541 I well remember the occasion of the visit of Dona Martina, the mother of Mrs. Estudillo to San Leandro in 1850. Mrs. Martinez viewed the rancho of San Leandro from the cupola of her daughter's residence. She admired Don Joaquin's idea of breeding white cattle, because she saw they could be distinguished when far away. This lady was the owner of the Pinole rancho with thousands of animals. In 1851 men commenced settling on the San Leandro rancho, against the wishes of its legal owner. The sq...uatters had started a story that Estudillo had changed his title papers from one league to two leagues of land. Estudillo's grant called for one league, more or less, in accordance with the deseno (plat) and all the land contained therein belonged to the grantee. It was so decided by the government of the United States, and a patent was issued to Estudillo for seven thousand and ten acres of land. Don Jose Joaquin was an edu- cated, intelligent and upright man, and he had nothing to gain from a pecuniary standpoint in making the alterations as alleged by the squatters, as the owner- ship of the tract was already in him.
