Emma was variably recorded in records as Amy, Amey or Lottie Enochs.
She was born in what used to be Hampshire County VA (now WV's eastern panhandle) and died in Lawrence Township of Washington County, Ohio, where she is buried.
She was the daughter of Capt. Enoch and Rebecca Morris Enochs, who trekked among frontier pioneers from Wheeling Creek (VA/PA/WV) to Duck Creek of southeastern Ohio. Enoch Enochs was the first of his Enochson/Enochs clan to settle in Ohio, after Pennsylvania. His sister Elizabeth also settled in Ohio, with her husband Archibald Morris, brother of Enoch's wife Rebecca. (A third Morris brother, Basil, also joined them in Ohio.). The Morrises and Enoches had large families with spouses from what thus became common Mid-Ohio Valley surnames, especially Archer, Hupp, Grandon, Cree, etc.
Four of Emma Enochs' siblings -- the Rev. Elisha, Rebecca, Phoebe and Rhoda -- married children of Wheeling frontier leader James Archer Sr. The Rev. Elisha Enochs was cited as partially responsible for several formerly Catholic Archers of Wheeling and Duck Creek converting to his Protestant Methodism.
Another of Emma's brothers, Henry, married a fellow Enochson. Children from all of these large families continued to marry the same few common names.
The Grays of Emma's husband were less common in the Mid-Ohio Valley, as those root families had remained back in Pennsylvania. Emma's father-in-law had been killed by Indians there decades before she married.
Emma/Amy married Matthew Gray Jr., who built the first house at Harrietsville, Ohio, and is buried unmarked on a farm in that PawPaw area, according to a fellow researcher who once saw the site, aided by a local farmer who knew it. The exact location of that is not clear now. Matthew Gray Sr. was killed by Indians near today's Waynesburg, PA, which also is where several ancestors of Duck Creek pioneers to Monroe and Noble County by PawPaw, Washington County, had similarly died.
Matthew Jr. and Emma/Amy had at least 11 children, several of whom married:
(Three married children of Philip and Elizabeth Newman Cline of Liberty Twp. Three children moved to Iowa.)
Rebecca m John Rake (Rake Cemetery)
David
William (did NOT marry Sarah Pugh, that is often attributed to this one. Another local William Gray married her. This William was NOT part of Rufus Putnam's unit nor son of a William.)
Elijah m Sarah Cline (poss. buried at PawPaw; wife buried at Pine Ridge, this county)
Elizabeth m John Miller (Lilly Dale Cemetery, Gatchel, Perry Co. IN)
Jesse M. (Butler PA)
John L. or W. Sr. m Leannie Cline (Civil War)
George m Olive Willey or Wiley
Phoebe m Samuel Cline (Long Grove Cemetery, Fayette County IA)
Rhoda Jane m William Sill (Goldfield, Wright Co. IA)
