Amos F. Eno (1836-1915), was born June 13, 1836, son of Amos Richards Eno (1810-1898) and Lucy Jane Phelps Eno (1818-1913).

The Eno family is a Colonial American family and one of the families that can trace their lineage to Richard Warren on the Mayflower.

Amos F. Eno was a New York tycoon, one of New York City's Washington Square millionaires, heir to the family fortune of about $40 Million.

Amos Eno never married and left his estate in its entirety to Columbia University. The will was contested in the probate courts for seven years concluded June 21, 1922.

The coin collection is assumed to have become property of Columbia University.

During the Civil War his uncle John S. Phelps was appointed governor of Kansas, and Amos F. Eno, was his Secretary. These offices were abolished in July 1863.
