HC Skinner and his brother-in-law, Ransom Moody, came overland from Wisconsin in 1849. They joined the Jefferson Hunt train out of Salt Lake but chose not to take the "shortcut" that led to the unhappy discovery of Death Valley.
Suggested edit: "One of the popular fall eating apples of Central California is the Skinner seedling. It is a San Jose production and originated from seeds brought across the plains by the late Judge. Henry C. Skinner. He was one of the promoters of the Santa Clara County Agricultural Society. He arrived in San Joe in 1850 and purchased the family residence of Harry Bee at the northwest corner of Julian and Nineteenth (then Fifteenth) Streets. The grounds were spacious, extending to Coyote Creek, and were enlarged by the purchase of many acres in what is now East San Jose."
