Biographical / Historical Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, the eighth of thirteen children, was born in 1808 in the then capital of Alta California, Monterey. At the age of fifteen, Vallejo became a cadet in the Mexican Army and would later serve as head of the San Francisco garrison and military commander of the northern part of Alta California. As a reward for his service and to encourage his leadership, Vallejo was granted 66,000 acres near Petaluma, on which he operated a large cattle ranch from 1836 to 1846. In 1835, Vallejo founded the pueblo of Sonoma. After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo, Vallejo was forced into lengthy battles to claim his lands. When he died in 1890, Vallejo was leading a fairly modest life on his remaining 200-acre piece of land in Sonoma he called Lachryma Montis. Among Vallejo's siblings were: Jose Manuel Salvador Vallejo (1813-1876), Captain of the Militia in Sonoma and grantee of Rancho Napa, Salvador's Ranch, and (with another brother) Rancho Lupyomi; Encarnacion Vallejo (1809-1902), wife of John Bautista Rogers Cooper, grantee of Rancho Nicasio and other properties; Maria Paula Rosalia Vallejo (1811-1889), wife of BANC MSS76/79 c 2
