Note:

Sam Brannan (1819-1889), was an early Mormon pioneer who came to California in 1846, was the first to carry word of the gold discovery to San Francisco, and had much to do with the development of both San Francisco and Sacramento. He also published the former city's first newspaper, the California Star, and was president of San Francisco's 1851 Vigilance Committee.
