Frederick Co, VA, and died Abt. 1788 in Probably in Hampshire Co, VA. He married Elizabeth Ross. She was born Abt. 1715 in possibly Wales
d/o William & Arminella Ross.
Notes for Henry Enoch:
In 1748, Lord
Fairfax sent a surveying party, including 16 year-old George Washington, to
survey his lands along the Potomac and South Branch Rivers. Washington spent
three summers and falls surveying Lord Fairfax's estate, which included
present-day Hampshire County.
"The first
record of the Enochs is from the journal of George Washington, who, when a young
man, made surveys in Hampshire County.
The journal shows that on 4/23/1750, George Washington surveyed land for
Henry Enoch in the forks of the Cacapon to the extent of 388 acres, John Keith
acting as chainman and John Constant as marker. On April 25, 1750, he surveyed another
tract for John Newton, about a mile above said forks, beginning at Henry Enoch's
Corner, with the same men as chainman and marker. The next day Washington surveyed a tract
of 200 acres on the South branch of Little Cacaphon for John Parker, with Henry
Enoch (probably Jr) as chainman."
(Arthur L Keith)
Hampshire County
was created by the Virginia General Assembly on December 13, 1753 from parts of
Frederick and Augusta counties (Virginia) and is the oldest county in the state.
Although its creation was authorized in 1753, it was not actually organized
until 1757 because the area was not considered safe due to the outbreak of the
French and Indian War (1754-1763).
Henry Enoch received a grant of 388 acres in Hampshire Co VA on Cacapon
Creek on 4/22/1753. Apparently in
1756 Henry Enoch, Sr., and Henry Enoch, Jr., were sued by Col. Thomas Cresap
over this same plantation.
In May of 1756 after Mercer's Massacre, the House of Burgesses of the
Colony of Virginia, at the urging of Col. Washington, ordered a chain of forts
to be built from Henry Enoch's at the Forks of Capon south to Halifax County.
A Council Of War, Held At Fort Cumberland,
July 10th 1756
Colonel George Washington—President.
Lieutenant-Colonel Adam Stephen Captain Christopher
Gist
Captain Thomas Cocke
Captain George Mercer
Captain Henry Woodward
Captain William Bronaugh
Captain Robert McKenzie
Captain David Bell
Captain Henry Harrison
The President having informed the Council that the General Assembly had
resolved upon building a chain of Forts for the protection of the Frontiers—To
begin at Henry Enoch’s, on Great Capecapon, and extend in the most convenient
line to Mayo River——the building of which forts was not to exceed two thousand
pounds and as the fixing upon the places judiciously was a matter of great
importance to the Country, He desired their advice thereupon: and put the
following Questions:
First: Whether it was advisable to begin the said chain
of forts at Henry Enochs’s on great Capecapon: The Council was unanimous in
opinion that it was not—Because, as the Province of Maryland had abandoned their
Settlements on Potowmack to a great distance, it left a fertile and populous
district, from that down to Maidstone, at Watkins’s Ferry, exposed to incursions
of the Enemy; and to which there lead several warrior paths to Raystown and
Susquehannak, much frequented by the Indians.
Secondly: Which was the most convenient and central
place to build on, for the protection of that District? The Council was of
opinion that at, or near to Bendieks plantation above the mouth of Sleepy Creek
was the most convenient and centrical place to build a fort on for the defense
of the inhabitants on Sleepy-Creek and Back-Creek the lower parts of Opecon and
Shanandoah river.
Thirdly: Where ought the second Fort to be built? The
Council having considered the situation of the country and the Body of
Inhabitants to be defended, are of opinion, that at or near to Henry Enochs’s
plantation on great Capecahon, is the most advisable place to build the second
fort on. It defends the inhabitants on the waters of Capecapon—is contiguous to
the Settlements on the heads of the Waters of Sleepy and Back-creeks. and
maintains the communication with the Forts on Patterson’s Creek, &c.
Fourthly: Are the Forts on Patterson’s Creek to be
esteemed in the Line intended by the Assembly?— The Forts on Patterson’s Creek
already built, and protected with several necessary houses—and the Country
having more hard service in view, than the small number of their forces can
perform — and considering likewise that to abandon those Forts, and give up so
much to the Enemy would increase their insolence,—and give them a
disadvantageous opinion of our strength,— The Council are of opinion that these
forts are to be maintained, and reckoned in the chain intended by the Assembly.
Fifthly: Is it then necessary to have a fort between
that at Enochs and Ashby’s’? To open a communication between the forts at
Enochs’ and Ashby’s, it is necessary to clear a road leading to the South Branch
above Sutton's plantation, passing near to Ross’s mill; from the best and
nearest way to the fort commanded be Captain John Ashby: and as the distance
will not be above twenty-two miles, it is not necessary to build between.—But
the Council are of opinion a Block-house may be found necessary to secure the
passage of the River.
Sixthly: Are the Forts built by Captain Waggener upon
the South Branch to be deemed in the chain intended by the Assembly’? The Forts
built by Captain Waggener have had the desired effect . The inhabitants of that
fertile district, keep possession of their Farms; and seem resolved to pursue
their Business under cover of them.—They are therefore to be looked upon in the
chain intended by the Assembly.—The Council are of opinion that it will be found
necessary to maintain a Blockhouse at Pearsall's to secure that difficult pass,
and keep the communication open.
Seventhly: Which is the next important & convenient
place for building on, above the upper fort, built by Captain Waggener? Upon the
main branch about twenty miles higher up, where there is a considerable body of
inhabitants. The men in that Garrison may secure that Settlement, and protect
those on the heads of the waters of the South Branch, and those upon Sbanandoah
River.
Eighthly: The President asking whether the Council in
general were acquainted with the particular situation of the frontier to the
southward of the waters of the South branch? The Council declared they were not.
—And thought it advisable that the completing the chain should be referred to
Captain Hogg with directions to build at or about twenty or thirty miles
distance, as the situation of the Country requires,— or Ground will permit — And
to have particular regard to the body of inhabitants to be defended and the
passes most frequented by the Enemy — and that Captain Hogg begin to build
observing the above considerations,—to the southward of Fort Dinwiddie,
extending the line towards Mayo river, as directed by the Assembly.
Lastly: The Question being put—How many men were
absolutely necessary for the defense of Fort Cumberland against an attack with
small arms? Notwithstanding, the whole number of men raised could be employed to
advantage at Fort Cumberland—yet to carry on the intended work, it was necessary
to draw off as many as could be possibly spared— The Council are of opinion that
one hundred and seventy privates is the smallest number that can be left for the
defense of the Garrison against small arms: and that nothing more could be
expected from that number than to act on the defensive,—and do the Duty of the
Garrison—with liquor and to suttle.
The President then asked whether Mr Alexander Woodrow
was qualified for that office; and how he had behaved since his appointment to
suttle? To which the council answered unanimously, that they thought him a very
proper person and well qualified; as he has hitherto behaved with the greatest
exactness and conformity to the rules and orders of the Garrison—and with much
modesty and gentility.
In 1756, Fort Pearsall was constructed on Job Pearsall's plantation for
protection against Indian raids and George Washington provisioned and garrisoned
the Fort at various times until 1758. At that time, there were at least 100
people living in the general area.
In 1757 Hampshire County's population had fallen dramatically as most of
the settlers had fled the county in fear of the Indians. The only families
remaining lived near Fort Pearsall, near the present day Romney, and Fort
Edward, at Capon Bridge.

