Enoch was born in 1762. He was the son of Enoch Spinks and Amy Pearce. He passed away in 1842.

Rev. Enoch Spinks, Jr. gave forty acres of land for the establishment of the Mount Olivet Methodist Church in the year 1813.

The location of the church was changed in 1874 when the church was moved to it's present site. Although a cemetery was later established at the new church site, over 200 people were buried in the old Mount Olivet cemetery before and after the re-locating of the church itself.
