Janni: Can you tell me more about your Davidson connection? I only know about
Daniel and can't get back any further than that.George Davidson is in Jessamine
county and died there but the children all came to Carlisle,Indiana. I know all
about the Enochs family. They go back to Rowan Co., N.C. When Thomas Enochs
and Nancy Bryan were married they came to Oldham county, Ky. The will is on
file and a settlement of the estate is also there. Thomas died and Nancy went to
Monroe County Missouri with her son and other friends and relatives. Do you
live in Sullivan County? I have the county history and I can do a look up if
needed. There was a man named Hosea Hill who lived at Carlisle and had a cream
station about 45 years ago. And I think there was a Revolutionary War soldier by
the name of Hill from Carlisle. Lets keep in touch. Mary Pielemeier