100 acres for 50 pounds PA money on the SE side of the Great Cacpon; wit. Henry
Jr. and John Corbly.

Enoch.
2 Aug 1782
Henry Enoch & Wife Elizabeth to John Chinoth 57 acres on Hollow Branch of
the North River of Capacon 37 pounds.
Men like George Washington, Christopher Gist & Thomas Cresap stopped
at his home & brought reports of the land on the West side of the
Monongahela River. It is suggested
that Henry Enoch might have acompanied them on a survey tour since Henry Enoch
acted as a chain bearer for George Washington in the Fairfax Grant. The Enochs had visited the Tenmile
Country (PA) before 1757 and gave their name to Enoch's Run which later was
known as Swan's Run and Pumpkin Run; this is a stream that empties into the
Monongahela at Rices landing.
It is believed Henry Enoch died between
1782-4.

Early records of
an Enoch family are found in the records of Old Gloria Die (old Swede's) Church,
where an Enoch Enochs and wife Susannah
were members and their children were named as Gabriel Enoch born Feb.
1695, and Andrew. A descendant
lists parents and grandparents of Henry as: John Enochson and Brigitta
Gastenburg and Garret and Gertrude Enochson. No confirmation of this
information.

Hampshire County Records (L.S. Jones)
From Nancy Carter:
Henry Enoch m Elizabeth Ross and Henry Jr. was their first male
child. Henry's father was Henry
Enochson. I found he and wife
Elizabeth ?? listed in early Dio Gloria church records years ago... that was in
1710 if my memory serves me. Henry
Enochson was the son of Garret Enochson and wife Gertrude... her maiden name is
unknown. He was listed in
Gertrude's will. Henry was
probably born about 1690 - his father died in 1693 if my memory serves me. Henry Enoch m to Eliz. Ross was prob.
born about 1710-11. His death is
estimated from census and court records dealing with the sale of the Capon land
at the fork of the Capon and North River.
Presume you have the information found in Geo. Washington's diaries about
Henry and his brother Enoch.
Our cousin Harry
Enoch did a very nice write up on Henry Enoch, Jr.'s sons called "Affair at
Captina Creek" which has been published.
He also wrote a splendid document which is part of the Enochson book
about Henry Jr. (Lt. Col.) and his brothers David (my line) and Enoch Enochs of
Washington Co, PA.
From Helen S Durbin Website:
ENOCH
Henry, Israel and Abraham Enoch were in Wayne Township, Montgomery
County, prior to 1810, where Abraham married Nancy
Meigh, or HEIGH, 13-
Nov.1813.
The earliest record of this family is found in the records of Old
Gloria Die (old Swede's) Church, where Enoch Enochs and
wife Susannah
were members and their children were named as Gabriel
Enoch born Feb.
1695, and Andrew.
The Montgomery County settlers probably came from Hampshire
Co., Va., where Henry Enoch, an early settler of
Frederick County,
finally located. He received, 22-Apr.1753, a grant for
388 acres
(Washington's survey). The Maryland Archives (Vol. 31,
pp. 247-253)
show that in 1756 Henry Enoch, Sr., and Henry Enoch,
Jr., were sued
by Col. Thomas Cresap over this same plantation. In 1761
he received,
by grant, 271 acres on Little Cacapon, in Hampshire Co.;
in 1763,
278 acres on Great Cacapon; and in 1764, 57 acres, known
as "Enoch's
Hollow."
Hennings Statutes, Vol. 7, p. 18, show that in 1756 a chain of
forts was to begin with Henry Enoch's place on Great
Cacapon in Hampshire
County.
Henry Enoch died between 1782-4; his wife was Elizabeth and they
had sons, Henry, David, Enoch and Col.
John.
Prior to 1790 Henry, Danid and Enoch settled in
Washington
Co., Pa., where they were prominent in the orginazition
of the Ten Mile
Babtist Church, said to be the first church of any kind
in the county.
The first meeting was held at the home of Enoch,
1-Dec.1773. On 4-Feb.
1774, they met at the home of David Enoch. He was one of
the representa-
tives of this church at the Red Stone Association held
7-Oct.1776. About
1781 the Rev. John
Corbly, formerly a neighbor of the Enoch family in
Hampshire County, became pastor of this
church.
Henry Enoch, Jr., was Captain of the Monongahela Militia during
the Revolution; his wife was Sarah; in 1765 he owned 308
acres on Little
Cacapon.
David Enoch had a son David, Jr., born prior to 1776, who had
fourteen children; he also had a daughter, Rachel, who
married Joseph
Arvacost.
Enoch Enoch, in 1753, had 168 acres in Frederick Co. at
the
neck of the Patomac; his wife was
Rebecca.
20-Aug.1778, Isaac Cox, David Enoch and Henry Enoch were recommended
as fit persons to be added to the Commission of Peace of
Youghiogheny
County. The Cox family was connected by marriage. Col.
Isaac married
Mary Enoch. They had no issue; his brother Gabriel
married Sarah Enoch,
daughter of Capt. Henry.

Notes for Enoch Enoch:
History of Washinton Co., Pa.
(Crumrine)
"Enoch Enoch emigrated from England to America (came from Hampshire Co.,
Va.) and settled on the North Branch of the North Fork Delight, located about
one half mile from Lone Pine Village. He built a fort on this land as a defense
against the Indians. Henry Enoch settled at Clarkeville."
Enoch Enoch, in 1753, had 168 acres in Frederick Co. at
the neck of the Patomac; his wife was Rebecca.
Served in Capt Ezekiel Rose's Co of Washington Co
Militia.
He & son Enoch were in Wm Crawford's Co in

Sold land in Ohio Co, WV in 1798
In the book on " The History of Chester CO PA " by
Gilbert Cope 1881 he listed the 1693 Swedish inhabitants page 34 and on page 36
Gilbert Cope listed these families.
His source was taken from this- From Rudmans' list of
members of Gloria Dei Church, 1698 translated from the Swedish records of the
church by Prof. G.B. Keen, we present such families as resided then in Chester
CO.
Crum Creek- dist-
1) Enoch Enoch- his wife Susannah - their children-

- by Jo White Linn- listing the Encochs' starting in 1759. I found also the
Enochs' on the 1790 Rowan CO NC census and this one part of the census is
enumerated.
FYI- The Copes' are listed in the Swedish area known as
New Castle CO PA/DE starting in 1683 to 1710 and then they are in Chester CO PA

