• Rev. William Noyes (vol. 1, pp. 18, 43-44): "born in 1568"; matriculated at University College, Oxford, 15 Nov 1588, aged 20, B.A. 31 May 1592; "instituted rector of Cholderton in 1602, and married Anne Parker about 1595." He "died intestate before 30 April, 1622, when an inventory was made, and widow appointed administratrix 28 May, 1622." Anne (Parker) Noyes "was born 1575, and buried at Cholderton, 7 March, 1657," aged 82 by the parish register; her will (18 March 1655, Somerset House, Wootton 130) gives "one shilling to each of my sons, James and Nicholas, now in New England," and names her son-in-law Thomas Kent of Upper Wallop. Their sons included Ephraim, Nathan (who succeeded his father as rector in 1622), James and Nicholas.
• Rev. James Noyes (vol. 1, p. 19): "born in England about 1608; matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, 22 Aug., 1627, but was not graduated; died at Newbury, Mass., 22 Oct., 1656, aet. 48; married, 1633, Sarah, eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Brown, of Southampton, county Hants, Eng. She died 13 Sept., 1691, at Newbury." In March 1633/4 he, his wife, his brother Nicholas and their cousin Thomas Parker took the oath to pass for New England in the Mary and John (vol. 1, p. 44).
• Vol. 2, pp. 19-21, prints the account of Rev. James that his nephew Rev. Nicholas Noyes sent to Cotton Mather for the Magnalia: "born in 1608, in Choulderton, Wiltshire, of Godly parents. His father was a Minister of the same town,—a very learned man"; he "was married in England to Miss Sarah Brown, of South Hampton, not long before he came to New England, which was in 1634"; "on the sea Mr. Parker and Mr. Noyes preached or expounded, one in the forenoon, and the other in the afternoon, every day during the voyage"; at Newbury he was teacher "something above twenty years"; "He was very learned in the Tongues, and in the Greek, excelled most"; "He was as religious at home as abroad"; "he died joyfully, in the forty-eighth year of his age, Oct. 22, 1656."
• His children (vol. 2, pp. 42-43) include "MOSES, b. 16 Dec., 1643; m. Ruth Pickett; d. 10 Nov., 1726."
• Rev. Moses Noyes (vol. 2, ch. V, p. 158): "Son of Rev. James and Sarah (Brown), was born in Newbury, 16 Dec., 1643; married Ruth Pickett (granddaughter of Elder Brewster of Plymouth Colony); died 10 Nov., 1729. Graduate of Harvard 1659; Fellow of Yale 1706. He was the first minister of Lyme, Conn., where he preached fifty years. He had Cedar Swamp lots awarded for Indian War service (Naragansett Vols.)" Children, born in Lyme: Moses (1678), John, Ruth, "SARAH, b. 1683; m. Timothy Mather; d. 16 Aug., 1756," and Naomi.

The book gives Moses's death as 1726 on p. 43 and 1729 on p. 158; his birth as 16 Dec, where the Newbury record has 6 Dec 1643.

For King Philip's War (research/king-philips-war/): the memoir of Rev. James Noyes of Stonington (vol. 2, ch. IV), "Chaplain with Capt. George Denison's expedition that captured Canonchet, chief sachem of the Narragansett Indians, April, 1676." Moses's "Cedar Swamp lots awarded for Indian War service (Naragansett Vols.)" are borne out by the Voluntown lists, where he is no. 180 of the "English Volunteers in the late Narraganset War" and drew Cedar Swamp lot 32, his brother James no. 50 (Bodge, pp. 442-445); how Moses served is not recorded.
