Request for Input [14 March 2015]

Her person page is overloaded with information; some useful, but much repetitive. I propose moving the "Personal History" to this talk page and then cleaning up the essential timeline info and sources. If anyone has any objections to this course of action, I'd like to be aware of them before I proceed.--jaques1724 23:00, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Go for it: I didn't have enough moxy to attempt.--SkippyG 01:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

By all means, please clean it up!--Gunnj 12:26, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Ancestry.com Gene E. Perkins - Connecticut & Massachusetts to Midwest Genealogy Gene.Perkins@charter.net

"I believe it is generally accepted that the wife of Thomas Noble, the immigrant, was Hannah WARRINER, daughter of William Warriner and Joanna SEARLE, not Scant. I know, it was Scant in the LDS Ancestral file, Boltwood says it was Scant, and so does the Rev. Edwin Warriner in his 1899 book _The Warriner Family_. To confuse matters even more, Warriner says that Boltwood gave the name as Searl (which he didn't) and that he, Edwin, looked at the original record and the name is "quite plainly written Scant"! This doesn't make sense, but that's what he wrote. It is easy to see how the two names could look similar in cursive. I wonder if there is anyone on this list who has seen any original documents on Joanna maiden name, since neither Boltwood nor Warriner provided sources. From a list of home lots of the first settlers of Springfield you will see that there is a William Warriner and a John Searle but no Scant. This is from a map in a book called "Beginnings, Thomas Cooper of Springfield" by Agnes Cooper, again, no original source document. In "Founders of Early American Families" by Colket one finds listed: Thomas Noble in Boston and Springfield, John Searle in Boston and Springfield, and William Warriner in Springfield, but nobody named Scant. Is there someone with a copy of The Great Migration or the NEHGS CD who can give a more definitive answer and source

I am not positive, but I think the submission to the Ancestral File on Thomas and Rachel Noble is an old one, with only a film for reference and no vital records to back it up. You can view a number of Noble trees at http://www.gendex.com, but most of them don't have any sources listed. Today I found a site there maintained by Rev. Darrell and Sallyann Joiner (http://www.my-ged.com/joyner/) which has Thomas' wife as Joanna Scant Searle, with an extensive ancestry. This same site also has a birthplace for Thomas and his parents Thomas and Rachel, as Bath, Somerset, England. However, I didn't find any sources referenced. They said to direct comments, corrections or contributions to their E-mail address which is carver@agate.net but I haven't pursued this as I just found the site this afternoon.

Anyway, has anyone ever seen any PROOF of Thomas and Rachel even existing, particularly as parents of Thomas of Westfield? I have seen filmed vital records of the Westfield Church at the LDS library and feel that we do have actual proof of Thomas and Hannah Noble having a son John (among others), but that is the first original source that I have seen. I am not putting down FTW, the Ancestral File, Boltwood or any other author or web site. I use them all; just checking my sources.

Notes for THOMAS NOBLE: "Nathan Noble, A Soldier of Three Wars" by Nathan Goold 28 pages - Page 4

 "...Nathan Noble's paternal great-grandfather was Thomas Noble, the emigrant ancestor of the largest family of the name in America, who was born in England as early as 1632.  he was at Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1653, visited England about 1657, and in 1664, he, with others, erected a sawmill on the west side of the Connecticut River.  Being there financially unsuccessful he removed to Westfield, Massachusetts, before 1669, and was one of the early settlers of that town.  he was a member of the Westfield church and a prominent man in the town, where he died January 20, 1704, aged at least seventy-two years, leaving a good estate.  he had ten children. ..."

=========================

Thomas Noble was born 1632 in England. He died 10 Jan 1703/1704 in Westfield, MA. Thomas married Hannah Warriner on 1 Nov 1660 in Hampden, MA. It is believed that he came to America about 1653 and became the ancestor of the largest family in the United States bearing the name of Noble.

The exact origin of the family is obscure, however it is reasonably certain that he is the man mentioned in the log of Drake who wrote concerning a man by the name of Noble as having been admitted as a citizen of Boston, January 5, 1653. It is known that he moved from Boston to Springfield, MA sometime in the year 1664. Here he and some associates erected a sawmill and followed this occupation for five years. In the year 1669 he moved to Westfield, MA and occupied a farm which was located about 2 1/2 miles from the present center of the town. He was in the territory of King Phillip's War and was much exposed. Grey Lock, an Indian who lived nearby had many chances to kill members of the family but spared them because of friendship and the fact that what was wanted was captives.

In the year 1683 there is a record in the courts stating that he paid a fine of five shillings for traveling on a fast day (Day of Humiliation). The records say he pleaded guilty, saying that he had to come home. This however did not save him - the judge warned him that this was a "growing evil and that it must be stopped".

In 1696 he was elected county surveyor. Records show that he did much of the surveying in the locality. The history of the Noble family says "when he died he left the family a respectable estate". His occupation was listed as tailor.

