Benjamin and Thomas Flint and their cousin Llewellyn Bixby left Maine for California in 1851, attracted by the Gold Rush.
They turned from mining to ranching, and in 1852-1853, the three cousins drove more than 2,000 sheep from Ohio to California,
the first step in what would become a highly successful ranching enterprise. Together with Llewellyn's brother Jotham Bixby
they went into business as Flint, Bixby & Company in Monterey County, California.
