Enoch Baylis Born Butler Ohio 1822+/- cannot confirm his family

Question

Have almost all data from 1822, no birth records on Enoch, until today, can't find the break through on who is father was because there are so many Bayles' in Butler but no  "Enoch" Bayles'.  For the Genealogy people, when he died the name changed to Baylis but often found as Bayliss.  Enoch's wife was Mahalia Gates, "from an old pioneer family" but she also does not have any past I can find.
