James Pearson Beardsley was born in 1821 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio.¹ He and Mary Ann ("Nichols") Needles were married on 26 June 1842 in Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio.¹ He died in September 1849, at age ~28, in Weaverville, Trinity, California.¹

There are two notable circumstances so closely interwoven with the history of Findlay's progress as to deserve mention in this chapter—the California movement of 1849, and the peculiar workings of the "Underground Railroad." We are indebted for our information on those subjects to Willis H. Whiteley, Esq., of Findlay, who obtained the facts from active participants therein, which we ourselves have verified through the same sources.

'' The excitement,'' says Mr. Whiteley,'' caused by the closing scenes of the war between the United States and Mexico was renewed early in the spring of 1848 by the report of the discovery of gold, on the American Fork of the Sacramento River, in California. The news of the finding of the piecious metal spread as if borne on the wings of the wind. The intelligence went flying through the States to the Atlantic and then to the ends of the earth. Adventurers flocked from every quarter to the new El Dorado. Thousands of' men were almost crazed with the excitement. Workshops were closed, business abandoned, farms left tenantless, and offices deserted, while moving across the great plains companies of adventurous spirits traveled westward with hungry hearts, like Jason and his Argonauts of old in search of the Golden Fleece. Nor did the excitement and the eager desire to explore the new fields of wealth leave the people of Hancock County unscathed. Early in the year 1849 a company was organized in Findlay for the purpose of crossing the plains and exploring the gold bearing regions of California. The names of the men from Hancock County who were in the company are as follows: Squire Carlin, Dr. W. D. and Elliott Carlin (sons of Squire Carlin), William J. Dunham, George W. Myers, Frederick Duduit, Alonzo D. Wing, Hanks P. Gage, S. B. Harrington, James Predmore, James Porterfield, Samuel Porterfield, James Teatsorth, Garrett Teatsorth, Gid. Nightengale, A. Nightengale, Charles Coffinberry, Shultz, James Smith, Michael Deopler, William Byal,Pearson Beardsley, Aaron Cromley, Isaac Vail, Elijah Ash, D. Austin, Isaac Miller, Isaac Johnson, Krauss, George West, John Riddle, William Smith, Daniel Tremaine, Isaac Sharon, Henry Moffitt, Charles Moffitt. William Moffitt, William Downing, George Downing, John Stagmier, William Worden,Peter Messamore, Jacob Beam, Wagner, Dr. Haggerty (Mt. Blauchard) and Dr. Jesse Beason (Van Buren). There were also in the company Dr. Stanley and C. W. Butterfield (afterward the author of "Crawford's Campaign Against Sandusky''), from Seneca County, Peter Parks and Lathrop, from Sandusky City, and Messrs. Bagley, Blodget and Hubbard, and two brothers named Allen, from Putnam County.

The party left Findlay on the 3d of March, 1841), going by the way of Carey to Cincinnati, and from there by steamboat to St. Joseph, Mo. From there the company went to Independence, Mo., then the great outfitting point for emigrants crossing the plains. Here they remained until May 3, 1844), when they started westward with eight wagons. While en route William Byal died and was buried on Bear River. He was a brother of Hon. A. P. Byal, of Findlay. In September of the same year, six months after leaving Findlay, the Argonauts reached Weaverville, Cal., where the company disbanded. While at this point Pearson Beardsley, a brother of D. B. Beardsley, Esq., also died, being the second after leaving home. The next year D. Austin died with cholera near Sacramento, Cal. After separating at Weaverville, the members of the company scattered in all directions, some to engage in mining, others to work at their trades, and many to pursue such employment as offered itself. Within two Or three years the most of the company had returned, but a few remained on the Pacific slope and made for themselves permanent homes. More than half of the original company that left here for California in March, 1849, with light hearts and bright hopes of wealth, are dead, and of those who are alive a very few are now living in the county. Some are old and fast nearing the '' golden shore," and all are far past middle life. Yet, withal, they speak with pleasure and recall with fervent interest the scenes and incidents and adventures of the long, long journey, when they were a part of the Argonauts of '49."
