>
> JOHN NICCUM. For more than six decades the Niccum family have been useful

> has been in Waltz township, though the name is not without popular
> significance all over the county. The best known member of the family is
> Mr. John Niccum, who recently retired from the office of sheriff of Wabash
> county and who for two years served the people with an efficiency and
> fidelity to duty which set a high standard in the administration of that
> important office.
>
> The founder of the family in this section was Charles Niccum who died in
> 1884, and was one of the early settlers. He located on section thirty-six
> in township twenty-six north, range five east (Waltz township) in March,
> 1852. He was born in Darke county, Ohio, in 1825, was reared on a farm,
> and in 1844, before reaching his majority, married Sarah Coble. Sarah
> Coble's father and other relatives settled in Wabash county about 1850,
> and the young man and his wife followed them and began housekeeping in
> Waltz township. The late Charles Niccum was rather under the average size
> physically, but what he lacked in physical stature was more than offset by
> his intense activity. He worked hard, and while he had but limited
> education, he had a large fund of practical sense, was quiet and
> unobstrusive and was reckoned as a first-class neighbor. Possessed of
> considerable determination, he took to studying long after he had become a
> man in order that he might the better measure up to the re!
> sponsibilities and privileges of American citizenship. In politics he was
> a republican up to the time Horace Greeley became a candidate for the
> presidency, and after that was a democrat. He and his wife had ten
> children, six of whom are still living.
>
> John Niccum, the oldest of these children, was born December 18, 1845, in
> Darke county, Ohio, and was therefore seven years old when he became a
> resident of Wabash county. With the exception of three years' residence in
> Jasper county, Indiana, he has always made his home in Wabash county, and
> up to 1910, in Waltz township. He was reared to hard work on the old farm,
> and such limited education as he obtained was acquired by a few months
> attendance during the winter term at the neighboring district school. Mr.
> Niccum is one of the youngest men in Wabash county who had a military
> record as a Union soldier during the Civil war. In February, 1865, a few
> months before the surrender of the southern army, he enlisted in Company F
> of the One Hundred and Fifty-third Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and from
> that time until the close of the war was employed on garrison and guard
> duty, for the most part in Kentucky. After his honorable discharge at the
> close of the war he resumed farming, an!
> d in time found himself possessed of a good property, and has always
> managed in such a way as to return a surplus. His home place in Waltz
> township comprises ninety acres of the fine farming land in that section.
>
> It has come about almost as a matter of course that Mr. Niccum should be a

Well, there are many Coble's in SE Guilford County and in Alamance County.
Try the Guilford Congressman, Howard Coble. They all seem to have come from
the same family that came down about the same time....I descend from Anthony
(Antonius) Coble, of this group of brothers, but I am neither male nor do I
have the Coble surname. Will assist any way I can, however. In my son's
test, they were able to trace five of the six tested back several
generations in the same family grouping before the family came to America.
It is well worth the information gained and it is such a simple test and
only about $100.00, I think. There are some surprises. This was a
Scotch-Irish group, but it had a healthy dose of Spanish blood. Well, those
of us who enjoy history recall that many of the Spanish Armada ships broke
up in a storm off the coast of Scotland and Ireland in the late 16th
century. Stand to reason there would be a bit of Spanish blood. And, the
Spanish occupied the Netherlands for years and that is really not so far
away from Scotland. And, so it goes. I hope some Coble males will come
forward and join in the tests. p nesbit

Hi, Jannine--
Please note that I am changing e-mail due to problems with
AOL.
Do you have a male in your family who would be willing to
take the DNA test? I can get someone from Henry's line. We
could prove whether or not Henry and Peter are brothers,
which would be one step toward proving their father.
Carolyn
Patricia
I have had no response from anyone else who is interested. Yes, it has to be male named Coble, that is the name has to have come directly down the blood line because the test is a Y-chromosome test, which is only carried by males.
Are there any descendants of Adam and Polly Chessor Coble on this list? How about his believed half-brother Peter Coble, all of Hickman Co, TN? If we can find someone who will take the test from each of those lines, I will try to get some help on the funding if that is a problem.

Does the DNA testing need to be through male members with the last name? My son participated in a test with his last name. The results were most interesting. Hopefully several will be tested for the Coble group. I think there were about six in his group. p.nesbit

I am trying to help a researcher who has Catharine CAUBLE and Henry ROTH
connection. I seem to recall that someone on the list as also descending from
Henry/Henrich Roth and Catharine KOBEL/COBLE. They had a son, Henry, JR. born in
PA in 1739. Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Jean
