Hi everybody,

I'm descended from Noble Lobdell and his first wife, Sarah Clark. I'm making a heritage album (scrapbook) about my Lobdell family and I'm looking for pictures of Noble and other of my ancestors. My line is Noble, his son Miles Clark, his son Dwight Baxter, his son Jay Clyde, his son Wray Orville (my father).

The Lobdell book of 1907 had pictures of both Noble and his son Miles Clark -- if anyone has those pictures or others that include any of the people in the line listed above, I would love to get good digital copies.

I'm also looking for other information about any in the line listed or from Simon to Noble, I would also be interested. I'm not looking for birth, marriage, death dates as I have most if not all of that -- I'm looking for story type info. I have gotten some in the past week will looking at various websites but am hoping for more.

Noble moved from Hamburg, NY, to Eagle, WI, but I don't know when or how (overland or by ship on the Great Lakes). Miles Clark also moved at a later date (I think). When his mother died, Miles Clark had been "given" do his uncle (her brother) and raised by him and his wife -- but did his father move soon after that or was he around while Miles Clark was growing up? Did Miles know his siblings and half siblings while he was growing up or were they in Wisconsin. At first I thought they were all in WI from the time Miles was a toddler but no I'm not sure that is correct.

Anyway, any help with info or photos would be greatly appreciated.
