Samuel Thornton Fidler affidavit says that Rev. Noah was born in Mercer Co., NJ. Donnadeane Depew had Hunterdon County.
Complete probate packet obtained at Clerk of Probate Court 1 May 2015. One document was:
"Troy Jan. 12, 1851 Miama [sic] Co. Ohio
I have this Engaged of Jos Strickler one Set of No. 1 Rutland Marble Grave Stone Head Stone 5 foot high 20 in wide foot stone In proportion Inscribed as follows
Noah Fidler in circle Born in _________ with Rose Branch Between Borns Name Born in Hunterdon Co N.J. Dec 31 1778 Died Sept 25 1849 with Drapery & Rose Reath finished in the Best Stile with Base & verse. Delivered & Set up in Good order in the Grave Yard in Troy this coming [?] for which sum to forty Dollars on delivery. W. K. Fidler."
Looking at the stone, it appears the intent was to have all of the inscription within an oval and between Noah's name and the word "Born" is a rose branch. Around the outside is a drapery with tassels. The verse is not legible in the photo.
Other documents in addition to the original will, inventory of property and sale bill are: A receipt from the widow, Mary Fidler, accepting the provisions of the will and stating that she examined the will. Her original signature dated March 23, 1850, witnessed by her son Thornton E. Fidler. A receipt signed by son E. R. Fidler, one by J. H. Robbins (husband of daughter Matilda), several by Thomas F. Fidler, by N. C. Fidler, Alfred M. Fidler, Angelina E. Locke and Ann Voorhees. A receipt for three dollars for attending the funeral of Mrs. Fidler on Sept. 9, 1860. A receipt dated 1855 for $165.65 "being the amt. of within note & interest, said note having been given by said Executor as part of the consideration for a lot in the Town of Piqua conveyed by me to heirs in trust for the heirs of Mary M. Robbins as per the will of Noah Fiddler deceased.
Much information on the children was obtained from Donnadeane Depew Reame. Not verified unless cited.
