He was born in England in 1632 and died January 20th, 1704, in Westfield, Massachusetts, the town which he established near Springfield, Massachusetts, September 1st, 1653. He first came to America in 1653, and on September 1st, 1657 he returned to England to marry his promised wife Hannah. They returned at once to America. There were ten children born to them, six sons and four daughters; from those ten children and their descendants, nine thousand descendants by the name of Noble alone were born in the United States up to the year of 1878. Dwight Noble, the father of Lucy E. Brower, son of Loren and Fanny Noble, who was born March 14th, 1833, came with his parents Loren and Fanny Boardman Noble to Yankee Settlement September 1853. He was a direct descendant of Thomas Noble 3rd, or grandson of the 1st Thomas Noble who was born in Westfield, Massachusetts.
Lucy Vanderpool Brower was born March 11, 1855 in Delaware County, Iowa, in a small settlement called Yankee Settlement, that some years later was named Edgewood. She lived here with her parents, Dwight Noble, her father and Lucy Lucretia Huff, her mother, until the war broke out in 1861. Her father passed away when she was between three and four years old and she with her mother and younger sister went to Dearborn, Michigan. They lived in Dearborn until she reached the age of eight years and then left and entered the public schools and the Tuition German School at Detroit, Michigan. She grew up and married Abram A.

Finally after her years of nursing she was forced to give it up owing to ill health, and she then entered the dressmaking field, where she worked her way up until she had her own establishment and was know to the trade as Madame Vanderpool and had in her employ from six to eight girls at all times.

Mr. Vanderpool was transferred to Big Springs, Texas, then Mrs. Vanderpool Brower went to Big Springs, Texas, and made her home with her son, Mr. Vanderpool, for eleven years.
In 1916, Mrs. Brower came to St. Cloud, Florida, after her son's two daughters were educated and could care for themselves and she kept house for him. On November 1st, 1917, she married Solon Brower who was born and reared in New York City. He was a veteran of the Civil War and an expert watchmaker.
