Mr. Hallquist:
Here's one reference on Marr and Richards and from my search it seems they effort extended all the way to the Pacific coast:

http://books.google.com/books?id=hTFFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA213&dq=Marr+%26+Richards+was+founded+in+1855+by+John+Marr&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EfeCT8-SJdO4twe9s-zBBg&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Marr%20%26%20Richards%20was%20founded%20in%201855%20by%20John%20Marr&f=false
(copy & paste or highlight with mouse and select the Search Google tab)

I'll get the other refs this afternoon as well as have a gander at what looks to be British locks.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
