaret O'Neil.4
     James Ballentine was toll keeper on Yosemite Toll Road at Colfax Springs between 1890 and 1895 at Colfax Springs, Tuolumne Co., California.5 By 1893 James Ballentine owned and was working the Never-sweat Mine, about equidistant nor of and between Big Oak Flat and Priest. By 1914 he still owned the mine, but it was described as idle; Note that there is another Never-Sweat mine located 1 mile N of Columbia. It is also a pocket mine, but with different owners and appears to have no connection to the Big Oak Flat mine.6

The Union Democrat reported on 12 May 1900 that James Ballentine was had .recently suffered a stroke at Big Oak Flat, Tuolumne Co., California.7 Lodgers at Priest Station named in the 1900 census incude James Ballentine, age 82 years.8 He appeared on the census of 28 June 1900 boarding in the household of Margaret (Dick) Kirkwood Priest and William C. Priest at 3rd Township, Tuolumne Co., California; Although he had died by the time the census taker got to Priest Station, he was living on census day and is therefore enumerated in the 1900 US Census.9

Yosemite: the Park and its Resources (1987) by Linda W. Greene
Dr. J. L. Cogswell stated in 1910 that he and eight others discovered the grove on 10 May 1858. Their party had left Garrote, near Big Oak Flat, for a sightseeing trip to Yosemite Valley. While encamped at Crane Flat, one of the party shot a deer, but the wounded animal ran away. The next day the party set out on the trail of the deer and came by accident upon a group of magnificent trees. So overawed were they that they forgot the deer and spent the day exploring the area.

They particularly noted a giant tree with its interior hollowed out by fire. They named it King Solomon's Temple, although it later came to be called the Dead Giant. Cogswell immediately reported his discovery to the San Francisco, Daily Evening Bulletin, and the grove quickly became a regular stop for tourists on their way to the valley.

William McCarthy, Dave Lumsden, and James J. Lumsden carved out the Dead Giant Tree in 1878, creating a tunnel through which stages passed for many years. According to Hutchings, this was the first giant sequoia tree cut through. W. G. Marshall, who visited the Big Tree groves and Yosemite Valley in June of that year, related:

We came to the Tuolumne Big Tree Grove, [and came upon] . . . a tunnel through the stump of one of the largest sequoias in the grove, through which the road passes, and the stagecoach is driven. . . . The tunnel measures 12 feet, and it is 10 1/2 feet wide at the top. . . . The tunnel had only been completed a week before our visit to the grove, the first coachful having passed through the stump on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 18.

     Depending on the source, Francis Burns was born between 1790 and 1801 at Ireland.1,2,3 He married Lydia Huntington, daughter of John Huntington and Mary Huthcinson, in 1821 at Irasburg, Vermont. They lived in Adrian, Michigan and later in Tuolumne Co., California.3,4,5 Francis Burns died between 1861 and 1870 at presumably Tuolumne Co., California.

I am writing hoping that I can find more information regarding Lydia Huntington who married Francis Burns in Irasburg Vermont in 1821. (see # 2 below), I found the marriage record at the town clerks office in Iragsburg.

In the 1850 census I found Francis Burns, age 49 and Lydia Burns age 49, and Mary J. Burns age 18 in dwelling #398 Rollin Township, Lenawee County Michigan. Thomas Burns, age 23, Eliza Burns age 22, and Rocena D. Burns age 1 month in dwelling #441, same township.

I have a marriage record of Mary Jane Burns, marrying Matthew Foot in the home of Thomas H. Burns, 13 Sep 1857 in First Garotte, Tuolumne County, California.

In 1860 Thomas H. Burns, 33, Eliza Burns 32 , Delora R. Burns, 10 and Inez I. Burns 1, are living in Amador County, California.

In the 1870 census Thomas Burns, age 44, E. Burns age 43, D.R. Burns age 20 and I. A. Burns age 11 are living in Township #2 Tuolumne County, Chinese Camp, California.

In the 1872 Mariposa County Great Register there is a listing for Thomas Huntington Burns, a miner, born in Vermont.

All of these California Locations are in the Gold Country. I think that I have pretty good evidence that Thomas H. Burns ( my great great grandfather) is the son of Francis Burns and Lydia Huntington, but I am hoping to substantiate it. We were in Irasburg Vt. last week, but found no birth record for Thomas. We’re hoping to find an obit. or something in Ca. for Francis or Lydia. I have some more information on this line that I will be happy to share if it will be of value, but I’m really hoping someone may have something that will link Thomas to them. Thank you.

BURNS.—The Burns mine, on the Nonpareil vein and adjoining the Nonpareil
mine*, has a mass of decomposed talcose slate which is in places 25 feet wide. It all
pa^s to work, and 12 tons are rushed daily through the five-stamp mill.
Five additional stamps are being put in* The pulp, after being amalgamated
in the mortar and on copper plates just below the battery, rims into tanks and
settlers, and from the tanks the sand is put into Varney's pans to be ground, and
it is afterwards amalgamated in settlers. inches are used at a cost of 15 cents per inch, or $9 for 24 hours.
The turbine was bought with the assurance that it would drive 24 stamps, but the opinion among those who have seen it work is that it would not drive more than 10 Farrand's oscillating pan and Hinkle's pan are used in the amalgamation. The Cosmopolite mine, near the head of Garrote creek, is on a vein which runs
northwest and southeast and dips to the northeast, and is ten feet wide. The
lowest workings are 150 feet below the surface, and a 10-stamp mill, formerly
known as the Cross or Anita mill, belongs to the mine.
