Contrary to what you will hear, Enoch Fairchild was the son of Abiud Fairchild's daughter Mary and a man named Duggard. When Duggard abandoned Mary, Abiud took Enoch and his sister Celia to raise as his own. Abiud's wife Rachel Jackson died in 1801 after giving birth to their son Asa J. The earliest. Enoch was born in 1805. Some try to explain this away by saying Enoch remarried and that Enoch and Celia are the children of a mystery second wife but no evidence of this wife has been produced in either Wilkes Co., NC or in Kentucky. Enoch was the great grandfather of my grandmother Alma Fairchild. The name Duggard was always synonynous with the devil in her family.