======================================

The General Guide to the Early Settlers of America by Henry Whittemore, 1967, gives:

Noble, Thomas; Boston 1652; removed to Springfield; m. Hannah, only dau. of William Warriner;

 removed to Westfield, 1669; freeman 1681; representative 1682.  He had John, 1662; Hannah, 1664,

======================================

The Great Migration from the eastern counties of England took place during the years of 1629-1640. The Puritans of these counties in the eastern part of England migrated to New England. This huge migration on the above dates was also called "the eleven years tyranny", for it was the period when Charles 1st did not call a parliament, Archbishop Laud violently purged the Anglican church of Puritans, and coincidentally was a time of severe economic depression, epidemic disease and great suffering. All provided a strong push for emigration. About 20 thou to Ireland same number to Netherlands and Rhineland, another 20 thou to West Indies, and 21 thousand to Massachusetts... - Excerpts from ALBION.S SEED, by David Hackett Fischer: Oxford U. Press, New York, 1989.

Last Will and Testament of Thomas Noble

"The last will and testament of Thomas Noble of Westfield, in ye county of Hampshire, in ye Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, being weak in body, but of perfect understanding.

Impr, I commend my soul into the hands of Christ my blessed Lord and Saviour and my body to Christian burial, in full faith of a blessed resurrection, through the rich Grace of God in Christ my Saviour.

Item, I give unto my son Thomas, that parcel of land lying in the farm purchased from Mr. Jn. Pynchon, from the gate beyond the house entering into the field bounded by the plowing land, the way to Springfield, John Noble's land and the drain all along the swamp.

Item, to my son Matthew, a tract of land in the same farm, lying by a ditch easterly and bounded at both ends by the river.

Item, I give unto my sons Mark and Luke, my little meadow, lying against the orchard of Noah Cooke and that homelot that I have bought and they have raised frames upon.

Item, I give the lot that the town gave me on the top of the hill against my house on the same farm, to all my six sons for pasture. Item, to my son James, a parcel of land and house upon it, on that farm that is fenced in, being six or seven acres more or less.

Item, I bequest the rest of this my farm lying bounded upon James northerly, Thomas on the east, Matthew on the south, ye river on the westerly sides, to all my sons, i.e., to my sons John, Thomas, Matthew, Mark, Luke and James, equally to be divided amongst them by my brother James Warriner and John Hitchcock of Springfield and by Capt Isaac Phelps of Westfield.

Item, I give to my son James, all my land in the plain, on this side the hundred acres and the lot by the way to Pochastuck.

Item, I give to my son John, the rest of my lot in ye fort meadow.

Item, I give unto my beloved wife, Hannah Noble, an acre of land reserved out of my son John's homelot; also half my dwelling house, that is to say, that end next the street, and halfe the land and orchard and barn we dwell on, and the other halfe of the house lot and barn to my son James, as also the thirds of all that I here will to my sons and after her decease, I give to my son James the whole of the house, houselot and barn and the acre reserved out of my son John's homelot.

Item, I give unto my four daughters, Hannah, Elizabeth, Mary and Rebecca L 20 apiece, to be paid them by my sons (viz.), Thomas, Matthew, Mark, Luke and James, to Mary and Rebecca about half a year after their marriage and a cow apiece at their marriage. And in case any of my children should dye, not leaving any issue behind them, then my will is that the legacies that I here give them, be equally divided among the surviving and also I order these my sons to find my wife fewel wood and two load of hay every year, so long as she shall remain widdow. Item, I give unto my wife also a cow and heifer, also all my household goods, which household goods I would have her at her pleasure dispose of to my two youngest daughters.

Item, my team (one yoak of oxen excepted), I give unto my three youngest sons, Mark, Luke and James. And for the well and faithful execution of this my last will, I ordain and make my beloved wife Hannah Noble and my son Thomas Noble joynt executors, to defray all my lawful debts and for that end leave one yoke of working cattle, a yoak and fatt oxen and the money in the Bay due me and all other dues, the which, when my debts are defrayed, the remainder I would have go to pay my daughter's portions. But in case the same shall be too little to clear my due debts, that then they are to raise what is sufficient out of the legacies, I have here given to my children, to do the same. In witness whereof I set to my hand and seal this eleventh day of May, Ano Dom., 1697.

                                 Thomas Noble and a [seal]
                                 Signed & sealed in the presence of
                                 Edward Taylor, Victory Sikes, James Warriner

August 5, 2000 NEHGR 8:60 has an abstract of the inventory of Capt. Bozone ALLEN, taken 22 Sep 1652, which includes a long list of persons owing debts to the estate [over a page of names]. Among those listed without a location is a Thomas NOBLE. Does anyone know if this was our Thomas? Wouldn't this be about the same time he was falling into debt to John PYNCHON?

