George [Noble] and Sam [Samuel Noble (3)] came to Hazel Green [Alabama] from Wilmington, N. C. together (probably with other brothers) George died in 1816 and Samuel Noble and Thomas McGehee were executors of estate. (Thomas McGehee of the same family as Abner McGehee in Montgomery, Al., and his mother was a Scott.)
Sam [Samuel Noble (3)] and his wife Elizabeth Scott and brother George and family came to Alabama Territory between 1810 and 1815 and lived near Hazel Green- about five miles north of Huntsville (Andrew Jackson is supposed to have named Hazel Green).
Sam Noble died Dec. 18, 1822, at Hazel Green. He left no will but his daughter Margaret Christian DeVotie was executor of estate with Colonel Henry King and Ezekial Moore. (King was a cousin of Vice. Pres. of U.S., William Rufus King)
Margaret tried to settle estate in Marengo County, where she was living, in 1838. The estate of Sam Noble called for all perishable goods to be sold except slaves. Perishable goods to be sold by Mr. Kincaid and another man. (Record shows that Samuel owed his brother George a sum of Money, which he could not pay at the death of George, Samuel issued a note in favor of Elizabeth, George's widow, on 1 Jan. 1820. Samuel died owing his deceased brother's heirs. Some years later when George's estate was in it's final settlement a letter was sent regarding this note, to Samuel's heirs, then living in Montgomery. Pg 65 Vol. 3, naming them as follows. Margaret, George, Volney, Franklin, Jackson and Jefferson,, all his heirs and only children who reside in Montgomery, state aforesaid, and also Elizabeth Noble his widow. Franklin, Jackson and Jefferson under 21. (pg 65) (This is probably an error, as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were the two older sons according to their birth dates.)
My Mother [Marguerite R. Chambless' mother], Katie Elizabeth Reynolds, great, great, grand daughter of Samuel Jr. and Elizabeth, owns a solid Mahogany Banquet table for dining, which was given to Volney, her grandfather, from the Noble estate. Whether Margaret gave it to him from estate, or whether it was given earlier is unknown.)
When Sam and Elizabeth and other members of the family came to Hazel Green, many other planters were coming also, as the beautiful rich land there was attracting many wealthy planters. Sam and Wife came when their sons George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Volney and Andrew Jackson were small boys. It is believed that Thomas Jefferson was born in Alabama.
