Born to Enoch Noble and Mary (Polly) Brown Jarman  on August 21,  1850, she 
married James Williams, the youngest child and son of Col. John & Ann Nancy 
Ballard Humphrey Williams.  Susan married James on March 19, 1894.  They had 
eight children:  Annie Blanche, Olive Branch, John Enoch, Mary Roberta, 
Caroline, Benjamin Franklin, Baby Boy, and Paul Clayton.
 
James, her husband, was not a businessman.  They lived in the Woodington 
community until James lost the homestead by failing to pay a $500.00 debt.  
Colonel John Williams deeded the land to Susan Caroline Noble Williams and 
children, bypassing James, so the family would have a place to live (Frog 
Level Farm where Clayton Williams lived.)  Per conversations with Milton 
Roscoe Williams and per the ""Heritage of Lenoir County 1981," page 428.  She 
died Sept. 22, 1916 and is buried in the Col. John Williams Cemetery.
 
Tombstone reads:
Mother
wife of James Williams
born Aug 21, 1850
died Sept 22, 1916
Shed not for her the bitter tear
Nor give the heart to vain regret
Tis but the casket that lies here
The gem that filled it sparkles yet.