Archives, pg 995, Vol 2, 6th Sen.
ENOCH, Abraham is said to be in Wayne Township,
Montgomery County, prior to 1810,
where Abraham married Nancy Meigh, or HEIGH, 13-Nov.1813. (Other sources say he
died unmarried)
In 1775 Henry Enoch and his son, Abraham, joined the
Revolutionary forces and were under the command of General Washington. After the close of the Revolution, the
son, Abraham Enoch, settled on Graves Creek near Crow's Mill. He had for his neighbors, the Crows,
Archers, Wetzels, Morrises, and Girtys.
All of these neighbors have become prominent in the history of our
state. Lieutenant James Rocher was
an officer in the Revolution. Lewis
Wetzel was noted for avenging the murder of his parents by the Indians.
Abraham Enoch had three sons, viz: Enoch Enoch, Isaac and Henry Enoch. In 1803 Captain Enoch Enoch in company
with Martin Crow, Stephen Forshey, Archibald Morris and Lieutenant James Archer
left Greene County, Pennsylvania, and Marshall County, now West Virginia,
crossed the river into Ohio and made the first settlement in what is now Noble
County, Ohio.
The sons and daughters of Enoch Enoch married the sons
and daughters of James Archer. So
extensive were the marriage unions of these families that but few families
bearing the name of Archer that have settled so numerously in Wirt and Jackson
Counties, but may claim descent from Henry Enoch.
General William H Enoch, son of Elisha and Nancy Archer
Enoch, and a grandson of Enoch Enoch, was a General in the Union Army in the
Civil War. He represented Athens
(OH) district in Congress for several terms.

