Other information:
James Noble and Ruth had 2 children, one of whom died young.3,6 He had 3 children with Catharine Higley.3,6,5 James's son Daniel married Rebecca Stebbins, daughter of Joseph; probably the daughter of Joseph Stebbins' son Joseph.3
Acc. to the article in the NEHGR (vol. 6) Thomas had 5 children, and James died 20 Jan 1702/3, but if that is right, the whole descendency of James is wrong. However, neither the Noble Genealogy, nor the Westfield Deaths in the NEHGS database have a James who died on that date1,7 The deathdate of 22 Apr 1712 is contradicted by the dates of the court procedures concerning the probate. Letters of administration were granted unto the widow Catharine Noble and Thomas Noble on 28 Mar 1712. An inventory of the estate "of James Noble of Westfield, deceased Jany 18, 1711/12" was taken on 26 Feb.
