pp. 6-7: Rev. James Noyes “was born in Choulderton, Wiltshire, 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. His father, Rev. William Noyes, was rector of the parish of Choulderton … The register of the diocese shows that he officiated in the parish from 1602 to 1621 … The wife of Rev. William and mother of our immigrant ancestor, was sister of Rev. Robert Parker, a learned Puritan divine and a graduate of Oxford, who was driven to Holland for non-conformity. Our ancestor, Rev. James, married in 1634 Sarah, eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Brown, of Southampton, England, and in March of that year embarked for New England, in company with his brother Nicholas and his cousin Thomas Parker, in the ship ‘Mary and John,’ of London.” His widow “survived until September 13, 1691.”
Among the children: “MOSES (Rev.), born Dec. 6, 1643; graduated at Harvard, 1659; he became the first minister in Lyme, Conn., where he died Nov. 10, 1726; he married Ruth Picket, daughter of John Picket, a well known and active merchant of New London, Conn.” (The 1904 Noyes genealogy and the Brewster genealogy have his death in 1729.)
