Early Land Acquisition in Augusta County, VA

John Noble had acquired land on "Cripple Creek at Big Spring", prior to his death in 1752. It is likely that the records of his grant or acquisition may be located in early Orange County (the predecessor county of Augusta where deeds were recorded before late 1745), Virginia records.

Information on John Noble

From "Papers read before the Lancaster County Historical Society, Volume 25", by Lancaster County Historical Society:

John Noble's will is dated June 10, 1752, and was probated Nov. 16, 1752. He names his wife, Mary and the following children, James, Alexander, Patrick, Ezekiel and a daughter named Jean. His wife Mary and "my brother, James Calhoun" were named as executors. Some of his land, lay "on Cripple Creek in the Big Spring." The witnesses were William, Patrick and Agnes Calhoun. See Will Rogers of Augusta County, Va.

Cripple Creek is a tributary of New River in Southwestern Virginia, but, as stated in a previous note, John Noble's home seems to have been in the neighborhood of the Natural bridge in the present County of Rockingham, Va. The records, therefore, show that the foregoing members of the Calhoun family were living in Virginia in 1752.
