William F. Drannan was born on the Ocean during his parent's voyage from France to America. They settled in Tennessee. At age 4 he was orphaned by a cholera epidemic. He was then raised by a man named Drake. At age 15 he set out on his own and into an adventurous life. He was taken under the wing of kit Carson and became an Indian scout among many other things. He wrote two books about his life: THIRTY-ONE YEARS ON THE PLAINS AND IN THE MOUNTAINS; or, LAST VOICE FROM THE PLAINS.

September 19, 1880 Census of Carlton, Oregon Drannan, age 47, farm laborer, born in Tennessee, father and mother born in France, married to Annie Drannan age 42 father born in Tennessee mother in Virginia. 8 year old Nellie Harrison Annie’s daughter lives with them.
Perhaps her daughter's last name was Annie's last husbands name if she had one or maybe it is her madian name. I find no marriage record in Oregon, Nevada or California for William Drannan and an Annie.
