  History of the town of Candia, Rockingham County, N.H. : from its first settlement to the present time. Manchester, N.H.: G.W. Browne, 1893, 575 pgs. (p. 528). Enoch settled in Candia, Chester Co., New Hampshire in about 1743. Being the first to settle at the corner on lot 87, 3d division. - Enoch was a Sergeant in Captain Coggswell's Company of Colonel Loammi Baldwin's Regiment of Massachusetts. - Enoch was appointed tax collector in Candia in 1765. - Genealogical Record of the Hodges Family of New England (pp. 254-255.) Enoch Rowell Sr. and Enoch Rowell Jr. both served in the Revolutionary War. When their term of enlistment expired, they were discharged and, as was the custom, were left to get home as they could. They traveled on foot together many a weary mile, mostly through woods, with here and there a small settlement. Before reaching their home in Candia, N. H., the elder man's strength failed him, weakened as he was by the hardships and privations of his military service, and his son went forward to procure help. On returning with assistance, the son found his father sitting on a log where he had left him, with his cane between his knees, both hands on top of the cane, his head on his hands--dead. - Full Context of Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution, 17 Vols.
