Joseph Nobles and Rebecca

Joseph Nobles, b. abt. 1789 in South Carolina, died 1876 Jan 15 and was buried in the Nobles Cemetery at Pine in Washington Parish, Louisiana. His wife, Rebecca, was born about 1800 to 1802 in South Carolina and died 1879 August 16.

The children, as per the census appear to be:

  • Martha (Mary E.) b. 1830 Oct 27 in Mississippi, died 1892 Aug 20, married William Knight b. 1823-24, died 1879 Nov 2.
  • Lemuel or Leonard b. abt 1835 in Louisiana married Angeline
  • Amanda b. abt 1840 in Mississippi
  • Franklin b. abt 1841 in Mississippi
  • Frances G. b. abt 1844 in Mississippi

I have thus far located the family on the following censuses.

The 1840 census shows 1 male child about 5 to 10 and 1 female child 1 to 5 and 1 female 5 to 10.
