Noble Jones

Noble Jones (1702 – November 2, 1775), an English physician and carpenter, is one of the first settlers of the Province of Georgia and one of its leading officials.

As part of Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe's 42nd (old) Regiment of Foot, he commands Georgia's Northern Company of Marines during the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739–48).

He is the father of Noble Wimberly Jones, a physician and prominent leader of the Georgia patriots during the American Revolution.

Noble Jones establishs the Wormsloe Plantation eight miles from Savannah in the late 1730s.

Most of the plantation is now open to the public as a state historic site.
