    3. John POLK arrived in US with his father from Ireland c 1795. He married Agness BROWN, daughter of Elizabeth STRAIN, step daughter of Alexander FARIES, and they had a number of children born in York Co., SC. Their youngest son, William, was my greatgrandfather on my mother's side. The family moved to Obion Co., TN in the late 20's or early 30's (18...). Joel S. ENLOE, son of Benjamin ENLOE of York Co., SC, also moved from York County to Obion Co., TN where he became the Sherriff of Obion Co. His son, Abraham B. Enloe, was my greatgrandfather on my father's side of the family. There was a Harper-Hutchison wagon train that left York Co. in December of 1824 and arrived in Obion County, TN in February of 1825, becoming the founders of the town of Troy, TN. A granddaughter of James Harper, who led the train, was my greatgrandmother, Susan, who married John Polk's son William. All of these people are Scotch Irish and Associate Reformed Presbyterian. I am just learning of the York County, SC, heritage shared by these folk. I have just read through a draft of a Hutchison family collection with a lot of York County connection and am impressed with the kind of information available. If anyone has knowledge of my direct families, it would be my pleasure to share my own collection. I also have a good deal of information about the ARP clergy and congregations if there is interest. I see there is a book by Mendenhall about the Ebenezer Church History. Is that book still available? How does one go about getting it? Also, I want to know about the York Co., Genealogical Society. Thanks, in advance. Dorothy Wakefield Chance [email protected]
