John B. Frisbie
About
John B. Frisbie (May 20, 1823 – May 11, 1909), known in Spanish as Juan B. Frisbie, was an American lawyer, military officer, politician and businessman, who migrated from New York to California as a young man, married into the prominent Vallejo family, and became deeply involved in Mexico–United States relations. He briefly served in the California legislature and during the Mexican–American War he served in the U.S. Army. He was a founder of the California cities of Vallejo and Benicia, which were respectively named after his father-in-law Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo and his mother-in-law Francisca Benicia Carrillo. After his first career in California failed, he used his familiarity and connections with Mexico to begin a second successful career in that country.
