- Noble 6, b. at Pawlet, Vt., April 3, 1777.
He had real business ability and before his untimely end had established a very extensive business and was rapidly acquiring a fortune. The property which he left rehabilitated the fortunes of the family which had suffered from various causes dating from the destruction of Captain Stewart's Inn at Ticonderoga. Noble moreover was a man of high principle and from his letters one can see that he always acted from high motives. He possessed a magnificent voice and his singing made a sensation. Very old men, whose memories went back to his time, told his nephew, Ex-Governor Stewart, that for purity and beauty they had never heard a voice that approached it. He died unmarried at Middlebury, Vt., May 17, 18 14, from an attack of typhoid fever. (Severence)