   In the Westfield Library, there is a typed transcript of an article "The Old Cemetery" by Joseph D. Bartlett that appeared in the Westfield, Mass., Times and News-letter, 1885-1886. [I hope that this is cited correctly; now I am not sure why there is a range of years instead of a date.]

   I photocopied only page 3 of the transcript. Here is a verbatim copy of part of page 3:

' Of this large family how few of those who have lived and died in Westfield, have any stones to show where their dust sleeps! Thomas, the founder of the family, and Hannah, his wife, also Deacon Thomas and Elizabeth Dewey, Mark and Mary Marshall, Sergt. Luke and his three wives, Hannah Stebbins, Ruth Wright and widow Sarah Dewey, James and his wife, Ruth, and Rebecca, the youngest of the family, who married Samuel Loomis; all of these have no records save those obtained with much labor from the ancient records of our goodly town. The thought, that suggests itself, is that while living, we might as well attend to this matter ourselves. Would it not be the right thing for the descendants of Thomas, Sr. to at least erect a suitable monument to perpetuate his memory, not only as our progenitor, but also as one of the first settlers of Westfield. '

   Clearly, his suggestion was not picked up. I wonder if there are any descendants (our cousins) now living in Westfield, who might spearhead a drive to finance a memorial and make arrangements with local authorities. I doubt if a "monument," by which Bartlett probably meant a statue, would be popular but a brass plaque in some appropriate location might be possible.

"THOMAS NOBLE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. FIRST GENERATION AND CHILDREN.

1. THOMAS NOBLE was the emigrant ancestor of the largest family in the United States, bearing the name of Noble. He was born as early as 1632, probably in some part of England, and died in Westfield, Mass., Jan. 20, 1704, ‘. at least 72 yrs. His exact origin and early history are involved in obscurity, the place of his birth, the names of his parents, and the year in which he came to this country, being alike unknown. He was, without doubt, here in 1653, and was the man mentioned by Drake, (History of Boston, p. 331,) as admitted, on the 5th of January of that year, an inhabitant of Boston. The same year, he removed to Springfield, Mass., and opened an account at the store of John Pynchon. Though not one of the founders, he may he considered as one of the early settlers of that ancient town, the first settlement having been made in 1636, only seventeen years before. A few years after removing to Springfield, he visited England, as appears from an account-book of Mr. Pynchon. On the 1st of September, 1657, he was indebted to Pynchon to the amount of œ32 3s. 6d., in which account is this item: "To what I pd.for yor passage to and fro. Engld., and for yor charges (beside what I give you) as in my pocket booke, œ16 00. 00." In 1664, in connection with several of his townsmen, he had liberty granted him to erect a saw-mill, on the west side of the Co?? necticut, as appears from the following vote:

"Decembr ye 8th, 1664. There is Graunted liberty unto Samuel Marshfield, Thomas Noble, Thomas Miller and Elizur Holyoke upon their desires, for ye setting up of a saw Mill on a brook below Ensigne Cooper's farme over Agawam River; also there is graunted them about Forty acres of land where they shall chuse it, neere the place where the Mill shall stand, not prjudicing any of ye Inhabitants Propriety, or the high way: Also there is graunted them thirty acres of Meddow within 2 or 3 mile of ye place where they shall fynd it most convenient for their use, beginning at one end of their Meddow and soe proceeding till 30 acres be made up. These grants are on condition that they cause a saw mill to be sett up in the place above mentioned & sett to work in Sawing by the first day of Aprill wch shal be in ye yeere 1666. And in case that the said Undertakers, when they have sett up such work, shall see cause to desert the work, wth in three yeeres from the said tyme, they shall yield up the place and lands hereby graunted, into the hands of ye Town, or such in the town as shall carry on ye work, provided these undrtakers be paid wt charges they shall be at about the Work. Also, they are not restrayned of the liberty of the Comons, for all sorts of tymber for their use for Sawing or otherwise."

At a meeting of the selectmen of Springfield, Jan. 1, 1665 (i. e. 1666), it is recorded, "This day according to Towne order we considered about (making Rates &) takeing a list of ye estate of ye Plantation. And for Prizing ye Living Stock of ye Towne we choose Tho. Noble & James Warriner."

Mr. Noble, though a man of activity and industry, seems to have early fallen into a habit (which it is to be hoped that his descendants will carefully avoid) of living "beyond his means," and as a natural result, soon found himself in debt. To secure the sums due to Henry Smith and John Pynchon, he was obliged, in 1667, to make over to Pynchon his house in Springfield, and all his lands, except a grant towards Windsor. In the hope of improving his condition, and providing for the wants of a large and growing family, he was therefore ready to join those who were beginning a settlement at Westfield. The precise time of his removal to that place is not known. The lands there granted to him, July, 1666, on condition that he settled upon them before the last of May, 1667, having been forfeited by non-settlement, the grant was renewed, Jan. 9, 1668, and the time of settlement extended to Nov. 10, 1668. At all events, he was there as early as Jan. 21, 1669, for at a meeting at Warronoco, (Westfield,) at that date, it was

"Voted, That Ja. Cornish, Geo. Phelps, Thomas Dewey and Thomas Noble shall go to Springfield the first Tuesday in February next, at a Towne meeting, to propound to the Towne for the settlement of our place ??nd affayres, in particular to determine where the lyne shall run betwixt Springfield and us, and to appoynt persons to lay out the bounds granted us by the honored Genll Court, and to allow us to be a Township by orselves and signify the same to the honored Genll Court."

