Historical References
"NOBLE. An English family of this name settled in East Lothian as subvassals of the family of de Vallibus (Vaux) at the end of the twelfth century. William Nobilis held part of the lands of Carmilton under William de Vallibus (Neubotle, 117). He was succeeded by his son Radulph who confirmed his father's grants (ibid., 118). Radulphus Nobilis witnessed a grant by Vinianus de Mulineys to the Hospital of Soltre, 1198-1234 (Soltre, p. 11), and between 1214-30 he witnessed an agreement between the monks of Neubotle and Adam Malherb, lord of Morharn ( (Neubotle, p. 67). A charter by Radolphus le Noble and Thomas le Noble, his son, of the lands of Ylviston, i.e. Eliston, in Edinburghshire, to Sir David Graham, was confirmed by Alexander m, 1253 (Nisbet on RR.). Thomas le Noble and Patrick le Noble of Edinburghshire rendered homage, 1296 (Bain, n, p. 199). In 1337 the lands of Garleton-Noble were forfeited. John Nobil appears as a religious of Neubotle in 1398 (LSC., 110). Vilyam Nobile was chamberlain and procurator of the abbot of Arbroath at Inverness in 1464 (RAA., n. 156), and the Nobles of that town may be descended from him. In 1467 the Nobles of Ferm had a charter of the lands of Ferm, now called Coates, near Rutherglen (Nisbet), Alexander Nobill and John Nobill were murdered in Inverness in 1497 (Mackintosh, Inverneisiana, p. 165), and William Nobill was tenant of Culcowe, Ardmanoch, 1504 (ER., xn, p. 662). Patrick Nobill had a remission for his share in holding Dumbarton Castle against the king, 1489 (APS., xn, p. 34). Robert Nobill who witnessed a sasine in favor of Mathew Stewart, son of the earl of Lennox, 1490 (Lennox, n, p. 140), is probably Robert Nobill in the burgh of Dunbertane mentioned in 1495 (REG., p. 492). A family of the name held land in Dumbartonshire in the seventeenth century (Retows, Dumbarton). Alan Nobill was tenant in barony of Stobo, 1512 (Rental). See MACNOBLJE. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
