Notes
a. Note:   According to the 1830 Census of Smith County, TN there is a John Enoch who was 50 or 60 years old. In 1830 he had 2 girls and 2 boys. His wife was a similar age. Any connection? There was also a Simeon Enoch who was 30-40 years old.
  Pedigree #1492 Vol. 2 says she was killed by a vicious ram. Obituaries From Carthage Newspapers (Smith County History, page 100) "DENNEY, widow of Willey age 86 died when she got down in a field that had a dangerous sheep in it. Was found in a dying condition near New Middleton; Smith County Record 5 May 1887."
  Stephen Lee Denney of Cookville:
 Here are a couple of clippings from the Smith County Record that I feel will be of interest to you, especially the article about Clary Denney. The telephone line from New Middleton to Carthage had only been connected for a few weeks.
  May 5, 1887: News by Telephone. New Middleton-An old lady, the widow of Wiley Denney, 86 years old, living at the old Wiley Denney residence, had been visiting a neighbor yesterday, and on her return, undertook to go through the lot where a number of sheep were, one of them being a fighting one. The supposition is that she was exhausted, and either fell or sat down, and was attacked by the sheep, as she was found in a dying condition, with her head bloody, and skull probably broken and blood also on the sheep. The jury of inquest will be held today. Smith County Record.
