E. Likely Sources not yet Investigated:

Although the Harry Carey Ranch property was occupied and owned by the Careys
from the 1920s though 1945, and the Clougherty family from the mid 1950s
through 1998, the chain of ownership is not completely documented for the period
of about ten years between 1945 and the mid 1950s. Research conducted for this
project revealed that John and Irene Blanchard, as well as Laura Wagnon and
Catherine McCaleb, owned the ranch for a short time in the late 1940s. The real
property records of Los Angeles County should contain further information about
who else may have owned the property during this period, as well as who sold the
property to the Cloughertys.
