Description: Enoch Hayes Place (1786-1865) was pastor of the Third Freewill Baptist Church of Strafford, New Hampshire. He was born to James and Abigail (Hayes) Place on a farm in nearby Rochester, but spent most of his life in Strafford. He married his cousin, Sally Demeritt of Barrington, daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Hayes) Demeritt, on 29 September 1808. Enoch and Sally had nine children. His journals are an almost daily record of events in Southeastern New Hampshire and other states through which he traveled during 55 years of tremendous change of the American experience.
