Town of Salisbury
The second term of the court .having criminal & civil jurisdiction was held
at Salisbury 6-15-1813 - James Scott judge . Four criminal & five civil cases
were on the dockett though for some reason it was not shown that any buisness
was transacted . JAMES NOBLE 's name was on the docket .
In November 1810 the northern part of Dearborn was formed into two new
counties - Franklin & Wayne .
By this record it appears first court was held 2-25-1811 .
JAMES NOBLE [ afterward one of the first U. S. senators from Indiana ]
appeared as prosecuting attourney .
So I see from this entry that Franklin & Wayne were formed from the
northern part of Dearborn . I thought Franklin county was formed first .
After War 0f 1812
Joseph Cox studied law with JAMES NOBLE , then one of the U. S. senators
from Indiana
