John Noel and Jane Trial
 Peoria, IL 1850 Federal Census INDEX File 11 of 15 Pg Ln Last Name First Name Age Birth Place 290a 41 Noel John 41 Virginia (West Virginia?) * 290a 42 Noel Jane Trial 29 Ohio 290b 1 Noel William 17 Indiana 290b 2 Noel Joseph 15 Illinois 290b 3 Noel Miller 13 Illinois 290b 4 Noel Albert 11 Illinois 290b 5 Noel Elisabeth 9 Illinois 290b 6 Noel Arminda 7 Illinois 290b 7 Noel Jackson 5 Illinois 290b 8 Noel Harriet 3 Illinois 290b 9 Noel Margaret 1 Illinois * The 1900 census shows that Arminda Noel was born in April 1844 in Illinois with both parents being born in Ohio. This discrepancy can be reconciled by the fact that Nicholas, John, Peter and Philip, the sons of John and Margaret Noel and grandsons of Joseph Noel, from Europe, who settled in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania, moved to Hampshire County, Virginia (now W.Va.) prior to 1790. If so then the census was correct stating that he was from Virgina. All these families except one moved to Ohio, so by 1900 they may have forgot that John was born in (West) Virgina. However the death certificate for Arminda Shepard states that her father John Noel was born in England and that the mothers maiden name was spelled as Tryal. I would put more weight on the earliest census but the birth place of John Noel is still open. DN

"TRIAL CEMETERY HAS A NEW LOOK "By Jay Johnson....
"Indians", as we
often refer to those early Native Americans, at one
time had control of
all the land. It was sometime after the turn of the
century in 1800
that John Trial, an early settler, bought a number
of acres from the
local Indians-likely from a member tribe of the
Illini Confederation.
The Trial family was joined through marriage with
that of John Noel,
who had also obtained acreage from the Indians. His
land became the
site of the Illinois Insane Asylum. The Trial
cemetery on South
LaFayette is a remnant of that early farmstead and a
link with the
past. Rather than be forgotten, the final resting
place of those early
folks has recently received a face lift. Jack
Hertter of Bartonville
has been volunteering his time for the last 5 years
to bring "new life"
to the old plots. Other volunteers have helped to
put in a new fence
around the property, straighten the monuments, keep
the grass cut and
add a new sign to identify the cemetery. A special
thanks is extended
to Bob and Edna Medford of East Peoria and to Isabel
Braden of Pekin
for their contributing efforts. For any who wish to
help out either
financially or work wise please contact Jack
Hertter. The comment was
made that "it's the best that cemetery has looked in
40
years." - L E LawrenceJohn NOEL was born 1810 in
