It has been widely reported that Noah, Jr. was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1804, but, I have been unable to locate a primary source for this. According to the 1850 Indiana Census Noah was born in Kentucky. However, census records of some of his children, in 1880, list everything from, Ohio, Kentucky to England as the place of his birth. There is only primary source records that show that his father lived in Montgomery Co., Ohio and not Hamilton and Ashtabula counties as have been reported in some genealogies.

By 1811 he was an early settler of Connersville Township in Indiana along with his parents Noah and Elizabeth Beauchamp.

He appears to have married twice. First to Lucinda McCormick on May 23, 1823 and then to Francis Laura Ransdell in Harrison Co., Indiana on March 15, 1827.

Noah was a soldier in the Black Hawk War serving from June 19, 1832 to August 17, 1832 with the 1st Reg. of 2nd Brigade of the Illinois Mounted Volunteers. He was in Capt. Nott's Company. At the time he enlisted he was living in Edgar Co., Illinois where he had purchased 80 acres of land on June 6, 1831.

There is also a stone with his name on it at Riverside Cemetery in Clinton, Vermillion Co., Indiana, along with his wife's. It is not known whether his remains were transferred or not. (See this memorial here.)
