Who is "Bro Nobles"? He is not listed as being one of the first company on this website. He must have been there because he spoke. Joseph B Nobles is listed, but he did not leave Winter Quarters until June 19, 1847, in the Jedidiah Grant company. Bro Nobles is mentioned in other first company journals.
