Burns, John
From Santa Cruz County history wiki
John Burns (1811-1880), born in Scotland, was one of our county’s first commercial vintners. Burns, with a partner named I.C. Willson, found some suitable wine-grape land on the western slopes of the coastal mountain ridge he named Ben Lomond. Son James Burns (1860-1942) assisted in establishing the vineyard. In the 1880s, the land was sold to an investment group led by F. W. Billing.
