Victor, Thanks. I saw Hugh in the deed abstracts but he was the only one I saw. In Darlington Co, SC there was a John and Elizabeth Phillips with a son John William Rigby Phillips in the early 1800's. Some people think that John was from Lenoir Co - Eagle Swamp area which is right on the Lenoir/Craven/Pitt border. Thought it was worth looking for a Phillips and a Rigby in the same place prior to Darlington Co. There were several intermarriages between the Allens of Swift Creek and the Phillips family in the 1790's and getting the feeling there may have been an earlier intermarriage.

Nobles; born Oct. 7, 1799 in Lenior Co. N. Carolina. He married Clarkie Ann Lord who arrived from Ireland with her family. He settled with Clarkie Ann Lord in Worth Co. Georgia. I noticed while researching this genweb site there is mention by richard Nobles of a brother; William who moved away and he had not seen or heard from him in fifteen years. I believe this is my William M. Nobles. Any NOBLES Family who has research on the NOBLES family, please help me find him and his father. I noticed a Last Will of Kinsey; who was a Nobles and had re-married and it has a William as her son mentioned in the Will. Could this be my William M. Nobles?