In his historical sketch of Westfield, Rev. Dr. Emerson Davis states, that Mr. Noble's residence in Westfield was about two and a half miles east of the present centre of the town, on the farm ??here his son, Dea. Thomas Noble, afterwards re??ided, an?? ??hich remained in the family until after the death, in 1791, of ??is great-grandson, Lieut. Stephen Noble, when it passed into the possession of Ambrose Day. There, he doubtless lived in peace and quiet, until the commencement of "King Philip's" war, in 1675. In this war, says Rev. Dr. Davis,

"Mr. Noble was much exposed. One night during family prayers, Gray Lock(*) (an old Indian), stepped up and pulled the string and let the door swing open, and as soon as all was quiet, he would pull the string again. Mr. Noble was persuaded by his friends to move into town. Gray Lock said he had several opportunities of killing most of his children at a shot, but did not want scalps as much as captives."

Having been chosen constable of Westfield, the records of the Hampshire county court show, that on the 7th April, 1674, he "was sworne to discharge ye sd office," which in those days was one of honor and trust. He took the oath of allegiance to his Majesty, Jan. 23, 1678; joined Westfield church, Feb. 20, 1681; was made a freeman, Oct. 12, 1681, and at the Hampshire county court, Sept. 26, 1682, took the freeman's oath.

The Hampshire county records show that about this time he suffered the penalty of the law for travelling on Fast day:

"At a County Corte held at Northampton, March 27th, 1683. Thomas Noble of Westfield being presented by the Grand jury for Travelling on a day of Humiliation, publiquely appointed by the Genll Corte, which he owned, pleading his necessity for Comeing home, and yet this Corte Considering said offense, being a growing evil amongst us, many Persons too much disregarding such extraordinary Dutys, & Seasons, have adjudged sd. Noble to pay as a fine to the County treasurer five shillings."

In 1684, his name is with the most influential of his townsmen, upon the jury of inquest on the body of Eliezer Weller(+) of West??eld, (*)If this was the chieftain of the Waranokes, Rev. Dr. Davis is obviously in error in calling him "an old Indian." King Philip's war terminated in July, 1676. Temple and Sheldon, in their History of Northfield, state, that Gray Lock, the chief of the Waranokes, so called from the color of his hair, was the most prominent chief in Father Ralle's war, which raged fifty years later, 1723-26. They say: "He was now well advanced in age, but retained all the daring, and tact, and energy of his youth. In 1723, he was living on the shore of Missiquoi bay, at the northerly end of Lake Champlain." The only way of reconciling the statement of Rev. Dr. Davis with that of Temple and Sheldon, is by supposing, that in 1675, he was prematurely gray, and was at that time really young, although from the color of his hair, appearing to be an old man.

"We whose Names are undr written being desired by the Constable as a Jury according to Law, to give or Judgmt. on the awful, amazing, and untimely death of Eliezer Wellere, after due notice taken, we al unanimously agree, that through the strength of temptation he became his own Executionr, by hanging himself, al signes & circumstances fully concurring therein, & nothing appearing to the Contrary, to the best of or Judgmts, we suppose he might be dead twenty four houres before it was known.

"The sevrall p sons above subscribed, Samll Root excepted, who was from home, made oath to what is above written this 10th of Sept., 1684.

                         Before me,     JOHN PYNCHON, Assist." 

The town of Westfield, on the 6th of Sept., 1685, granted to him, in connection with Isaac Phelps, Nathaniel Weller, and David Ashley, liberty to erect a saw-mill "on the brook, on the northeast side of the river;" and at the same date, together with George Sexton, he was chosen "to join with the Selectmen to prize buildings." At a town meeting held Sept. 22, 1691, he was appointed with Lieut. Phelps and John Sacket, "to atend the Court upon the town account with respect to the difference between our town and Suffield, and do what they can in the towne' behalf settling our bounds between us and Suffield."

"At a town meeting, Mch. 4, 169 4/5, . . . there was Granted unto Tho. Noble, Senr, upon the plaine knowne by the name of fower miles plaine, the contents of halfe a mile Square, that is to say the Liberty of the Pines one this pice of Land for Roysume, w?? is to continue for three years ensuing the date heare."

The records of Westfield show, that on the 2d of March, 1696, he was chosen county surveyor. Agriculture, necessarily the main pursuit of every one in the ??early history of a country, was his principal employment, although while at Springfield, during the winter, he worked a portion of the time as a tailor.

