Records show Noble was baptized on 17 July 1760, so the date of birth on the burial plaque is not correct.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERAN
Noble Gunn, my 3rd great grandfather, served 3 years in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He is reported to have fought at the battles of Bemis Heights (Saratoga) and Monmouth, among others, and he spent the difficult winter in Valley Forge with Washington's army. He was in the company commanded by Captain Jenkins in the 13th Massachusetts Regiment commanded by Colonel Samuel Brewer, all under General Patterson of the Continental Army. His knee was broken "in the service of the Revolution," and he remained somewhat disabled for the rest of his life. He reported in his 50s that he was "not able to labor much."
Noble's first wife died soon after the marriage, and he then married her sister, Lucy Gleason (1771-1843) in 1786. At the time they were residents of Canaan, Litchfield County, Connecticut, but they went to New York State, just over the line from Connecticut, to have their marriage performed. Both parents of Lucy were living at the time of her marriage. Lucy was only 15 years old when daughter Lucy was born in December 1786. They had 10 children: Lucy, Charlotte, Abiatha, Esther, Olive, Noble King, Burrell, Westrall Willoughby, Martha Ann, and William Orrin.
Noble's mother was Esther King (1736-1790) and his maternal grandmother was Hester Noble. His father was Daniel Gunn (1730-1764) of the Thomas Gunn line (a founder of Dorchester, Windsor, and Westfield, who died in 1681). Noble had three brothers (Daniel, Hezekiah, and Moses) and one sister (Rhoda). The family lived in Litchfield County, Connecticut, for a number of years, then moved to Onondaga County, New York. In 1820 they moved to Ashtabula County, Ohio. It appears that Noble's brothers (also veterans of the War) moved west with him.
A stone plaque marks a place for Noble in the Old Marcellus Village Cemetery. Although Noble probably lived a time in Marcellus and he reportedly returned at least once after settling in Lenox, Ohio, he probably did not die in Marcellus and is not buried there.
