William M. Haun
Died Apil (April) 3, 1866.
Aged 46 y'rs 7 mos & 8 Days
William was born Aug 26, 1819 on a farm in Jackson County, Missouri.
He & his father-in-law, John Whisman, moved their families to Santa Clara Valley, California 1846-1848.
" In the year 1846, as we have stated in our remarks in the early settlement of Fremont township, there settled near Mountain View a family of the name of Whisman. In company with them was one WIlliam Haun, who had married one of the daughters of "Old John " Whisman. Haun and his wife took up their residence at the Mission of Santa Clara in 1846, and there remained until 1852. In the Winter of 1851-2 Mr. Haun, accompanied by his father-in-law, had taken up some land and commenced the erection of a water-power flour-mill, on the site of the Saratoga Paper Mill, a the same time building as a residence the house now occupied by John Maclay. The mill building was three stories in height; it was constructed with great care, and the water was conducted in a flume a distance of one-fourth of a mile to the wheel. In the year 1863 it was sold to Charles Maclay, and in that following , 1864, was destroyed by fire. It will thus be seen that very early in the history of the settlement of the township, Redwood had two flour-mills." Source http://www.mariposaresearch.net/santaclararesearch/SCBIOS/redwoodt.html
