<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 9081, member: 44&quot;]Lake House seems to have been a township of some kind 6 miles or so southeast of Sacramento in the 1860s. According to the 9/1/1860 Sacramento Daily Union, a Samuel Barker of Lake House was either selected or elected as a Judge/delegate to a Democratic primary or convention to select Breckenridge and Lane for President and Vice President.</p><p><br /></p><p>The middle column, &quot;Political Notices,&quot; 4th article down titled &quot;Sacramento County - National Democratic County Committee.&quot; The end of the article has a listing of the delegates&#039; townships/districts with one of them Lake House.</p><p><a href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&amp;d=SDU18600901.2.5.2#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&amp;d=SDU18600901.2.5.2#" rel="nofollow">http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&amp;d=SDU18600901.2.5.2#</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmmmm.... interesting. John Beckenridge was the Southern Democratic Party Presidential candidate that ran against Lincoln in November 6, 1860 election. Stephen Douglas was the Democratic candidate and a John Bell was the Constitutional Union Party candidate. Lincoln won the northern states including California and Oregon, Douglas won only Missouri, Bell won Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia, and Beckenridge won the southern states of NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, AR, LA, and TX.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also a Pacific Coast Business Directory of 1867 has Lake House near Sacramento.