Abt. 1735 in Probably in Hampshire Co, VA, and died July 14, 1797 in At home Mt
Pleasant, near Waynesburg, PA
(Greene Co, PA). He married
Sarah 1759 in Fort Capacon, VA.
She was born Abt. 1740, and died Abt. 1795.
Notes for Henry Lt Col Enoch:
(After 1788 was known as Henry Enoch
Sen.)
In 1765 he owned 308 acres on Little
Cacapon.
It is not surpising to find the Enoch Family among the
first of those to settle on the West side of the Monongahela River in the
Tenmile Country. Certainly these
hardy sons of Henry Enoch, Sr., whom we shall designate as Henry Enoch I, had
plenty of glowing accounts of "the land over the mountains," related to them by
visitors to their father's home in Hampshire County, Virginia. Men like George Washington, Christopher
Gist, and Thomas Cresap, made the home of Henry Enoch I a stopping place worthy
of comment in their records. Since these men knew the back country since the
early days of the Ohio Company, it is most likely that their stories of the land
to be had for the asking, would have been a constant subject for conversation at
Enoch's table and around his hospitable hearth. Perhaps Henry Enoch or some of his sons
even accompanied one or all of these men on their survey tours, just as Henry
Enoch acted as chain bearer for George Washinton in the Fairfax Grant. Certainly they had been to the Tenmile
Country before 1757 and gave their name to "Enoch's Run," (later known as Swan's
Run and now Pumpkin Run, which empties into the Monongahela at Rices Landing) as
shown by the deed of John Owens, in 1757, to Abraham Teagarden. This run is so called in other deeds and
on some early maps. There is
nothing to show that the Enochs built a cabin or planted crops on this land to
claim it, and they may only have surveyed it and gave their name to the stream
nor is it quite clear where they made their first improvement in the Tenmile
Country. (From Ten-Mile
Book)
Henry Enoch, Jr., served as Captain of the Monongalia Militia.
In Washington Co/Greene Co, PA is listed in Springhill Township Tax lists for
1772
As early as 1774 the land lying between the Little
Kanawha and the Hughes Rivers was entered in Virginia in favor of one Richard
Lee, and was listed as delinquent land before 1783. This part of Virginia being a part of
Monongalia at that time. Harrison
County was not created from Monongalia until 1784. Henry Enoch of Pennsylvania was given
certificate for the tract of delinquent land which contained four hundred
acres. It was not redeemed by
Richard Lee and Mr. Enoch became owner by paying the state of Virginia the sum
of 10 pounds sterling and 16 shillings.
He was given a deed for the same signed by Beverly Randolph, Governor of
Virginia, April 9, 1789. This deed
was entered and examined at Clarksburg, Harrison County, VA in June Court
1789. In November 1796 this same
tract of land was sold to Thomas Pribble (son-in-law) of Greene Co PA by Henry
Enoch recorded in Harrison County. (From Somerville Book)
The following suggests the same land
transaction:
1) 4/7/1789
(for military service) came into possession of a tract of 400 acres on the
Little Kanawha River signed by the governor of Virginia "in the 13th year of the
commonwealth. This tract was later transferred to Thomas Pribble of Virginia by
Henry Enoch of PA. (from Barr Wilson writings)
2) Notes in
Sommerville book show "A tract of 400 acres of land lying between Little Kanawha
River and Hughes River was patented to Richard Jackson in 1774. This land was returned delinquent
1782. Henry Enoch received a
certificate for the same February 14, 1783. Done at Ohio Court, VA. By actual survey he received a deed for
this same land in Monongalia Co, VA April 9, 1789". Nov 24, 1796 land was sold to son-in-law
Thomas Pribble - deed on record at Harrison Co, WV court house. Land showing as Newark, Newark District,
Wirt Co, WV.
3)
"Henry Enoch was given a certificate for 400 acres of land for service in
the Revolutionary War by the Commissioner of Unpatented Lands of Virginia in
1783. On April 7, 1789, he received
a surveyed patent for 350 acres of land on the Little Kanawha River in Harrison
County (now Wirt County), signed by Governor Beverly Randolph. In 1795 Henry Enoch and Thomas Pribble,
his son-in-law, came to the Little Kanawha and visited the Enoch
settlement." (Burning Springs and
