John Hudson Guill, Sr., is descended from Scotch ancestry, his paternal grandfather having migrated from Scotland to Virginia in Colonial days. His father, Elijah N. Guill, was born in Old Virginia, and as a young man was a tobacco-planter in that state. In 1837 Elijah N. Moved with his family to Missouri and located in Livingston County as a farmer and stock-raiser. He married Elizabeth Baldwin, who spent her life in Virginia. Her father, Pleasant Baldwin, a native Virginian, served in the War of 1812. Elijah and Elizabeth (Baldwin) Guill were parents of six children, the only son and eldest child being John Hudson Guill, father of John Hudson, Jr. John Hudson Guill, Sr., was born in Virginia, September 27, 1831. When but six years of age his father removed to Missouri, and there the boy received his first knowledge of books in the district school. A diligent student, with a natural aptitude for learning, he made rapid progress and although he was taken from school when fourteen years of age, he kept and conned his text-books until his marriage. In 1849, in company with eight young men, John Hudson Guill, Sr., came across the plains to California, leaving Missouri with two wagons, and arriving here on September 27, of that year. Cholera was then raging in the new Mecca, and he suffered an attack of the dread disease but, having a splendid physique and the care of a skilled physician, he recovered with no ill effects. With his companions, he engaged in mining, first in Morris Ravine, just above the present site of Oroville, and subsequently through the northern part of the state, drifting from place to place in search of richer fields, and spending all his earnings. At the end of three years Mr. Guill left the mines, having in his possession a horse and saddle and three hundred dollars in gold. Locating on what was the nucleus of and which became known as the old Guill homestead, on October 5, 1852, he purchased a claim of one hundred sixty acres, and at once began improving his holdings, which he subsequently had to buy over again from General Bidwell, before he could secure title. From the time of his first settlement here as a rancher, Dame Fortune, prompted, no doubt, by his earnest efforts to conciliate the lady by habits of thrift and industry, seemed to smile on him. To his original purchase he later added one hundred seventy acres of rich and productive land, devoting his operations to grain-raising, with the exception of his home ranch of two hundred seventy-six acres, where he raised alfalfa principally. In 1860 he introduced into this section of the county the first thoroughbred Durham stock, and subsequently, at the State Fair, received a diploma for sweepstakes on the best Durham cattle. He also raised fine Berkshire hogs and Brown Leghorn poultry, on both of which he took first premiums at county and state fairs. In 1880 he started the Locust Grove dairy, stocking it with sixty cows and running milk-wagons to Chico to deliver milk to his customers, an industry which proved profitable and satisfactory. About 1898 he built the first silo ever constructed in Butte County, and the second one to be built in the Sacramento Valley. On March 18, 1860, John Hudson Guill, Sr., was united in marriage with Mary Jane Bryan, a native of Missouri and a daughter of John Bryan, born in Tennessee. Of their nine children the following reached mature years: Lee Bryan; Elizabeth Leona, Mrs. S.E. Potter; Mrs. Jessie Ames, deceased; Ross E.; Jay Baldwin; Walter B., who died in 1907; and John Hudson, Jr. Mrs. Guill passed away in 1914, aged about sixty-seven years. In the evening of his days John Guill, Sr., can look back upon a useful career, and to the future without fear, for he has done his duty as he saw it and is rounding out a noble and well-spent life at his old home near Chico. - Biography of John Guill Jr., Source: "History of Butte County, Cal.," by George C. Mansfield, Pages 690-692, Historic Record Co, Los Angeles, CA, 1918. ~~~ California Death Index Records, 1905-1939: Name: John H Guill Birth Year: abt 1832 Death Date: 17 Feb 1922 Age at Death: 90 Death Place: Butte, California, USA. ~~~ Chico Daily Record, Tuesday Morning, February 21, 1922, pg 5 col 5: John H.

Guill, Sr., himself an argonaut of Butte’s earliest days and one of the most progressive and best-known residents in the history of the county. Guill was 90 years old at his death Friday night. During his many years of resident on the Guill homeplace, about two miles from Chico on the Humboldt road, he introduced into this territory new breeds of stock and poultry, new types of ranch products and new methods of farming. Yesterday’s service was held at 10 o’clock at the Broadway Methodist church, which edifice he assisted in locating there. Rev. W.J. Lee, the pastor, officiated and interment was in Chico cemetery. The pallbearers were four sons, L.B., Ross L., Jay B., and J.H. Guill, Jr., and two grandsons, Lloyd Guill and Lowell Guill.
