    • Copy of Declaration of Intention to Become a Citizen of the USA:
      On this 5th day of April, 1859, James Reburn, an alien being a free white person, do declare that I was born in Ireland on or about the year of 1794, that I emigrated to the United States and landed at the port of Boston on or about the month of May, 1858, that it is my intention in good faith to become a citizen of the United States...Court of Eau Galle, April 5, 1859


      Information given by Kathryn Rayburn:
      His Declaration of Intent sheet says that he was born on or about 1794. But if he died in 1879 at the age of 97, he would have been born in 1782.
      James and his son, James were the original blacksmiths in the village of Eau Galle, WI. They were among the first settlers there.


      Land Patent from Jim Berman:
      It reads, "Whereas James Raburn of Dunn County, WI has deposited in the General Land Office of the United States of the Register of the land office at Hudson whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said James Raburn according tot he provisions of the Act of Congress of the 24th of April 1820, entitled "An act making futher provision for the sale of Public Lands, " for the North West quarter of the North West quarter, of Section one, in Township twenty-five of Range fourteen in the District of Lands subject to sale at Hudson, Wisconsin containing forty-seven acres and twenty eith hundredths of an acre." The document is dated the first day of June, 1860 (and of the Independence of the United States the 84th). James Buchanan is noted as the President.

      "Mr. James Rayburn, Sr., of Eau Galle, one of the oldest settlers in this section, died on Saturday last. He had been sick only a short time and doubtless died of old age--having reached the ripe age of 97 years. His funeral was largely attended at the Catholic Church in Eau Galle on Monday. Over 80 teams joined the prcession that followed the remains of this aged citizen to his last resting place. Requeiscat in pace.
