Enoch LEFFEW ^{2 3 4}

   Another name for Enoch was Enoch LEPHEW.

  Birth Notes:

Enoch's range of birth years, as extrapolated from census records, provides another example of why I suspect there were other sons over 16 that were not enumerated in the 1790 census.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Deed: 1805, Rockingham County, North Carolina. ⁶

Deed No. 1064, Dated 26 Oct 1805, Bk M:57
In a joint conveyance to George Carter for $90, Enoch Lephew and Elihu Lephew sold Lots No. 1 and 2, respectively, each a parcel of 40 acres on the waters of the Dan River which had passed to them in 1801 after the death of their father, Stephen Lephew, in accordance with an agreed upon division of his land. Witnesses were Alex Sneed and Adam Thomas.

2. Deed: 1808, Rockingham County, North Carolina. ⁷

Deed No. 1436, Dated 16 Aug 1808, Recorded Feb 1809, Book N:4
Elias Lephew of Franklin County, Virginia sold Lot No. 5 consisting of 40 acres bounded by Josiah Lephew's lot on the west and Uriah Lephew's lot on the east, which descended to him in 1801 in accordance with an agreed upon division of the land of his father, Stephen Lephew, Dec'd, to Enoch Lephew of Rockingham County for $40. Witnessed by John Jones and Philip Maybery.

3. Deed: 1808, Rockingham County, North Carolina. ⁸

Deed No. 1437, Dated 22 Sep 1808, Recorded Feb 1809, Bk N:50
Enoch Lephew of Rockingham County sold 40 acres of the divided land of Stephen Lephew, Dec'd, known as Lot 5, which had originally been drawn by Elias Lephew, to John Pierce of Rockingham County for $20. Witnessed by Alex Sneed and William Jones.

[Query why Enoch would buy this land from Elias in Aug for $40 and sell it in Sep for $20.]
