FLIPPEN, W. J. Is a native of Tennessee, and was born October 24, 1826. In March, 1852, he moved to Missouri,
where he followed farming until the spring of 1854, when he crossed the plains with ox teams to California. After
spending about three years at mining in Butte County, we find him in Contra Costa County, where he resided until
September, 1866, when he came to Lake County. In the fall of 1867 Mr. Flippen settled on his present place, consisting
of one hundred and twenty acres, located in Scotts Valley, about six miles from Lakeport, where he is engaged in
farming. He was married, December 21, 1848, to Miss Elizabeth Palmer. By this union they have three living children:
Mary H., William and Lizzie. They have lost three: John H., James B. and Jefferson.
