Bashford Family Patriarch Coles Bashford (b. 1816 - d. 1878) is best known as the 5th governor of Wisconsin and Prescott Businessman. He was admitted to the bar in 1842 in New York at the age of twenty-six. In 1848, Coles married Frances Adams Forman (b. 1827 – d. 1911) of Senaca Falls, New York. The couple had seven children, born between 1848 to 1869. He first traveled to Arizona with President Lincoln's officials in early 1864 and was then appointed attorney general for the Arizona Territory, the first attorney admitted to practice in Arizona. He was elected to a seat in the Arizona Second Legislature in the spring of 1864 and was instrumental in the selection of Anson P.K. Safford as Arizona Governor in 1868. In 1874, he partnered with his brother Levi in various Prescott businesses and established the Bashford-Burmister general store. Coles died in 1878, and Mrs. Bashford relocated to Oakland, California, with her children and settled in the area until her death on December 1, 1911.
