Newbold NOYES: Commissioned First Lieutenant, U. S. Army, November, 1917. Served in France on Staff of Major General Adelbert CRONKHITE, Commanding Eighth Division; in active operations on the British front. Honorably discharged March, 1919.

The name of Sanpete Stake Academy was retained until 1902, when the title was changed to Snow Academy in honor of Pres. Lorenzo Snow and Apostle Erastus Snow. In 1917 the school became the Snow Normal College and in 1923, when advanced college work was stressed, the name was changed to the Snow College. Newton E. Noyes was President of Snow College 1892-1921. John Peterson was his assistant. Mr. Noyes was in charge when the 12 year-old institution had so enlarged its curriculum that the Sanpete stake academy took on the name Snow college. He was still in charge in 1917, when Snow college become Snow Normal college. At that time it was offering a four-year normal course, a three year course in domestic science and domestic art and a three-year course in agriculture. The enrollment for 1897 numbered 198 pupils and there were fifteen graduates. The faculty comprises some of the best educators in the State, [p.115]the personnel of which is as follows: Newton E. Noyes, principal and instructor in theology, rhetoric, pedagogy and physics.

In 1924 Newton E. Noyes succeeded John N. Dorius as second counselor of the South Sanpete Stake of Zion. Lewis R. Anderson acted as president Dec. 31, 1930, with Jacob B. Jacobson as first and Newton E. Noyes as second counselor.

Nicholas was listed at Cholderton in the subsidy rolls of 14 & 15 Henry VIII [1523-4], 10 Jan. 16 Henry VIII [1525], 8 Oct. 32 Henry VIII [1540], 12 Oct. 35 Henry VIII [1543], and 2 Elizabeth I [1559/60]. (Subsidy Rolls, E179/197/156; E179/197/184; E179/197/241; E179/197/275). In 1523/4 he was taxed 21 shillings on goods valued at £21. In 1527 in the Hundred of Ambrysbury "In the parishe of Chalderton [which at that time contained only 57 persons] first Nicholas Nowyse hath whett for the allowance for thye feyndyng of his houssold xvj quarters and to sell vj quarters .... in barley, besydes to sow xxx quarters and for the feynding of his houssold xx quarters and to sell xiiij quarters." (Wiltshire Notes & Queries, 2 (1896-1898): 68-69).

He is on the list of taxpayers for the benevolence of 1545 for Cholderton and was probably the Nicholas Noyes who was named overseer and witnessed the will of Cicilia Noyes of Shipton, widow, in 1546. ("Two Sixteenth Century Taxation Lists", G.D. Ramsay, ed. (Devizes, 1954) p.2. Consistory Court of Wincester, Unlisted Wills and Administrations, U. 129).

At the dissolution of the monastaries, the manor of Littleton passed from the Abbot of St. Peter's, Gloucester, to the Bishop of Gloucester, who soon released it to the King, who then granted it to Sir John St. John. Disputes with tenants ensued. ("The Victoria History of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight", William Page, ed. (London, 1911), p.374; for the St. Johns, see S.T. Bindoff, "The History of Parliment[:] The House of Commons 1509-1558, vol. 3" (London, 1982), pp. 254-255, and "Wiltshire Visitation Pedigrees 1623" (London, 1954), p.168) In 1552, Nicholas St. John claimed that he had purchased two ninth parts of a lease of the manor of Littleton, a property originally leased in 1516 by Nicholas Noyes' parents. The claimants actually came to blows when St. John and his servants came to mow the pasture and were met by the servants of Nicholas Noyes' brother. (REQ2/14/71)

John St. John, Esquire, apparently entered into the manor of Littleton by force after the elder Robert Noyes' death.

In an undated Chancery Proceeding between 1558 and 1579, son Robert Noyes stated that his father had owned a barn and some land in Cholderton and that Nicholas entered into the premises and for divers years solely and alone did enjoy the same until about four years since being a very old man did set and assign the premises amongst divers [other] things to be occupied by the defendant [Robert] and that Nicholas' son Thomas Noyes, yeoman, sold his portion of the interest in the property to Robert Noyes.

