Stokes' past is unclear, but some say he was a British sailor who left his post, while others say that he stole medical supplies and impersonated a doctor.
. In 1855, his wife Josefa died at only 39 years old. Within a few years, their oldest son drowned, and in 1864 James Stokes died by suicide, according to local papers. Despite the bad luck of its owners, the house was owned by several families until it became a restaurant in the 1950s, which saw Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and other celebrities as guests.
