Since this David appears to be the son of Benjamin & Susannah Clark I'll
put the article on the List so you can all have the data.

History of Cass County, Indiana, by Thomas B. Helm, 1886, pub. by Brant
& Fuller, Chicago, Pg.930.

"DAVID B. ENYART, one of the substantial and influential citizens of
Tipton Township, is a native of Warren County, Ohio, and was born
October 5, 1837. He was the youngest son born to Benjamin and Margaret
(Crist) Enyart, the former a native of New Jersey, and the latter a
native of Maryland of English and German descent, respectively. The
boyhood and youth of our subject were spent upon his father's farm in
his native county, during which time he was permitted to attend the
district schools about three months in the year, in which he received a
good common school education. In 1862 he immigrated to this county and
located upon a farm in Tipton township. Four years later he removed to a
farm in Section 13, same township. Here he farmed for five years, when
he engaged in saw-milling. This received his attention until 1875, when
he removed to another farm in the same section, where he again took up
agricultural pursuits. In March, 1880, he located upon the farm where he
now resides, in Section 18, Tipton Township. Mary M. Blin, a native of
Warren County, Ohio, born, of German descent, December 20, 1839, became
his wife December 31, 1861. She was the daughter of George and Susan
(Kesling) Blin, formerly of Warren county, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Enyart
have had five children, all of whom are living. Their names are Anna B.,
born April 8, 1863; Charles F., born February 9, 1865; George D., born
April 2, 1866; William C., born July 13 1870 (sic) and John M., born
June 28 1870(sic). Mr. and Mrs. Enyart belong to the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Two of their children, Anna B. and Charles F. also belong to the
Methodist Episcopal Church. George D. Enyart is a member of the United
Brethren Church. In politics Mr. Enyart is a stanch Democrat. He takes
quite an active part in politics, and uses all honorable means to
promote the interests of his party. In 1867 he was elected to the office
of township trustee and served one term. He owns two good farms in
Tipton Townships, one of 150 acres and the other of 180 acres. The
greater portion of his land is in a high state of cultivation. Mr.
Enyart is an energetic and successful farmer and an influential citizen.
In connection with his farm interests Mr. Enyart has given quite a good
deal of attention to the raising of fine stock, and has attained
considerable reputation through the county for his excellent stock of
Poland China hogs."
