346 HISTORY OF PASADENA. 



nue in Pasadena, which was originally " lyake Vineyard Avenue," was 

 named from this ranch. But the original name was too long for this fast 

 age. 



San Marino. — This is Hon. J. De Barth Shorb's home place, next 

 east of the old L,ake Vineyard home of his father-in-law, Wilson. Mr. 

 Shorb's childhood home, his father's old plantation in Maryland, bore the 

 name San Marino, and he filially applied it to his elegant new home here 

 in California. 



Winston Heights. — This is the old Col. W. H. Winston farm of 180 

 acres, bought from B. D. Wilson in 1868, and lying east of San Marino, 

 along the Santa Anita Avenue road to San Gabriel. The Winston place is 

 specially associated with Pasadena because of the long residence of L. C. 

 Winston, one of the sons, in the city — and the fact that his wife, Mrs. Eliza- 

 beth Winston, has been a prominent teacher in the Pasadena public schools 

 from 1880 till the present time — 1895. [See page 156, and foot-note to 

 page 187.] The Winston farm was a portion of the original Orizaba tract; 

 and San Marino was, also. [See third foot-note, page 53.] Mrs. M. E. 

 Winston, the aged widow, still owns the old farm, and her son, P. H. Win- 

 ston, resides on it — 1894 ; but its superintendent is T. S. White, who came 

 to California in 1852 and to Eos Angeles county in 1863. Mrs. Winston 

 herself resides in Los Angeles. 



Fair Oaks Ranch. — ^Judge Eaton writes : "This name was given to 

 it by its first occupant, Mrs. Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, after a place of 

 that name, her childhood home, in Virginia." [See page 120.] 



Verdugo Ranch, same as Rancho Saii Rafael, and joined Rancho 

 La Canyada, both of which belonged to Mariano de la Euz Verdugo, who 

 was in active service as a Spanish soldier and officer from 1766 to 1787, and 

 was with Gov. Portola's expedition to Monterey in 1769-70, therefore 

 crossed this land from west to east in January, 1770 [See page 57J, on their 

 return trip. Verdugo is mentioned in the Spanish records as " the retired 

 corporal of the San Diego company." This land was granted to him by 

 Gov. Fages, October 20, 1784, and the title was reaffirmed to him or to his 

 son Jose Maria Verdugo,* by Gov. Diego de Borcia, January 12, 1798. The 

 San Rafael ranch comprised upwards of 50,000 acres and extended nearly 

 to the Buena Vista-street bridge in Eos Angeles. It was also called by the 

 Spaniards " Ea Zanja, across the river four leagues from Eos Angeles." 

 This great total of 50,000 acres of land was described in the Spanish records 

 as "bounded on the north by a sycamore tree." The hacienda or patri- 

 monial ranch house was located at the mouth of Verdugo canyon, where the 

 village of Gleudale now stands. Verdugo continually borrowed money, 



*Jose Maria Verdugo was corporal of the guard at San Gabriel most of the time from its founding 

 till 1798. His father was sergeant in command at Monterey from 1780 to 17S7, then retired as an invalid. 

 He had served also at San Diego and other points.
