Joseph Yves Limantour

Joseph Yves Limantour (1812-1885) was a French merchant who engaged in the California sea trade during the years preceding American occupation of that Mexican province in 1846. In 1853, Limantour made claim to several million acres of California, including most of San Francisco, as a result of Mexican land grants. His claims were judged fraudulent in Federal court. He was father of José Yves Limantour, Secretary of Finance of Mexico from 1893-1911. Joseph Y. Limatour died in Mexico City in 1885. cite book
