• Notes

  ENOCH 4 FENTON (ENOCH JR.3, ENOCH SR.2, ELEAZER1) was born Abt. 1760 in FREDERICK CO., VIRGINIA, and died July 26, 1839 in STAUNTON, AUGUSTA CO., VIRGINIA. He married SARAH Abt. 1780 in VIRGINIA. She was born Abt. 1762, and died Bet. 1829 - 1839 in STAUNTON, AUGUSTA CO., VIRGINIA. Notes for ENOCH (III) FENTON: 1787 First US Census Augusta Co., Virginia No tithables or blacks, 3 Fackler vs. Fenton A lawsuit was filed by Michael and Franklin Fackler against their grandfather Enoch Fenton III, in Augusta Co. VA Superior Court. (document A) Franklin dropped out of the suit but Michael pursued it and finally won. There are a number of handwritten documents, and they will be summarized. These are designated A through Q and there is no K. These documents give some insight to the time when our great great grandfather and his brother were young men in Virginia, and their relationship with their mother's (Elizabeth Fenton) family. After serving their apprenticeship in the blacksmith trade, they lived with their grandfather Enoch Fenton III, and worked in his blacksmith shop located on his farm. He promised to sell them a lot in Staunton which had a house and blacksmith shop on it. The family home of Enoch Fenton was in Frederick Co. near Winchester, VA. and his brother Benjamin Fenton lived there and it is mentioned in Document I by Rebecca Jones, and also in John Fenton's letter. Enoch (III) Fenton's farm was probably near Staunton, and possibly at Mt. Sidney which is near Staunton and is mentioned in Document G. Document A (3 pages) Bill of Complaint, NS 196 Fackler vs. Fenton (see Document B and C for date) Michael Fackler asserts that: "a certain Enoch Fenton, being then in debt to your orator (Michael) and his brother Franklin Fackler executed to them his obligation to convey to them a house and lot in Staunton as soon as they would pay him four hundred dollars which was agreed upon as the price of said house and lot." Michael goes on to say that an agreement was written and signed (The agreement is document N), and tells what happened to it. Michael says that he paid the balance due, and he received an executed agreement and deed for the house and lot. Michael and Franklin deposited the agreement and signed deed with their mother Elizabeth Fenton Fackler for safe keeping, until they could bring it to Staunton and have it recorded. (No mention of their father, Samuel P. Fackler) Enoch Fenton went to Elizabeth, his daughter, and told her he was going to Staunton and would record the deed, so she gave it to him, believing it would be recorded for her two sons. When Enoch Fenton got to Staunton, he destroyed the deed made out to the Fackler boys and recorded a deed made out to his son in law Philip Eckle (husband of Polly Fenton) and his son Nathan Fenton. Frank Fackler had only paid a small amount, so Michael had bought him out and Frank gave his interest to Michael, but this agreement was not in writing. Michael ask the court that Enoch Fenton, Philip Eckle, Nathan Fenton and Franklin Fackler become defendants. I do not know why Frank is included, but perhaps it was necessary to remove his interest from the original agreement. There is no indication that Michael and Franklin had a disagreement. Document B (3 pages) Answer to the Complaint by Enoch Fenton III, 28 Oct 1833. Enoch Fenton stated that in April 1929 (Michael about 24, and Frank about 22) he needed money and he did agree to sell Michael and Frank the lot for four hundred dollars. Enoch said that the four hundred dollars was not paid but a title bond was given and held by Benjamin Morris, but not recorded. After 12 months, Morris informed Fenton that the bond had lapsed and was no longer an obligation. Another agreement, similar to the first was written and not recorded. Fenton further states that because the Fackler men could not pay for the deed, it was given to Enoch to cancel. He says he leased the property to Franklin Fackler for a period of one year. Enoch has a few choice words for his grandson Michael. "..after the lease started he set up a claim to the property under the contract which had been canceled, and to trump up a number of stale and unfounded claims against (Enoch) ... to show that he had paid for the property. Your respondent (Enoch) will not stoop to remark on the character of a grandson who could be so void of every thing like filial duty as to endeavor to brand the author of his mother's being with the imputations of fraud and falsehood so gross, he would rather hope that reflection will bring amendment and instead of throwing this imputation back upon him in the spirit of recrimination, his prayer is "Father forgive him, for hr knows not what he does." Fenton says that when Michael first came out of his apprenticeship he came to his grandfather and ask for a job. Fenton hired him to work one month in his shop. (the blacksmith shop on his farm). Enoch Fenton denies