    Notes 
    • Charles Strong found the family listed on the 1850 Schuyler County, Missouri census listing while on a research trip in Schulyer County, Missouri in November, 2002. He also located a deed titled Elias and Adeline Brown to Enoch C. McClanahan filed for record on July 28, 1855, made and entered into on the third day of June 1854 in the State of Missouri, County of Schulyer for land. 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.

      U S General Land Office Records, 1796-1907 show that Enoch C. McClanahan was issued 40 acres of land on the 5th PM(eridan) in Schuyler County, MO, Twp 64-N, Range 15-W, Section 9, Accession #M04940___.291, Metes and Bounds No, Land Office Milan, Authority April 24, 1820, Sale-Cash Entry (3 Stat.566), Document Number 4240

      The brief biography, copied below, was found on his FindAGrave memorial page, created by Larry Boyd and maintained by Emma Sue.

      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.

      Research Notes prepared by Ken Harvey below:

      5 legal sized papers I not sure just what they are. Enoch C. MCCL Deed to William M Gates Plat of Township of Schuyler Co. MO Greeting from the Sheriff of Schuyler Co. Mo. His signature as a Justice of the Peace 1 page from "Histories of . . Dallas . . . . . . .MO" 3 pages Masonic Records 1868 Has been appointed guardian of his children.

      It is understood that Enoch Cox McClanahan was born in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. 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.
