[Source for below text: Noble History by Marguerite R. Chambless of Montgomery, Alabama. Compiled 1977. Most of the Chambless information is wrong but, I thought I'd list it here anyway.]
Samuel Noble Sr., Captain, was from England, or of English descent. Newspaper account states that Sam was of Welch descent (Probably migrated from England to Wales (my conjecture). [this is not correct, a few sources list Sam as being born in North Carolina, also he did not own a fleet of ships.]
The Nobles were among the first families to settle at Williamsburg, Va., and later moved to Wilmington, N.C., Onslow County. Captain Samuel Noble owned and operated a fleet of trading vessels which sailed between Wilmington, N.C. and the West Indies.
One source, which needs further research, states that Samuel and Margaret Christian had eleven children. (The following information may not be relevant, however, I am placing it here in order that some of you may find it helpful in further research. Ten boys and one girl)
Besides George and Samuel, it is possible that there were other brothers in Huntsville or Hazel Green [Alabama] at the same time.
This information is from Madison County Records by Jones, the volume and page no. will follow.
Vol. 201 pg. 20- Jesse D. Noble and his wife Mary D. of Tuscaloosa bought land in Huntsville Jan. 30, 1822.
Sannoner Noble witnessed a will October 1818. Vol. 181 pg. 20.
Benjamin H. Noble was witness to a will July 13, 1841. Vol. 179, pg. 85 (He probably was a son of one of the other Nobles or could have been a brother but witnessed at a later date).
Record also shows Samuel [Samuel Noble (3)] buying land in 1819 which a Mr. Bell presumed to sell him without a clear title, as Mr. Bell's brother was rightful owner. After Sam's death suit was revised by Ezekiel Moore and Henry King, adm. For Sam Noble, Deceased. Vol. 138 pg 48-49.
