MANLOVE, WILLIAM H. Is a native of Virginia, and was born July 3, 1817. When about sixteen years of age he engaged
as clerk in a general merchandise store at Petersburg. This occupation he followed until 1847, when he returned
home and remained with his parents on a farm until 1849, when he sailed, aboard the ship "Marianna,"
for California. After making the trip around Cape Horn, he arrived at San Francisco in September of the above year.
Mr. Manlove went at once to the mines in Amador County, where he prosecuted mining and merchandising for two years.
He then went to the northern mines, where about six months were spent. We next find him engaged in farming in Sacramento
County where he remained until 1855, when he came to Lake County and located in Coyote Valley, where he resided
until 1861, when he was elected Sheriff of Lake County. This office he held two terms by election and a portion
of another by appointment. At the close of his official term he settled in Big Valley, where he has since resided.
He owns three hundred and fifty acres, located about four and one half miles south from Lakeport, where he is engaged
in farming. Mr. Manlove married, in November, 1862, Miss Susan Thompson, a native of Missouri. They have eight
living children, Louisa F., James J., Virginia B., Minnie L., Katie, Hattie H., William D. and Navara.
