  • Notes 
    • In the year 1867, July 3rd, William Alston Hayne with his wife and seven sons (the first born died an infant in Charleston) arrived at San Francisco, per steamer "Sacramento". There they were met by Dr. Arthur P. Hayne, settled some years previously in San Francisco with his two children. After a few months' residence at Oakland, Ca., Col. Hayne fixed upon Santa Barbara, "El Montecito", as his future home. At the time of his death, he was buried on an open common- his, the first grave. It was through the exertions of his father that the enclosure was made a public burying ground - the company incorporated by Legislature of 1875, of which body Col. Hayne was a member.In the year 1867, July 3rd, William Alston Hayne with his wife and seven sons (the first born died an infant in Charleston) arrived at San Francisco, per steamer "Sacramento".
