Read More	Willoughby Mickelwait Jr. was born at the Bay Horse Inn, Heck, West Riding, Yorkshire, England, son of Willoughby Sr. and Susannah Wood Mickelwait. He had four brothers, John, Richard, George, and James. In March 1831, Willoughby Sr. sold the Inn which they had operated for nine years. The family left immediately for America via Liverpool, Baltimore, Pittsburg, to Portsmouth, Ohio. Then on to Henry County, Iowa. Willoughby Jr. and brother John went overland to California in the gold rush with the Burlington Company. (1849) After their search for gold, the brothers ran a draying buisness between Sacramento and the goldfields of Placerville for two years. John returned to Iowa by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Willoughby Jr. moved to a town in Siskyou County named Cottonwood, the name later changed to Henley. Which is about ten miles north of Yreka and thirty miles south of Medford, Oregon. He mined for gold and owned a mine call "The Blue Lead". He also had a creek named after him about ten miles west of Henley. The creek is still on maps of the area but as "NICKELWAIT" apparently someone mistook "M" for "N". After he retired from gold mining he bought a Saloon in Henley and ran it until his death on September 9, 1878. His grave and marker can be found in the Henley-Hornbeck Cemetery. Prepared for Keith Lingenfelter by: Cecil E. Lingenfelter and Clare C. Lingenfelter, all great-grandsons of John Mickelwait to complete his history of Willoughby Jr.
