Seeking identity of Josiah ENSOR who, as Josiah ENSEN, was given permission to pass through the Cherokee Country between Southwest Point, TN and South Carolina " ... at a place called Richards Station ... 18 August 1803." On the same date, permission was given also to Joseph WALDRAN and Reuben BOWER (information courtesy of a website titled, in caps, Settlers and Intruders on Cherokee Indian Lands 1801-1816, abstracted from Records of the Cherokee Agency in TN, transcribed by Janelle Swearingen). Perhaps ENSOR was travelling with the other men. Could Josiah have been a son of John Sommers ENZOR (b. 1756)? In the 1790 census of Sampson Co., NC, there was one male under 16 in J.S. ENZOR's household, indicating he was born about 1775-1790. The 1784 tax list indicates that J.S. had no sons born by 1768. J.S. named a son Josiah Nash ENZOR (b. 1809), perhaps in memory of a theoretical, first born son Josiah who might have died about 1803-1809. Another possibility is that Josiah of 1803 was a son of J.S.'s brother Ambrose ENZOR (born c. 1750), who was in Barnewell District, SC, in 1810. Also enumerated in that same district that year was Ann INSOR. I don't have the composition of her household, but wonder if she might have been a widow with children. Perhaps she was a widow of Josiah ENSOR of 1803?
