References & notes
Service information from State of Ohio.1 Wound and hospital details from the Patient List.2 His gravesite on Findagrave has him in Company F, 11th Ohio Infantry, in error. Details from family genealogists.
His brother William, also in Company D, died of wounds 4 days before him in a hospital in Middletown, MD.
He named his fourth child (2nd son) William Ewing Noble (b. 22 Jan 1862) - possibly honoring the 30 Ohio Regiment's Colonel.
