King, James

James King (no local burial found) came to Santa Cruz County in the 1850s, and was listed as owner of a downtown Santa Cruz residence in the 1866 town survey. The clipping at right shows that the King residence was in "Block No. 4" of the town map. The map shows the parcel on the north side of Locust Street, across from the large parcel where F. A. Hihn built his 1872 mansion, and where the Santa Cruz City Hall annex is today.
