MORGAN FAMILY.
I. JAMES MORGAN, the emigrant ancestor and progenitor of the Morgan family, was born in Wales in 1607. He m. Mar- gery Hill of Roxbury, Mass., Aug. 6, 1640. He was made free- man there, May 10, 1645. Early in 1650 he had lands granted him in Pequot, now New London, as New London records show, which was soon occupied by him as a homestead, "on the path to New street or Cape Ann street," as it was called in honor of the Cape Ann Company, who chiefly settled there. On the 25th day of December, 1656, he sold his homestead and removed soon after, with several others, across the river, upon large tracts of land previously granted them by the town. The spot where he built his first house in Groton in 1657, and where he ever resided and died, is a few rods southeast of the dwelling of Elijah S. Morgan, about three miles from Groton ferry, on the road to Po- quonock Bridge. He was one of the townsmen or selectmen of New London for several years, and one of the first "Deputys sent from New London Plantation" to the General Court at Hartford, May session, 1657, and was nine times afterwards chosen member of the assembly, the last in 1670, and he was also an active and useful member of Rev. Richard Blinman's church, as his name is prominent in every important movement or pro- ceeding. He also served in the early Colonial wars. He d. in 1685, aged 78 years.

NOYES FAMILY.
Rev. William Noyes, ancestor of the Stonington family of this name, was born in England in 1568. He was instituted rector of Cholderton in 1602, and continued so for about 20 years. He m. Anne Parker about 1595, who was b. in 1575, and buried at Chol- derton, England, March 7, 1657, aged 82 years. William Noyes departed this life about 1616, and his son, Nathan Noyes, suc- ceeded him to the rectorship and continued so for 32 years, dying in 1651, Sept. 6, aged 54 years.
NOTE .- It seems the statement that the family name of Noyes in Eng- land was originally Noye is a mistake. From all that has been ascertained, the name originated in Normandy and the family name there was Des Noyers, the latter word meaning "Walnut Tree." The tendency being always to shorten rather than lengthen family names. The Doomsday book has recorded as one of the followers of William the Conqueror "William Des Noyers," William of the Walnut Tree.
It has been supposed and currently stated that Rev. William Noyes, rector of Cholderton, was related to the William Noyes who was Attorney General to Charles the First, but I have never seen proof of it, and I find that Prof. James Atkins Noyes and Col. Henry E. Noyes, who have made an exhaustive study of the Noyes family, are of the same opinion.
I. REV. WILLIAM NOYES and Anne Parker, sister of Rev. Robert Parker, were m. about 1595. CHILDREN:
2 EPHRAIM, b. in 1596, m. a Parnell, buried at Cholderton Oct. 28, 1659.

5 Daughter, b - -, m. Thomas Kent of Upper Wallop, Eng.
6 NICHOLAS, b. in 1614, m. Mary Cutting.
7 JOHN, b. - -, m. and lived in Newton Co., Wilts, Eng.
James Noyes (No. 4) and Nicholas Noyes (No. 6) came to New England, and from them sprung the line of Noyes' whose de- scendants are found nearly all over the United States.
James Noyes (No. 4) m. in 1634 Sarah, eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Brown of Southampton, Eng., and in March of that year embarked for New England, in company with his brother Nicho- las and his cousin, Thomas Parker, in the "Mary and John" of London. He preached for a short time at Medford, and then for a while at the Watertown church, but in 1635 went to Newbury, Mass., and preached there till his death, Oct. 22, 1656. Mrs. Sarah Brown Noyes d. Sept. 13, 1691. Mr. James Noyes was.

NOYES FAMILY.
very much loved and honored in Newbury, and it was said of him that "He was of so loving and compassionate and humble car- riage that there never was any one acquainted with him, but did desire the continuance of his society and acquaintance." He had a fine voice, and with his cousin Thomas Parker spent much time in singing and praising God, both at home and at divine worship. He had a long and tedious sickness, which he bore patiently and cheerfully, and d. joyfully in the 48th year of his age. He left six sons and two daughters, all of whom lived to be m. and have chil- dren. His will, dated Oct. 17, 1656, which was six days before his death, is preserved, and his inventory showed a good estate.
