Josephine Cartlidge (Cartledge) (Tipton)

Josephine was raised by Enoch Tipton and also sealed to him.

When Josephine died in 1932 the information was given by her daughter Daisy Benzley of Furport, Washington.

An important note by an RBFO Genealogist (July 2000): On 30 August 1991 (in the Provo LDS Temple), someone sealed Josephine Cartlidge (Tipton) to her mother Elizabeth Brough and stepfather Enoch Tipton. Even though Josephine was primarily raised by her mother and stepfather, she apparently never had herself sealed to either parent-couple during her lifetime. Therefore, she should also be sealed to her mother, Elizabeth Brough, and (blood) father, Samuel Cartlidge.


Daisy Lavena Benzley

Daisy never married. Her obituary states Daisy Lavenna Benzley was born 22 January 1891 in Randolph, Utah and died 17 January 1941 in Blackfoot, Idaho at the age of 49. She was buried in the Shelly, Idaho cemetery and the funeral was at the Sandberg mortuary. Post Register January 19, P11 & January 20 P10.

"Enoch Tipton 1835-1870" Death date wrong-Corrected in 2003 to read the correct death date by the "Richard Brough Family Organization."
"Elizabeth B Tipton 1834-1896"
RBFO genealogists have obtained property documents and warrantee deeds from the area of Randolph, Utah. They state on "the 14th day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and eighty-eight...Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Tipton his wife of Randolph in the county of Rich, and Territory of Utah...(sold to) Samuel Brough of same county and territory aforesaid...thirty-six acres and one hundred and twenty square rods of ground (in Randolph)."
Probate and petition record from the Rich County Clerk Office in Randolph dated December 13, 1892 state that "Enoch Tipton died on or about June 16, 1888, that previous to his death, he being then in immediate expectation of death, he then and there in said Randolph Rich Co Utah executed and signed a will, making disposition of his property which will was duly witnessed and accompanies this petition."
According to court minutes dated 12-24-1892 "In the matter of the Will and Estate of Enoch Tipton, Deceased" William Rex testified (to which Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Brough Tipton both agreed) that Enoch Tipton died "on his homestead near Randolph, Rich County, Utah," from "Intestinal trouble from lifting."

Research Notes on Enoch Tipton, dated 2 January 2003:
RBFO genealogists have obtained the following information about Enoch Tipton:
1) Property and Warrantee Deeds from the area of Randolph, Utah, state that on "the 14th day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and eighty-eight [or 14 June 1888],...Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Tipton his wife of Randolph in the county of Rich, and Territory of Utah...[sold to] Samuel Brough of same county and territory aforesaid...thirty-six acres and one hundred and twenty square rods of ground [ in Randolph]." This indicates that Enoch Tipton was still alive in 14 June 1888.
2) Probate (#6) and Petition Records from the Rich County Clerk Office in Randolph, Utah, dated December 13, 1892, state that "Enoch Tipton died on or about June 16, 1888, that previous to his death, he being then in immediate expectation of death, he then and there in said Randolph Rich Co Utah executed and signed a will, making disposition of his property which will was duly witnessed and accompanies this petition."
3) According to the Randolph (Rich County) Court Minutes (FHL US/CAN Film # 0480877) dated December 24, 1892, "In the matter of the Will and Estate of Enoch Tipton, Deceased," William Rex testified (to which Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Brough Tipton both agreed) that Enoch Tipton died "on his homestead near Randolph, Rich County, Utah," from "intestinal trouble from lifting."
4) According to Randolph Cemetery records, Elizabeth was “buried on the north side of Enoch Tipton her husband” in Randolph, Utah. Therefore, based on the above information, RBFO researchers have listed the death date and place of Enoch Tipton as "16 June 1888" in "Randolph, Utah." An earlier but undocumented family record had listed Enoch's death date as "21 June 1888", which RBFO researchers now believe was probably Enoch Tipton's burial date. In 2003, RBFO officers corrected the tombstone inscription in the Randolph Cemetery that had earlier--and incorrectly--listed Enoch Tipton's death date as "1870". This earlier--but incorrect--death date for Enoch Tipton was mistakenly inscribed on a "replacement" tombstone during the 1900's. For instance, according to a historical account written by Delle Snowball McKinnon, entitled the "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton" (and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers), "Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today [in the 1900's] the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."

According to an RBFO Genealogist (in July 2000): "The LDS Ordinance Index states that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Asterly, Shropshire, England." Also, Lezlie Anderson (of West Valley City, Utah), the great granddaughter of Eva Nell Tipton and John Garr Snowball, has family group records that state Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835.

This entire Family Group Record on Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Brough was documented and verified by John M. Brough (RBFO Genealogist) of Preston, Idaho, on July 10, 2004.


Elizabeth Brough

The christening for "Elizth" (Elizabeth) Brough is listed in the IGI (via the LDS Extraction Program), and the Longton (Lane End) Parish Register (FHL Film # 1471087, page 184) states that Elizabeth Brough was christened on 1 June 1834 as the daughter of Richard and Mary Brough of Lane End, and that Richard Brough was a "Lab[bourer]".

Research Note dated December 19, 2002: According to Alison U.B. Allred, an RBFO Genealogist, the LDS Ward Records for Randolph, Utah (FHL US/CAN Film # 0026439), identifies the birth date of Elizabeth Brough Tipton as "17 May 1834." However, earlier family records listed it as 13 May 1834. It's difficult to say which one is correct without an actual birth certificate--which is not available.

Also, a "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton," written by Delle Snowball McKinnon and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, states the following about the grave marker: Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."

According to Warren D. Brough, RBFO Genealogist (and published in the 1988 RBFO book, p.78), Elizabeth Brough was baptized a member of the LDS Church on 17 May 1847. This undoubtedly happened in the LDS Longton Branch of Staffordshire, England.

Elizabeth Brough spelled the surname of her first husband as "Cartlidge", as can be seen in the FHL Temple Index Bureau entry (Film # 184652, page 419) for Mary Jane Cartlidge that reads: "Mary Jane Cartlidge, born 14 Dec 1857, Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Died 1858. Sealed to Enoch Tipton [stepfather] and Elizabeth Brough (Cartlidge) Tipton on 28 February 1895. Heir: Samuel R. Brough. Proxy: Emily E. Brough." Elizabeth Brough married her second husband, Enoch Tipton, on 20 Feb 1864 in Bethalto, Madison Co., Illinois.
