Nobel LAD and 2 Negroes in 1759 ROWAN COUNTY, NC TAX LIST - (Which Noble is this??)

Notes for NOBLE LADD:

According to Robert Carroll in The Heritage of Stokes County, NC, Noble Ladd is listed in the Patriotic Index as having rendered partiotic service during the Revolutionary War.

Noble Ladd was one of the leading men of Stokes county, NC. He owned a large Plantation on the Dan river, where he was an overseer of slaves, and raised large crops of tobacco and was very likely a wealthy man. He helped supply the American Army during the Revolutionary war in its fight for independance from England. Most Ladd researchers have Noble b. ca. 1731. Virginia land records show that the birth date of ca. 1710 is most accurate. The land records also indicate that Noble was married before and that he probably abandoned his family and married Judith Dameron on the way to NC. Noble is listed as furnishing supplies for the army during the Revoultionary War. He was recongnized as a leading citizen of Stokes County. See Albemarle County Wills & Deeds - 1738-1752.

It is possible that there were two Noble Ladds in Goochland and Albemarle counties VA in the mid 1700's.

This line of thinking has Noble the s/o of Amos and Mary (Perkins) Ladd as being born ca. 1710 and marrying a Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Davis. Those holding to this theory believe that Noble, the s/o Amos and Mary (Perkins) ladd, died about 1760,

in Albemarle county, VA. The advocates, of two Noble Ladds, believe that the Noble who married Judith Dameron and who moved to, what is now, Stokes county, NC was the s/o Noble and Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Davis Ladd, and that he was the Noble who was born ca. 1731 in Goochland county, VA. It is well documented that the Noble who married Judith Dameron died in 1780 in Stokes County, NC.

Please note that in the following testament Noble expresses concern (three times) that his wife will not remain a widow. This is a strong indication that Judith was still a relative young woman. This is yet another clue that Judith was not Noble's first wife.
