HUGHA BOWEN, FATHER TO ELIZABETH
Notes for ISOM BEECHER NOBLE:
Isom Noble from Wayne County WV, was a Civil War vet. He is listed in the roster for Diamonds 10th Kentucky Cavalry, CSA enlisting 3/20/63. Found him in the Breathitt County Kentucky Census of 1860, number 366/3 66 father John born Floyd Co Kentucky, mother Sary from NC. My father is Luther Noble son of Robert Lee Noble and Prudence (Ball) Noble. I a m sure that Isom and his wife are buried in the family cemetery on Trace Fork in Wayne Co. WV. Gardner Fletcher's father Isom enlisted as a Private in May's Battalio of the Kentucky Mounted Rifles (which became Company E, 10th Regiment (Diamond) Kentucky's Calvary) on March 20, 1863 in Wolfe Co, Kentucky.
He was captured and became prisoner of War on April 16, 1864 in Wolfe Co, Kentucky. He was transferred to a military prison in Louisville Kentucky on may 7, 1864. From Louisville, he was transferred to Camp Morton in Indy on May 7 1864. He was paroled at Camp Morton and
forwarded to Point Lookout, MD via the B & O Railroad for a prisoner exchange on March 15 1865.
Story about Isom from David Noble:
I was told by my father (Luther Noble) that Isom joined the Southern side because some Northern recruiters were trying to get him to join and in so doing were bad mouthing the Southern boys. This made Isom mad and he joined up with the CSA, he was about 16 at the time. The following information was provided by Mike Burcham a cousin who has a copy of Isom's service record.
Isom enlisted as a Private in May's Battalion of the Kentucky Mounted Rifles (which later became Company E, 10th Regiment [Diamond's] Kentucky Calvary) on March 20, 1863 in Wolfe County, KY. He was enlisted by D. F. Swango, a prominent person in the region during the war.
Isom was captured and became a Prisoner of War on April 16, 1864 in Wolfe County. A single note in the record under remarks states "Bushwacker". He was transferred to a military prison in Louisville, KY on May 7, 1864. From Louisville, he was transferred to Camp Morton in Indianapolis, IN in May 12, 1864. He was paroled at Camp Morton and forwarded to Point Lookout, MD via the B&O Railroad for a prisoner exchange. It appears that he was freed sometime on or after March 15, 1865.

They lived in the Butler District of Wayne County where Isom was a farmer. Elizabeth's father left her a tract of land containing 500 acres known as the Joel Ferguson land. They had ten children and five of them died during their infancy.
