      THOMAS NOBLE

      AND HIS DESCENDANTS.


      FIRST GENERATION AND CHILDREN.

      1.

      THOMAS NOBLE was the emigrant ancestor of the largest famify 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, m. at least 72 yrs. His exact origin and early history axe involved in obscurity, {he 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 6th of January of that year, an inhabitant of Boston.
      The same year, he removed to Springfield, Mass., and opened an acooont 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 amountof £32 3«. 6 << To what I pd.for your passage to and fro. Eng^d., and for your charges
      (beside what I give you) as in my pocket booke, £16 00. 00."

      In 1664, in connection with several of his townsmen, he had liberfy granted him to erect a saw-mill, on the west side of the Connecticut, as appears from the following vote:

      ''Decemb'y 8th, 1664. There is Grannted liberty unto fismuel Msrah-
      fidd^ThomasNoble, Thomas Miller and XUzurHolyoke upon their desires,
      for y* setting up of a saw Mill on a biodk below Ensigne Oooper's farms
      over Agawam River; also there is granted them about Forty acres of
      land where they shall chuse It, neere the place where the Mill shall stand,
      not prjudidng any of y* Inhabitants PMpriety, or the high way: Also
      there is grsunted them thirty acres of Meddow within 2 or 8 mile of y*
      place where Hiey shall fynd H most oonTenient for their use, iii*gii»i one end of their Keddow and soe proceeding tUl 80 acree be made up.
      These grants are on condition that the7 cause a aaw mill to be sett up in
      the place above mentioned A sett to work in Sawing by the first day of
      Apiill w«k shal be in y« yeere 1606. And in case that the said Undertak-
      ers, when fhey have sett up such work, shall see cause to desert the work,
      wth in three yeeres from the^said tyme, th^ shall yield up the place and lands
      hereby graunted, into the hands of y* Town, or such in the town as shall
      carry on y* work, provided these undtakera be paid w* charges they shall
      be at about the Work. Also, they are not restrayned of the liberty of the
      Ccnnons, for all sorts of tymber for their use for Sawing or otherwise."

      At a meeting of the selectmen of Springfield, Jan. 1, 1665 0. e. 1666),
      it is recorded, " This day according to Towne order we considered about
      (making Rates A) takdng a list of y« estate of jT Plantation. And for
      Prizing y* Living Stock of y* Towne we choose Tho. Noble A James
      Warriner."

      Mr. Noble, though a maB of activity and industry, ieems to have
      eiarly fallen into a habit (which it is to be hoped that his descend-
      ants 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 Fynchon his house in Springfield, and all his lands,
      except a grant towards Windsor. In the hope of improving his
      condition, and providing tor 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, JuJ^,
      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



      " Voted, That Ja. ComiBh, 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
      and aflayres, 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 Gen" Court, and to allow us to be a Township by o'selves
      and signify the same to the honored Qeaf^ Court"

      In his historical sketch of Westfield, Bev. 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

      where his son, Dea. Thomas Noble, atterwarde resided, and
      which remained in the family ontQ after the death, in 1791, of
      his 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 *' Eing Philip's " war, in
      1675. In this war, says Bev. Br. Davis,

      " Mr. Noble was much exposed. One night during fsmily 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, be 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 swome to discharge y* s* 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 tame he
      suffered the penalty of the law for travelling on Fast day:

      "At a County Oorte held at Nortliampton, March 87th, 1688. Thomas
      Noble of Westfield being p'sented by the Grand jury for Travelling on a
      day of Humiliation, publiquely appointed by the Gen" Oorte, which he
      owned, pleading his necessity for Comeing home, and yet this Oo^^ Con-
      sidering said affense, being a growing evil amongst us, many Persons too
      much disregarding such eztraordinaiy Dutys, & Seasons, have adjudged
      sd. Noble to pay as a fine to the County treasurer five shilUngs. "

      In 1684, his name is with the most influential of his townsmen,
      upon the jury of inquest on the body of Elieser "Wellerf of West-

      ?If this wss the chieftain of the Waranokes, Rev. Dr. Davis is ob-
      viously in error in calling him "an 0U Indian/' King Philip's war
      terminated in July, 1676. Temple and Sheldon, in their History of North-
      Held, state, that Gray Lock, the chief of the Waranokes, so called from the
      tfAoT of his hair, was the most prominent chief in Father Ralle's war,
      which raged fifty years later, 1723-M. They say: "He was now well
      advanced in age, but retained all the daring, and tact, and energy of bis
      youth. In 1788, he was living on the shore of Misslquoi bay, at the
      northerly end of Lake Champlain." The only way of reconciling the
      ststement of Rev. Dr. Davis with that of Temple and Sbeldon, is by sup-
      posing, that in 1676, he was prematurely gray, and was at that time really
      young, although from the color of his hair, appearing to be an old man.

