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 1852-53, the three cousins drove more than 2000 sheep from Ohio to California, the first step in what would become a highly successful ranching enterprise. Together with Llewellyn's brother Jotham they went into business as Flint, Bixby & Company.