that he ever was a partner with Michael and he states that his son Nathan and Michael were partners in the blacksmith business. Enoch furnished coal for their business. It appears that Nathan and Michael and maybe Franklin rented shop space from Enoch and bought coal from him. Document C (2 pages) Michael answers Fenton's statement in B Michael says that on 1 April 1829, Enoch sold a lot with a house and blacksmith shop in Staunton to Michael and Franklin Fackler for $ 400. The lot was next to the lot owned by Jacob Peck. (husband of Catherine Fackler, aunt and uncle of the boys) Michael said that he had "done a great deal of work for said Fenton as a blacksmith, and on said Fenton's farm, for which he had not been paid and it was understood was to be credited against the lot." He says Fenton was indebted to Michael for two years and two months wages, at the price of 8 dollars a month, which with interest would be over $ 200. Michael further states that he paid Fenton additional money toward the lot and that Fenton "was always in needy circumstances". Michael says he was in partnership with Fenton (Enoch) in the blacksmith business and that Fenton "collected and applied to his own purposes nearly all the proceeds of the shop" Michael claims he had more than paid for the $ 400 to his grandfather. He says Franklin also made some payments to his grandfather. Michael submitted records of his payments made by working for Fenton, but Franklin did not keep records as he thought he could trust his grandfather. Michael alleges that his grandfather defrauded him and that Nathan Fenton and Philip Eckle knew of this fraud, and were a part of it by accepting the deed for the lot, house and blacksmith shop, which rightfully belonged to Michael. He asked the court to award him the property. Document D (3 pages) Answer by Philip Eckle and Nathan Fenton. Eckle and Nathan Fenton agree that they received the deed but deny it was received because of a fraudulent agreement. Eckle said that the deed was in payment of money owed him by Enoch Fenton. He said he now disclaims all title to the lot, as he has received other payment. Nathan said the same, that he now disclaims all title to the lot. Document E (5 pages) Depositions 18 June 1836 1. Robert Snapps, witness for Michael Fackler: He owed Michael $30 and Michael had him pay it to Enoch. He said he knew that Michael and Franklin worked in Fenton's shop and used his tools. He did not know if Michael and Franklin boarded with Enoch but thought they did. 2. Washington Grymes, witness for Michael Fackler: Same question and answer as for Snapps. 3. Robert Reed, witness for Michael Fackler: Same question and answer as for Snapps. 4. Maddison Page, witness for Enoch Fenton: He was raised by Enoch and may have been an indentured servant. He said that Michael boarded at Fenton's house since coming their in 1832, but he did not know if he paid for it. He knew that Enoch furnished coal for the shop. Michael Fackler went to Staunton in September of 1832, to work there. There was a question of Franklin removing some tools from the shop, but ownership was not determined. 5. Elizabeth Fenton, witness for Michael Fackler: She was present when Washington Grymes gave Michael $23.50 and Michael handed it to Enoch. There were similar questions and answer concerning Snapps and Reed with the same answers. 6. Mary (Polly) Eckle (daughter of Enoch) witness for Fenton: She testified that Philip Eckle and her late husband were with Michael at her house in Staunton, and her husband gave Michael money and Michael gave her $ 145 for her father Enoch and she gave it to him when she saw him. She knew that Michael boarded at Enoch's house but did not know the arrangement. She did not know if Michael and Enoch were partners, but she heard that Nathan Fenton and Michael were partners. Document F (4 pages) Depositions 12 June 1835 1. James Conner, Robert Reed, William R. Blair and Robert Snapp: They all knew that Michael worked in Enoch's shop and they had each paid him money for work done but they did not know of a partnership arrangement. 2. Juliet Whisman (daughter of Enoch) 15 June 1835 She remembers a conversation between Michael Fackler, Frank Fackler and her father concerning the boys coming to town to work: "Michael said to Franklin if he wanted to buy the lot he was not able to do so (and) that he Michael would have nothing to do with working in partnership with him if he intended holding it. Franklin said he had given up the lot and would have nothing to do with it for he was not able. Michael then agreed to work in partnership with Franklin, and they rented the workshop (in Staunton) from my father." She said that Michael boarded with Enoch for 4 years and Franklin for 2 and 1/2 years. Document G (1 page) Deposition of James Conner 7 October 1836. He was questioned concerning the lot in Staunton. He stated that he heard Franklin Fackler say in