      and b. in Windsor, Conn., Kov. 90, 1650.

      field, M appears by the following record of the Hampshire comity
      court:

      ^'Att the Gountie Court held at Springfield, Sept 80, 1684.
      "Nathaniel Wellere p'eented to this Sliezer Wellere of Westfeild late decessed, & made oath to the truth of
      the Inventory, & that if more estate shall appeare, he wil discover it to
      the Ckmntie Ckxrie, & he tbe sd. deceased dying intesUte, in his own selfe
      Knrther, power of administration is granted to ad. Nathaniel Wellere apon
      said estate: And the Inquest made upon sd. £lieser WeUeres death, was
      p^sented to this Co^S & is as followes:
      " Westfeild: 17 Aug. 1684.

      " We whose Names are und' written being desired by the Constable as a
      Jury according to Law, to give or Judgmt on the awful, amazing, and
      untimely death of £liezer Wellere, after due notice taken, we al unani-
      mously agree, that through the strength of temptation he became his own
      Execution', by hanging himself, al signes & circumstances fully concur-
      ring therein, & nothing appearing to the Contrary, to the best of or
      Judgm**, we suppose he might be dead twenty four houres before it was
      known.

      Thomas Noble, Josiah Dewey, Thomas Dewey.

      "The sevTall psons above subscribed, Sam^ Root excepted, who was
      from home, made oath to what is above written this 10th of Sept, 1684.
      Before me,

      JOHN PTNCHON. AmM:'

      The town of Weetfield, 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 < 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 Ideut Phelps and John Sacket, << to atend the
      Court upon the town account with respect to the difference
      between our town and SulBeld, and do what they can in the towne*
      behalf settling our bounds between us and SuiBeld.*'

      ''At a town meeting, Mch. 4, 169(, . . . there was
      Granted unto Tho. Noble, Sen**, upon the. plaine knowne by the
      name of tower miles plaine, the contents of halfe a mile Square,
      that is to say the Liberty of the Pines one this pice of Land
      for Boysume, 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, neoeBsaiily the main pursuit of every one in tbe
      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.

      A copy of the will of Thomas Noble, executed almost seven
      years before, and proved about seven months after his death,
      recorded in the office of the Hampshire Probate court [Vol. Ill,
      pp. 119-20], together with the inventory, is given below :

      "Tbe last will and testament of Tbomas Koble of Westflcld, in y«
      County of Hampshire, in y Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New
      England, being weak in body, but of perfect understanding.

      " Impr, 1 commend my soul into the hands of Christ my blessed Lord
      sad Saviour, and my body to a christian burial, in full faith of a blessed

      "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 raisd frames upon.

      "Item, I give the lot that the town gave me on the top of the hill ag*
      my house on tbe same fann, to all my six sons for a pasture.

      " Item, to my son James, a parcel of land and house upon it, on that
      fann that is fenced in, being six or seven acres more or less. .

      " Item, I bequeath the rest of this my farm lying bounded upon James

      "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 y fort meadow.

      " Item, I give unto my beloved wife, Hannah Noble, an acre of land
      ressrved 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
      ham we dwell on, and the other halfe of the house lot and bam to my son
      James, as also the thirds of all that I here wiU to my sons, and after her
      decease, I give my son James the whole of the house, houselot, and bam,
      and the acre re s e rved out of my son John's homelot.
      _ "Item, 1 five unto my four daughters, Hannah, Elizabeth, Maiy, and

      Rebecca, £90 apiece, to be paid tbem by my aons (viz.), Tbomaa, Mat-
      thew, Kai^, Luke, and James, to Mar}' and to Rebeccah aboat 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 And my wife
      fewel wood, and two load of hay ev«ry year, so long as she shall remain
      widdow.

      " Item, I give unto my wife also a cow and an heifer, also all my house-

      pose of to my two youngest daughters.

      "Item, my team (one yoak of oxen excepted), I give unto my three
      youngest sons, MariL, Luke, and James. And for the well and faithful
      execution of this my last will, I ordain and make my beloved wife Han-
      nah Noble and my son Thomas Noble Joynt executors, to defray all my
      lawfull debts, and for that end leave one yoak of working cattle, a yoak
      of fatt oxen, and the money in the Bay due to me, and all other dues, the
      which, when my debts are defray^, the remainder I would have to go to
      pay my daughter's portions. But in case the same should 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, An« Dom.,
      1697.
