ENGLISH, B. F. Was born in Madison County, Kentucky, September 8, 1815. When he was but a child, he, with parents,
moved to Howard County, Missouri. After a short residence there they moved to Salem County, and from there to Clay
County. August 16, 1833, the subject of this sketch married Miss Pauline Durbin, and in 1835 they moved upon the
Platt Purchase. In 1843 they moved into Atchison County, and emigrated to Oregon in 1846. Here farming was followed
until 1863, when they came to California and settled in Green Valley, Solano County. While there the same occupation
was followed as while in Oregon until 1870, when they moved to Lake County and settled on the road leading from
Middletown to Lakeport, near Anderson Springs, where they now reside. They have six living children: Charles H.,
Benjamin F., Harmon H., Eugene, Lane B. and Lucretia; and have lost five.
