Aug. 1773 - Darby Lux vs. Basil Noe and John Noe, of Charles Co., planters, special bail of Bennett Noe. In Aug. 1772, Darby Lux recovered a judgment against Bennett Noe in the sum of 6/4/6 current money and 747 lbs. of tobacco for his costs and charges. Basil Noe and John Noe were security for Bennett Noe in this case. Bennett Noe did not pay the judgment to Lux and in Mar. 1773 Lux commenced an action against Basil Noe and John Noe to execute on the judgment against them. In June 1773, the Sheriff served notice of this proceeding on John Noe, before Zephanaiah Noe and Belain Posey, two good and lawful men of his bailywick. The language of the Sheriff's return concerning service on Basil Noe is not clear but it appears to say that Basil was not found (or at least, not served.)
The case came on to be heard at the Aug. 1773 Court. John Noe offered no defense and the Court ordered that Darby have execution against both Basil and John for the 6/4/6 current money and 747 lbs. of tobacco, plus an additional 273 lbs. of tobacco for Darby's costs and charges in this proceeding.

The note was produced in court; Bennett signed his name to the note and the note was witnessed by Zephaniah Nooe.
John Nooe and Zephaniah Nooe of Charles Co. appeared in Court and became pledge and security for Bennett. The case came on to be heard at the Nov. 1773 Court and Bennett admitted that he owed the debt.

Source: Culpeper Co., Va. Deeds, Book H, p. 294.
Comment: A 1784 reference to Charles Co., Md. is puzzling; the last record we have of Zephaniah in Charles Co. is a decade earlier. Although the lease says 4 tracts of land, acreages are given for only 3 tracts

1784-1790 - Zephaniah Nooe is in the 1784-1790 Personal Property Tax Lists of Stafford Co., Va., as follows:
1784 - Zephaniah Nooe 2 (8 whites, 1 black, 2 horses, no cattle)
1785 - Zephaniah Nooe (1 white, 4 blacks, 4 horses, 1 cattle)
1786 - Zephaniah Nooe (1 white, 4 blacks, 4 horses, 1 cattle)
1787 - Zephaniah Nooe (3 whites, 5 blacks, 2 horses, 2 cattle)
1788 - Zephaniah Nooe (1 white, 4 blacks, 2 horses, no cattle)

Source: Vogt, John and Kethley, T. William, Jr., "Stafford County Virginia Tithables, Quit Rents, Personal Property Taxes and Related Lists and Petitions."
Comment: What does the "2" mean after Zephaniah's name in the 1784 tax list? Two Zephaniahs? Two different households? Would it explain the inordinately high number of white tithables (8 of them) in the 1784 tax list? Might "8" be the number of all white persons in the household rather than white tithables?

Comment: Is this the same Zephaniah Noe or a younger man of the same name?

Oct. 8, 1808 - For and in consideration of the sum of one dollar in hand paid me this day by Mrs. Jimmey Kerttey, I, Zephaniah Nooe, at present of the county of Culpeper, do hereby relinquish, give up, and make over unto the said Mrs. Jimmy Kerttey, all my rights, titles, interests and claim of, in and to all and every part of the estate of which she is now possessed under the will of her father James Roberts.