Other Tales of the Little Kanawha)
"Removed
from New Jersey at an early day and settled on Mill Creek, Berkley Co., Va., and
in September 1775 removed to Ten Mile Creek of Monangahela. Forted first at
Henry Enoch's fort, two miles below where he lived on Ten Mile, at the forks,
and two miles above its mouth. The Enoch's being in the centre of the
settlement, there the settlers resorted of summers, and Maj. Stites among them.
Richard Jackson's fort, nine miles above on Ten Mile, was on the frontier, and
there men from the region of Enoch's fort had to go to defend Jackson's." ( From Mrs. Phebe Miranda, Morrow, Ohio,
daughter of Maj. Benjamin Stites, born 3rd December 1774 in Beckley Co.,
Va)
In Draper's Papers: Jackson's Fort on south fork of Tenmile,
was principal station in that region. Ross's, and John Antrim's (Ankrom's) on
the south fork. Jacob Vanmeter's on Muddy Creek, Legg's (Clegg's) on Dunkard
Creek, William Minors on Big Whitley Creek, Guthrie's on Big Whitley, John
Swan's on Swan's Run, Henry Vanmeter's also on Swan's Run, Henry Enoch's at the
forks of the Tenmile, (he was the father of Captain Enochs) Bell's Fort on Rough
Creek and others.
In 1776
Captain Henry Enoch Jr., was with General Gaddir's command of VA troops
in an expedition against the Indians west of the Ohio River which lasted three
months. (From Somerville Book which cites "War Dept Washington,
DC")
Was a Col in Rev at Ft Jackson, Greene Co,
PA
In a letter dated Oct 16, 1776, from Gen Dorsey
Pentacost to General Harold, Captain Henry Enoch Jr. is creditably mentioned
(Somerville Book)
A deed in Washington Co, PA is reported to show Henry
Enoch II made some sort of improvement at the place he was selling on Wheeling
Creek and was "land which was taken up in Augusta County, VA in 1777" (probably
Greene Co, PA) - pg 51 "The Tenmile Country"
1778 Capt Henry Enoch Jr. joined General Sheppard's
command of VA militia in defense of western Pennsylvania against the Indians
(From Somerville Book citing Montgomery's Archives of PA, Morgantown
WV)
During Rev War he was advanced from Captain of the
militia to Lt. Col of Washington Co, PA 1st Battalion, March 28, 1781 &
served until 1782. Feb 4, 1782, he
was appointed, elected and commissioned to 2nd Bat., PA, militia was serving in
Btn 2nd, May 7, 1783, returned Officers Bat 2, July 7, 1784; Lt. Col Henry
Enoch. (Somerville Book)
Was serving as Lt. Col of 1st Btn of Washington Co
Militia in 1782. He was also a Capt
of a Co earlier in the war. His
company would be expected to have been recruited in the vicinity of Clarksville,
and he also recruited at Ft. Jackson.
Pension applications of soldiers who served under him
document his Revolutionary War Service.
He served on the Committee of Observation for that part of Augusta County
that lies on the west side of Laurel Hill at Pittsburgh, chosen the 16th day of
May, 1775. He was also Lt. Col of
the 1st Btn, Washington Co, PA Militia.
Records show he went out on tours of duty at other times with his son Henry III. (Note: A Miss Virginia Steer of Wood County, WV
was accepted as member of DAR which makes all other descendants
eligible.)
From Barr Wilson's writings: Captain Henry Enoch had been military
observer of the District of August 1778 and Captain of the Monongalia Co Militia
& was lieutenant-colonel under Major Carmichal in
1782.
Records of land transferred
8-Mar.1785, Henry Enoch, Jr. and wife Sarah of Washington Co. to John
Minhur.
11-Jan.1789, Henry Enoch, Jr. and wife Sarah of Washington Co. to John
Bumfield.
10/25/1786
Henry II bought a tract of land of some 300 acres at Forks of Tenmile Creek from
Frederick Bumgarner. The land was situated at the Forks of Tenmile Creek. Built
home here & remained here rest of his days. He was issued a warrant as Henry
Enoch, Jr. registering the title "Mount Pleasant".
1788 Owned
land around Dunkard & Wheeling Creek.
It is said the last visit by a physician to his bedside
was on July 14, 1797, the day he died.
The Enoch home in Pennsylvania lay across the line of
Washington and Greene Co, PA, so the
estate of Henry Enoch Sen lay partly in Greene Co, PA
and partly in Washington Co, PA
Waynesburg, PA, Sept 18, 1797, Orphans Court, Greene Co,
PA. We desire Benjamin Bell may
administer on the estate of Henry Enoch the older, our father, deceased July 14

