Sutherland - California connection

Article about a Sutherland of Ramona, Calif. - much later than the ones I'm looking for, but interesting. The family prominence could explain why F. S. Sutherland said his father lived in San Diego/San Francisco, which cannot be proven.

US Passport Applications, 1795-1925: Fred S Sutherland. Passport Application: 1906, Michigan, US. Birth: 23 Nov 1866, National City, California. Wife, Julia, was born at Morencie, Michigan. Occupation: Rigger and Contractor. Passport Application: 9 March 1906, Detroit, Michigan.

Birth from statement made by Fredrick S. Sutherland, on a 1906 passport application. The month and date of birth is the same, but the birth year given here is three years later than the one he lists in a 1921 passport application. [He has a young wife--maybe that's why the difference.] The city of birth is different, but that could be explained because the town grew and merged--he apparently gives the current name of the town each time. [It has been San Miguel, Otay, and National City, all in the county of San Diego].
