Another pioneer on Left Fork of Sandy was Isaac Cheuvront, who came to Jackson County in 1831. He lived at a little village long known as Buttermilk Station, a name bestowed on it when it was a logging camp and sawmill site, about 1870. When the timber had "fled the country",
and an oak or poplar tree had become a curiosity, the name remained , and the name of "Buttermilk" is even now far better known than the more dignified one of Lockhart.
Isaac Cheuvront was born August 24th, 1802, and died March 22nd, 1896, aged ninety three years.

William DOTSON [Parents] was born 1776 in Hampshire Co., VA. He died 1865 in Dodgridge Co., WV. William married Mary Ann FRANKS.
William Dotson was born about 1776 probably on the Big Whitely River in what is now Greene County, Pennsylvania while his father, Richard Dotson, was serving as an Indian spy. At that time Greene County was considered to be part of Virginia.
After the war was over, William went with his father back to Shenandoah Co, VA for a few years. He would have lived in Loudoun County and then moved to Hampshire County with his father around 1794. William married Mary Ann Franks about 1796 probably in Hampshire Co, VA. In 1804 William and Mary and two children apparently came with William's father, Richard, to settle in what was then part of Wood County and what is now Greenwood, Doddridge County, West Virginia.
Once settled and a landowner, William and his wife Mary Ann continued to farm and raise a large family. Other than land transactions we don’t have much information about their lives. He was a farmer and could not read and write, but he was considered to be an honorable person. On September 5, 1854 William and Mary Dotson made their marks on an affidavit. At the time William said he was aged 79 years and Mary was age 74 years. The justice of the peace said he personally knew both William and Mary Dotson and that "they are creditable persons and their statements are entitled to credit." William died January 08, 1865. Doddridge County death records show his birthplace as Hampshire County, Virginia & his parents as Richard and Mary Dotson. His son, William Dotson, gave the information.

Benjamin SAYRE [Parents] was born 1774 in NJ. He died 1829 in Tyler Co., VA. Benjamin married Nancy Ann TUCKER on 1795 in Monongalia Co., VA.
Benjamin Sayre drowned while working on a water-wheel mill, when the wheel dragged him under water. This occurred some time before 10 June 1829. I believe he was on the Middle Island Creek somewhere near where Nutter Fork intersects, which is now in Doddridge County. Has anyone seen a tombstone with his name engraved? Although I have made several research trips into Doddridge and Tyler counties, I have never found his burial place. I would appreciate knowing where he and his wife were buried.

SAYRE FAMILY
From the best information obtainable, the first settlers at Sandyville were two brothers, Daniel and Benjamin Sayre, who came about the year 1820.
Daniel Sayre was once a wealthy man, and owned a large tract of land at Sandyville. He came from the vicinity of Letarts Falls, and from the Ohio side of the river. He came from the vicinity of Letarts Falls, and from the Ohio side of the river. He was some degree of cousin to the Mill Creek Sayres. There is an Alfred Sayre buried at Sandyville in 1867, aged eighty one, which would make his birth year 1787. This may have been Daniel Sayres father.
The name is sometimes given as Daniel W. Sayre, but if that is
correct, he must have added the middle letter himself, for he was born long before Daniel Webster was known to history.
Daniel Sayre married Hepzibah Chapman, daughter of Ezra Chapman (in Ohio, I presume). Their children were:
Squire Sayre married Jane ( E.J.) Seckman. He was born in 1823 and
died in 1900.
Alfred Sayre married Hannah Elizabeth Seckman, who died in 1852. They lived, I think, on the Ripley pike, below Sandyville.
Seth Sayre never married.
Ezra Sayre never married.
"Rusha Sayre married David Custer.
Fisher Sayre married a Warren, a sister of Rev. Dan Warren.
Charlie Sayre married a Phelps.
Lucy Ann Sayre married Frank Fabry.
After the death of his wife, which occurred in 1861, Daniel Sayre
married the widow Blosser, at Reedy. She died in 1907. He was in the sawmill business with Ezekiel Vernon when I first saw him, in 1872.
The first death at Sandyville, it is said, was Sammy, a son of Daniel Sayre, who was buried in a plum thicket, opposite the old Jim Weas house.
Frank Fabry, the Sandyville blacksmith, lives in the old Sayre house, which was, he says, built in 1841. It is either a frame or a hewed log house weatherboarded, but never painted. It is two stories high. It stands on the east side of the creek, in the bottom, and some distance from the bridge.
Ben Sayre first settled the old Johnson place, above Sandyville. He married Edie Stanley (Mrs. Magee thought it was), and was living there in 1835.
Jacob Sayre, a third brother, lived a while at Sandyville, going from there to Trace Fork. Either his or Bens families nearly all died with Sandy Fever, someone told me.