From Draper's Papers:
Up Wheeling Creek in the Spring of 1793, perhaps in May,
Captain William Enochs, with a party of men, pursued Indians that had killed two
of widow Crow's daughters. About seven miles up Captina, they fell in with the
enemy and a battle ensued. Captain Enoch killed an Indian, Abraham McCoun killed
another. The whites were defeated with the loss of Abraham and Isaac McCoun,
Abraham Enochs and John .......ines, and perhaps more. Duncan MacArthur was in
this defeat. When the party returned subsequently, the body of Abraham Enochs,
(the first who was killed in the fight, he being in advance) was found, cut up
and mangled. The body of one of the McCouns was not found. Harrod had advised
Captain Enochs not to follow much over the river.

Prior to 1790
Henry, David and Enoch Enoch settled in Washington Co., Pa., where they
were prominent in the organization of the Ten Mile Baptist Church, said to be
the first church of any kind in the county.
The first meeting was held at the home of Enoch Enoch
1-Dec.1773. On 4-Feb. 1774, they met at the home of David Enoch. He was one of
the representatives of this church at the Red Stone Association held 7-Oct.1776.
About 1781 the Rev. John Corbly,
formerly a neighbor of the Enoch family in Hampshire County, became pastor of
this church.
In 1783 in Hampshire County Tax list a David Thomas
Enoch is showing - Abram Hite Tax Collector
From Nancy Carter:
NLCALB@aol.com
My David Enoch, son of Patriot Henry, had a son David
Jr. He was reported to have married
Eliz. Peck. That has been disproved
by the Peck research line and we also disproved that error by Leckey. David Jr. had a son David - he did not
marry a Peck daughter either. David
Jr. was married twice... documentation is available for both wives.
If you have an interested the Enochson book is on CD and
Kinkos makes copies when I give them the CDs to produce the book. The CDs do not work on my hard drive,
they are specific to Kinkos machinery. The book costs about $100 to
reproduce. It was copyrighted in
2000. As I said in the first
message, only 6 lines have surfaced giving correction and addition to the text
printed in 2000. It is in two
volumes. The first volume goes from
1650 to 1850. The second from
1850-1950 and includes the Appendices and Index. It is in two volumes because it is too
large to bind in one volume.
The text of the Enochson book was focused on bringing
all of the lines possible to 1850... then only others' research and
contributions brought lines from 1850 to the present. You certainly have information that I do
not. I would like to send you the
first three generations of Henry Jr (Lt. Col.) Enoch's family with notes. Hope you will read it through and share
added information or refute information that I have given. I am not distressed with
corrections. Your research in Wirt
Co. is superior to anything I have been able to use from our library here in
Albuquerque.

Burial: Newark Cemetery, Wirt Co,

Notes for Thomas Pribble:
From "Burning Springs and Other Tales of the Little
Kanawha":
"Henry
Enoch was given a certificate for 400 acres of land for service int he
Revolutionary War by the Commissioner of Unpatented Lands of Virginia in
1783. On April 7, 1789, he received
a surveyed patent for 350 acres of land on the Little Kanawha River in Harrison
Coutny (now Wirt County), signed by Governor Beverly Randloph. In 1795 Henry Enoch and Thomas Pribble,
his son-in-law, came to the Little Kanawha and visited the Enoch
settlement."
Barr Wilson says he was with the engineers of the Erie
Canal in 1782 and appears in Washington Co, PA in 1784
Pension application says he moved from Washinton Co PA
to Wood Co, VA in 1796
Was one of the justices of court that organized Wood Co
on 8/12/1799; was sheriff of Wood County in 1803
In 1810 census of Wood County.
Note sure who this is (from Ten Mile Book by
Leckey):
“Thomas Pribble, Sr., probable father-in-law of George
Teagarden, who in 1768 was a witness in the John Peters to George Teagarden
deed, was owner of a tract of land on Enoch’s Run, (later Pumpkin Run) which had
been surveyed to John Rice, and conveyed by Rice on April 24, 1787, to Thomas
Pribble, Sr. Then in 1794 Thomas sold a portion of this land to Richard Swan,
another portion to Job Priddle [sic], and a third portion to Midian Garwood.
(Washington County Deed Book 1-I-890, 1-K-94, 1-L-208.) From the list of signers
of a petition for the formation of a new state to be called Westsylvania, sent
the Continental Congress, we get the impression that Thomas Pribble, Sr., was
the father of Thomas, Jr., Job, and Reuben Pribble, whose names are grouped
together. A Stephen Pribble was in Jesse Pigman’s Company and Stephen’s son,
James Pribble, got a pension from Pendleton County, Kentucky. The Pribbles seem
to have migrated to that state about 1794.

