John G. Cleal, b. 1796 - d. 1861, Sacramento, CA, USA

Classification: Birth
Surnames: Cleal
John G. Cleal was my g'g'g'grandfather on my mother's side. He married Jane Seagar (Segor?), had my g'g'grandmother also named Jane in 1833. Wife Jane died in 1833, presumably from complications of birth of daughter Jane, and John headed west. Per my mother, he climbed Pikes Peak (the hard way, not by an auto road!). I have a few links on my page on him showing his work as county surveyor and his obituary saying he was a "pioneer and early resident of Sacremento, California". He remarried a woman named Oena Henderson, who outlived him. But - I know nothing of his birth other than the date, where he was born, who his parents were, and who was the first immigrant to the U.S.
Any help with documentation on this man is appreciated.
