Sarah Brown

Sarah, probably the eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Brown of Southampton, married Rev. James Noyes in England "not long before he came to New England," and they sailed together in the Mary and John in 1634. She bore him nine children at Newbury, among them Rev. Moses Noyes of Lyme, and outlived him by thirty-five years (source).

King Philip's War. Two of her sons served Connecticut as volunteers. Rev. James Noyes of Stonington (1640-1719) "was Chaplain with Capt. George Denison's expedition that captured Canonchet, chief sachem of the Narragansett Indians, April, 1676" (Noyes 1904, quoting La Verne W. Noyes), and "Rev. James Noyes" and "Rev. Moses Noyes," her son of Lyme, are both on the lists of Connecticut volunteers who drew land at Voluntown for their service (Soldiers in King Philip's War, pp. 442-445). Her nephew Rev. Nicholas Noyes was chaplain of the Connecticut regiment at the Great Swamp Fight (Bodge p. 183). A "Thomas Noyce, Cornet," perhaps her son Thomas, born in 1648, rode in Capt. Nicholas Paige's troop and was credited on 3 Sept 1675; he "of Newbury, was chosen, 1683, Capt. of the second Newbury company" (Bodge p. 86).

Her will, made on 11 Nov 1681, was proved on 29 Sept 1691; she had died at Newbury that month, on 13 Sept (Noyes 1904).
