The record of his age was in his Father's Bible the last time he saw it which Bible was then in the possession of his brother then and now; if alive a resident of Maryland. He has no other record of his age but as above stated. He was living in Maryland in 1777 when he enlisted in the Army of the Virginia Continental troops as a private. The regiment was number two and was commanded by Stephens as Colonel and the Regiment formed part of a Brigade commanded by General McClean his given name not now recalled. He was attached to David Lord's Company when he first entered the Army. After he enlisted the troops were moved from place to place until the battle at Germantown. He was in that battle and received a very serious wound in the thigh - he was wounded in attempting to save our Collours which had been thrown away by the Ensign who had charge of them. After he was wounded he was carried to the hospital where he remained until near Christmas suffering all the time with his wound. After he recovered so as to be able to perform duty he went back to join and did join the same regiment he had first enlisted in. When he reported himself as fit for duty the Captain informed him that he might have gone home as he had been reported dead by his orderly. We wintered the winter of 1777 + 1778 at Valley Forge. In April following he volunteered in McLean's Company of spies to guard the roads leading from Philadelphia in order to prevent the passage of the British from Philadelphia in to the country. The British having at this time the possession of Philadelphia. While in this Company we had several little skirmishes and several races after and from the British. He remained in McLean's company until the British retreated from Philadelphia at which time we, that is McLean's Company, pursued them so close that they took prisoner four British officers with their waiters at the wharf before they had succeeded in getting on board. We were ordered from here to join the main army under General Washington who was in pursuit of the British through the Jersies to Monmouth. After we joined them, which was near Monmouth, he then saw Nobles was placed on the front guard where we continued until the morning of the battle of Monmouth at which time we became a rear guard to receive prisoners. After the Battle of Monmouth the whole army marched under General Washington to the White Plains in the state of New York. There he volunteered in Phebickers Infantry to guard the out from New York in to the country the British having at this time possession of New York. While we were on this duty we had frequent skirmishes not deemed material to mention. This closed the Campaign of 1778 or the first part of 1779. We built winter quarters in the New Jersey where we remained that winter. In the Spring of 1779 we marched from our winter quarters to a place called the Cloves in the highlands of New York. There he volunteered in Capt Shelton's Company of Volunteers in Wayne's Infantry. We were stationed on North River eight miles above two forts Stoney Point and Planks Point as they're called. Our business here was to guard the River. During this summer we stormed Stoney Point and took possession of the Fort and it's property, arms, and about five hundred prisoners. During the storming of this fort General Wayne was wounded and Major Flousie (?) took command. After the battle was over the major ordered the British flag to be took down and he then said Noble had the honour and satisfaction of taking it down himself. We sent the prisoners off and we remained until we burnt the fort and everything in it that was of any value. We went from the fort about six miles south west where we were stationed to watch the movements of the enemy and guard the coast at this place. We remained till some time in the winter, the snow being nearly knee deep. The troops stationed here were generally dismissed myself amongst the rest. I went home and remained there in Maryland during the 1780 then married and moved to Red Stone in Pennsylvania - lived there three years then moved to Kentucky where I lived until the year 1817 when I moved to Missouri. I received from Capt Lord a paper or certificate of enlistment and service for the three years, which I have lost or misplaced. I further state that all the time I served in the Revolution I served in the capacity of a Private, that my sevices as a soldier of the Revolution was performed from the beginning of the year 1777 and the latter part of the winter of 1780 and I further state that I served as a Private in the revolution for at least two years and ten months. The said Noble states that he has no written discharge now in his possession nor does he recall to have ever received any except the above named certificate from Capt Lord. He has no documentary evidence of his service in this country but he refers to Hampton L. Boon a clergyman who resides in the neighborhood the said Noble lived in until a few months since and to James H. Bush as persons acquainted with him and who can speak as to his veracity and character and services as a soldier of the Revolution.