Nicholas' son Robert had land in Cholderton that was described in the Patent Roll of 1581/2 as "now or lately in the occupation of Nicholas Noyes or his assignes."

Nicholas Noyes was born in Cholderton, co. Wilts, about 1614. In 1674 he gave his age as about 60 [Ipswich Deeds, 4:187). He married about 1641 Mary Cutting of Newbury who died before 1700. He died in Newbury on November 23, 1701.

What was evidently a family group of six, having decided to go to New England, took the Oath of Allegiance - John Woodbridge, George Brown, Nicholas Noyes, and Richard Brown - on March 24, 1633/34, Thomas Parker and James Noyes on March 26, 1634 - and all embarked on the "<i>Mary and John</i>" at Southampton, reaching Nantasket (now Hull) near Boston sometime in May 1634 and removed to Agwam (Ipswich) where they remained during the following winter. The Rev. Parker and friends remained in Ipswich until the following spring when they applied to the General Court for liberty to settle on the Quascacunquen in an area known as Wessacucon. May 6, 1635, the following orders were passed by the General Court:
- Wessacucon is allowed by the court to be a plantation & it is refered to Mr. Humfry, Mr. Endicott, Capt. Turner and Capt. Trask or any three of them, to sett out the bounds of Ipswich & Wessacucon or so much thereof as they can & the name of the said plantation in changed & hereafter to be called Neweberry.

Most of the passengers who came to New England in the ship "Mary & John" were induced to remove to Newbury early in the year 1635. Tradition asserts that they came by water from Ipswich and landed on the north shore of the Quascacunquen (now Parker) river, about two or three hundred rods below the bridge that connects the "Lower Green" with the "Great Neck" and the town of Rowley. A monument marks the spot where the settlers disembarked in May or June, 1635. Tradition states that young Nicholas was the first person to leap ashore when their boat anchored in the Quascacumquen (now the Parker) River. (John J. Currier, "History of Newbury" p.312; Sarah Anna Emery "Reminiscences of a Nonagenarian" p.112) They joined 23 men and their families who formed a cattle-breeding company and were among the first settlers at Newbury where their children were born. Newbury's first minister was Thomas Parker, a cousin.

Rev. Nicholas Noyes, in his account of his uncle, Rev. James Noyes, told of the coming of Mr. Parker, Mr. Noyes and his younger brother Nicholas Noyes, a single man, adding "between which three was more than ordinary endearment of affection, which was broken but by death."

Nicholas took the Freeman's Oath in Cambridge on May 17, 1637 when he and eight others walked from Newbury to Cambridge to vote for Gov. Winthrop. On April 21, 1638, he was one of five men fined 2s. 6d. apiece for absence from Newbury town meeting after due warning. The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock in the morning! Two of the men (not Nicholas) had their fines remitted, having sufficient excuses.

It must have been very soon after this that Noyes sailed on a voyage to England, possibly to settle family affairs and to report on conditions in Massachusetts Bay. He returned to New England on the "<i>Jonathan</i>" which sailed from London, probably soon after April 12, 1639, and "came to Anchor in Boston Harbor." Also on the "Jonathan" were Anthony Somerby of Newbury and Mr. Peter Noyes of Sudbury, who, having come over on the "<i>Confidence</i>" in 1638, aged 47, and found New England to his liking, had gone back to his home in Penton, near Andover, co. Hants, to fetch his family. Peter was doubtless a kinsman of Nicholas. [Register, 32:411]

When it was proposed to remove the inhabitants of Newbury from their first settlement on the Parker river to a new site nearer the Merrimac, Nicholas Noyes was a freeholder and a deputy "for the managing of those things that concern the ordering of the New Town" on December 7, 1642.

In 1650 Nicholas and four other men were before the court for saying that "the elders would transgress for a morsel of bread." He lost no prestige thereby for on September 30, 1651, at Ipswich he was sworn clerk of the Newbury market. In 1652 many were brought before the court for not observing the Sumptuary laws of 1651. The records say "Nicholas Noyes' wife, Hugh March's wife, and William Chandler's wife were each presented for wearing a silk hood and scarf; but were discharged on proof that their husbands were worth £200 each. John Hutchins' wife was also discharged upon testifying that she was brought up above the ordinary rank."

