According to the Graves Family Association website, he m. Lois Jones, d. before Jan. 1787. He served in the militia in the Rev. War. After Jacob's death, Lois m (2) Joseph Williams, Sr., in 1791 in Duplin Co., NC.
The Sanford genealogy incorrectly calls Phebe Newton the daughter of Joseph Newton; she was the daughter of Jonah Newtown and Phebe Platt. The error is based upon a misinterpretation of a deed: "All the children united in a deed conveying their rights in the estate and lands of Joseph Newton, late of Milford, Feb. 10, 1808, to Jonah Newton (Milford Land Record 24:363 & 561)." Joseph Newton, who died at Milford 11 November 1807, was Phebe's brother, not her father, and the Jonah Newton to whom the land was transferred was probably her other brother.
Most show her as married, in error, to William HERRING. Renee Newman emailed, on October 19, 2012, that "The will of Isaac Newton has been transcribed wrong. It ia available online through familysearch.com Will Book A page 358 and the daughter is Phebe Herringtine, not Herring. I suppose since these were handwritten later and put in alpha order the person didn't understand that there were Herringtine's and Herring's in Duplin but they left "tine" off the transcript completely, even though it is clearly there. Her husband was William Herringtine of Duplin/Sampson and they sold their Sampson land in 1784 and moved beside the Newton's in New Hanover (Isaac witnessed their deeds there). They moved to Barnwell, SC and Hugh Roney and wife Elizabeth Newton, were their neighbors. I can go from there. Willaim was presumed to die in Perry County, MS but did not, he lived on and remarried and died in Desoto County, Ms. I have just found this recently. Researchers of this William have "lost" his wife and presume he was from a Herrington family in Craven County. They had sons Isaac, Enoch, daughter Jemima and a grandson Isaac N Stephens----"
Renee added that she was "a researcher/descendant of the Herrington family of Duplin/Sampson. Willaim and James Herrendine/Herringtine/Herrington, probably sons of Peter Herrendine of Duplin (land later in Sampson but granted in Duplin 1759)."

Harry P. Noble, Sr., when he was a young man in his early twenties, moved ot Wichita Falls, Texas to make his fortune. While working a short period for his uncles in Noble Hardware, he met and married Maizie C. VINCENT. Like many young couples they soon started a family. Their first child was a girl and they named her Della Laverne. Another daughter was born and they name her Bobbie Lou. Then on December 6, 1929 their first son was born and they named him Harry P. Noble, Jr. Meanwhile, Harry Sr. a native of San Augustine and Sabine Counties, had borrowed money and opened his own business, a small radio shop....By the winter of 1934 the (great economic) depression had such a stranglehold on the economy, Harry Sr. had to close his radio shop. Since he owned a 270 acre farm in San Augustine County, he and Maizie decided to move to East Texas and ride out the depression there. On March 31, 1935, Laverne's tenth birthday, the family crowded into their small Ford car with all their earthly possessions and began the 380 mile trip to Robert S. and Della Noble's house in the northwestern part of Sabine County. They arrived at 11 a.m. the next day. The family's dog, Ginger, had ridden on the running boards all the way...Dad worked at a number of jobs to keep us fed. He had slaughtered, butchered and sold beef; developed and operated a cream route that extended all the way to Hemphill, and opened a radio repair shop. By 1938 a branch of the REA had headquarted in San Augustine (and) electrical lines were being constructed and houses wired for electricity. That's when Dad and I appeared in attics across the countryside wiring houses.

She was a twin. Jeanine Baber writes that her parents were George A. Norwood and Georgia Standridge, and they lived in Altus, Oklahoma. Her listing at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976 confirms this, showing her parents as George Norwood and Georgia Ann Standrich. The informant on her death certificate was Lillian Hamilton.
John Norwood notes her DOD as 1798. I think this is in error:
1) Some sources show her as married in Oct. 1790, and that she was the mother of 10 children prior to her death. This would be more than a child a year. She may have been married earlier than 1790, however.
2) Her youngest three sons, and one daughter, were born in or after 1798 according to census records.
3) Her brother, John Norwood, died in 1798. Perhaps their records were confused.

Veteran of the American Revolution. There is apparently some debate whether it was this John Norwood, or another one, who rose to the rank of General. He married twice, his first wife's name is unknown. They had one son, Samuel Norwood b bef 1775 in Abbeville District, South Carolina and d 1830 Jackson County, Alabama. His second wife was Jane PICKENS and they had five children: John, Andrew, Daniel, William and Theophilus.
Funeral services for Mittie "Lena" Dickerson, 76, of San Augustine were held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, 1994, at the Wyman Roberts Funeral Chapel in San Augustine. Interment was at LIberty Hill Memorial Gardens.
She died Thursday, Nov. 17, at St. Luke's Hospital in Houston.
Mrs. Dickerson was a native and longtime resident of San Augustine County. She was a self-employed upholsterer.
Survivors: her husband, Joe Dickerson of San Augustine; four daughters, Mabel Birdwell of Carthage, Barbara Dickerson, Mary Lou Alford, and Jody Shutter; both of San Augustine; two brothers, R. C. Norwood of San Augustine and Naaman Parker of Beaumont; 14 grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren.
