The land case known as The Great Partition of 1871 resulted in Rancho San Rafael being divided into thirty-one sections and given to twenty-eight different people including 724 acres (2.93 km2) for Thom. The land belonging to Prudent Beaudry, Cameron Thom, Alfred Chapman, and Andrew Glassell evolved into Glendale. Harry J. Crow, Cameron E. Thom, and his nephew, Erskin B. Ross, along with B.F.Patterson and B.T.Byram were responsible for the creation of the City of Glendale in 1887.
