By 1860 when he was in his late 20s, he had moved to San Pedro, California where he became a corporal of the Second Regiment, California Calvary. During the Civil War (1861-1865) a detachment of federal troops sailed from Wilmington Harbor to take possession of Santa Catalina Island on January 1, 1864. Their purpose was to secure the island for a proposed Indian reservation. Military personnel left the island in September 1864, but Weston stayed to raise sheep at a time the island was divided into several grazing pastures by a few rancher-squatters. A small island cove in the area where he grazed his sheep now bears his name, Ben Weston Beach. Weston bought extensive pasturelands for his sheep in the Redondo area of Los Angeles County. Ben Weston never married. By 1870 when he was 37, he was living with his friend from Massachusetts, William Howard, who was eight years older than he. They lived together for more than thirty years, until Howard’s death just after the turn of the century. Ben Weston died on April 18, 1905 at age 73, and is buried in Wilmington Cemetery, Los Angeles County, next to William Howard. </div></td></tr>