Mount Sidney that he had given up the property in Staunton and if he continued there "the old man" would break him up sometime or other." He said he paid nothing toward it. Document H (3 pages) Depositions. William Gamble. William Jones, Thoophelus Gamble, Robert Snapp, 31 May 1834: These were all questioned about dealings with Michael at the Fenton shop. They paid Michael for the work but knew little more. Document I (6 pages) Depositions taken at Middletown, Guernsey County, Ohio, 2 May 1834. Note that John Fenton, Rebecca Fenton Jones and Enoch Fenton IV, had relocated to Ohio. 1. John Fenton, upward to 30 years old: He stated that from November 1827, through the balance of the year Michael Fackler was not in the employ of Enoch Fenton. In early 1828, Michael went to school until March 1828, during which time he boarded with Enoch Fenton. After leaving school he entered a partnership with Daniel Whisman (son in law of Enoch) on Mowerys place in the blacksmith business. In June 1828, the partnership broke up, Whisman leaving, Michael staying. Michael Fackler took Enoch Fenton as a partner in the blacksmith trade and he boarded with Enoch. When the partnership dissolved, Michael bought the tools and set up shop in Enoch's shop. Michael left the county 5 Feb. 1829. In January 1828, John Fenton and Franklin Fackler formed a partnership until January 1829, and they boarded with Enoch Fenton. 2. Enoch Fenton IV, upward to 30 years old: He stated that in 1827, Michael Fackler stayed with his father for 2 or 3 weeks. Enoch hired him for one month at $8 per month, paid $5 in cash and the balance in clothing. After that he did not hire him but he rented him the tools and gave him Maddison Page to blow and strike for him. In 18 March 1828, Michael and Daniel Whisman formed a partnership. In 1829, Michael formed a partnership with Nathan Fenton until about 1832. There was a dispute with Nathan claiming that Michael was not disposed to deal fair, he took the money and concealed the books. In the Spring of 1830, a contract was made between Enoch Fenton and Michael and Franklin Fackler concerning the lot in Staunton. The Fackler men would get the lot when they paid the $ 400. They failed to pay and the title bond expired so the deal was off. 3. Rebecca Jones: Enoch Fenton hired Michael Fackler one month and paid him in cash and clothing. Enoch said he would not hire him "no more" because he used Ardent Spirits and he worked the shop for his own benefit. When Michael came to his grandfather he was destitute and in December 1827, he went to Winchester to hunt work. 4. Enos Jones: Same as his wife. Document J (3 pages) NS 196 Deposition of Elizabeth Fenton Fackler 1 Nov. 1835 Fenton's attorney ask, when did John Fenton, son of Enoch Fenton leave this county for the west? Answer: I think it was January or February of 1829. Question: When did Enos Jones (husband of Rebecca Fenton) leave this county for the west? Answer: November 1827. Question: Have either of then been back since they left? Answer: John Fenton has been here about one time after he went west. Question: When did your son Michael enter into a partnership with your father? Answer: Spring 1829. (Note that Enoch Fenton had said that he was never in partnership with his grandson) Question: Did you receive a letter from your brother John Fenton? Answer: Yes. (copy of the letter included on page: .) Question by Enoch Fenton: Did Franklin Fackler come up to my place to live before of after Enos Jones left? Answer: He came up after Enos Jones moved away. Question: Did not Michael and Franklin Fackler join in partnership to work in my shop before Enos Jones left? Answer: No they did not. Question: Was it not in the year 1828, that Michael Fackler went to school to Rankin Blair? Answer: I do not know. Question: Do you not know that Nathan and Michael went in partnership in 1829? Answer: They did not. Michael and my father were partners. Nathan worked for them as a striker. Question: Did I not board them? Answer: They boarded at your house but it was part of your bargain to do so. Michael was to be furnished with everything except the coal and iron, he was to furnish half and to give my father the other half that was made in the shop. Document K There is no K Document L (4 pages) Depositions, 6 June 1834, with Michael Fackler, Enoch Fenton and Nathan Fenton present. Philander Gamble was a witness to the deed executed by Enoch Fenton to Michael and Franklin Fackler. He did not know of the Fackler boys having paid anything to Enoch Fenton. He said he had work done by Michael and Frank Fackler at Enoch Fenton's shop at Middle River. He did not know if they were partners. William Jones another witness to the deed. The deed was for a lot in Staunton and the date was 1830 or 1831. Document M (1 page) Middletown, Guernsey County, OH. 2 May 1834. Deposition of Enoch Fenton IV (son of defendant Enoch Fenton) This is about