*Beegum, Cottonwood and Manton are near the Tehama-Shasta
line and have been in both counties, probably by change of site.
Beegum was established in Shasta
County, and transferred to Tehama 18 Jan 1900.
Cottonwood
was established in Shasta County, moved to Tehama 28 March 1860, and back to
Shasta 20 September 1872.
Manton
was established in Tehama County, moved to Shasta 11 August 1897, and back to
Tehama 29 April 1898.
†Transferred
into Tehama County when created: Moon's Ranch from Colusa Co., Red Bluff from
Shasta Co., Tehama from Colusa Co.
‡The
record reports Pine Creek, Butte County, changed to Vina,
Tehama County, 4 April 1871. Apparently there must
have been change of site, as the Butte-Tehama boundary is reported to have been
fixed in 1859.

*Kingsburg
is reported in Tulare County, after its name was changed from Wheatville, until April 1881 or after. Its presence in Tulare
County is doubtful, as indicated by note under Fresno County. The absence of
mention of Wheatville, its predecessor, among the
offices shown for Tulare County, supports that doubt.
†Waukena is reported to have been in Kings County briefly in
1893-4.
See
note under Kings County.
