POPSASA WILLIAM FINLEY- Grandson of Capt William Campbell A very highly learned California pioneer, now eighty-one years of age, is Asa William Finley, who is at present making his home at Hotel Stevinson with his daughter, Mrs. G. H. Blount of Stevinson, Cal. He is one of the oldest, if not indeed the oldest living setler in California, in point of time of residence, having been a boy baby of two years of age in his mother's arms when his father, mother and grandfather, Catp. William Campbell, crossed the plains to California in 1846. They landed at Santa Clara ,Cal., in October, 1846, settling there when every able -bodied male person, over fifteen years of age, enlisted and served under John C. Fremont. He was born in Saline County, Mo., July 23, 1844, a son of Asa Wallace and Sarah (Campbell) Finley, both born in Kentucky, where grandfather Campbell was a tanner, though they later moved to Missouri.

POPSASA WILLIAM FINLEY- Grandson of Capt William Campbell The train started from Marshall, Saline County, Mo, in April, 1846. They were all ordered to rendezvous at St. Joseph, Mo. After traveling some days, there being a train of 100 wagons, it was found that the train was too large; so they decided to divide up the train. This was done and WIlliam Campbell was duly elected captain of his division or train. Campbell's company elected Kit Carson as their guide to take them over the Sierras. The other company, which was a part of the original train and known as the Donner party, ill-fated in history, selected Hastings as their guide. Kit Carson hurried his train through, while Hastings' dilatoriness led to being caught in the snows and the sad fate of the Donner party.
