Other than Durham, the only reference to this is in a story about a holdup repeated in several sources, all of which refer to people coming from the North American House. Waystation, maybe, but I find no reference to this as a settlement. A passing reference in a story and an entry in a book of placenames is just not enough for notability.

- Delete. newspapers.com shows a number of Stockton-area papers from the 1860s to 1880s making reference to the North American House on the road to Mokelumne Hill, California, most often the scene of an arrest, an attack, a duel, or a stagecoach robbery. Pacific Bee of Sacramento August 20 1886: "...we are at the North American House, on the old Mokelumne Hill and Stockton road. This place has from time immemorial been a stage station, and is famous for the number of stages robbed near it in (sic) and since the flush times." Mildly interesting, but clearly not a settlement. -- Lockley ( talk) 04:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
