Have not found in 1860 - this man is not the Enos & Sarah who are in Jasper Co Iowa - that Enos was nearly the same age and did marry a Sarah. The Enos in Iowa was not a minister and he was still there in 1870 - he lived until 1901 - and was the son of Isaac's oldest brother Abraham.

Sworn by Daniel Franklin at Newcastle, 22 Oct 1875. Proved and recorded 22 Oct 1875.
Note: the date of death reported as 2 Nov 1875 is obviously an error, as is the date of death as 1874 on his grave marker. Likely he died in early October, 1875.
