The story of Larkin's life appears in the North Carolina Historical Review and in Mr. Outlaw's large and valuable collection of Duplin historical data and is, in pavt, as follows: In August 1825, a brilliant young Northerner by the name of Thomas Oliver Larkin located in Duplin County and opened a mercantile business at old Rockfish near the present town of Wallace. He was only twenty-three years of age and came south in search of a fortune in business and for his health. He described his location at Rockfish as very pleasant for the solitude he- was seeking and promptly bu came identified with public affairs. During his first year he received an appointment as a Justice of the County Court and took a prominent part in all matters coming before the court. He was the youngest member of the court. Also he re ppived from John McLean, Post master General, an appointment asJ postmaster at KocKtisn ana as a Justice, postmaster and merchant, he was a busy man. During the first six months of his service as a Just Ice of the County Court he declared that he signed his name more than five hundred times and that only two of all tf his decisions were ap pealed to higher court. After a period cf about four years at Rockfish L ..kin decided to close his business and move to Wilming ton where he lived for only a year or two and then decided to locate on the Pacific coast for health. He located at Monterey in what was then Mexican territory, now Calif ornia, and became an outstanding man in the- early history of that country. At first he worked as a clerk and then opened mercantile business of his own, operated a flour mill and dealt in lumber. In ihm hp married Mrs. Rachel Holmes who had gone to the Paci fic to join her husband ana touna herself a widow shortly after arri- val. She had gone on the same ship, Newcastle, as Larkin. She was the first American woman to live in California. Larkin did not seek Mexican citi zenship but obtained a carta wmcn was renewed from year to year. At first he took no part in politics, but supported Alvarado's move ment in 1836. In 1842 he supervised the construction of additions to the Monterey customhouse and opened a branch store in Santa Cruz. In 1R44 he served as United States Consul at Monterey and the next year he was commissioned and ser ved as secret and confidential agent - nf th United States government " "with instructions to create favor able feeling toward the unitea a ciatoo in imnress the advantages of a union with this country, to counteract English sympathies, and to keep this government fully" ln , fnrmmt nf the turn of affairs.
