Looking for any and all information I can find about the CRUIKSHANK brothers - William T., James T., and John K., SPECIFICALLY during the time that they lived in and around what is now Madera County, from about 1850 to about 1865. Don't know how/where records in the geographic area are kept and organized from before the county was established. I do have the info on James T., attorney, found in Fresno County histories; and I do know that Wm. T. was a member of the Mariposa Battalion. There is a reference to a CRUIKSHANK in the Madera County Gen. Society Journal III/4:3 but no way of telling if it's one of my guys.

Also seeking any and all info for a Dr. DUGAY (physician) who lived in the general geographic area in 1853. He's also mentioned briefly in Fresno County histories but not anywhere else I can find.
