a. Note:   Marriages of Blount County, TN 1795-1859, Marriages, 1795-1859, Page 57. performed by Anderson In "Presbyterian Church in the United States, Vol 7" by Joseph Wilson 1865 page 1?2 Noel, E. P. Was born in North Carolina in 1804. His parents removed to Anderson County, Tenn., and gave their son such an education as that portion of our country afforded. Then in our family's typed story "Life of a Pioneer Minister' Wife, talks with Mother Jane" by Ellen Noel Woolfolk, abt 1900. page 8 "How did Grandfather get his education?" asked Robert presently, changing his tactics. "Well, I can tell you that. His father was willing for him to go to school if he would first do his share of work daily. This was a great favor, but he was the youngest, and had a desire to learn. So he used to get out of bed at day-break and plow or do other work until school time, and then start out on a three mile run to school, with a book in hand to study on the way. His road lay through the pine woods, and in the evening he would stop and gather pine knots to study by at night." "So the blazing torch was the kind of midnight oil he burned." " Just so; though I don't think it ever lasted until midnight. He had to get up too early in the morning to waste much sleeping -time. But I can tell you that the blazing pine knot has lighted many a great and good man along the pathway of knowledge. Afterward he paid his own way through college at Maryville, Tenn., as many another poor boy has done. He learned the tailor's trade to work at in vacations........." page 45 "This is the story of a little child that was burned to death. It happened in our early married life, in 1832, I think (Robin's note; he was assigned to Jasper, Tenn in 1833). We were traveling in the Cumberland mountains (Robin's note: Anderson County area?) in Tennessee. A niece of your Grandfather's was with us. We had be to Presbytery (Robin's note: Maryville?) and were on our way home..... " ********************** December 6, 2000 Nancy McMullen Dear Mrs. McMullen: PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (U.S.A) OFFICE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Thank you for your Minister Biographical Search request and payment ($1 0.00 check) dated November 24. Enclosed is a biographical sketch of Ephraim P. Noel, from the Presbyterian Historical Almanac for 1865. I have also enclosed his entry from the Ministerial Directory of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., 1861-1941, and a page from the General Assembly minutes of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (Old School), 1864, which also supports the early 1864 death date given in the Historical Almanac. I do not know where the Ministerial Directory got its family information or middle name for Mr. Noel, and I suspect that the location "Raymond" in that entry may be a misprint for Richmond in Ray County. Statistical reports in earlier General Assembly minutes give the following locations for E. P. Noel, which more or less substantiate the information in the Historical Almanac sketch: 1833: Licentiate (licensed to preach but not yet fully ordained), Union Presbytery, Tennessee 1834: Missionary, Union Presbytery, living in Jasper, Tenn. (Apparently he was ordained by Union Presbytery, not Holston Presbytery as stated in the sketch or Boston Presbycry as given in your letter. Both Union and Holston presbyteries were in east Tennessee.) 1836: Serving church at Knoxville, Ill. 1837: Member of Union Presbytery, not serving a church, no address give 1838: Member of Schuyler Presbytery, Ill., not serving a church, no address given. (The PCUSA had split into "Old School" and "New School" assemblies in 1837. Noel was now with the Old School.) 1839-42: No report 1843: Member of Harmony Presbytery, Mo. (New School), no church listed. 1846: Serving Plum Grove church, Richmond, Mo. (Lexington Presbytery, New School) 1849: Living in St. Louis, no church listed. 1850: Serving Union church (New School), St. Louis County 1851: Serving Troy church, Mo. (New School) 1862: Mt. Noel and Troy church are now in Old School assembly. 1863: Serving Troy church (last report before his death) The Historical Almanac sketch (which was reprinted in a shorter form in Nevin's Encyclopaedia of the Presbyterian Church [1884]) seems to be the source for the information on Mr. Noel that you gave in the letter accompanying your request. Judging from the material given earlier, the family information you cited seems to have misinterpreted a few things. The Bolivar, Mo. church was not in Greene County; Noel organized two churches--one in Greene County (probably the Mt. Zion church near Springfield) plus the Bolivar church in Polk County. Contrary to the interpretation in the Ministerial Directory, it appears that the Harmony Presbytery was not organized in Indian Territory, but was organized in Missouri including two ministers who had formerly been missionaries to the Indians. (The 1843 New School General Assembly minutes list other ministers of Harmony Presbytery with the addresses Springfield, Bolivar, Little Osage, and Deepwater, all in Missouri. ) Rev. Mr. Dodge's charge" where Mr. Noel preached while being treated near Fort Scott must have been the Little Osage church in what was then Bates County (now Vernon County), Missouri. This church is listed with Nathan P. Dodge as pastor in 1843 and 1846. Noel's church in Ray County, Mo., was Plum Grove, not Plant Grove as stated in your lette I hope this information will be useful.

  Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, on Clear creek in the southwestern part of the township, was one of the earliest Baptist Churches in that country. It was founded by William Tatum and Elijah Williams, and for many years was the only church in that neighborhood, and was attended by people for many miles around. The first Presbyterian Church organized in all southwest Missouri was the Mount Zion Church at Cave Spring. It was instituted by the Rev. Ephraim P. Noel, on the nineteenth of October, 1839. Mr. Noel was pastor until 1842, and was then succeeded by the Rev. G.A.M. Renshaw, who was pastor till his death in 1857.

  CAVE SPRING.
  The village of Cave Spring, is the only one in Cass township. It stands on the southeast corner of section 4, township 30. The town takes its name from a large spring flowing out of a sort of cave on Asher creek near by. The first house in Cave Spring was built by John Grigsby, a farmer and trader and an old settler, who afterward removed to California and died there. The house was of logs. The first store was established in 1848, by Alfred Staley. It contained probably $500 worth of goods, chiefly staple articles, which had been "wagoned" in from Boonville.

  A Brief Historical Sketch of Central Congregational Church
  Thirty or forty families consisting of about 175 individuals, spent the winter of 1836-37 at "Log City," a temporary village three and a half miles northwest of the location where the city was to stand. On February 15, 1837, a meeting was held with Rev. John Waters presiding. At this meeting, it was resolved to form a church. More meetings were held on the 17th, 21st, and 25th of February. The date of February 25th, 1837 is regarded as the date of organization of the church. The ministers officiating at the February 25th meeting were Rev. George W. Gale, Rev. John Waters and Rev. Ephraim P. Noel. Rev. Noel was appointed by the Presbytery of Schuyler, Illinois. Elders and deacons were installed on April 9, and the church became fully organized with 81 members, 63 having united by letter of transfer and 18 on profession of faith. The first meetings were held in the home of Mr. Hugh Conger, but after several months, they moved to a two-room building in Log City, which served as both school and meeting house. By autumn of 1837, so many had completed homes in the new village of Galesburg that worship services were moved to a store building in Galesburg. Then in the fall of 1838, the first Knox Academy building was finished and, for several years, it was used for the religious meetings.
