From the public domain book:
History of San Mateo County, California
, published in 1883
Thomas Church
The subject of this sketch was born in Londonderry,
Ireland, September 13, 1836. He accompanied his mother to Canada East in
1847, his father having previously died. He came to the United States in
1851, and settled in Franklin county, New York, where he engaged in the
lumber business. In June, 1861, he removed to Massachusetts, where he
followed the same business, in connection with farming. He came to California
overland in 1875, locating in this county. He was engaged in the
manufacture of lumber with Borden & Hatch, during a period of one year.
He was then employed in the same business for three years with Froment
& Co., when he returned to Borden & Hatch, where he remained seven months.
In the meantime the Bank of San Jose came into possession of the Froment
property, and Mr. Church was engaged in lumbering on that claim until 1880,
when he opened the Summit Spring House, which he has conducted, as its
proprietor, ever since. The Summit Spring House is located on the road
between Redwood City and San Gregorio. Mr. Church married Susan Ledden,
a native of the county Tyrone, Ireland, and their children are Sarah, Wallace,
Andrew and William.