At Westfield, he was so much prospered in his labors, as not only to bring up a large family of children well, but also to leave them at his death a respectable estate.

NOBLE The surname Noble is of great antiquity in England. It first appears in 1199, in the reign of Richard I., and the name has been common since. The name is found also in Scotland, and several noted merchants of the name lived in Edinburgh. Families in England, Scotland and Ireland bore arms. The principal seats of the family were in Cornwall, Belson and Bishop's Tentor, county Devon, and Marming, near Maidstone, county Kent. This family bore these arms: Or two lions passant guard, in pale azure between as many flaunches of the last: over all a fesse gules charged with three bezants. Crest: A lion passant azure. Also: Ar. three burdock leaves vert. Crest: A dexter hand holding a dagger. Motto: Virtute et valore.

(I) Thomas Noble, the immigrant ancestor, was born as early as 1632, and died in Westfield, Massachusetts, January 20, 1704, aged at least seventy-two years. He was an early settler of Springfield, coming from Boston, where he was admitted an inhabitant January 5, 1653. He had an account at the store of John Pynchon, in Springfield, and this account book shows that he visited England, apparently on Pynchon's business, soon after removing from Boston. In 1664 he, with others, was given leave to set up a sawmill on "a brook below Ensigne Cooper's farme over Agawam River."

He was an appraiser of the town. He had lands granted him in Westfield in July, 1666, on condition of settlement, and the grant was removed January 9, 1668. He settled there as early as January 21, 1669, and was on a committee to decide the boundary lines. His homestead was about two and a half miles from the present centre of the town. He served as constable, and took the oath of allegiance January 23, 1678. He joined the Westfield church, February 30, 1681, and was made freeman October 12, 1681. He was fined five shillings at one time for travelling on a fast day. During King Philip's war, Mr. Noble was persuaded to move to town, as his home was in danger of attack. On March 2, 1696, he was county surveyor. He was a tailor by trade. His will, dated May 11, 1697, was proved September 5, 1704. He married, November 1, 1660, Hannah Warriner, born in Springfield, August 17, 1643, only daughter of William and Joanna (Scant) Warriner. She joined the Westfield church, November 11, 1680.

Notes for JOHN NOBLE: "History and Genealogy of the Family of Thomas Noble of Westfield, Massachusetts" by Lucius M. Boltwood P. 28 - 29

"John Noble, s. of Thomas, was b. in Springfield, Mass., March 6, 1662, and d. in New Milford, Conn., August 17, 1714, age 52. He removed in childhood with his father to Westfield. ..."

"...On the 22d June, 1706, John Noble, then of Westfield, purchased land at new Milford, Conn., of John Woodruffe of Milford, an original proprietor. ..."

"Rev. Stanley Griswold, pastor of the Congregational church at new Milford, in a century sermon preached January, 1801, full extracts from which are entered on the town records, has the following in relation to John Noble: 'The first white settler, who came to this town, was John Noble from Westfield, Mass., who came here in the year 1707. he brought with him at first one of his daughters, then about eight years old. He first built a hut under what is called Fort Hill, but afterwards moved, and pitched here in the centre of the town. His house here was for some time the last house on this side of Albany, and General Nicholson once lodged in it, during the reigh of Queen Anne. It deserves to be mentioned to the credit of the natives, that Mr. Noble once left his little daughter, then eight years old, with them for the space of three or four weeks, while he was necessarily absent from the town, and on his return found she had been well treated and taken exceedingly good care of. Another daughter of his, the late Mrs. Margaret Hine, who died here in the 93d year of her age, was then three years old, and the fact was fresh in her memory, as she had heard it while young, though she herself was not then brought hither.' "

"On the 10th January, 1710, several years previous to the organization of the church in New Milford, Mr. Noble joined the First Congregational church in Woodbury, Conn. ..."

"Nathan Noble, A Soldier of Three Wars" by Nathan Goold 28 pages - Page 3

 "...Nathan Noble's paternal grandfather was John Noble, born in Springfield, Massachusetts, March 6, 1662, who had two wives and eleven children.  he was the first white settler of new Milford, Connecticut, and founder of that beautiful town, in about 1707.  He was a public-spirited and prominent citizen of the town, but died suddenly in the full strength of his manhood, August 17, 1714, aged fifty-two years. he was a member of the Congregational church.  Nathan Noble's father was the son of the second wife, Mary Goodman..."

======================================

"Origin, History and Genealogy of the Buck Family" Page 51

"On the 22nd day of June 1706, John Noble, of Westfield, Mass., being then about forty years of age, and the father of Eleven children, purchased on of these 'rights.' Early the following Spring, accompanied by his little daughter, Sarah, - then about nine years old, he tramped through the forest, all the way from Westfield, Mass., to the Honsatonie, to explore his purchase. these are said to have been the first white persons, who ever trod the soil of New Milford Township. This daughter afterwards became the first 'School Marm' of the New settlement, and the wife of Titus Hinman of Woodbury."

