    • Hardesty's History of Jackson County
      Ripley District

      Benton B. ENOCH, M. D. - a druggist of Ripley and a physician of the allopathic school, has been settled among the people of this district since 1879. He was born in Wirt county, West Virginia, August 5, 1857, a son of John T. Enoch, who still lives in Wirt county, and Mary (Stanley) Enoch, who died in New York. Martin and James Enoch, soldiers from Wirt county in the war of 1861, were uncles of Benton B. Enoch, and his grandfather was a prominent man in public affairs in his day, holding many offices of trust, whose duties he discharged to the interest of the county. Elijah B. and Betsey A. (Dilworth) Wright were the parents of Celestine, who became the wife of Dr. Enoch in Jackson county, on the 14th of August, 1879. The Rev. Mr. Locke, of the Methodist Episcopal Church (South), united them in marriage, and they have one son, Earl, born September 8, 1880. Celestine Wright was born in this county, and her father still makes his home here; her mother is no longer living. Dr. Benton B. Enoch's address is Jackson C. H., Jackson county, West Virginia.
