NOBLE FAMILY






RUSSELL'S GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS



July 1996



found in an old trunk bought at an estate sale were donated. I was asked to help
sort thru these papers with Sue Rouse. The larger papers were separted from the
smaller pieces. The second paper read was the will of Philpenah KINSEY written
in 1820. This will named her former husband NOBLE as well as her eight children
by him. This was important to me as I have a Hardy DAVIS said to be the son of
Nancy NOBLE and Benjamin DAVIS. But I had no proof of this marriage other than
family sayso. The first person mentioned in this will is the son-in-law of
Philpenah KINSEY named Benjamin DAVIS. So of course I was excited. Also this
will and other papers found straighten out the confusion the NOBLE's had as to
their ancestor. I had been told either John or Richard or John Richard but the
will and other papers prove different. I also found other papers in State
Archives and elsewhere which supported this information. I had heard that this
NOBLE ancestor died in the Revolutionary War. I found proof of his service.

So the following information is quoted from papers found:

Dobbs County, NC - July Court 1782 -
Upon the petition of Philpenah NOBLE widow of Philemon NOBLE, dec'd praying
the Court to set a side such part of the said dec'd Estate to them shall seem
proper for the support of herself & Eight Children. Ordered that the money
arising from the sale of said Philemon NOBLES Estate amounting to two Hundred
and Eighty five pounds & seven Shillings Species as returned by the Sheriff and
also the manor plantation of the Dec'd and four Hundred Acres Adjopining and
including the said plantation be set apart for the use of the said widow and
Children.
State N. Carolina: I Charles WESTBROOK of Lenoir Court formerly Dobbs
County do hereby certify the forgoing to be a true Record taken from the Minutes
of said Court given under my hand at Linston the first day of July 1811.
Signed.

So this docuement proves that Philpenah MILLER NOBLE KINSEY was the widow of
Philemon NOBLE who died in 1782. Philepenah married second Joseph KINSEY.

I have a copy of a Survey for Philemon NOBLE as follows:

Survey'd for Philemon NOBLE a plantation containing two hundred acres of Land on
the North side of Trent River in Dobbs County - No Date

Also found is a pay voucher from the New Bern District #1053 for Philemon
NOBLES Jan 1783.

On a page of writing that looks like from the family Bible but of only one
page is the following:

Philemon NOBEL the son of Andrew NOBEL an Mary his wife was by the Will of
God born on Soundy the 25 of September in the year of our lord 1746.

Philemon NOBLE his book God give him grays therin to look

of god born on tusday the 3d of febbrey of our lord 1767.

Richard NOBEL theis day 24d in the year of 1769.

Willame NOBEL on the thursday the 11d July of the year 1771.

Susannah NOBLE born on July the 6 day in the year of 1773.

and Lewis NOBLE on Sateday the 22d of July in the year of 1773.

and Elizabeth NOBLE was born on tuesday the 20th day of May in the year of
1777.
and Jaremiah on the 13th day of July about nine oclock in the evin in year of
1779.

From receipts in this NOBLE family collection, the following is found:

One of the NOBLE children married Rachel and had a daughter per a recipt
stating such.

12 Sept 1798 - Jeremiah NOBLE recived from Richard NOBLE exec. of Philemon
NOBLE his full part of his de'd father's estate.

John NOBLE and Rachel NOBLE dec'd have a son Braddock NOBLE - he gets his
share on 1 Feb 1822 from his gdn. Evan WILLIAMS. Rachel NOBLE died by 1 Jany
1814. John NOBLE was dec'd by Dec 1801. Also a son Enoch NOBLE who in 29 June
1822 gets his part of Philpenah KINSEY estate being his part of John NOBLE.

William NOBLE married Nancy both dead by 3 March 1823.

One NOBLE married Catren who had daughters Elizabeth and Nancy by 1 Dec 1810
when she deeds to them money and cattle in hands of William NOBLE.

Elizabeth NOBLE married a BOYER and is dec'd by Nov 1833 her heirs are: John
HOWARD $33.02, Catherine WORLEY $11, Elisha TAYLOR $11, Joseph TAYLOR 50 cents.

Benjamin DAVIS married a daughter of Philemon and Philpena NOBLE. Her birth
is not on the one sheet of Bible but Philepenah names Benjamin DAVIS as her son
in law. DAVIS family tradition names this daughter as Nancy NOBLE.

I hope that the above information will be of help to descendants of Philemon
NOBLE and his wife Philepenah as well as to the descendants of Joseph KINSEY.
Any suggestions or corrections to any of the above material please write me. If
you have additional material to support any of the above, please let me know.
