Introduction to the Enoch NOBLE/NOBLES Collection.

I want to thank Jan Parson for contacting me about this collection & her 
knowledge of so many people in Lenoir Co., NC & her love for history & 
genealogy.

This collection is the hard work of the late Edna Williams Curl & her late niece 
Jeanette Williams Corcoran. We would also like to thank Mr. M. R. Williams for 
preserving the collection and letting us view & copy what we could on our visit. 
Hopefully this is only the start. This is a work in progress.
