ENOCH SIKES (1794-1844) was a son of Joshua Sikes, Jr. (1760-1856) and Morning Brown. He was born in Sampson County, North Carolina, on February 5, 1794. At the approximate age of fifteen, he and his parents, along with Joshua Sikes Jr.'s older brother, Cornelius Sikes (ca.1755-1818), moved to that part of Anson County that in 1842 became Union County. Enoch soon married Hannah Cuthbertson (1798-1853). They had seven known children and lived on a large farm in the vicinity of the present town of Wingate.
Enoch Sikes died in Union County on September 3, 1844, and Hannah on October 1, 1853. They are buried in the old Sikes Cemetery there, located on present-day Summerlin Dairy Road, within the Jesse Helms Park.
Enoch Sikes was a member and lay leader in Meadow Branch Baptist Church, founded in 1810. Its name was changed to Wingate Baptist Church in 1931.
It is likely that Enoch's parents, Joshua Sikes, Jr. and Morning Brown, are also buried in the old Sikes Cemetery, but no stones for them remain standing, if there ever were any. Joshua Sikes, Jr. was a son of Joshua Sikes, Sr., who was born in Isle of Wight, Virginia, ca. 1718 and died in Sampson County, North Carolina December 30, 1803, where he and Mourning are buried on their nearly 1,000-acre farm property, a few miles east of Clinton, in a field about a quarter mile north of the highway that runs between Clinton and Turkey. Joshua Sikes, Sr. and his son Cornelius were soldier in the American Revolution and Joshua, Sr. was among the soldiers who fought at Moore's Creek Bridge.
