    Notes:

    From Sevier County, Tennessee Deed Book 'J', pages 150/51, "This Indenture made this the 14th of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty four between Harcolas T. Ogle of the State of Tennessee and County of Sevier of the one part and Noah Ogle of the State and County aforesaid of the other part...the said Harculas T. Ogle hath this day bequeath the deed of gift unto the said Noah Ogle...it being given under their condition that it is to be all the claim, interest or demand that he the said Noah Ogle is to have to the said Harculas T. Ogle estate at this or any future time, the said land lying on the waters of the West Fork of Pigeon River near and about where the said Noah Ogle now lives." This land was located along Dudley Creek and Low Gap branch, then westward to the first high top between Roaring Fork Creek and Dudley Creek and joined the lands of James Ogle and Isaac Ogle Sr. It contained one hundred acres.

    Noah was a private in Company E, 2nd Tennessee Cavalry Volunteer with the Union army during the Civil War. He enlisted for three years at Sevierville, Tennessee 16 September 1862 and was discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, 5 July 1865. He served at Lexington, Kentucky, Decator, Alabama, and Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. His personal description at the time of enlistment was: age, 29 years, fair complexion, dark hair and yellow eyes (hazel?).

    In the 1860 Federal Census for Sevier County, Tennessee, Noah and Sophia were living in the 6th district on Walden's Creek. An 1866 deed from Daniel Wesley Reagan to Noah Ogle records the transfer of 100 acres of land. This farm lay from Baskins Creek to Reagan Lane on both sides of the river, now the center of Gatlinburg. In 1870 Federal Census, Noah and Sophia Reagan Ogle are found in the 11th Civil District in Gatlinburg. He is listed as a grocery merchant. This store which he started is still being operated by his descendants.

    Noah served the 11th Civil District for many years as a Justice of Peace. He added land to the cemetery located on the hill in town, again being called White Oak Flats Cemetery. He and his third wife deeded the land for the present site of White Oak Flats Baptist Church (now First Baptist Church of Gatlinburg) in 1897.

    Noah left a will in which he mentions all of his daughters and children of his daughter, Martha. Only one of the sons was named. His will was dated 30 Jan 1897 and probated 19 Feb 1897 (Will Book I, p 524/5).
