The Noyes FAMILY of Andover -5-A The NOYES FAMIL'1 of' ANDOvER Rev. William Noyes, rector of Uhoulderton,( 11 miles from Salisbury and near the seat of the ~arl of ~embroke,)was born in 1568; He married Anna Parker, who died and was buried in Uhol­ derton, Mch. 7,1657. She was sister to the Rev. Robert ~arker. ~er will, made Mch. 18,1655; probate Apr. 21, 1658, at Somerset s Deacon Nicholas House, Loncton, leaves 1 she to son7Rev. James Noyes and.< ~, ana cousin, ( nephew), the Rev. Thomas Parker, all of New England. These three came here in 1633. Wililam, the Rector, had most of his estate confiscated because he became a dissenter. His son the neve games and his colleague, Thomas ~arker were for the presbytery as opposed to the congregation, and opposed the Boston platform. Wil t shire, . James, born in/ 1608; went to Brazenose Uollege, OXford, but did not graduate. He taught, for his uncle ~homas Parker, in the Free School of Newbury, EnglandJuntil he came here to America. He became a preacher because of their influence. He married Sarah Drown, daUghter of Joseph Brown, of Southampton, Rants uo., ~ngland, just before they set sail from England in the MARY & JOHN, 1633. urunes d. Oct. 24, 1656 ; she d. Sept. 13, 1691. He left an estate of 657 bbs.llsh;6 d. James, who inherited intellectllal gifts from both sides of his family, was called one of the most learned and gifted of the Massachusetts preachers of his day. Even *th~r" one of his opponents, spoke highly of his talents. He was said to be the father of the non-conformists, in this country. and Nicholas, 1635, Newbury, where he located, with Thos. ~rker( was then a lawless town, and the two preachers had their hands full. -The NOYES FAMILY of ANDOVgR -2-(in England 1 The family historians trace their ancestry back to the Wm. de Noyers, of Norfolk Co., England, who is recorded 1086 in the DOo~lliSDAY BO@K. The name is also spelled Noers, de Nores, Denoires, ge Noier, and finally Noier and Noyes. Some cltim that the name meant : of the Walnut ~ree. Their crest was a chapeau turned up with ermine and a dove with olive branch in its beak,on top,-a coat of arms used by a William Noyes, who was Attorney ~eneral for Charles 1. ... Seekers insist that the original family had a Norman estA~e held by grant of William-the Conqueror; and those still mobe imagin­ ative trace the t~11¥ Bpelling to Noye and to Hoe, and so back to Noah and the Ark. All moonshine 1 The NOYES 11A.MILY of ANl)OVER In this article I thought to take up briefly the branch of the Noyes geneology from Col. Thomas (2), son of the Hev. Janes Noyes, of Newbury. He had two wives: Martha Pierce, and 2nd Elisabeth Green­ leaf, from whom the Andover lines descend. She was the daughter of Capt. Stephen Greenleaf and Miss Elisabeth Coffin, and a grand-daughter of vapt. Edmond (1) and Sarah Dole of the old Kents Island family. {not proved yet.) Among her children was Joseph (3) Noyes of Newbury who married Hannah Wadleigh, a daughter, so far as we have learned, of Jonathan Wadleigh, and doubtless an Exeter girl, name unknown. Jonathan (4) Noyes of Newbury, last of the ancestry there, in our branch, was a very fine soldier. He was ~apt. of his Co., and had six sons with him in the War of the Hevolution. Aaron (5), the baby, at 17, went as drummer b01, and was at Bunker Htll, and served three more years, although not credited so on the Army Rolls. Wadleigh (5) another son, was wounded and died; Joseph, ~5) a Lieut. ended his days, a Widower, in the home of his brother in Andover. " Life" , as they called the other, ( Eliphalet), Dudley and Jonathan, all served nobly. lJ.'he his tory of these does not belong to Andover, and is well told in the Noyes Book. Jonathan (4) Noyes married Lydia Bancroft, daughter of Thomas oancroft and Lydia Emery, of Reading, in 1742. 1~ey were contemporary with William Morse and Phebe Boc1well, two more descendants of l:1ellig­ erants. To these two lines: Morse and Noyes, came a host of Colonial honors.