"John Noble was certainly a brave and resolute man, thus to venture into the trackless wilderness, at the risk of his own life and that of his child. Arriving in the vicinity of the present New Milford, the father built a hut of palisades, to protect him and his little companion from the attacks of the wild beasts and red men. The plucky little girl acted as chef d' cuisine and performed such other matronly duties, as the circumstances would permit, while the stalwart father, selecting a building site, began to fell the giants of the forest, and let in the light of the sun. In this occupation he was joined by his son, John, Jr., the following summer, (the latter having purchased a right in the tract) and the two, that summer, built a log-hut on the site of the present residence of Col. James D. Bliner on the east side of the river. Later they were joined by the other members of the family."

SECOND GENERATION AND CHILDREN. DESCENDANTS OF JOHN NOBLE, SON OF THOMAS.

2.JOHN NOBLE, s. of Thomas, was b. in Springfield, Mass., March 6, 1662, and d. in New Milford, Conn., Aug. 17, 1714, ‘. 52. He removed in childhood with his father to Westfield. In her will, executed at Deerfield, Mass., Feb. 25, 1692, and proved on the 29th of the succeeding March, Mary, widow of Richard Goodman, formerly of Hadley, names her son-in-law, John Noble, her executor, and declares: "My will is, that my son Noble shall possess, improve, & injoy my house, Barn & all my Lands in Hadley, till ye term of his foure years be fully accomplished & Compleated." It is probable that he was at that time a resident of Hadley, and an occupant of the above-named house. Certain it is, that he was of Hadley, November, 1694, and at that date purchased of John Pynchon, skins to the value of nearly œ6. Possibly he was then a furrier, though it may be that he bought these skins to sell again, for in 1702 he is styled "trader." On the 12th of February, 1695, he was still at Hadley, and then, for œ10, bought of Stephen Lee of Westfield, five and three-quarter acres of land in Westfield. He returned to Westfield as early as March 2, 1696, at which date he was chosen constable, and on the 20th April, 1702, is called "trader," and on the 1st September, 1703, "innholder," and continued, doubtless, to make that the place of his residence until 1707. In the last-named year, as is supposed, he was the pioneer settler of New Milford, Conn...

...But in midsummer of 1714, before the plans which he had so fondly cherished had been carried out, even before the establishment of a church, John Noble, the enterprising founder of this new town, was, in the full strength of manhood, suddenly removed by death.

Bibliographic Information: Grafton, Two Centuries of New Milford Connecticut. Connecticut: The Grafton Press, 1907 Page 3

"INTRODUCTION Two hundred years ago, in the summer of 1707, the pioneer John Noble, with his little daughter, made his way through the wilderness from Westfield, Mass., and set up his rude cabin in the beautiful valley of Weantinock, on the west side of "Stratford" River, under the shadow of Fort Hill, near neighbor to the Indians, with whom he became very friendly. He trusted their friendship so much that he left his daughter in their care while he went on a journey, following the Indian trail through the wilderness to Albany, to pilot some gentlemen; and, on his return, he found her well taken care of.

He subsequently built a log house on the east side of the river on land now occupied by the residence of Levi P. Giddings.

The next year his son, John Noble, Jr., came and made a settlement, and, before 1712, twelve families had settled here on sites purchased by the Milford Company from the Indians, the purchases having been ratified by the Colonial Legislature; but, strange to say, only two of the twelve, Samuel Prindle and Isaiah Bartlett, came from Milford town.

Page 8 - 9

"...John Noble's house, the first in the town, stood on the site of Mr. Levi P. Giddings' present residence. At the time it was built, it was the last house this side of Albany, and fourteen miles from any white man's dwelling. The original "Town Plot" was on Aspetuck Hill, our forefathers evidently being impressed even then with the beauty and healthfulness of the hilltops. What is now Park Lane was also in the first century of the town a more populous neighborhood than the one in our village. But the valley offered more shelter and protection in the rigorous winters, and doubtless the toilsome life of the pioneer made the hill-climbing a heavy burden; so the valley triumphed at last, and claimed the larger population.

In 1712 the "New Milford Plantation" became a town, the inhabitants having petitioned the General Court to that end In this year, also, "Mr. Daniel Bordman was called to preach ye gospel at New Milford." Previous to this, except for occasional preaching here, the people had been obliged to go to Woodbury or Derby for church services. John Noble became a member of the Woodbury Church in these first years. When we recall what was meant by that long journey of twenty-eight miles through the wilderness, in which the narrow Indian trail was the only path, we bow in reverence before the faith and sturdy manhood that laid a sure foundation for the blessings that have come down to us. John Noble was a tower of strength to the little community during his brief life here.

