In August of 1823, Enoch Tinsley purchased several items at the estate sale of Spencer Reeves in Fleming County, Kentucky. While it’s interesting to see what Enoch purchased and it offers some insight into his day-to-day life, there are a few other genealogy clues it gives us:
- Enoch was alive on 11 August 1823.
- Enoch must have lived relatively near Spencer Reeves property (assuming the sale was held there).
- Enoch probably lived near the others listed as purchasing items at the sale.
Just how significant of a genealogical clue those items are depends upon what I know about Enoch.
But as a caveat, if there were more than one Enoch, it may be difficult to tell just from this reference to which Enoch this purchaser list is referring.
