José Tibúrcio Castro was living on Rancho Sausal before the 1834 grant of two square leagues.[3] His father, Jose Macario, was a sergeant in the Spanish army. Jose Tiburcio Castro (1780–1840) was also a soldier, and later civil administrator of secularized Mission San Juan Bautista. Jose Tiburcio Castro married Maria Rufina Alvarez and they had two children: José Antonio Castro and Maria Francisca Castro.
Castro sold the land to Jacob P. Leese, who had married General Vallejo’s sister, and acquired extensive land holdings, in 1852.
Leese is considered to be one of the founders of Salinas, although he left the area in 1865 and did not return until 1885. Leese sold 80 acres (0.3 km2) to Elias Howe, who is usually credited as the founder of Salinas, in 1856.[7][8]
In 1860, Leese sold the rancho to Eugene Sherwood.[9]