( So, if any descendant craves the joys of "bragging" and the expense of proving, and can wait at the tail of a long cue of applicants to that overloaded compahy of Colonial .uames, here is her chance.) The NOYES FAMILY or ANDOVER -2- ""' Lydia named Aaron, the little drummer boy of 175, after her cousin in the Bancrort line, as it was not a Noyes name. Aaron came here and settled in west Andover, from newbury, about 1781. He had married, in 1779, .Phebe )lorse, whose folks had gotten as far as Methuen by that time. Wm. her father, Came back to west Andover, and died at the home of his daughter and Aaron, and is buried in the Noyes lot in West Parish Yard, but is not well recorded. His widow lived to be 93, dying at her son's home in 1825. Aaron Noyes, by all accounts, was a loveable man. My aunt Foster, one of his younger grand-children, WaS a favorite. The old Colonial Mansion, in his day on the River Road, was sold to Lirowley, and burned later. After Aunt Fosteris mother died, she went to live: at grandpa Noyes! amd the house seemed to her, large and well furnished. Aarolll used to dross over to Methuen in a boat at the Glan Fa11s point to do his shopping and she would sit at Noyes' Rocks, now covered by the overflow from the _am below- to wait his return. in 1830, when the United States gave money to all our towns, Aaron, then a little old man, .a.ttended the' three ,days" ToWn -Meeting, and raisea aloft on the shoulders of his loyal friends, p~eaded that the $3.00 apiece alotted to avery man, woman and child in Andover, be applied to the erection of ,a new Town Farm to accomodate the feeble sur­ vivors of the War of the Revolution and of 1812. The Alms House was built later of Frye Village brick, and our gift from Uncle Sam still stands. Salem- built a workhouse for convicts with her allotment but our&is the Only Old Folks' Home, so given. Aaron and his wife Phe.e left a goodly legacy to Andover. Aaron (6) noyes, who married Dolly Jordan, moved to Yonkers,N.Y. He died in Nwwark, N.J: We had visits, at long intervals, from his line. The NOygS FAMILY of ANDOvER -3- Lydia (6) Noyes married ~amde1 Osgood and was mother of the first Mrs. Thomas Clark, and grandmother of Jesse. Frederick (6) Noyes lived in West Andover, whene he died in 1874, at the age of 80.He married Hannah Varnum of the Dracut line from ueorge (1). His daughter Mary (7), married Bimsley stevens and lived near Frye Village. The Fieldings and Lovejoys took the girls of his line. Hannah Varnum (7) married Moody Abbott and lived on the Ward place up the road to the church. Fanny (7) married William Chickering and had one son Ueorge, who survived. Sarah R. (7), married a minister, the Rev. Joseph'Burbank, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., an Andover Seminary student. Caroline (7) had two husbands and lived out west somewehere in Indiana. Emily (7) married naniel Shannon and the whole family succombed to tuberculosis. Ellen (7), born in 1827, married a Rhode Island farmer named Bur- dette. Fred, called Jr., was a son who had an eccentric streak from some old line. He was born in 1829, and married, in 1882, a widow, Isabella .- ~ai1ey. He died, almost a hermit, in 1898, and she married a Chelmsford man. Charles D. Noyes was one of the most enterprising of the sons of Frederick (6).Though not ~strong appearing man, he had good health, and most of throughout!hIs lIfe conducted a drug store in Charlestown. He married Harriet E. Williams of that city. He :finally returned to Andover, and died here. His surviving son, Henry, is one of out most respected residents today. The children of Jonathan (6) Noyes, were not many, I judge. He moved to Hopkinton, N.H., but died here in Andover in 186l,-War time. Ris wife, prior to marriage had been a widow Childs, of Londonderry, and she settled in Lawrence witn a son,tieorge Childs , whose school days were the same as mine. The NOYES FAMILY of ANDOV.l:!iR -4- George's mother was a favorite with all of us children, whom she treated with sugar plums, and we always enjoyed the visits of " Aunt Childs If as we called her, and her aid in t"'" he family mending. She had a shop near the Lawrence jail, for years. A step-daughter, ~ane, by Jon­ athan's first wife, was Mrs. Joseph Gage of south Lawrence, who lived over John Howard's store at the bridge. Wadleigh (6) Noyes married Phebe Ballard of the old Andover line, who had gone to the hospitable old farm of cousins at Peterboro, N.H. THe oldest son, Nathan (7) died aged 20. Aaron (7) who came next, had a sitrange historYf Born in 1829 ,lie married first, Sarah Lovejoy, daughter of Ebenezer, and moved to Nashua, N.H. He then wandered West, forsaking his Wife, and may have contracted another marriage. We never got the whole of his story nor farther clue to any family.