He was evidently a modest man, who did not exalt his own deeds; but we may read between the lines a story of noble service and heroic courage. He fortified his house as a refuge for the people in times of danger from hostile Indians. He was the first town clerk elected by the town, and a surveyor of lands. When he died, in 1714, there must have been sincere mourning in the little community. He was the first adult person to be buried in the little graveyard. All honor to John Noble, our first citizen!

BY REV. FRANK A. JOHNSON IN THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ". . . In the summer of 1707, an eagle, poised on extended pinions over the Housatonic Valley, would have looked down upon a scene of singular beauty. He would have beheld a wilderness; but has not a wilderness a beauty unsurpassed by the artificial works of man? Mountain, hill and valley were clothed with magnificent forests of oak, chestnut and ash. The river, then a clear mountain stream, weaving its way among the hills, added to the sylvan beauty of the scene. There was no sign of the presence, or even existence of man, save possibly the thin smoke from the camp-fire of some peaceful Indian, who loved these hills, the home of his fathers.

"Into this trackless wilderness, from the then far-away northland of Massachusetts, came John Noble and his little eight-year-old daughter. Do we, who know this lovely valley so well, wonder that he built his simple home here, and that his descendants have remained here ever since? His house was for some time the last house this side of Albany."

"(II) John Noble, son of Thomas Noble, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, March 6, 1662, and died August 17, 1714, in New Milford, Connecticut. He was a child when his father moved to Westfield. In November, 1694, he was of Hadley, Massachusetts, when he purchased skins of John Hadley; he may have been a furrier, but more likely bought them to sell again, as in 1702 he was called a trader. While in Hadley he doubtless lived in the house left him by his mother-in-law, Mary Goodman, in her will of February 25, 1692. In 1695 he bought land in Hadley, but returned to Westfield as early as March 2, 1696, when he was chosen constable. In 1703 he was an innkeeper. In 1707 he settled in New Milford, Connecticut, being the first white man to settle in that place. This land was granted to Colonel Robert Treat and others of Milford, October 28, 1703, and John Noble purchased his land of John Woodruffe, an original proprietor, June 28, 1706. On January 10, 1710, he joined the church in Woodbury, Connecticut; on October 17, 1711, the inhabitants of New Milford petitioned the general court for permission to found a church there, and his name headed the list, and this petition was granted May, 1715. Noble was prominent in bringing about the settlement of the church there. After his sudden death in 1714, his son Stephen was appointed administrator of his estate, the inventory being dated December 2, 1714. John Noble married (first) September 13, 1682, Abigail, daughter of John and Abigail Sackett, of Northampton and Westfield; she was born December 1, 1663, and died at Westfield, July 3, 1683, aged nineteen. He married (second) 1684, Mary, daughter of Richard and Mary (Terry) Goodman, of Hadley. She was born November 5, 1665, and entered into full communion with the Westfield church, March 25, 1688. She was dismissed from that church to the church at Derby, Connecticut, in 1713, and was an original member of the New Milford church, at its organization, November 21, 1716. She was living March 15, 1717. Child by first wife: Abigail, born June 30, 1683. By second wife: John, February 15, 1685; Stephen.

SECOND GENERATION AND CHILDREN.

DESCENDANTS OF MATTHEW NOBLE, SON OF THOMAS

5. MATTHEW NOBLE, s. of Thomas, was b. abt. 1668, and d. in Sheffield, Mass., abt. 1744, ‘. abt. 76. He put himself under the watch of the Westfield church, Aug. 19, 1694, and together with his wife, joined the same, Nov. 3, 1728, after their removal to Sheffield, the church at the latter place not being then organized. The precise date of his removal to Sheffield has not been ascertained. It is known, however, that the land in that township, which, in 1725, had been divided into lots by John Ashley and Ebenezer Pomeroy, was very soon occupied by settlers, who came in, and planted themselves upon the river bank. In a "History of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, by gentlemen in the county, clergymen and laymen," 12ø, Pittsfield, 1829, is a carefully prepared sketch of Sheffield, by Rev. James Bradford, who on the 13th of October, 1813, was settled over the Congregational church in that place. In this sketch, appears the following statement, respecting the first settler of Sheffield:

"Mr. Obadiah Noble was the first white man who came to reside in Sheffield. He was from Westfield, and came and spent the first winter here with no other human associates than the Indians. In the spring, he went back to Westfield, and in June, his daughter, afterwards the wife of Dea. Daniel Kellogg, returned here with him. She was the first white woman that came into the town. She travelled from Westfield, when about sixteen years of age, on horseback, bringing a bed with her, and lodged one night in the wilderness, in what is now the cast part of Tyringham."

The above statement has been quoted with more or less fullness, by J. W. Barber, in "Massachusetts Historical Collections"; by J. G. Holland, in his "History of Western Massachusetts," and more recently by J. G. Barnard, and G. A. Hoadley, in their addresses at the Centennial celebration of the town of Sheffield, on the 19th of June, 1876.

