Good Morning All:
Tis a bit chilly here on the shore--"frost on the fragmites" and all
that kind of stuff--but after warming my hands on the computer and reading
your note I consulted a work (which we carry) called Colonial Maryland
Soldiers and Sailors, 1634-1754 by Henry Peden and found an entry for Isaac
Noble listing him as a "probable soldier"--no rank given who must have
served before "1682" as he was paid out of an assessment levied by the
General Assembly "for the public good" in 1682. Peden gives as his reference
ARMD 7:443 which translates to the series of volumes--Archives of Maryland,
Vol. 7, page 443.

Hope this is of some help. Hope all are well.
