General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Niblock

---

The Niblock line is traced back to the year 1679, when a John Niblock, ancestor of the family, fought in the Covenanter Army at the battle of Bothwell Bridge in Scotland. After the battle, which was a disastrous one for the Covenanters, young Niblock, among others, escaped to Ireland, but he was pursued by the British officers and forced again to flee for his life. This time he went to Holland, and although the British pursued him there, too, the Dutch Government refused to give him up to them, and he lived in exile in Holland for a period of about nine years. When William of Orange landed in England in 1688, Niblock joined his army and fought on his side at the Boyne Water in 1689. After the Irish War, Niblock married a Scotch wife, and settled in County Down, Ireland, where many of his descendants were still to be found two hundred years later. ¹
