The land was located about a mile and a half northwest of the town called Green Top. Reference Book 4, page 67. Charles sent the copy of the complete deed to Cova Jean Williams for her files.

Enoch Cox McClanahan was born in Tennessee on April 18, 1818, to William and Sarah Cox McClanahan. The family moved to Missouri where, on August 4, 1838, Enoch married Andromache "America" Mills. Together they had ten children. They were married 25 years before America died in 1863. Enoch then married Mary Melinda Logsdon on November 20, 1864. Enoch died March 9, 1877. He is buried in Montgomery Cemetery. His stone is one of a very few that was able to be found in the cemetery. It was the more legible of the stones. He is buried next to his granddaughter, Loue. Census records list Enoch as a farmer. Cemetery records and his tombstone list him as a doctor. Taken from A Journey Through Time with the Taylor Family of Missouri by Emma Sue Davenport.

The source for this event location is unknown. If this is correct then William McClanahan (b 1783), listed both in the 1830 and 1832 census indexes of that county, was almost certainly his father. TN/1830/William McClanahan/Jefferson Co./Microfilm No.180 page No. 91 TN/1832/William McClanahan/Jefferson Co. William was the only McClanahan listed in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. Unfortunately he was not listed (1996) in the Index to the 1820 census where he would have been expected.
