Pease, Captain George Anson

George Anson Pease, who was born September 20, 1830, in Stuyvesant Landing, New York, to Norman and Harriet (McAllister) Pease. He came to Oregon via The Horn, arriving in California in September 1849, and came to Oregon the following year. He had six siblings, five of whom grew to adulthood. He purchased boats and began running from Milwaukie to Oregon City, and then expanded to Portland. He worked for many years for the People's Transportation Company, which became the Oregon Steamer and Navigation Company. He worked as captain of the dredge, the 'W. S. Ladd,' until 1903, when he retired.

He married Mildred A. Moore, of Linn City, in 1857. They had four children, but only two of them survived to adulthood: Archibald L. and Harriet M. (who married Edward J. Tibbetts).
