I found a mention of an Isaac Nogle in “History of Washington County, Ohio, 1788-1881,” by Washington County Chapter of the OGS (1989).In a discussion of the early settlement of Warren Township, p. 634, is the following:
“Soon after the close of the Indian war, squatters began to make improvements on Congress section number eight.These people, with a few exceptions, were afflicted with a roving disposition and an aversion to the labor necessary to the making of more than a temporary improvement.On section eight a community of these people had gathered previous to the permanent settlement of the township.A few of them were industrious and frugal, and afterwards became good citizens, but by far the greater number sought dwelling places elsewhere, when driven from the land they occupied by actual owners.The first of this class of improvements were made in Warren township by Isaac Nogle, George Nogle, Thomas Dickey and Isaac Hardin.These were soon followed by Thomas Patton, William Patton, Dr. Morse, Samuel Friend, John Rardin, John Chevington and others.This collection of uninviting cabins was called Nogletown.These transient inhabitants did not bear an enviable reputation among the more solid settlers who followed them, and their departure was not regretted.”
The language is a bit harsh, no doubt reflecting the class-consciousness of the late nineteenth century, but it does provide some information that you may find useful in your research.Perhaps Nancy Patton is related to Thomas or William?The only other info I have on file relating to an Isaac Noggle in early Ohio, aside from the census and tax listings, is a mention of a Private Isaac Noggle, Coller’s Regiment, Ohio Militia, War of 1812 muster roll.It was found on the internet, and I have not yet found anything to support it.
Hope this helps.
