Enoch Berry [Parents] was born in 1756 in Nelson Co, KY. He died in 1821 in Butler Co, KY. He married Margaret McMahan in 1780 in Logan Co, KY.

Residences & events:

1786 Nelson Co, KY. The first time he showed up on tax records his residence was in the tax district of "from where the county road crosses Salt River on the north side of the road including all waters of Coxes Creek." Nearby were in-laws, James and John McMahan.

1787 Nelson Co, KY. Living within the bounds of "Cap. Cox's Company", he and brothers, William and John were listed in tax records that year. In the same area were the "McMachan" families of James and John. Enoch had 1 tithable, specifics unknown.

1788 Nelson Co, KY. Apparently tax lines shifted leaving Enoch the only Berry and no McMahans in the area to be taxed. Enoch's tax was still 1 tithable.

1790 Enoch; brothers, George, and William; and Richard and James "McMachen" now lived within the "Bounds of Capt. McDonals & Capt. McFauls Companies. Enoch's assets had grown to 2 tithables.

1792 At tax time Enoch's family included only 1 male over 21 (himself), he had 100 acres, 5 horses and 18 cattle. George and William lived in the same district as did Enoch's in-laws, Richard and John McMahan.

1793 His estate included 115 acres, 5 horses and 15 cattle. He was still the only male over age 21. George and Williams were still in the area.

1818 White Co, IL. The census taker recorded Enoch there but isolated from other verified family. Son, Enoch Jr, was also there but living among the Shipleys and "Mahan" families.

1820 White Co, IL. He was still there and the family included 2 males over 21 and 8 other whites. He and brother, Joel, who lived 3 doors down, were the only Berrys left but the Ooleys (widowed wife of Enoch Jr) were still in the same county but were not close neighbors.

If he died in KY rather than IL he must have been moved back nearer family who could take care of him in his last days.
