Thank you for your quick response.Know what you mean about not existing.The marriage record of Enoch and Martha are so far the only proof that I have that he really did exist and I got that only last year after 7 years of looking. He was supposedly a rodeo rider and was killed when he was thrown off of a horse...go figure. Some day I will find him ( I hope) Good luck on your trip to Arkansas..I am only about 3 hrs from Arkansas but havent made it there yet.atleast not to Lawrence Co. Again good luck and keep my Enoch in mind. I would be glad to reimburse you for any information you might just happen to stumble across Vicki Halton ----- Original Message ----- From: Elmer T.

Thanks, Vicki, I checked several records. Found 46 Enoch Andersons but no match. It may be difficult to find hard data if he traveled a lot, such as following rodeos. I first thought that Enoch was an Indian name, but, not so. It is Hebrew biblical. In the Bible, Enoch was the father of Methuselah. That suggests UK origin instead of Sweden or Germany. Will keep looking.
