Hello, I'm connected to the Jackson County, IL. group through JESSE GRIGG (Griggs) (m) REBECCA NOBLE d/o HENRY NOBLE I believe (but, have not proven) he is the son of John GRIGGS and Sarah MINOR. John is the son of MINUS GRIGGS. Henry NOBLE and Jesse GRIGG(S) came to Jackson County, Illinois in 1804. I believe from NC. In 1800 Jesse and family were living in Rutherford County,NC. Census Jesse Griggs is in Morgan, Rutherford, NC 1800 Page 112 Image 419 1-0001-00003-0001 Jesse GRIGG was born ca 1777 and died bet. 1841-1850 in Stoddard Co.,Missouri where they had moved between 1830-1840. Rebecca NOBLE GRIGGS is found living (1850) with a daughter Lucinda GRIGGS and her husband Amasa RICE. My Gr. Gr. grandfather ELIAS GRIGGS b. ca 1840-41 and another sister MARY GRIGGS are living in the house with them. Henry NOBLE I find him b. October 10, 1772 Maryland d. August 23, 1852 Otter Creek Jerseyville Jersey County,Illinois in 1850. Census 1850 Township 7 Range 12, Jersey, Illinois page 39 H/H 10/10 In 1818 and 1830 Census he is in Jackson County,IL. Though by 1850 he has children born in MISSISSIPPI. According to several he married Mary SWAZYE in adam County, MS. then , Nancy Ann Dougherty. I believe those are his 2nd and third marriages. According to his Obit. he had a total of 12 children. I was wondering if anyone else is related to my GRIGG(S) and NOBLE Families? Thank you, Robbie Griggs Landry
