Biographical notes:
Arnold G. Tripp, of West Falmouth, Massachusetts, sailed to California in 1849 on the ship Florida from New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was a member of the Accushnett Building and Mining Association which went to San Francisco to sell lumber and construction services. He left the company in March 1850 and went to mine on Solomons Creek off the Mercedes River.
