WALTER MILLSAP, a farmer near Cacheville, was born in Missouri, February 27,
1833, the son of Hyal and Rebecca (Huffaker) Millsap, natives of Kentucky, who
emigrated to Missouri and finally died there. The latter was then brought up by

some cattle to California, and arriving at Hangtown he disposed of them and
worked in the mines during the ensuing winter. In 1852 he bought his present
ranch of 117 acres in Yolo County, near Cacheville, and here he has ever since
resided a prosperous farmer and a well-known citizen.

their children are: William Newton, Martha Washington, Oliver, Cassander Amanda,
