run by ox power, which he turned into a saw mill, supplying the people of
Palestine with building lumber; he was of German descent, his memory is
cherished by all pioneers. Enoch Wesner was educated in this county, where he
was married to Louisa Allison, born July 1, 1828, in this county; she is a
daughter of Samuel H. and Polly (Highsmith) Allison, who came from Kentucky.

Douglas, Charles A., Mary A., deceased, William F., Nannie C., Charles M. and