The town voted on November 29, 1652, that a school house be built and that £20 a year be appropriated for the schoolmaster, and Mr. Woodman, Richard Kent, jun., Lieut. Pike and Nicholas Noyes were named the committee to carry it out.

Thomas Noyes of Sudbury, son of Peter Noyes, had apparently settled in Newbury, but returned to live in Sudbury before 1656 when he appointed his friend Mr. Nicholas Noyes, gentleman, and Robert Long, both of Newbury, his attorneys to let his house and lands.

Nicholas was appointed Commissioner to End Small Causes, or local justice, in 1657 and 1658. His most important service, however, was as deputy to the General Court in 1660 and in 1678 when on September 19 he was chosen by the town "to serve at the next session of the Court until it be ended," a special session having been called for October 2 at which the oath of allegiance to King Charles II was submitted and signed by the deputies; he served also 28 May 1679, 19 May 1680, and 4 Jan 1680-84.

In the long and bitter controversy between Rev. Mr. Parker and Edward Woodman, Nicholas was one of Parker's chief supporters. He was chosen deacon of the First Parish of Newbury on March 20, 1683/4.

Sometime before his death his son Nicholas, the Salem parson, wrote of him as "through the mercy of God yet living, and hath of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren above one hundred."

In deed 15:41 at Salem he conveyed the property to grandson Nicholas, son of his son John April 19, 1698. Deed 27:8 Salem 1 Apr 1673 is an agreement between parents Nicholas and Mary and their son Cutting.

The homestead of Nicholas Noyes was owned and occupied in 1885 by the heirs of Nathaniel Little.

Hypothetical son of Peter - disproved.

Nicholas Noyes Rev. Born 22 Dec 1647, in Newbury, Massachusetts. Died 13 Dec 1717, in Salam, Massachusetts. Nicholas graduated at Harvard, 1667 (A.B.) and was made freeman 13 May 1669. He was Chaplain of Connecticut regiment at Great Swamp Fight, 19 Dec 1675. He preached 13 years at Haddam, Connecticut and became the seventh minister in Salem, Massachusetts 23 Oct 1682-83 with a salary of £80 and 20 cords of wood annually, and was ordained over the First Church 14 Nov 1683. He officiated as clergyman at the hanging of the witches, 22 Sep 1692, and later in life he repented of his part in the witchcraft persecutions, and did what he could to assist the dependent families. In 1698 he preached the election sermon, and about 1702 wrote the memoir of his uncle Rev. James Noyes, in Mather's Magnalia. Rev Nicholas never married.

Also, a witness at the hanging of at least 4 "witches" in Salem.

Hist. of Salem, Vol III, p.127: The largest library in Salem at this period belonged to Rev. Nicholas Noyes, which was valued at the time of his death at £88, eighteen shillings and eight pence. Books had greatly increased in numbers, and a variety of subject matter. Religious books were not in the great majority that they had been.

Hist. of Salem, Vol III, p.408: After the death of Mr. Higginson, Rev. Nicholas Noyes was the sole pastor of the First Church. It appears that he wished to have George Corwin, as a colleague, soon after Mr. Higginson's death. At length, in May, 1711, he was invited to become a colleague of Mr. Noyes over the First Church here.

"Nicholas Noyes at Salem (Mass?) before 1685 wrote this homely, yet sensible
quatrain :
They who write histories
Write many things they see with others' eyes ;
'Tis fair, where nought is feigned, nor undigested,
Nor ought but what is credibly attested."

(Nought (naught) means nothing, and ought (aught) means anything in

Removed to Abington, Mass. in 1712 with his younger brother Samuel. Deed 19 Apr 1698 to his brother Daniel, mentions his father and mother and grandfather Deacon Nicholas Noyes (17 : 2 at Salem).

Moved to Abington with brother Samuel in 1712.

