RESI
In the early days of the California gold rush, in 1849, Enoch joined a group of men including Rubin Goslin ( whose daughter ha was later to marry), who went to California and Oregon. there is a family legend that instead of panning for gold, as nearly everyone else was doing at that time, Enoch found that he could make more money by digging up trees stumps in the streets of San Francisco at 10 dollars a day. While returning to Missouri Rubin Goslin died somewhere along the Green river in Utah. Later the remainder of the party were caught in a heavy snow storm near Raton Pass, in New Mexico. Serveral members died by freezing or starvation and Enoch health was greatly impaired, that he never fully recovered.
In 1859 Enoch and his wife Martha left St. Joseph, Missouri, by oxdrawn coverd wagon, with three small children and such stocks and other Possessions as they could take with them. They arrived in the spring of 1860 in the vicinity of Watrous, New Mexico, about twenty five miles north of Las Vegas.
Here Enoch developed a ranch in what came to be known as Boone Valley, initialy, about 1,000 acres. This ranch was known as the Enoch Tipton Ranch, at the time of his death consisted of many Thousands of acres, an excellent herd of calttle, sadddle housres, including some of the Morgan breed, The value of the rqanch was estimated at $500,000. In the early days Apache Indians would ride down from Fort Union area and drive off horses and cattle, but they never molested women and children.
At the time of his death the family was living in a combination log-rock-adobe house, but Martha Jane soon after, bult a large two story house, with cellar, made of bricks made on the ranch. The house was near the Mora river, and it was that house that Enoch's son Stonewall Jackson tipton and Minnie Maude Thompson were married in 1895, near old Tiptonville.
Rosa was killed by a pony on the New Mexico Plains.
