    "Henry Enoch, born c. 1707 in Bucks County, was living in Kingsessing in 1730 when he signed the tardy inventory of his brother John's estate. However, he soon left to join his Enochson cousins in western Maryland. He married Elizabeth Ross, daughter of William Ross."

    "On 23 April 1750 George Washington surveyed for him 388 acres at the Forks of the Cacapon River in Hampshire County, Virginia. George Washington also dined at his home in 1770. Henry died there in 1783."

    "The Enochs family along with the Crows, grandons, Morris's and Archers were the early settlers of Noble County, taking residence on the east fork of Duck Creek. The Acquaintances of the Enochs family with these other families however, are deeply rooted in Greene County, Pennsylvania and Hampshire County, Virginia, now comprising part of West Virginia. The Enochs were veritable frontiersmen of the "Buckskin" era with quite a number being killed or scalped by Indians. The Enochs were of German extraction, nearly all of the Methodist faith, while politically, Whigs and Republicans. The Enochs were generally men of strong physical development, and individuals who seemingly never backed away from a fight as noted by their involvement in the Indian wars, Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and the Civil War."
