The 1840 Bedford County, Tennessee census lists James Noblin with two males to age 5, one male 5-10, two males 10-15, one male 30-40, one female to age 5, one female 5-10, and one female 30-40.
The 1850 Marshall County, Tennessee census, District 7 lists Samuel (45) with Cecilia (41) and children Alexander (20), Thomas (16), Samuel J. (14), Nancy (10), Francis M. (7), Ezechal P. (5), and Benjamin (3) living with them. Daughter Ann (18) lived on one side of them with her husband, James Franklin Sutton (22). Son Culing (Cullen) (22) lived on the other side of them with his wife, Martha J. (18) and son Henry B, five months old. The census lists William Noblin (24) in District 6 with wife Selar (Celia) (20), Rhamon (2) and Thomas M (1).
After carefully comparing census records, Noblin researchers have concluded that William is the son of Samuel and Celia.
During the 1850's Samuel and his entire family moved, via Missouri, to Randolph County, Arkansas where they settled. William stayed in Marshall County, Tennessee with his wife and family.
