WILLIAM NOBLE, one of the
oldest farmers of Carroll County, Ohio, and one of the most progressive
citizens of Lee Township, was born Feb. 12, 1808, in East Bethlehem,
Washington Co., Penn. His father, William Noble, was a native
of County Leitrim, Ireland, where he married Eliza Scarlott, who bore
him the following named children: Catharine, James, David, Thomas,
Mary, William, John, Richard, Robert and Eliza. In 1796 the
parents came to America, settling in Washington County, Penn., where they
carried on farming, the father dying in 1818, and the mother in 1854.
They were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics the
father was a Democrat.
William Noble, the sixth child of the above
named parents, and whose name appears at the commencement of this sketch was
reared in his native county to the age of eighteen years, at which time of
life, in 1826, he came to Youngstown, now in Mahoning (then in Trumbull)
County, Ohio, and served three years as apprentice to the trades of
bricklayer and stone mason. In 1829 he came to Amsterdam, Jefferson
Co., Ohio. He worked at his trade in various places in eastern Ohio
until the year 1837, when he went to Iowa, and worked in the new and rising
towns along the Mississippi from Quincy to Dubuque. He bought the
first land he owned in 1829, and commencing life with nothing, but having
good health with industry and thrift, he has become the owner of 353 acres
of improved land in Lee Township.
On Aug. 10, 1843, he was married to Jane,
daughter of Job and Rebecca (Kelley) Tripp, of Cannonsburg, Penn, and
by this union were born four children, viz.: William T., George,
David and James. Mr. Noble was originally an
adherent of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but is now a consistent member
of the Presbyterian Church; politically he is a Jacksonian Democrat, always
voting that ticket on occasions of presidential and other governmental
elections; but in county and township matters he places his vote according
to his own convictions regardless of party.
