(Place of residence; History of Harrison Co., Iowa
Left the Uwharrie and moved into Clark Co. about 1807, probably with his older brother, David.
There is no indication that Noah Fouts (sometimes transcribed "Noel)) owed land in Randolph County, but his name appears in the Randolph County records With the exception of Noah, all of the sons of Andrew, Sr. received land from their father; however, following the trend of the times, Noah may have requested a cash settlement to invest in frontier land. Those moving north into Indiana Territory traveled in small groups. Noah left the Uwharrie and moved into Clark County sometime around 1807, most likely in the company of his older brother, David, who traveled with his Parr in-laws. In the earliest records of Indiana Territory, the names of David and Noah are always listed together. There is the possiblity that Noah joined the company of his Wright relatives, who made most of their entries, 1808-1810, in present day Washington County.
The early settlers in the Indiana Territory, on the outlying edge of our frontier, was caught up in this Indian trouble, and heir ony recourse was to form local Militia's to protect their homes and lives. Many settlers retreated South and off the Frontier for the duration of the War (1812-1815). The Wright's crossed the Ohio river and stayed with the Sears family on the Kentucky shore. Others remained, takng their places in the defense of their homes and nation. Among these were Noah & David Fouts, who were commissioned on 21 March 1809 in the Clark County Militia. (Baird's "History of Clark County, Indiana"; also, on the list compiled b the Indiana State Library.) A military "commission" indicated that you were accepting military responsibility and held a Governor's Commission, while every male 16-60 was a member of the militia.
Some have questioned if the Noah, here listed, is the correct individual. There were two Noah Fouts' of the same generation, from Randolph County, NC, who moved to Indiana Territory at an early date. The other Noah was of the line of old David Fouts(1), whose son Andrew (2) died and left a widow named Elizabeth Fouts; In turn their son Daniel (3) married Sarah Wright. Daniel's son Noah (4) was born in Randolph County, 3 May 1795, thus, he was ten years younger than the Noah (Noel) of this discussion. He moved to Indiana Terribory as a youth and after a few years, married Phebe Nelson, 25 August 1814, in Wayne Co., Indiana. His migrations have been traced from Wayne County 1814...Fayette 1820...Union in 1830...LaPort in 1840...and Wayne County, Iowa in 1847. After leaving the Uwharried the paths of the two Noah Fouts' did not cross. The Noah of Wayne County would have been a lad of 14 years at the time David and Noah were serving in the Militia in Clark County. Soon after Noah (son of Daniel) had married, he assumed his place in the Militia. In the "Executive Journal of Indiana Territory, 1800-1816," Historical Society Publication, 1900, page 227 -
On 2 February 1815, Noah Fouts commissioned a Lieut. in 8th Regt., Indiana Militia. (8th Regt. from Wayne County, Indiana). This Noah and wife Phebe, left the following children: - Eri, Cinthia, Jane, Zimri, Charlotte, Sarah, Martha, William & Mary.
On 12 March 1809 a Petition from the Citizens of Clark Co, Indiana was referred to the Congress of the United States. "All free males who have done military duty and paid taxes want to be given the right of sufferage". The list was undated (prior to March 1809) and here we find -

("Indiana Territorial Papers, 1800-1809", Vol. 7. Edited by Clarence E. Carter, published by State Department (1939).
As previously stated, the Indiana Territory Land Office opened at Jeffersonville on 1 May 1808. The original "Land Entries" Register is found -
Later when Noah sells his land the deed reveals, "granted by the United States to said Noah Fouts by Patent bearing date 1814"
Noah and Jane lived on their land located about a mile and a half southwest of present Salem, Indiana.
Here, is found Noah and Jane and their 7 children that were born prior to 1820 - Abner 1806, Reuben 1808, Delia 1810, Rachel 1813, Andrew 1815, Mary 1817, and Nancy 1819
The Rev. John Wright, Sr., a cousin of Noah's wife, Jane, was an early day Dunker minister and had 10 small congregations within the bounds of Washington County. Later they were to be known as the Church of Christ". Noah and Jane Fouts are listed among the membership of John Wright's "Blue River Church of Christ" in the early 1820's. The Rev. John Wright, born on the Uwharrie in 1778, was baptized by the Dunker minister, William Summers, in the Ohio River on the Clark (now Harrison) County, Indiana Territory shore in 1808.
On 6 April 1825, Noel and Jane Fouts marked their "X" and deeded their quarter section of land to William Lindley of Washington County, for the sum of 1400.00. The location of the property - NE1/4 Sec. 30 Twp 2N Range 4E-is Noah's first Entry No. 473 that he made in Nov 1810. (A note from the Recorder of Deeds, Susan Holstine, mentioned that "Mr. Lindley was one of our early settlers of the County and he deeded the section of ground which is now the City of Salem." She is of the opinion that it is the same property deeded by Fouts to Lindley)
In 1832, Deed Book D:172, indexed under Nowel Fouts - "Noel Fouts and Jane his wife to Luther N. Webster". Signed: "Noel or Noah x Fouts"
"Jane x Fouts"
The Rev. John Wright, Sr. continued preaching throughout Washington County with good success. It is reported that "3,000 were united on the Bible in one day." He records a preaching journey through Putnam County in the year 1845..."on the 28th to Manhattan on the National Road, Meeting at 4 o'clock we had truly a warm and comfortable time among the Strange Brethern, and also at night at cousin Noah Foutses, here crowded...(excert from Wright's Diary).
It appears that Noah made his decision to move rather hurriedly. He did not sell his land, but left it in the care of his sons-in-law, John and Michael Funican, and the sale was completed in September 1853
Noah went directly to Pottawattomie County, Iowa, and settled near his 3rd son, Andrew, who had sold out in Putnam County in 1848 and may have been the foreruner of the Fouts that came to Iowa. Noel, Jr. according t the "History of Harrison County, Iowa," 1891. bought a claim in Harrison County, farmed for one year, then moved to Galland's Grove in Western Shelby County. Soon, thereafter, Noah, the father, joined him.
Noah died 19 April 1866 in Shelby County, Iowa, and the name "NOEL FOUTS" is engraved on his gravestone. However, his oldest grandson was named "Noah Brotherton". Jane Caroline died 21 March 1877. They are buried in Grove Township cemetery (formerly known as Monteno). The cemetery is in good condition, located on the extreme western edge of Shelby County, 3-1/2 miles east of Dunlap, Iowa.
Noah and Jane Fouts gave, or sold to each of their sons as they came of age or married, some land. Deed dated 8 Feb 1839 - Noel Fouts and Jane his wife to Abner Fouts, for 500.00 the SE 1/2 of SE Q of S 14 T13, Putnam County. Wit. Lemuel Wright and William Roberts. (Deed Book F:398)
