VANN, P. W. Was born in Illinois, August 12, 1819. In 1824, his parents moved to Sumner County, Tennessee, where
they resided for six years, and in 1830, they moved to Cooper County, Missouri, and in 1836, to Polk County, that
State. In 1839, they moved to Newton County, and in 1846 they moved to Greene County. In 1852 the subject of this
sketch crossed the plains to California, arriving in Napa Valley October 25th of the above year. Here he resided
until the fall of 1853, when he moved to Sonoma County and settled eight miles above Healdsburg, where he followed
farming seven years. He then moved to Potter Valley, Mendocino County, where he followed farming about ten years;
then moved to Point Arena, where he spent one year, and then moved to Ukiah, where he resided about one year. We
next find Mr. Vann on a cattle ranch in the Eel River country, where he remained one year. He then, in July, 1874,
came to Lake County and settled on his present place, consisting of forty acres, located about one and one half
miles from Upper Lake. He married, August 14, 1839, Miss Spicy E. Davison. They have six living children: Joel
W., William, Sarah E., Martin B., Thomas E. and Alice. They have lost six: John W., Mary J., Ellen M., Martha A.,
Robert L. and Minnie.
