Jose Amesti (1788–1855), a Spanish Basque, came to Monterey on the "Panther" in 1822, and married María Prudenciana Vallejo (1805–1883), sister of Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, in 1823.[2] Jose Amesti built the two-story adobe, Casa Amesti, in Monterey. Amesti was alcalde of Monterey in 1844. Amesti leased portions of the four square league Rancho Los Corralitos for timber cutting, and established his own Lumber mill on the upper portion of the rancho. Jose Amesti and his wife Pudenciana Vallejo de Amesti had four daughters: Maria del Carmen Josefa Antonia Amesti (1824–1901) who married in 1848 James McKinley, who was the patentee of Rancho San Lucas and Rancho Moro y Cayucos; Maria Santa Epitacia (1826–1887); Maria Bernardina Celedonia Carmel (1828–1916); and niece Tomasa Madariaga y Vallejo, who was adopted.
