Several members of the Grover family came to Santa Cruz County in the 1850s, establishing a sawmill in the mountains above Soquel. James Lyman (1820-1888) and his wife Hannah, along with brother Stephen Frealon (1830-1907) arrived in California in 1851. James' son Dwight William (1853-1924) was born in Stockton, so the brothers may have tried their luck at gold mining before turning to lumbering. James, Stephen and Dwight built three houses in a row on Walnut Avenue, across from today's Santa Cruz HS (Sidewalk Companion ch.9, item 7).
