| ANGUS
NOBLE was born in 1803, in Scotland. He was
brought to America by his father, Alexander, in 1806.
They landed in Baltimore and settled in Columbiana county,
Ohio, in 1807, after having lived in Pittsburg one year.
He settled on the farm now the Adams family and consists of
160 1/4 acres. At that time it was wild land and it
took great patience and much labor to clear it for tilling.
He raised a large family and died happy in the thought that
his dream in bettering the condition of his children had
been realized. This noble pioneer and his wife are
lying side by side in the McIntosh Presbyterian church yard.
Angus married Christina Noble, and had five
children: Alexander died in the service of his
country while a member of Company B, One Hundred and
Forty-third regiment, Ohio volunteer infantry; Elizabeth,
deceased; Jennet, deceased; John A. and
Laughlin, who with their families, are living on said
farm. |
VALENTINE
NOLD, the progenitor of the American branch of the
Nold family, was born in the town of Paltz, Germany.
Emigrating to this country in 1760, he settled in Bucks
county, Penn. Where there he married and had one son
whom they named Jacob. Jacob married and became
the father of five children named: Henry, married
Miss Beethel; Jacob, married Catharine Zigler;
John, married Hannah Weisler; Susana, wife
of George Slutter; and Barbara, who married
John Moyer. In 1817 he came to Columbiana county
and located in Fairfield township, in the vicinity of
Leetonia, remaining there until his death in May,
1834. He was a farmer and minister of the gospel,
having been the first bishop of the Mennonite church in
Ohio. With the exception of Mrs. John Moyer, of
Mahoning county, all of these children have passed away,
after having married and raised large families, which are
now scattered over the country. Jacob Nold, the
second son, was born in Bucks county, Penn., in 1798, and
came with his parents to Ohio. Upon the death of his
father he succeeded to all of the original homestead farm,
together with a grist-mill, which was one of the first
mills erected in the county. It still stands.
Jacob passed his life on the homestead farm, his death
occurring Sept. 30, 1864. In the spring of 1882 he
espoused Miss Catharine Zeigler, daughter of
Abraham Zeigler, of Butler, Penn. Twelve of the
fourteen children born to them grew to maturity; they are
John, Abraham, Jacob, Samuel, David, George,
Elizabeth, Susannah, Mary, Barbara, Catherine, deceased;
Nancy, Allivia, deceased; and Sarah.
They are members of the Mennonite church, of which their
father was a deacon. Abraham Nold was
born September 28, 1826, on his father's farm in Fairfield
township, and here obtained all the schooling at his
command. He assisted his father to clear the farm and
lived at home until his marriage to the eldest daughter of
Solomon Sitler. The marriage ceremony uniting
Abraham Nold and Sarah Sitler
was solemnized in 1848. After his marriage he at once
took possession of a farm in Salem township, on which he
resided for three years, after which he removed to the
property which he has since resided on. He has made
many improvements in the farm and now has a very fine
property. Mr. Nold has been identified
with the growth and development of the town since its
organization, and is one of its most honored citizens.
Of the seven children born to him all but two are living:
Solomon E., Enos, deceased; Uriah S., Emma,
Elizabeth, Ida, and Franklene, also deceased.
The family are communicants of the Mennonite church.
Mr. Nold takes an active interest in politics and has
held several minor offices under the republican party.
