[pct-l] What's a Cleghorn Anyhow?

[scourtway at bpa-arch.com (Steve Courtway)]

MATTHEW CLEGHORN,



a farmer of San Bernardino County, was born in Knox County, Kentucky, in 
1829, a son of Rev. Lorenzo D. Cleghorn, who was a native of Virginia and a 
minister of the Christian Church. His mother, Mary (McLain) Cleghorn, was of 
Scotch parentage. They had five children, of whom our subject was the 
second. He left home at the age of twelve years and subsequently entered the 
Mexican war. He enlisted in the Sixteenth Kentucky Volunteers, but was 
afterward attached to the Eleventh. He carried the express for eight months 
from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico and thence to Lulusa. On account of 
sickness he was sent to the Marine Hospital in New York in 1848. After the 
close of the war he traveled over parts of Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, Iowa 
and Oregon, and while in the "Hoosier" State he met and married a lady who 
has since been the companion of his life, Miss Serena Hendry, a native of 
that State and a daughter of Isaac Hendry. After his marriage he moved to 
Iowa and thence to Oregon, where he remained until 1860. He came then to 
California, first settling at Watsonville in Monterey County, where he 
remained three years. In 1863 he came to San Bernardino County and located 
on the farm where he now resides. He arrived here December 25, 1864, and 
homesteaded 160 acres of land, which cost $16. For several years he was 
engaged successfully in the livery business. He is now one of the leading 
stock-raisers in the valley, owning some thoroughbred stock, the Glencoe, of 
Kentucky, being the principal. He has a magnificent residence four miles 
east of San Bernardino on Base Line, which commands an imposing view of the 
fertile valley and the surrounding mountains. He owns valuable property in 
various parts of the county and is a man of considerable wealth and 
influence.