Enoch, The Enoch Family in Hampshire Co (West) Virginia and Washington
County, Pennsylvania, (1999),
E-mail from author regarding tombstone.) was born January 24, 1774 in prob
Hampshire Co, VA or PA per 1850 census Wirt Co, VA (Source: Pauline Somerville
& Lola Mae Smith, The Memories and Writings of Harold David Somerville
Volume III, (2001), page 239.),
and died June 09, 1852 in Wirt Co, VA.
He married (1) Ann ? (Source: Nancy Carter, (April 2002).). She was born Abt. 1775. He married (2) Amy Tracy February
04, 1800 in PA (Source: Pauline Somerville & Lola Mae Smith, The Memories
and Writings of Harold David Somerville Volume III, (2001), page 239.). She was born 1785 in PA, and died in No
record of her death.
Notes for Isaac Enoch:
Although the "Ten Mile" book says he was born 1752, this
is either a mis-print, or he was named for an older deceased brother. The
"Somerville" book says he was born 1/24/1774 which matches with census data; he
was showing as age 74 in 1850 census.
On Oct 23,
1796 Isaac and his father signed an article of agreement that said Isaac
was to take care of his father and mother until their death, for which Isaac was
to get he home plantation and saw mill.
On May 5, 1796 (?), in Washington Co/Greene Co, PA, Isaac
patented land under the title "Essex".
He received the house and mill on Henry Enoch's plantation. He served in the Washington Co Militia.
When Henry Enoch Sr died around1797, his sons, William
and Isaac, were already in financial difficulties. The Enoch home in Pennsylvania lay
across the line of Washington & Greene County. But in 1799, owing money to Robert
Clarke and Ezekiel Hoover, he found he was unable to pay. In April session of
Court, the sheriff of Greene County took over and proceeded to sell the assets
available. These included the grist
mill of his father, and the Iron Works his father had operated, as well as the
land on which they stood, including the tracts of both Isaac and William
Enoch. The records of this sale
were not entered in the Greene County Courts until later years, and are to be found in Deed Book 344, pp
359. The buyer at the sheriff's
sale was Samuel Clarke. Others were
William Bell and Ellis Nichols.
Some time between 1789 and 1796, Isaac had come to
Newark, Wirt Co, WV (then Wood County) with his father to look at the 400 acres
his father had received and in the spring of 1796 Isaac Enoch's sister &
brother-in-law Thomas & Hannah Enoch Pribble took possession of the land
which Hannah & Isaac's father had sold to his son-in-law Thomas Pribble.
"After his father died, Isaac came to Wood Co, VA with
his brother-in-law, Thomas Pribble, and settled near the present village of
Newark, Wirt Co, WV. He established
a saw and grist mill and was prominent in the industrial life of the
county. He dealt in land. Isaac had five daughters and three sons,
most of whom married and lived in the Wood or Wirt County area of WV" (From a
descendant of Thomas Pribble)
Hardesty's History of Wirt County says he was early
settler in Clay District and that he died in 1858, aged seventy-seven
years.
Isaac Enoch, came from Greene Co, PA to what is now Wirt
Co, WV in May 1797. He came with
his sister, Mrs. Thomas Pribble, and 5 children when she came to join her
husband. He returned to
Pennsylvania in July 1797 due to the death of his father.
Hannah and Thomas Pribble erected their home in Newark (Wirt Co). They came down the Ohio River in a
flatboat and found their way to what is now Newark. The Newark district is bounded
east by Clay, south by Elizabeth, west by Tucker, and north and northwest by
Wood county. The Little Kanawha river flows centrally through the district.
Standing Stone creek enters from the east and discharges its waters into the
Kanawha a short distance above the town of Newark.
Hyatt Leisure settled on the right bank of the Little
Kanawha river, just below the present site of the town of Newark, in the year
1803. Jacob Deem, Richard Lee, and William Dent came the same year.
Isaac's wife was Amy Tracy, whom he married in
1800. Amy Tracy was a step-sister
to Henry Steed, 1st, who came from Greene County PA and settled near the
junction of Hughes and Little Kanawha Rivers in Wirt County, WV.
(From Enoch GenFroum) There is a document, "Enoch Family
Research," compiled by Harry D. Roberts (ca. 1970), filed in the NY Public
Library, which gives two conflicting genealogies of the family of Henry Enoch of
VA/PA. In one, his son ISAAC (b 24 Jan 1774), married Amy Tracy on 2/4/1800.
Their children are listed as William, Abraham, Druzilla, Nancy, Amy, Evaline,
Lovena and Isaac.
In the other, Isaac Enoch Sr. (b 1752) marries Amy Tracy
(year not given) and their children are Isaac, Jr., Abraham, Drusilla, Nancy,
Amy, Evaline, Lavina and William.
In 1802 he is showing with 40 acres - cor. to Thomas
Pribble in what was then Wood Co
In 1809 he is showing with 600 acres on Reedy
Creek
In 1810 he is showing with 200 acres on 2nd Left Hand
Fork

