Brothers Henry Enoch and Enoch Enoch came to Virginia before 1750, settling on the sparsely populated frontier west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Their Virginia years were defined by the French and Indian War (1755-1763) and their close association with young George Washington. By 1757, their children had begun to explore more westerly lands, where they ultimately resettled with their families in what is now Washington County, Pennsylvania. Henry Jr., David, and Enoch Enoch were among the first "over the mountain men," settling west of the Allegheny Mountains by 1767. Their Pennsylvania years were defined by the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) and the Indian Wars (1786-1795). By the turn of the century, the Enochs began looking west again, this time to the more promising lands of Ohio.

Henry Enoch was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and migrated to the Virginia frontier, where he settled on land surveyed by George Washington at the Forks of Cacapon. Three of Henry's sons-Henry Jr., David and Enoch Enoch-crossed the Alleghenies to settle in the Ten Mile Country of southwest Pennsylvania in the 1760s. In 1798 David removed to Ohio, where he and his sons John and Abner settled in Butler County. John later moved to Logan County, where he established the town of West Liberty. John Jr. became one of the pioneers of Champaign County. This work provides a record of David, his sons John and Abner and grandson John Jr. in Ohio and ends in 1953 with the death of John Jr.'s granddaughter, Annetta Enoch Johnson. The entries in this work are taken from official documents, newspapers articles, or published histories.
