According to The Family of Thomas Noble of Westfield, Massachusetts by Lucius Boltwood, Reuben Noble (#107-page 60) was born in New Milford, CT on Feb. 15, 1755 and died in Mount Desert, ME on Oct. 20, 1818. Reuben was the son of Nathan (1722-1777- at the Battle of Saratoga - see DAR membership records) and Mary Gray, who was the son of John (b. Westfield, 1685-1773) and Abigail Buck, who was the son of John (b. Springfield, MA, 1662-1714) and Mary Goodman, who was the son of Thomas (c. 1632-England- 1704, Westfield, MA) and Hannah Warriner. You may find postings and family trees that give you the father of Thomas but this has not been proved and is likely incorrect. To read more about the descendents and your ancestors you can find the Boltwood book (1) on film through the Mormon Family History Centers, (2) at many major libraries, and (3) reprinted (original printing was 1878). There are also many resources where you can learn about the Merrill, Goodman, Buck, and Warriner families, as well as the early settlers of Westfield (Springfield), MA, New Milford and Hartford, CT, and Norway, Gray, and Falmouth, ME. We currently have an internet group made up of the descendents of Thomas Noble and Hannah Warriner and hope to have a reunion in Connecticut in a few years. See also the Noble surname at GenForum.com.
