ii. James Marion BIRCH was born on 29 May 1860 in IL. He died on 12 Aug 1880 in CA.(54) "Marion, the 21-year-old son, borrowed money from L.J.Ingraham, to buy wagon & teams. In August 1880, he was caught between wagon and a tree when his 4-horse team turned too sharply, and was killed. He was hauling wood from near the Sacramento River."
iii. Hattie Eliza BIRCH(55) (13) (photo) was born on 17 Sep 1864 in Flora, Clay Co., IL. She died on 11 Sep 1933 in Chico, Butte Co., CA. "Hattie wanted an education, but the children rode to school in a two wheeled cart. One day the shaft broke, the cart tipped, and Hattie fell, striking her head. This ended her formal education, and she was married at age 16." (Birch)
"Aunt Hattie Birch married an Ingraham and began the 'Birch Ingraham' relationship." (Claire)
Hattie's husband, Leveret J. Ingraham, (b.19 Sep 1850, Butler Co., PA) "came to California in 1872 and took up a homestead near Red Bluff - but worked mostly for ranchers in Tehama and Glenn Counties. He had a reputation for digging wells, and also breaking horses. After his marriage in 1880, he took over his father-in-law's homestead near Germantown and 6 of their 10 children were born during this period. However, in the panic of 1893 he lost the ranch and moved to Orland. Old pictures show him harvesting grain with a 20 horse team. There was a move to manage the Rice ranch in Dixon, where Ernest was born, then back to Orland where he was ranch manager on the Scearch ranch, then later he managed the Mecum orchard. In 1907 purchaced 10 acres from the Bidwell Estate in Chico, where he planted fruit trees, and farmed there until his death (1929)." (Birch).
