    Bancroft's Bear Flagger List
    In what he claimed was the first listing of the 32 or 33 men who took Sonoma on 6/14/1846, Hubert H. Bancroft lists the following names:

    “Ezekiel Merritt, Wm B. Ide, John Grigsby, Robert Semple, H. L. Ford, Wm Todd, Wm Fallon, Wm Knight, Wm Hargave, Sam. Kelsey, G. P. Swift, Sam. Gibson, W. W. Scott, Benj. Dewell, Thos Cowie, Wm B. Elliott, Thos Knight, Horace Sanders, Henry Booker, Dav. Hudson, John Sears, and most of the following: J. H. Kelly, C. C. Griffith, Harvey Porterfield, John Scott, Ira Stebbins, Marion Wise, Ferguson, Peter Storm, Pat. McChristian, Bartlett Vines, Fowler, John Gibbs, Andrew Kelsey, and Benj. Kelsey."

    Bancroft, Hubert Howe could not differentiate too well between David Kelsey (the father) and David Crockett Kelsey (the son) in his writings.