Isaac Enoch was Captain of the 1st Military Co. in Wood
Co, VA under Col Deason Barnes which was established in
1800.
Isaac had purchased 16 acres of land from Richard Lee
and the mill site of Sheppard Cornell.
He operated the first grist mill in the Newark District
in about 1804. It was constructed
of logs, and propelled by water power.
He several years later erected a saw mill in connection with
it.
He was serving as deputy sheriff of Wood Co, VA in 1806
(June 3rd)
In 1806 he is showing as a landowner in Wood Co,
VA.
In 1807, he was allowed to build a mill dam across the
little Kanawha River at Lee's Ripple, below the Steed farm. The mill was located on the East bank of
the river.
Patented land February 15, 1809 & on April 3,1809
sold 600 acres on Right Reedy Creek to Jonathan Sheppard in Wirt Co for
$2000
10/3/1810 Jonathan Sheppard to Isaac Enoch 100 acres
Right Reedy Creek $100.
He served in the War of 1812 as Lieutenant in Colonel
William Rowel's company of VA militia.
For many years he was a Notary Public.
In 1812 he is showing with 150 acres on Reedy Creek
along with other land grants on Slate Creek, Worthington Creek, Hughes River and
Goose Creek.
In 1812, he sold two tracts of land to Thomas Pribble,
and re-located on the East side of Hughes River on a large tract of land that he
bought from the heirs of George Green in 1800. The area, known at various times as
Green's Ford, Greenville & Green Castle, was at the ferry on Hughes River,
1/2 miles from Staunton Pike (now State Road No. 47) in Wirt Co -- 1 1/2 miles
above the junction of the Hughes River with the Little Kanawha. At that time the country road went
around the hill, divided his land, and crossed the Hughes River at Peck's Ford,
and on through the hills to Elizabeth WV.
It was abandoned by the coming of the locks and dams on the Little
Kanawha River in 1874.
His home was on the east side of the road, and the
chimney was standing in 1877. There
were two very large beech trees nearby, but they were burned in a forest fire in
1912. Some of his older
children married there and lived in that section.
1820 he is showing with 1800 acres on Reedy Creek in
what was then Wood County.
In 1830 census:
Enoch, Isaac - 1-male 10-15; 1 male 50-60;1 female under
5; 3 females 10-15; 1 female 15-20; 1 female 30-40
In 1834 he signed a statement as Isaac Enoch 2 (or was
this another Isaac?) If same, why
Isaac II?
In 1850 census of Wirt County, Isaac Enoch age 74 born
in PA is living in household of son-in-law Adolphus Peck who married Nancy
Enoch.
Hardesty's History of Wirt Co says: Isaac Enochs, . . .
died in 1858, aged seventy-seven years. . .
He died while on a visit to the home of his daughter,
Amy Enoch Clark. His funeral was
held at the home of his nephew, Hiram Pribble, Newark, VA with the Rev Wilson
Hindman officiating. Another source
says he died Oct 1, 1852 and another source says June 9,
1852.
From Harry Enoch: "Isaac was buried on a mountaintop
near Newark. Don Withers of Hanover
PA showed me a photo of Isaac's tombstone.
It has brithdate 29 January 1775 and deathdate 10 October 1852. (About 2 years ago I visited the
graveyard but was unable to find Isaac's stone."

in PA -- not sure if relative or perhaps another child.

Sharon <Sharon4673@aol.com>
Somerville Book Vol 111 shows Druzilla Enoch marrying
Adolphus Peck 1/2/1838. This is
should be Nancy, her sister.
Notes for George Peck:
George is probably a brother to Adolphus who married
Drusella's sister. Peck's
Ford was near where the Kanawha & Hughes Rivers merged, and the Pecks lived on the south bank of
the Hughes River.
The area, known as Green's Ford, Greenville & Green
Castle, was at the ferry on Hughes River, 1/2 miles from Staunton Pike (now
State Road No. 47) in Wirt Co -- 1 1/2 miles above the junction of the Hughes
River with the Little Kanawha. At
that time the country road went around the hill, divided Isaac Enoch's land, and
crossed the Hughes River at Peck's Ford.
It is thought the Pecks might have been Peckinpaugh
originally. They probably were part
of the Peck family in Greene Co, PA and came with other families from that area,
but we have no proof. Based on
Somerville's writings, it is believed George & Adolphus were brothers. A Thomas Peck is in the tax list
for 1784 for Greene Co, PA. A Henry
Van Meter b 1767 married Christena Vansickle & moved from Greene Co, PA to
Mason Co, WV about 1800 Two of his
children married Pecks.
