The
February 12, 1897 county consent form for road-widening
On February
12, 1897, the County of San Diego asked for Harrison’s consent in
turning the aforementioned road that led up to the mountain and to his
property into a public highway. Although Harrison apparently gave his
consent, his mark does not appear on the form. The signature on the document
is most likely not Harrison’s as the handwriting of the signature
matches the handwriting of the entire document, including witness and
deputy signatures. It is most likely that the entire form has been transcribed
at a later date and that the transcriber simply omitted Harrison’s
mark.
The consent form states as follows, with hand-written entries in quotes:
“Petitioned by W. H. Pearson, et. al. Fifth Road District”
Know all Men by these Presents, that “Nathan Harrison,” the
undersigned, do hereby consent to the laying out and establishing of the
following described public road, to-wit:
“Commencing of Pauma townsite and connecting with County road on
Sec 10. Township 10. South Range 1 East.”
and upon the making of the order of the Board of Supervisors establishing
the said described road as a public highway. I “Nathan Harrison”
hereby grant the easement of right of way to San Diego County for such
public road over the following described land of which “I am”
