Obed Macy (1801–1857) and his son, Oscar Macy (ca. 1821–1910). were pioneers in Los Angeles County, California, arriving there by wagon train shortly after California became a part of the United States following the Mexican–American War. Both were members of the Los Angeles Common Council, the governing body of that city, and Oscar was the county sheriff and served on the county Board of Supervisors. They operated one of Los Angeles's historic hotels. Obed was a physician and Oscar, among other things, was a newspaper publisher.