"The Tenmile Country" pg 53
Born 1752. He patented land under the title "Essex". Got the house and mill on Henry Enoch's plantation. Served in the Washington Co Militia. He sold land in 1798, and in 1808 was sold out by the sheriff of Greene County.
pg. 55
When Henry Enoch II died, his sons, William and Isaac, were already in financial difficulties. Isaac Enoch had been deeded the home property for promising to take care of his parents during the remainder of their lives. But in 1799, owing money to Robert Clarke and Ezekiel Hoover, he found he was unable to pay. In April session of Court the sheriff of Greene County took over and proceeded to sell the assets available. These included the grist mill of his father, and the Iron Works Henry Enoch II had operated, as well as the land on which they stood, including the tracts of both Isaac and William Enoch. The records of this sale were not entered in the Greene County Courtrs until late yars, and are to be found in Deed Book 344, pp 359. The buyer at the sheriff's sale was Samuel Clarke."After his father died, Isaac came to Wood Co, VA with his brother-in-law, Thomas Pribble, and settled near the present village of Newark, Wirt Co, WV. He established a saw and grist mill and was prominent in the industrial life of the county. He dealt in land. Isaac had five daughters and three sons, most of whom married and lived in the Wood or Wirt County area of WV" (From E-mail "Sharon", descendant of Thomas Pribble)
1812 (Sims Land Grants) shows Isaac Enoch 150 acres on Reedy Creek in Wood County.
From Hardesty's History of Wirt County:
NEWARK DISTRICT
This district is bounded east by Clay, south by Elizabeth, west by Tucker, and north and northwest by Wood county. The Little Kanawha river flows centrally through the district. Standing Stone creek enters from the east and discharges its waters into the Kanawha a short distance above the town of Newark.The first cabin was built by Hyatt Leisure on the right bank of the Little Kanawha river, just below the present site of the town of Newark, in the year 1803. Thomas Prebble, Isaac Enoch, Jacob Deem, Richard Lee, and William Dent came and found homes the same year.
TUCKER DISTRICT
The first settler in this district was a man of the name of Graham, who located upon the waters of Standing Stone about the year 1800, and two years after his settlement his two brothers located on the dividing ridge between Standing Stone and Deevers Creek. Soon after, Elijah Rockhold and William Boheer found homes in the valley of the Standing Stone. Boheer lived for several years in a cave. A Mr. Shaw came from Ohio and settled here in 1812, at which time he found, in addition to those already named, Adam Deem, Peter Steed and Isaac Enochs, the latter of whom died in 1858, aged seventy-seven years. In 1830, Thomson Cohen, whose grandfather came from England with William Penn, settled on Parish Fork creek.

Lt. Col. Henry ENOCH was born 1735. He died 1797 in PWaynesburg, A. Henry married Elizabeth TEGARD.
The first record of our line of Enochs in America is from the journal of George Washington who made land surveys in Hampshire County, West Virginia. On April 23, 1750, according to his journal, he surveyed land for Henry Enoch in the forks of the Cacapon River. On April 25, 1750, he surveyed another tract about a mile above the same forks, beginning at Henry Enoch's Corner. The following day Washington surveyed a tract of 200 acres on the South branch of Little Cacapon with Henry Enoch, probably Junior, as chainman.
In 1756 a line of forts was proposed to start at Henry Enoch's place on the Great Cacapon in Hampshire Co, Virginia. George Washington provisioned and garrisoned at the Fort.

Source:Renick
Lieutenant Colonel Henry Enoch, Jr. was the son of Henry Enoch. Henry Enoch, Jr. had plenty of glowing accounts of "the land over the mountains," related to him by visitors to his father's home in Hampshire County, Virginia. Men like George Washington, Christopher Gist, and Thomas Cresap made the home of Henry Enoch I a stopping place and commented about it in their records.
Henry Enoch’s sons had been to Pennsylvania before 1757 and Enoch’s Run is in some deeds and early maps. "Enoch's Run" was later known as Swan's Run and now Pumpkin Run. It empties into the Monongahela at Rice’s Landing.
In 1765, Henry Enoch, Jr. still owned 308 acres on Little Cacapon in Hampshire County Virginia, but shortly after that he owned land in Pennsylvania. The Henry Enoch Jr. family was among the first of those to settle on the west side of the Monongahela River in the Tenmile Creek country of Pennsylvania. Henry Enoch Jr. was living in Washington County and Greene County, Pennsylvania by 1772, and is showing in the Springhill Township Tax lists.
His fort was two miles below where he lived on Ten Mile Creek at the forks, and two miles above its mouth. The fort was in the center of the settlement. Richard Jackson's fort, nine miles above on Ten Mile, was on the frontier, and men from the region of Enoch's fort had to go to defend Jackson's Fort. On May 16, 1775, he was chosen to serve on the Committee of Observation for that part of Augusta County that lies on the west side of Laurel Hill at Pittsburgh
In 1776, Captain Henry Enoch Jr. was with General Gaddir's command of Virginia troops in a three-month expedition against the Indians west of the Ohio River. In a letter dated Oct 16, 1776, from General Dorsey Pentacost to General Harold, Captain Henry Enoch Jr. is creditably mentioned. In 1778 Captain Henry Enoch Jr. joined General Sheppard's command of Virginia militia in defense of western Pennsylvania against the Indians serving at Fort Jackson in Greene County, Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War, he was advanced from captain of the militia to lieutenant colonel of the Washington County, Pennsylvania 1st Battalion, under Major Carmichal. Henry Enoch, Jr. also served as captain of the Monongalia Militia.
In 1783, Henry Enoch, Jr. became owner of land in what is now Wirt County Virginia by paying the state of Virginia back taxes of10 pounds sterling and 16 shillings. This land, lying between the Little Kanawha and the Hughes Rivers was located in what is now Newark, Newark District, Wirt County, West Virginia. Later, his descendants settled in this area.
Henry Enoch, Jr. lived in Pennsylvania until his death. His home in Pennsylvania was located on the county lines of Washington and Greene Counties, so the estate was settled in both counties.
