(I) Rev. William Noyes, the English pro- genitor of the American family of Noyes, was born in 1568 and died in Cholderton, county Wiltshire, before April 30, 1622.

Nich- olas, born in 1615-16; came to America with his brother, Rev. James; said to be the first man to leap ashore from the boat in which they went to their new home at Newbury, a year later. He was one of the Newbury men who walked forty miles to qualify as voters. He served as deacon, and as deputy to the gen- eral court. He died November 23, 1701. He married, about 1640, Mary Cutting, daughter of John Cutting, shipmaster. 5. Daughter, married Thomas Kent; lived in England. 6. John, resided at Newton, Wiltshire.
(II) Rev. James Noyes, son of Rev. Wil- liam Noyes (I), was born in England, in Cholderton, county Wiltshire, in 1608. He was matriculated at Brasenose College, Ox-
ford, August 22, 1627. When the pastor of the Old North church, Boston, the Rev. Cotton Mather, was preparing his "Ecclesiastical His- tory of New England," he wrote to Rev. Nicholas Noyes, nephew of Rev. James Noyes, for some account of his uncle. In his own words, he "was favored with the follow- ing relation ; and although he were pleased in his letters to tell me 'that he had sent me only a rude, immethodical jumble of things, intend- ing that I should serve my occasions out of them for a composition of my own'; yet I find that I shall not give my readers a better satis- faction, anyway, than by transcribing the words of my friend. The account in his own words, is too elegant and expressive to need any alteration." Rev. Nicholas says in part : "He was called by his father from Braze- nose College to help him in teaching the free school at Newbury, where they taught school together till the time they came to New Eng- land. The reason of his coming to New Eng- land was because he could not comply with the ceremonies of the Church of England. He was married in England to Sarah Brown, of South Hampton, not long before he came to New England, which was in 1634. In the same ship, the "Mary and John," came Mr. Thomas Parker, Mr. James Noyes, and a younger brother, Nicholas Noyes. On the sea Mr. Parker and Mr. Noyes preached or ex- pounded, one in the forenoon, the other in the afternoon, every day during the voyage, unless some extraordinary thing intervened ; and they were 'abundant in prayer.' Mr. Noyes preached at 'Mistick' a year, and then settled at Newbury, where he continued 'painful and successful' in that station something above twenty years, without any considerable trouble in the church. He was much loved and hon- ored in Newbury, his memory is precious there to this day, and his Catechism (which is a publick and standing testimony of his un- derstanding, and orthodoxy in the principles of religion), is publicly and privately used in that town hitherto. He was very learned in the Tongues, and in the Greek, excelled most. He was much read in the Fathers and the Schoolmen, and much esteemed in the Minis- try. He had a long and tedious sickness, which he bore patiently and cheerfully; and he died joyfully, in the forty-eighth year of his age. October 22, 1656."
His first residence in Newbury was at the Lower Green : but on the removal of the meet- ing house in 1646 to the Upper Green, he built a house on what is now known as Parker

street, and lived there until his death. The widow and children, with Rev. Thomas Park- er as an honored member of the family, con- tinued to live in the house, and it has passed from generation to generation until the last occupant, Mrs. Mary Coffin Noyes, of the sixth generation from Rev. James Noyes. She died in 1895. The old house is still in a good state of preservation, and is Newbury's proudest show place. The later years of Mr. Noyes and Mr. Parker were darkened by a church controversy which began in 1645 and lasted for thirty years, attracting the attention of the whole colony. It originated in the oppo- sition of the claims of Mr. Parker, the min- ister, and Mr. Noyes, the teacher, to exclusive authority in church government and discip- line. The will of Rev. James Noyes, dated October 16, 1656, gave all his real estate and personal property to his wife. In the inven- tory mention is made of a house with seven acres of land adjoining, and an orchard, all valued at one hundred pounds. Children, born in Newbury: I.

William, born September 22, 1653 ; married Sarah Coggswell. 9. Sarah. born March 21, 1656; married Rev. John Hale, progenitor of Nathan Hale, the hero spy. It is related of her that when accused of witchcraft in 1692, that "her worth was so well known, her husband and all the people were convinced that the accuser had perjured herself, and reasoned if so in her case, why not in other cases! From that time they looked at things from a new side, and the spell was broken." She died May 20, 1695.
