Notes:
History of White County, page 705, states that the Village of Enfield, IL
was originally laid out in 1853 by Dr. Martin Johnson as follows:
The original site of Enfield was in
the northeast corner of the 40 acres bought by Doctor Martin Johnson from Thomas
Crabtree [note: Thomas & Martin were brother-in-laws - they married sisters
Comfort & Minerva Garrison]. The northern and eastern boundaries of the original
site coincided with the northern and eastern boundaries of the 40 acres as
described, but the site of the first village extended south only far enough to
include one row of lots south of Main Street and west to Third Street--the
street that is east of the Southern Illinois Lumber Company.
