Notes:  James Ella’s brother, Alexander Andrews, decided that he was going to go back to Kentucky and marry his sweetheart and bring her out to the new prosperous state of California.  Alexander had a ranch there, south of Shasta, which would be her new home.  Henry Clay Stockton went back with him to be his best man.  While in Maysville, Kentucky, Henry Clay Stockton married Alexander’s sister, James Ella, in 1855.  And so the two couples took the trip from the East Coast down to Panama, crossed Panama by mule train, came up by ship to San Francisco, took a riverboat up the Sacramento River to Red Bluff, and finally road a stage coach into their new community of Shasta.

A couple years later, in 1857, James Ella died giving birth to their daughter.  Her brother, Alexander Andrews, adopted the baby, and Henry Clay Stockton never really recovered from the loss.
