Hi, we have been researching the Noble family for over ten years now. The following is our brickwall. We would like so much to connect with anyone who descends from Sylvester Campbell Noble or/and his wife Nancy Chaplin Noble. On visits to the local cemeteries, we have found fresh flowers on family graves, telling us that living descendents must be nearby. Any info will be appreciated and we are always happy to share the info we have gathered on the Noble and related families.
