THE NOBLE FAMILY
More than a century ago three brothers of the name of Noble came from England, and settled in Virginia. One of these had a son, named Stephen, who after marriage moved to Georgia, and subsequently to the Mississippi country, settling on Pearl river near the present town of Gallatin. He was a pioneer in that region, a man of means, an Indian fighter, one of those stalwart, sturdy characters, to whom civilization on this continent is so greatly indebted. He was twice married and the father of a large family of children, five of whom, three sons, - Edward P., Stephen F. and Abram W., - and two daughters, - Bitha and Asenith (Tillman), - became early settlers of Texas and have many descendants now living in this State.
Abram W. Noble, the younger brother of Stephen F., came to Texas in 1840, settling in Nacogdoches county, whence after a residence of a few years, he moved to Billum's creek, in Tyler county, thence in 1849 to Houston, and in 1865 to Kaufman county, where he died in 1893. He left one son, Edwin A. Noble, of Houston, and four daughters: Araminta, who was married to A. Wettermark, of Nacogdoches, Texas, and is now deceased;Mrs. Emily Spence,of Montgomery county; Mrs. Eugenia Drew, wife of O. C. Drew, of Houston; and Mrs. Louisa Marsden, wife of Charles Marsden, also of Houston. Mrs. Asenith Tillman, the sister of Edward P., Stephen F. and Abram W. Noble, died at Corsicana, in this State, where her descendants reside.
The three Noble brothers, Edward P., Stephen F. and Abram W., were men of plain ways, honest, earnest and industrious, faithful in all the relations of life, all of them having served their country in times of war, Edward P. and Stephen F. in the early days in Texas, taking part in the Cherokee war of 1838, and Abram W. in the late civil war, being a Captain in the Confederate army.