Noyes Pedigree: Deed 19 Apr 1698, to his brother Daniel, mentions his father and mother, and grandfather Deacon Nicholas Noyes (17:2 at Salem).

Died at 14 years.

He was a prominent physician. In his will his son, Dr. Ward Noyes, was given the homestead and all his "physical books," and was to care for his mother and unmarried sisters. To his sons Samuel and James were bequeathed his lands in Winchendon.

The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution: Nicholas Noyes, (1761-1844), served as a volunteer in the militia. He was born in East Kingston, N. H.

He raised grandson Crosby Stuart Noyes after one of his daughters had an illicit affair with a local preacher.

"Hist. of Androscoggin": In 1800 he was listed as a voter in Androscoggin County, Maine. When the town of Minot was set off from the northern part of the town of Poland and incorporated in 1802 Nicholas was one of the first to be elected selectman.

"At one time when Esquire Noyes was about to raise a small farm building he sent for Joseph Washburn and his sons to help. When they reached the place he said, 'I've bought some rum, and it's generally customary to take it after the building is raised, but there are only a few of us, and it'll make us a little stronger to lift, so I guess we'll drink it now.'"

Nicholas H. Noyes was born in Dansville in 1883 and was a graduate of Cornell University. He was associated with Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company, for many years. A notable philanthropist, he gave support to many institutions, among them Cornell University, local churches, Dansville Public Library. The Dansville Hospital was named in his memory, the Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Hospital.

Abraham Lincoln wrote the fourth copy of his Gettysburg speech to help the Baltimore Sanitary Fair raise money for soldiers. But he used both sides of the paper, making it unsuitable for reproduction in a book to be sold at the fair. Historian George Bancroft, who had requested the manuscript, kept it. The document stayed in the Bancroft family until Cornell University Prof. Wilder D. Bancroft sold it in 1929 to Madigan. The appraised value was $100,000. As the Depression deepened, Madigan had to sell the copy for half the amount he had paid a few years earlier. Indianapolis dealer Arthur Zinkin obtained the document in 1935, apparently on behalf of the wife of a former drug company executive, Nicholas Noyes, and the couple presented it to Cornell University in 1949. There it remains to this day.

Nicholas N. Noyes, dentist, of Roxbury, was born March 25, 1835, in New Durham, N. H.

Mr. Noyes enlisted as a private in Company C, Forty-eighth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Sept. 20, 1862; was commissioned second lieutenant of Company F, Nov. 3, 1862; first lieutenant Dec. 29, 1862, and was discharged Sept. 3, 1863. He was commissioned captain of Company A, Fourth Battalion, M. V. M., June 30, 1873, and resigned Jan. 22, 1877. He was a lieutenant of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1877.

Capt. Noyes was a member of Aberdour Lodge, A. F. and A. M., receiving the degrees in that Lodge. He died March 22, 1888.

Niles Noyes was born in Tobin Township, Perry County, Indiana, in December 1828. He was the fristborn of Jonathan and his second wife, Nancy Miller. He was educated in this area and eventually left school to help his father. He learned to farm, and from oral history in the family, became quite good at it. This seems to have been his chief occupation most of his life.

He moved to Harrison Co. Indiana in about 1854, and settled in Taylor Township. There he met his wife, Lucinda H. Keen, daughter of William and Susan Keen. They were married 25 January 1856, in Harrison County. They raised a large family of seven children. Two boys, John W. and George F., appear to have died about the time of the Civil war. I have found no record of this, however they disappear from the Census of 1870, at an early age. In addition to farming, Niles also took a job at a local sawmill prior to 1870. This would have provided income during the winter mounths.

On 23 April 1872, Niles bought 40 acres of land in the SW quarter of section 33, where he farmed until his death. By the Fall of 1887, on September 14th, Niles sold 32 acres of his farm, and retained the 8 acres where his house was located. Lucinda died on 28 October 1889. She is burried in Rogers Campground Church Cemetary, near Elizabeth, Indiana, and a stone was placed on her grave.

On 31 Aug. 1890, Jonathan remarried. His second wife, Sarah E. Miller, was a woman much his junior, and I believe this was a marriage of convenience. At the time he was 62 and she, 39. Niles youngest daughter would have been but 12 years of age.

