Bale Grist Mill in
Napa County, California.
He arrived from
England in
Monterey, California in

General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, and on

Maria Ignacia Soberanes. After becoming a citizen of

Rutherford and
Calistoga, California.
Construction of the

On
December 26,
1860, his daughter Caroline married winemaker
Charles Krug. The
dowry Bale left for her included 20 acres (81,000 m²) of land north of
