"Thanks for the invite. Although born in El Paso and some lay claim that it IS in Texas, I can assure you I am a proud son of the Republic."

"Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, but I am not on here often. I can't afford the price of the dealers shoe. I know they are of good quality and certainly worth the cost, I just can't afford the price for the limited times I show…"

"We have talked in the past Phil and I do appreciate ALL the help you gave me in getting my Faro board done. It has been a BIG hit where ever I have presented Bat and Faro.
Just have to save up some money for that shoe though."

"Bill YOU probably DO know Clyde, just like most, won't admit it. LOL
Notice he didn't add his picture, but Tex Dugan did, on the front page with the ladies of the evening.
See you soon brother."

"Opps MY mistake, she was born 1893. Not 1883. Guess I should proof read before adding."
Wm. B. "Bat" Masterson left a comment for K. Henderson
"My Grandmother was born, 1883, and raised a few years on the Masterson Ranch in Weed, NM. She was brought to El Paso, TX about 1896 by covered wagon.
I went through Weed about 30 years ago, as I was born in El Paso, in 1955 and couldn't find…"

K. Henderson said… - Ok. So now you know that I don't do things in a speedy fashion. After speaking to some long time locals, it appears that Masterson Ranch was in Sacramento, NM in upper Hay Canyon (Sacramento and Weed are right next to each other). There is a Masterson Spring still there. I know the rancher that has the water rights there and she said she will look to see if she can find the deed.
The spring is in Township 17 S, Range 12 E section 26.
No one seems to know about the ranch or has heard anything about Bat Masterson being kin but you would know best about that. If I hear anything else I'll let you know
I can scan part of the forest map that shows the spring and send it to you but if you don't know this area I don't know that it would do you much good. You can also purchase a forest map from USFS pretty cheaply and find it.
