• (Deceased) Death: 29 April 1858; Death date given by granddaughter in transcription of Hunt Cemetery. The bible record date would be preferred, but is incorrect anyway, since Enos was in the 1860 census of Orange Co., IN.^1,5,3
• (Deceased) Death*: 20 April 1867; Greenfield Twp., Orange Co., Indiana, USA^6,3
• (Witness) Burial*: 23 April 1867; Hunt Cemetery, Orange Co., Indiana, USA^1,3

• Note: between 1837 and 1840; Type: Location Enos's son, Elisha B. was listed as born in NC abt 1837. The next oldest children was born in Tennesse abt. 1840, so Enos and Susanna were married in North Carolina and came to Tennessee between 1837 and 1840.^1,7,3
• (Head of Household) Census: 1840; District 17, Maury Co., Tennessee, USA^1,3
• Note: 1849; Type: Location Enos B. Wells performed marriages in Lewis Co. Tennessee in 1848 and 1849. He is not listed as performing any marriages after January of 1949, so it is probable that he and Susanna moved to Indiana some time that year.^1,3
• (Head of Household) Census: 1850; Lewis Co., Tennessee, USA; Enos and Susanna were listed in the
  1850 census of Lewis Co. in Tennessee. Lewis Co. was formed in 1843 from Hickman, Maury, Wayne, and Lawrence Counties. Hohenwald is the county seat. Enos' age given in the census as 30.^1,8,3
• Note*: 1856; Orange Co., Indiana, USA; Type: Land Transaction Enos sold part of land in Section 30, Section 19, and Section 20 at various times in 1856.

• (Witness) Burial*: 25 November 1845; Elbridge Cemetery, Elbridge, Obion Co., Tennessee, USA; This information is given on the katbowern web sit, but it is probably in error.
