My 2nd Great-grandparents in 1849

Yesterday I wrote about my great-grandparents in 1864, so today I am going back one generation and 15 years, back to the time of the California Gold Rush. As far as I have been able to determine, none of these 2nd great-grandparents went to California until later.

If I knew about all of my 2nd great-grandparents there would be 16 in this listing. However, I don't, so there are only the 12 who were living in the United States at that time. The other 4 were in Prussia, probably Posen.

You can see that there were 4 different states and 8 different counties where these ancestors lived back in 1849.
