General Notes: Husband - Enoch Walton
SWAYNE:
The following, slightly reformatted to improve readability, is from Byberry Waltons (Norman Walton Swayne, 1958), pgs 74-75:
148 ENOCH WALTON (5), born about 1783, died March 30, 1861 in his 78th year, son of 51 Samuel Walton & his 2nd wife Sarah Steiner of Phila., married June 4, 1810 Eliza Emmerick, born about 1786, died Apr. 21, 1869 in her 82nd year, daughter of Balthasar Emerick of Phila., baker. The marriage is from St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Phila., which gives births of eleven children, even including two stillborn, and baptisms of several. Deaths are from the Phila. Public Ledger, which says in both cases they lived at 2025 Cherry St. Eliza's father's name is from his 1824 will.
Feb. 27, 1826 Enoch as exr deeded some of the estate of Balthaser Emerick of Phila., Baker. May 10, 1836 Enoch of Phila., Limeburner, & wife Elizabeth, deeded to William W. Moore of same, Druggist, for $4700, a brick messuage at the NE cor Spruce St. & Delaware 2nd St. 23' 6" wide on 2nd, rec'd 3 Feb. 1829 by Enoch subject to ground rent of $243. Aug. 18, 1860 Enoch, trustee of Balthazar Emerick and son in law of same, deeded a house at the SE cor Callowhill & Garden Sts. which he had held in trust for Balthazar's daughter Susannah Painter, who had died leaving six children.
Probably these Phila. directory listings are for 148 Enoch: 1811 blockmaker 37 Coates, 1813 same 60 Union and carpenter 4, Gillis' alley, 1814 blockmaker 40 Union and 115 S Water, 1816 same 115 S Water, carpenter at Peggs and storekeeper 211 N 2, 1817 blockmaker 115 S Water, 1818 blacksmith 12 Barron and drygoods store 73 Cedar NE cor Barron, 1820 thru 1822 drygoods ztore at same, 1822 thru 1829 same 192 S 2, 1830 thru 1836 same cor 2nd & Spruce, 1837 same 511 High, 1839 & 1840 limeburner 518 High, 1843 & 1845 same Cherry bel Sch 6, 1854 lime mer 7th bel P road and confect 361 South, 1856 & 1857 lime mer 7th bel P road h 361 South, 1859 clerk 2025 Cherry. In 1867 Elizabeth 2025 Cherry. Most of the years 1858 thru 1873 William Walton was at this final address, always called bricklayer.

HOW MANY ENOCHS?:
On the basis of city directories from 1811 to 1860 one could plausibly believe that there were 4 distinct Enoch Waltons in Philadelphia during that time period. Their four occupations were 1) blockmaker, 2) storekeeper, 3) carpenter and 4) lime burner/lime merchant. Enoch the storekeeper lived at the corner of Spruce and Second Streets from 1830 to 1835, and in 1836 Enoch, lime burner, and his wife Elizabeth sold a house on the NE corner of Spruce and Delaware Second Streets. From this we can deduce that the storekeeper and the lime burner were the same person and that his wife was named Elizabeth. I believe that the following directory entries all corerspond to the same person:

There is a natural connection between Enoch the lime burner in 1845 and before with Enoch the lime merchant in 1854 and later. In 1854 Enoch is also a confectioner. Lime merchant and confectioner seem a strange combination, but the address '361 South' binds them together. The following entries for William Walton, bricklayer, presumably a son of Enoch, further tie together the above entries for Enoch.

I have not seen Philadelphia city directories after 1860. Swayne says that Elizabeth Walton is at 2025 Cherry in 1867 and that William is at that address in most years from 1858 to 1873 and that he is always a bricklayer.
There are 2 other Enoch Waltons in the city directories:

These two Enoch Walton overlap from 1814 through 1817. Are they the same person? I doubt it, but they might be. For convenience let's assume they are, and we will refer to him as Enoch the carpenter. It is not clear why he is absent from 1818 through 1829.
In the 1860 census there are two Enoch Waltons of about the same age in Philadelphia. Both are old; one is a carpenter and for the other one no occupation is given. One is married to Elizabeth and the other to Rebecca.
The records of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church show that Enoch Walton married Eliza Emmerick there June 14, 1810, and they show that 9 children whose father was Enoch Walton and whose mother was either Elizabeth or Eliza Walton were baptized there between 1811 and 1824. The burial records of the same church list two stillborn infants whose father was Enoch Walton (no mother specified). Since the wife of Enoch the storekeeper/lime burner was named Elizabeth, I assume that all these children belong to Enoch the storekeeper/lime burner and that he is the Enoch Walton married to Elizabeth in 1860.
I will assume that Enoch the carpenter is married to Rebecca. I don't know why he vanished from the city directories after 1851 since he is in the census in 1860.
There are 2 Enoch Waltons in the 1860 census and in 1830; there is only one in 1820, 1840 and 1850. Consider the neighbors of Enoch Walton in the 1820 census and look up their addresses in the 1820 city directory. Four of the eight closest census entries live on Cedar at 65, 69, 77 and 79. Enoch Walton the storekeeper is at 73 Cedar. Hence I deduce that the 1820 census entry is the storekeeper. In 1830 one of the Enoch Waltons in the census lives in Dock Ward. The dry goods store at the corner of Second and Spruce is in Dock Ward if it is on the north side of Spruce Street, and the house that Enoch Walton, limeburner, and Elizabeth, his wife, sold in 1836 was on the NE corner of Second and Spruce. New Market Ward is just south of Dock Ward. In the 1830 census two entries close to Enoch Walton (Dock Ward) are "Spruce above Second" in DeSilver's Philadelphia Directory. I deduce that the Enoch Walton in Dock Ward is the storekeeper.
I believe that the following are for Enoch Walton, storekeeper/lime burner:

Swayne conjectures that there is only one Enoch Walton in Philadephia in the first half of the 19th century. That is not plausible. There are at least two and maybe three. The above analysis serves only to separate them on the assumption that there are two. It says nothing about which one is the son of Samuel Walton, the cabinetmaker who died in 1805. I have conjectured that the storekeeper/lime burner is his son based on the fact that Samuel's daughter Martha married in the same church in which Enoch and Elizabeth Emmerick married and in which his children were baptized and on the fact that their second and third children were named Sarah and Samuel. Moreover the store of Enoch the storekeeper was on the north side of Spruce Street between Second and Front Streets and Samuel Walton the cabinetmaker lived for many years on the south side of Spruce between Second and Front.
I have no idea who the father of Enoch the carpenter is or who his children are. Neither does Swayne, for whom he is not a separate person. There is another Enoch Walton who is in Bucks Co., Richland Township in 1820 and in 1830. He is 511 (pg 186) in Swayne. He died in 1828. Another younger Enoch Walton is in the 1860 census. He was born about 1818.
