Enoch Mabury RECTOR and Elizabeth DONHAM were the parents of Florella Jane "Jenna" RECTOR. Enoch RECTOR was born 4 June 1828 in Vigo County, IN, the son of John Preston RECTOR and Catherine PRICE. Elizabeth DONHAM was born 1 May 1836 in Clay County, IN, the daughter of Abel DONHAM Jr. and Matilda REECE. They were married 1 December 1854 in Clay County, IN.44
The following is from Blanchard's History of Clay County:
ENOCH M. RECTOR is a native of Vigo County, Ind., born June 4, 1828, of parents John and Catherine (PRICE) RECTOR. His parents emigrated to this state at a very early day, and his father assisted in breaking the first field for corn that was plowed on Fort Harrison Prairie. Enoch lived with his parents in Vigo County until he was eight years old, then moved with them to Perry Township, Clay County, locating near where he now lives. Born and bred a farmer, he has always been inclined in that direction. He obtained his education in the rude country schoolhouse of the early times; yet he is self-educated, and has taught several terms, his first term being a subscription school taught in the Washington Schoolhouse, Perry Township. He afterward obtained a teacher's license in Clay County, and taught seven terms in said county, afterward teaching four terms in Vigo County. He had the reputation of being a first-class teacher, and at that time a credit to the profession. He received the highest wages paid, $1.50 per day. On December 1, 1854, he was married to Elizabeth DONHAM, daughter of Abel DONHAM, one of the oldest settlers now living in Perry Township. She was born May 1, 1836. Thirteen (living) children have been born to them.... Enoch RECTOR purchased his first land from the Wabash & Erie Company at $2.50 per acre. Since then he has accumulated and purchased until he now owns 400 acres of well-improved land. He lives in one of the largest and finest houses in this section. He takes an active interest in politics, lending his services to the Democratic party. He is an enterprising citizen, and much respected by the community in which he lives. He was a Justice of the Peace in Perry Township for eight years. He is a member of Marion Grange, No. 1426.
Enoch RECTOR died on 4 Jul 1905 in Perry Township, Clay County, IN. His wife Elizabeth (DONHAM) RECTOR died 10 Feb 1909. They are both buried at Oak Hill Cemetery.