Mr. George D. Noble, an intelligent citizen of Sheffield, born there on the 23d of August, 1813, the great grandson of Obadiah Noble, informed me, in 1876, that his grandfather Nathaniel Noble, whom he well remembers, and who died, May 28, 1824. ‘. 87, used

Page 367

to say, "My father, Obadiah Noble, was the first white settler of Sheffield; he came from Westfield to Sheffield in the fall of the year, lived the first winter in a wigwam, and the next spring went for his wife, and soon brought her, a bride, to Sheffield."

To Mr. Bradford's statement, the objections are these: In the first place, there is no evidence that Obadiah Noble ever had a daughter, his family consisting of five sons, whose births are recorded on the town record of Sheffield. In the second place, Hannah Noble, who subsequently became the wife of Dea. Daniel Kellogg, is known to have been the daughter of Matthew, and not the daughter of Obadiah Noble.

To the statement of Mr. George D. Noble, we have this objection to make, that in 1724, when Hannah Noble, afterward the wife of Dea. Daniel Kellogg, was sixteen years of age, Obadiah Noble, her brother, was but eighteen, quite too young to have been the pioneer settler of the town. Again, the eldest child of Obadiah Noble having been born May 22, 1734, it is not probable that he was married much before the year 1733, whereas, the first settler would, according to G. D. Noble, have been married as early as 1725.

We incline, therefore, to the opinion, that if any person by the name of Noble was the first settler of Sheffield, it was Matthew, and not his son Obadiah. Matthew is known to have been there on the 3d of February, 1727, for at that date, as appears by Hampshire Deeds, E. p. 61, "Matthew Noble, of Housatunnuck, husbandman, in consideration of a certain sum paid by Capt. John Ashley of Westfield, gentleman," makes over to him "two certain tracts or Parcells of lands, with a house, barn and ortchard or ortcharding upon it, which Parcells of lands Containing in quantity by Estimation about two hundred acres, lying and being partly within the Bounderies and precincts of ye township of Springfield, and partly within ye boundaries of the township of Westfield, in the aforesd County, it being a tract of land, which the sd Mathew Noble formerly Dwelt upon, and lyeth Easterdly of ye mountaine, which rangeth between the sd Westfield and Springfield, and alsoe lyeth Southerlie of Westfield river."

If Matthew Noble was in Sheffield, in Feb., 1727, he could not have removed during the winter, but must certainly have removed as early as the previous year. How much earlier he fixed his abode there, we have no means of determining.

In 1733, Matthew Noble issued the following warrant for the first town meeting in Sheffield:

Page 368

"HAMPSHIRE ss. SHEFFIELD, Jan. 11, 1738.

"To the Constable or Constables of the Town of Sheffield, or Either of them Greeting. In His Majesty's Name, you are Required forthwith to warn the free Holders, or Proprietors that are approbated settlers in the said Town of Sheffield, that they meet at the House of Mr. Obadiah Noble, on Wensday the sixteenth Day of January Currant, at ten of the Clock In the Morning; and signifle unto them that they are then and their Required to Chuse Town Officers to serve the Town Respectively from the Date of said Meeting, untill the time of annually Chusing Town Officers, which is in March Next.

"This warrant is Given under my Hand Persuant to the Power and authority Directed to me by the General Assembly at Boston, to Call sd meeting to Chuse Town Officers &c., and you are Hereby Directed to make a Return of sd warrant unto myself at or before sd time to me. Given under my Hand the day above said.

                                         MATTHEW NOBLE." 

In pursuance with this warrant, a meeting was held, of which the following is a record:

"Att Leagal Meeting, Janr 16, 1733, in Sheffield, voted, matthew Noble Chosen moderator.

voted at the Same meeting Hezekiah Noble Chosen Town Clerk, and sworn.

voted at the Same meeting John Smith, Philip Calender, and Daniel Kellogg was chosen Selectmen.

voted at the Same meeting Nathaniel Austinn, and obadiah Noble was Chosen fenceviewers and Sworn.

voted at the Same meeting, and Jonathan Root was Chosen Sirveyer and Sworn."

The first minister called by the Sheffield church, was doubtless Mr. Ebenezer Devotion.(*) The church records are not to be found, but on the town records, appear the following votes, under date of June 7, 1734:

"Voted to Give mr Ebenezer Devotion A call to the work of the ministrie In this Town.

"Mathew Noble, Ezekiel Ashley and Philip Calender ware Chosen a Committee to Treate with mr Devotion In order for Settling In the work of the Ministrie."

(*) Ebenezer Devotion, s. of Rev. Ebenezer and Hannah (Breck) Devotion, was b. in Suffield, Conn., May 8, 1714; graduated at Yale College, in 1732; was settled 1735, as first pastor of the Cong. church in Scotland parish in the town of Windham, Conn., and d. 1771.

Page 369

Matthew Noble died intestate. The proceedings of the court of probate, in the settlement of his estate, are as follows:
