Mr. Hartshorne, in his account of Rockingham Castle, says that
the privilege of holding a royal castle as its constable was
considered so honourable that it was only confided to men of
high military renown, or of ascertained courage and attachment
to the crown. The Heralds begin the Markham Pedigree with Sir
Alexander.
William, Lord of East Markham, inherited the estates of his
father, Sir Alexander. He greatly increased his paternal
inheritance by his marriage with Cecilia de Lexington, one of
the six children of Richard de Lexington and his wife, Matilda
de Cauz. By his wife, Cecilia Lexington, William Markham had
four sons:
Richard, who died without issue. He granted the monks of Blithe
20s. per annum for the moiety of the mill at Murihild bridge.
Robert.
William.
John.
In the time of Edward I the Markhams, after the Lexington
marriage, appear to have borne the Lexington cross, charged with
5 escallops. The lion issuant dates from the time of Edward III.
In 1408 Sir John Markham bore, parted per fess or and azure, a
lion issuant gules; soon afterwards the coat was azure, on a
chief or, a lion issuant gules."

Ancestry.com Description: Indian agents were an important part
of the lives of many Native Americans in California after the
Mexican-American War. This database is a report filed by one of
these agents in the southern part of the territory. Written in
1851 by the mayor of Los Angeles, it outlines the major problems
the white settlers were experiencing with the Indians who lived
around the local missions. Researchers will find information
regarding the lifestyles of these men and women, from the
perspective of a politician and rancher. For those wishing to
understand the views of many white settlers toward the natives,
this can be an interesting database.
Extended Description: Benjamin Davis Wilson (1811-1878) of
Tennessee came to California in 1841, married into the prominent
Yorba family, and acquired a vast property, including a ranch
that encompassed the site of modern Riverside. He was elected
mayor of Los Angeles in 1851 and was named sub-agent for Indian
Affairs for Southern California not long after. The Indians of
southern California in 1852 (1952) reprints a report Wilson
prepared in collaboration with Benjamin Hayes after being named
a federal Indian agent. The document identifies two major
problems: the security of ranches and settlements from Indian
raids and the plight of the mission Indians. He recommends a
reservation system as the solution to both. John Walton
Caughey's introduction provides useful background, supplemented
by his appendix of "Contemporary Comment."

Benjamin D. Wilson, Report on California Indians, 1852:
BIOGRAPHICAL DATA on Benjamin Davis Wilson are contained in the
collected correspondence of many of his contemporaries, but
particularly in the Wilson Papers in the Huntington Library. For
his early career the basic document is his "Observations on
Early Days in California and New Mexico," a dictation for Hubert
Howe Bancroft in 1877, MS, Bancroft Library, and available in
Robert G. Cleland, Pathfinders (Los Angeles, 1929), 371-416,
and, with annotations by Arthur Woodward, in Historical Society
of Southern California, Annual Publication for 1934, pp. 74-150.
A review and appraisal of his career may be found in John Walton
Caughey, "Don Benito Wilson, an Average Southern Californian,"
Huntington Library Quarterly, II (1939), 285-300. See also
Melbourne F. Aitken, "Benjamin D. Wilson, Southern California
Pioneer" (M. A. thesis, U.C.L.A., 1948). many other sources

"On January 20 Los Angeles was captured by Castro and Alvarado
after a fight in which several men were actually killed. The
“silvertongued” Don Juan Bautista then spent a week in winning
the people to his side by reminding them of the rascalities
committed upon them by Micheltorena's soldiery, of the
governor's own treachery in employing foreigners and Indians
against the Californians, of the dangerous power that would be
wielded by Sutter in case of success, and other irresistible
arguments. “When it was known that a revolution had broken out
against Micheltorena and his rabble,” writes Benjamin Davis
Wilson, pioneer of 1841, “all classes joined with the greatest
alacrity to get the country rid of the scourge, and to prevent
Micheltorena and his scum from entering Los Angeles.” A band of
about fifty foreigners, headed by Wilson and William Workman,
joined Alvarado, and on February 21 Castro left Los Angeles at
the head of the rebels and marched to meet the enemy."

Benjamin was one of the pioneers who blazed the trail to
California in 1841. A savage Indian fighter, he was said to have
returned from one battle with a basket full of enemy heads.
Later, however, as an Indian agent, he became a strong advocate
for protecting Indian rights. Don Benito, as he was called,
gained great wealth through his marriage to the daughter of a
prominent Mexican. A highly respected man, he established the
orange industry in California. Mt. Wilson is named after him.
