John Enoch (1774-1831) is credited as the founder of West Liberty in Logan County, Ohio. He was born in Redstone Old Fort, Pennsylvania, in 1774 and came to Ohio with his parents, David and Nancy Enoch, in about 1802. John moved to Champaign County and settled on the Mad River. The area later became Logan County. It was here that John built his mill and started the town.
This work is a brief history of the gristmill John Enoch built in West Liberty. The information was gleaned from various published articles and books, as well as unpublished Enoch family papers.
