LOL Jan, I swear I'm related somehow to just about everyone that came through Jefferson County. Noah's wife Mary Bullock comes from my Oard and Bullock lines. Oard/Bullock marriages were pretty common. Mary's parent's were Samuel L. Bullock, Sr. and Nancy A. Oard.

There is a biography booklet written by Noah Johnston in the genealogy section of the Mt Vernon library. Apparently Noah was known for his memory and recolllection ability. I read it several years back although there was nothing that pertained to what I was searching for at that time. Nancy Oard, was she a daughter of Jonathan Wells? or grandaughter?
