situated on the Rancho Vilijo, and is occupied as a residence and wine cellar by J.J. Sigrist.” We are obliged to take issue with this statement. We do not know the writer’s authority, but are conversant with the history of the movements of the Spaniards in this part of California during that year. It was in 1776 that the first location was made at San Francisco, and the grant to the Mission is dated October 9th of that year. While waiting for the vessel to arrive, which had been dispatched with supplies, etc., excursions were made into the interior, and the circuit of the bay was made by way of San Jose, and far up the Alameda side. Another party crossed the strait at Saucelito, and passed as far northward as the Olompoli Rancheria, south of Petaluma a few miles, where they taught the Indians how to make adobe houses, and one was erected which stood there until a very few years ago, when it was torn down. The writer has seen adobes from the old structure, which was evidently the first one ever built north of San Francisco Bay. But in none of the records of these excursions is any mention made of the erection of a fort at the place mentioned above. We should be glad to establish the fact if it were possible, and to confer, substantiated, upon Napa County, the honor of having such an ancient relic of the Spanish regime within its boundaries, but a due regard for the truth prevents us from giving the statement unqualifiedly.

I haven't the time at the moment to look into this further at the moment... maybe later... 581:
A writer, in a work published by Smith & Elliot, in 1878, says: “In 1776 a fort was erected by the Spanish Governor, Felipe de Neve, a short distance north-west of Napa, on an elevated plateu. Part of the original fort is now standing, the wall being of adobe, and three feet in thickness. It is
