It just occurred to me that Lavisa Noblett who married John Davis in 1844 may be the widow of Moses Abraham Noblett who die prior to 1840, in then Burke Co., NC. She was Lavisa "Lavicy" Vaughn. She married Moses Abrahm Noblett, bond 6 May 1822 Burke Co., NC with bondsman Thomas Noblett. She is widowed by the 1840 census where she appears as head of household, with 1 son and two daughters. The two daughters listed as Davis may actually be Nobletts. Lavisy and Moses Abraham Noblett's daughter> Alza, married Michael C. Hoyle, bond 16 January 1851 McDowell Co., NC. Bondsman W. R. Gilliam.
