Ryan, You have a great chronology of Enoch. I can even see where it could be possible that Enoch could be the father of my George W. Nevels (b. 1814). I saw a reference to George being from Russell (Co.?)which is next to Adair Co. I have never seen anything to indicate that George W. went to Ill. If so, he must have returned to Wayne Co. to marry Abbie Tucker (dau. of Moses) in 1834. That would still fit. Hmmm... Oh yes, Sinking Creek is the area where George W. lived in Wayne Co. Perhaps near the town of Delta. Thanks. Bill >From: "Ryan D.
