Rancho Suey
Rancho Suey was a 48,834-acre (197.62 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day southern San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County, California given in 1837 by Governor Juan B. Alvarado to María Ramona Carrillo de Pacheco. The grant was east of present-day Santa Maria and extended along the San Luis Obispo-Santa Barbara County line, and between the Santa Maria River and the Cuyama River.
Captain José Antonio Romualdo Pacheco (–1831), came from Mexico to California in 1825, and served as an aide to Governor José María de Echeandía. In 1826, Pacheco married María Ramona Carrillo de Pacheco (1812–1888), a daughter of Maria Ygnacia Lopez de Carrillo, the grantee of Rancho Cabeza de Santa Rosa. María Ramona Carrillo was a sister-in-law of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. Pacheco died defending the widely despised centralist Mexican governor of California, Manuel Victoria, at the Battle of Cahuenga Pass in 1831.
His widow, María Ramona Carrillo de Pacheco was given the five square league Rancho Suey land grant by Governor Alvarado in 1837. In 1837, she married Captain John Wilson (1797–1861), a Scottish-born sea captain and trader, who came to California in 1830. John (Juan) Wilson raised Pacheco's son Jose Antonio Romualdo Jr. Wilson was the grantee of Rancho Los Guilicos in Sonoma County. Wilson and his business partner, James Scott (-1851), also owned Rancho El Chorro and Rancho Cañada de los Osos y Pecho y Islay. In 1845, Wilson built an adobe home on Rancho Cañada de los Osos y Pecho y Islay and lived there with his family until his death in 1860.
