SMITH, WILBURN. Was born in North Carolina, February 17, 1824. At the age of fourteen he went to Missouri, and
from there visited Texas and New Mexico. In 1850 he crossed the plains to California, arriving at Sacramento in
August. He spent the first eighteen months in the mines, and then returned to Sacramento and worked on a ferry
boat for about eighteen months. The next two years were spent in Yolo County, and the following four years in Green
Valley, Solano County. A year was spent at teaming in Nevada, and eighteen months at farming in the same State.
He then returned to Yolo County, and followed farming for three years. In the spring of 1869 he came to Lake County,
and settled in Bachelor Valley, where he now owns three hundred and twenty acres of land, and is engaged in farming.
He was married, May 30, 1858, to Miss Abbie Tinder. They have one living child, Sarah E., and have lost three:
Fannie, Richard and Carrie M.
