  • Notes 
    • History of Montgomery Co., TN, pg. 173:
      Clinard Cemetery, Ft. Campbell, KY
      Edward-Darnell-Smith-Butts:
      Enoch (b. Oct 21, 1790, d. Nov 20, 1872) and Eunice Darnell Edwards (b. 1796 and d. Jan or Jun 7, 1865) lived in district 4, Montgomery Co., TN. Enoch born in NC is listed in the Rutherford Co. census of 1810. Moving to Tennessee around 1815, he lived near Big Meadow where he was a farmer and a cabinet maker. Enoch's great granddaughter's, Grace and Myrtle Shelby told that Enoch was the son of a wealthy planter who demanded more work than Enoch wanted to do. Once his father gave him corn to plant and Enoch planted it all in one hill. This was discovered making his father angry. Enoch left home returning only when his mother placed a lantern in a window to signal that his father was absent. Enoch and Eunice are buried in the old Edwards Cemetery listed as the Bailey Darnell Cemetery in Ft. Campbell. Their children built wooden houses to mark the graves, but they have long sense rotted....
      Enoch was in Montgomery Co., TN before 1820 as he is listed in the 1820 Montgomery Co. census. His family tradition says that he and his father, believed also to be, named Enoch, had a dispute over corn planting and Enoch left home. He was married circa 1815 - 1820.
