  Prominent among the defenders was Major Noble,
  of lyisnaskea, who must have fled to Derry on the
  outbreak of the Revolution, passing Enniskillen on his
  way. One authority gives him third place among the
  chief defendeis.

  The fight at Sliny's orchard was referred to as

  Crofton and Bashford did much honour gain,
  By CAPTAIN NOBLE multitudes were slain;

  And now he's MAJOR NOBI,E of the same.
