Description

María Merced Williams & John Rains House
John and María Merced moved from Chino to the new brick house with their three children in the spring of 1861. By that time, Rains was recognized as a rich and politically influential man. In 1862, John left his wife and four children and drove off in a wagon toward Los Angeles. En route he was killed. This murder was never solved. In June 1864, María Merced married José Carrillo. María Merced and José continued to live in Cucamonga. She had nine children in all: five with Rains, and four with Carrillo. The first school in Cucamonga is said to have been started in her home in 1870.
