		M	i	John Nobles 1, 2 was born 28 Dec 1790 in South Carolina. He died about 12 Mar 1855 in near Magnolia, Pike County, Alabama. 1850 census, Pike county, Alabama, page 192 John, 60 SC, farmer, $500 Pharaby, 60 VA Aley, 36 NC Elizabeth Thornton, 17, GA next door: J M Nobles, 31, farmer, SC Susannah, 28 SC Feriby, 10 GA Georgia Ann 7 GA Columbus 4 AL Britain 3 AL John 1 AL Two Nobles mariages, possible relatives.  Probably not kids as only three kids were listed in his will: JAMES MCGOWAN MARY NOBLES  AUGUST 27, 1840  Muscogee   HEZEKIAH NOBLES FRANCES W. MULLOY  DECEMBER 30, 1838  Muscogee   Information received from Betty Jean Neathery, another descendant - July 2002: Number 1:  John Nobles died near Magnolia, AL (the actual town was in Macon Co AL, but he died in Pike County outside Magnolia) on or about March 12, 1855.  This is according to the admin of his estate that I found in Pike County several years ago.  My proof is a receipt for a coffin made: "James M. Nobles Admin of John Nobles Dec'd Dr (debit) to F J Stevens for making a Coffin and Box - - - March 13th 1855 - - - $10.00" "Receve. of Ja's M Nobles Admin of the Estate of John Nobles dec'd ten dollars in full of all demand       October 2, 1855 (signed) F J Stevens" (Pike County Probate Court, Book 24, pg 293, photocopied by B W Neathery, 15 May 1997) Number 3:  John Nobles was born 28 December 1790 according to an affadavit he signed in Pike County, AL on 11 August 1851.  He was trying to help his mother obtain a pension for his father's Rev War service.  (transcript of Hezekiah Nobles, Revolutionary War Claim W 6844, sent to B W Neathery by William H. "Bill" Bailey, Jr. [now dec'd] 02 December 1988) Just a few items to whet your appetite!  Bill Bailey also shared with me much about John's mother's family - the Nicholson and Whitehead families - that I'll be glad to share with you, if you'd like. Unfortunately, I still haven't found out anything about the siblings and parents of Pharaby Haygood.  She's one of my mysteries! In 1998, I did a book for our family that shows many of the descendants of John and Pharaby through their son, James M. Nobles (my ancestor).  I'm going to check your website again to see if I've gotten Eliza's children right!  The info I have on her was obtained from Bill Bailey.  Bill was a descendant of John's brother, Luke Nobles.