a Carryall that was made in 1831. Michael Fackler sold the Carryall to Philip Eckle and Nathan Fenton was to have half the pay. Michael left 5 dollars with Eckles for Nathan. Nathan Fenton and Michael Fackler were partners. Enoch Fenton says that Michael Fackler took some tools that did not belong to him. Document N (2 pages) Memorandum between Enoch Fenton III and Michael Fackler and Franklin Fackler dated 1 April 1830. (This is the agreement) The agreement states for $ 400, Enoch will sell to Michael and Franklin the house and lot belonging to him in Staunton, adjoining the lots of Jacob Peck, including the Blacksmith Shop. Both parties agree and a deed will be recorded when the money is paid. Document O (1 page) Decree dated 1 December 1835. Michael Fackler vs. Enoch Fenton III, Philip Eckles, Nathan Fenton and Franklin Fackler. As Philip Eckle and Nathan Fenton disclaimed any interest in the lot, action against them was dismissed. The Court ruled that the agreement is valid and that the house is awarded to Michael Fackler. The Court said that Samuel Clarke will make an accounting of funds paid to date, and if the $ 400 has not been paid the remaining must be paid before the house belongs to Michael. Note: As Enoch Fenton III, died 26 July 1839, he was alive when the decree was issued so he knew he lost the case. Franklin and Caroline Deary Fackler had left for Illinois in 1835, and Nathan Fenton was probably in Illinois by 1839, or before. Document P (1 page) Decree after accounting was made, November 1839. James Alaxander, Sheriff of Augusta County administrated the estate. The heirs are listed as Enoch Fenton IV, Nathan Fenton, John Fenton, Henry Messersmith and his wife Polly (Fenton), Daniel Wishman and Julia (Fenton) his wife, David Eckle and Sarah (Fenton) his wife. Michael Fackler had more than paid the $400 and the house and lot was awarded to him. Elizabeth Fenton Fackler. Frank's mother was not named as an heir, so she may have been deceased by 1839. Document Q (2 pages) Same as Document O, with the accounting of the amounts paid by Michael Fackler, which exceeded $ 400.

(the last 4 from Guernsey Co. OH) were entered into the court records of the suit Michael Fackler brought against his grandfather Enoch Fenton prior to 1839. The decree in favor of Michael was issued November 1839, and the deed for land was issued July 1844. The letter is helpful in many ways. The original copy was hand written, and someone deciphered it and typed it. It was scanned into digital form, and the results should approximate the original. Given the creative spelling, it would be difficult to detect typos, scanning errors, and the spell checker was of no value at all. We should not be too critical of the spelling or lack of punctuation. In 1829, only a few people could read and write, and John did a good job of expressing himself. This is a newsy letter of his trip (mostly on foot) from Staunton, VA to Guernsey Co. Ohio where his sister Rebecca Fenton Jones and her husband Enos Jones lived. This trip took him north to Winchester, Frederick Co. VA to visit his uncle, and then across the present state of West Virginia, into Ohio. Guernsey Co. is about 50 miles west of Wheeling, WV, and is in the east central part of Ohio. The fact that he visited "unckle Benjmin" in Frederick Co. confirms the information found in the "Hopewell Friends History of Frederick Co. VA" that Benjamin and Enoch were brothers and lived in Frederick Co. The "Genealogical Books in Print, Springfield, VA. Vol.I" page 20. Census of Virginia Frederick Co., 1790, lists Enoch Jr, Enoch III, and John. In the third paragraph of Jones letter, he refers to some of the family in Staunton, and their chances of working in Ohio. Daniel is probably his brother in law, Daniel Whisman who married his sister Juliet Fenton 11 Jan. 1820. Michael is Michael Fackler, son of Elizabeth, as he was a blacksmith, and that trade was not doing well in Ohio at the time. Franklin is Franklin Fackler, the other son of Elizabeth, who married Caroline Deary in 1830. While we learned from family letters that Samuel sent the children to an uncle in Loudoun Co. because of family problem, this letter would lead us to believe that the relationship between Franklin and Michael and their mother and other members of the family was a good one by 1829. John concludes his letter by "giving my love to mother and father and Poly and Philip, Franklin and all the rest of them..." Poly is his sister and Philip her husband Philip Eckle. As Franklin was not yet married, he may have been living with his mother. I don't know why this letter was entered into the law suit. It would give the impression that all was well in the Fenton-Fackler relationship. As Elizabeth provided a deposition when the suit was filed, but is not listed in the deed of 1844, it may be assumed that she died prior to that date. She would have been about 60 years old.
