There are a number of discrepencies from what I have read elsewhere about T. O. Larkin. For example, there is no mention of his having been a judge in North Carolina, the half brother he followed to California was Benjamin Richardson, no mention of a daughter named Anne (I had read he had five daughters and two sons), and I understood his death to be in 1859. This all from the history PhD thesis published in hardcover under the title "The First and Last Consul", which is not even mentioned in the bibliography.