It argues that antinomians, by rejecting traditional concepts of social authority, created divisive political factions within the godly party while it waged war against King Charles I. At the same time in New England, antinomians organized a political movement that called for a democratic commonwealth to limit the power of ministers and magistrates in religious and civil affairs. When this program collapsed in Massachusetts, hundreds of colonists returned to an Old England engulfed by civil war. Joining English antinomians, they became lay preachers in London, New Model Army soldiers, and influential supporters of the republican Levellers. This dissertation also connects the study of republican political thought to the labor history of the first British Empire.

  • Noyes' Genealogy
    1 NOYES' GENEALOGY. \ RECORD OF A BRANCH OF THE DESCENDANTS OF V REV. JAMES NOYES, 1 i NEWBURY, 1634-1656, % COMPILED BY HORATIO N.^OYES. 0 CLEVELAND. OHIO, 1889. ' I o- X > PREFACE. After a hundred and fifty years of Colonial settlement, supple­ mented by a hundred years of National existence, it has become in these later years a pleasant pursuit of thoughtful persons to search the records of the past to learn something of the origin and history of their ancestors. The motive and spirit with which such researches are prosecuted in this country is rarely in the expectancy or even hope of elevating some ordinary though respectable individual or family in the public consid­ eration by the possible discovery that some person bearing the family name was a Knight in the army of William the Conqueror, and who •consequently became a lord of vast domains when the confiscated estates of the Saxons were parcelled out, though necessitated, like the Ameri­ can Indian, to impress his instead of writing his name — totem — the original of the later aristocratic "Coat of Arms" or of finding per­ haps "their noble ancestor" to have been a rich brewer and representative of a rotten borough inan ancient parliament. The inspiration- which prompts societies and individuals' to genea­ logical research inthis country, springs from a nobler sentiment, even likeunto that which we call patriotism, or love of birth-place, home or country, family affection, and reverential regard for the memory of ancestors. Nevertheless, the reflection is gratifying that inthe longlist brought to view in this record, no one bearing the name of Noyes has been found wanting inmoral rectitude, while several in the line, embracing a period of nearly three hundred years, have been eminent as clergymen and physicians, graduates of universities, deacons in churches, officers in -4­ civiland military life,and all manifestly excellent men and women, the heads of prolific families and good citizens.

It is a relief to have accomplished a task which I have often regretted having begun and which I do not advise any one to undertake. Here is the re­ sult, however, of much labor and research for my kinsmen and fel­ low genealogists to study as much or as little as they choose. In several previous books I have acknowledged the aid of Miss Sybil Noyes in reading proof with an eye for additions and corrections as well as accuracy in printing. Miss Noyes has a personal interest in the present volume as she descends from sev­ eral of the families dealt with-once from Lunt, twice from Noyes, Ingersoll, Allen and Goodall and three times from Cutting.

  • Noyes' Genealogy
    GENEALOGY. Rev. James Noyes, the immigrant ancestor of our branch of the numerous Noyes family in this country, was born inChoulderton, Wilt- shire, England, in 1608, came to New England in 1634, and died in Newbury, Mass., October 22, 1656, in the forty-eighth year of his age.
