(BRUNT) NOBLE, children: John L. NOBLE, Jackson D. NOBLE, Sarah F. NOBLE, Lydia NOBLE, Francis M. NOBLE and William T. NOBLE. The last two children were born in Kansas and the others in Indiana. This family is listed in the 1870 Neosho County census, Canville Township, pg 114. I cannot find this family after this date, but in 1880 the two youngest children are back in Indiana living with BRUNT relatives. However, family information says that Elizabeth (BRUNT) NOBLE died in Kansas on 31 March 1883. What became of the rest of the family? James E. NOBLE and family are listed in the Neosho County census in 1870, Canville Township, and in 1880 in Chetopa Township, pg 140. Wife, Anna L. (SWINDELL) NOBLE, children, Elton NOBLE, Talbert or Colbert NOBLE, Alfred NOBLE, Delia or Alles NOBLE, Eliza NOBLE and John H. NOBLE (who married Katherine E. CHICKADANZ in 1907). I would like to know if there are any descendants of this family still in Kansas? Alsesta Jane NOBLE married John C. Sharp in the 1860's in Indiana. They came to Neosho County, Kansas also, but did not make it into the census. Around 1868 John was killed by a neighbor (with an axe blow to the head) and in 1870 Alsesta Jane was back in Indiana living with her family and with her two young children born in Kansas. I would like to find out more about this family and the murder which must have gained some publicity. ----------------------------------------------- ORCUTT...PIXLEY Ron Miller (ron.miller@pfrd.ocgov.com) 13 January 2003 Looking for information on Mary Jane Pixley, born to Berlin Thomas PIXLEY and Mary Jane ORCUTT in Neosho County, 27 April 1877.
