family, nor tracing descendants. Evidently it was drawn from Mrs. Shute's narrative, as the incorrect date of the captivity and the age of Frances are repeated. It presumes that Lazarus Noble was of Scottish descent. From another source it is learned

that the family history reveals a Lazarus Noble in 1660 at Portsmouth, N. H., who was probably the grandfather of the unfortunate settler on Swan Island in the Kennebec.

On the two outside pages are recorded the deaths of nine persons in 1806 and 1807, also the deaths of five negroes, between 1789 and 1807.
