Who was the Irishman that betrayed Coronel's gold claim?

This Irishman was a trusted member of Ramon Carrillo's party. Ramon's home base was Santa Rosa and secondarily Sonoma (where he headed off to, leaving the Irishman in charge). Might the Irishman be one of the locals: Jasper O'Farrell, Patrick Mc Christian or John Read (the longest established)?

There might be more Irish then the few discussed in earlier times in California by this time. No specifics on this man, but there was an earlier proposal for Irish immigrants to help populate California. The Irish had the Catholic faith in common with Mexico, and besides Macnamaras' plan there were Irish soldiers who deserted and fought for Mexico during the MexicanβAmerican War. Irish immigrants were coming to the US in record numbers:
In October 1845, a serious blight began among the Irish potatoes, ruining about three-quarters of the country's crop. This was a disaster as many people in Ireland depended on the potato as their chief food. The blight returned in 1846 and over the next year an estimated 350,000 people died of starvation. The famine stimulated emigration of a scale that made Fr. Macnamaraβs proposal look almost irrelevant. In 1846 data shows that 92,484 Irish arrived in America and the figure doubled the next year to 196,224. While most of the Irish arrived and stayed on the east coast hundreds made their way to California.
Another site on the history of San Francisco says:
In the last half of 1849, immigrants arrived at the rate of one thousand per week by sea alone.
So once the Gold Rush began, and due to the massive immigration to the US due to the potato famine, I think you may have trouble narrowing down a single unnamed Irishman at this time in California history.
