I am afraid I have no familial connection with this BANNING family; however, I just had to write as I am quite familiar with the antebellum BANNING mansion that Phineas built in Wilmington, Los Angeles Co CA ca 1860s having been fascinated with it as a small child and visiting it on a regular basis since ca 1960s. I am still visiting it today--last time about 1 year ago. It never fails to totally envelop me within it's resplendent ambiance of historical spiritedness and Victorian beauty! At Christmas time the Historical Society holds a "Victorian Christmas" event in the mansion, complete with a sit down dinner! I just love the Banning Mansion and am still considering becoming a docent at the museum.
