"Tracking John Goble of North Carolina"
by Corban Goble, Bowling Green, KY
John Goble of North Carolina lived his adult life in the latter part of the 1700s and early into the 19th century. And because he's on record as acquiring several land grants in Lincoln County, it's safe to assume that he was a farmer, an occupation followed by many of his descendants.
This John and his wife Peggy have become the subject of growing genealogical research by descendants and others of the Goble name. We're all looking for the clues that will prove John's origins as well as fleshing out the lines of his descendants. The earliest known facts about John and Peggy come from a small, ornately penned genealogy of 1814 that listed the eleven children of John's son Corban and his wife, Elisabeth Robinson. It said only that Corban was born April 22, 1761, in Wake County, NC, as the son of John and Peggy Goble. Elisabeth, the genealogy noted, was born in Maryland in 1775 and was the daughter of Jesse and Lydia Robinson. Corban and Elisabeth were married in 1793 in Lincoln County, and evidence indicates that the Robinsons also lived in that county. Corban's children are recorded as all being born between 1794 and 1813 "on & near the Catawba River in North Carolina State."
John Goble's first known land grant in Lincoln County was entered in 1778, and that and subsequent grants mostly lay along the Catawba River's south side. Corban and some of his descendants received grants for land across the Catawba River (north side) in Iredell County (now Alexander).
Unfortunately, that 1814 genealogy did not record any other children that John and Peggy Goble might have had. But descendants are perhaps 99 percent sure that Cornelius Goble was a younger son. In an 1802 Lincoln County deed, John transferred 100 acres of his land-grant property to his son Cornelius "for services done to me." Census records show that Cornelius lived in Lincoln and Iredell counties and then in Rabun and Gilmer counties of Georgia. He and some of his sons were winners in the 1830s Georgia lottery of former Cherokee Indian lands, and Cornelius's tract straddled Talona Creek in Gilmer County. His descendants, too, have spread out from their earlier homes in or near that county. Cornelius' sons were Corbin, Cornelius, John and William, and perhaps an Alexander. Daughters were Malinda Steel/Steed, Peggy Gentry, Nellie Barnes, Libby and/or Ibby (Isabella), and maybe a Lydia who married a Henderson. John Goble apparently died in Lincoln County about 1813, but neither will nor tombstone has been located. He might have been buried in a Goble family cemetery in what is now Alexander County and where, legend has it, most tombstones were removed at the time of the Great Depression to serve as a foundation for a moonshine still erected on a hard-to-reach island in the nearby Catawba River.
John's origins are not known with any certainty. Several descendants of the present day have said they were told years earlier that the family was of German lineage, and that's a possibility. However, researchers of the Goble name in the 1930-50s period speculated that John might have been a descendant of Thomas Goble, the Englishman who settled in Massachusetts in 1634.