Niles died on 02 April 1903, at his home in Harrison County, Indiana. Niles Noyes's death does not appear on any state records, however his obituary was found in the "Corydon Democrat", of Harrison County IN , in the Wed., 6 May 1903 issue. Cause of death listed as Kidney Failure. His place of internment is listed as Rogers Campground Church Cemetery. There is no stone for Niles however there is one for his Frist wife Lucinda. It is believed that he is buried next to her, where there are two unmarked graves.

Savage: Hutchinson, wh. well kn. him, gives character, II. 249.

Wheeler: July 28, 1715, Doctor Noyes of Boston, one of the Plymouth Proprietors, built a fort of stone at Cushenoc on the bank of the Kennebec River near the head of the tide which is said to have been the best fortification in the eastern country. Cushenoc was later called Harrington and is now known as Augusta. This garrison (Fort George) was maintained at public expense and gave encouragement to the establishment of the towns of Brunswick, Topsham and Georgetown. According to Penhallow("Indian Wars", printed in 1726), Noyes "built a stone garrison in "Augusta" at his own charge". At the June 7, 1717 meeting, the Proprietors drew lots for choice of land. Oliver drew Lot #6. He was Representative in the General Court, and died March 16, 1721-2. After this the fort was neglected; and in Lovewell's War, the inhabitants withdrew, and the Indians burnt it with several houses and in 7 or 8 years the fishery ceased."

The Noyes Descendants, Vol. II: Graduate of Harvard, 1695; A.M. 1721. He was a physician in Boston and Medford, but found time to manifest a deep interest in everything concerning the welfare of his native place. A local historian says: "He must have entered into public life and enterprise to improve his native town in early life; and from the magnitude of his undertakings resembled the great author of India and Central wharves, Broad, India, Market (now Cornhill), Brattle streets, and the Mildham, a solid causeway. He was one of the original projectors of Long Wharf, and the erection of that pier may justly be attributed to his enterprising spirit. The work was commenced soon after the great fire of 1711, which commenced in Capt. Ephraim Savage's house, in William's court, and swept off both sides of Cornhill, part of Court (Queen) street, and State (King) street, to the dock, together with the Town House and the First Church, where Joy's building afterward stood... He was of the party which followed the leadership of Elisha Cook (1699), one of the most active and prominent men of the time." He was one of the proprietors of "Pejepscott" (Brunswick, Topsham, and Brunswick, Me.), and "14 Sept., 1715, was given consent to take his lot of land next to 'Maquoit' he promising to build a defensible house there the next spring." He was an officer of the Artillery company, 1699. He was selectman, 1708-1711, and from 1719 to 1721, and held other public offices. Representative to the General Court, 1714, ཌ, ཏ, and ཙ. The inventory of his estate in the county, not including valuable properties elsewhere, amounted to 17,193 pounds.

ORLANDO G. NOYES: Among the respected and worthy citizens of Coldwater now living retired is numbered Orlando G. Noyes, whose birth occurred on Chestnut street in Rochester, New York, August 1, 1839. The family is of English lineage, and the grandfather, Samuel P. Noyes, was born and lived in the east. His son, Samuel P. Noyes, Jr., was born in the southeastern part of Vermont in 1803. and during his active business career engaged in the manufacture of shoe pegs and lasts, conducting a factory in Rochester. He wedded Mary Brezee, who was a native of Connecticut and was of French and English lineage. They became the parents of nine children, of whom one son and one daughter died in early life, while the others reached adult age.
Orlando G. Noyes, the eldest of the seven who grew to manhood and womanhood, was reared in Rochester and in Penfield, New York, and pursued his education in the common schools. He afterward assisted his father in business until the latter's death. When only thirteen years of age he began learning the printer's trade, and to that pursuit largely gave his time and attention until after the outbreak of the Civil war, when in 1861 he enlisted as a musician of the Ninth Michigan Volunteer Infantry, serving for eleven months. He was captured at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, being taken prisoner by Generals Foster and Wheeler. He was paroled, however, about ten miles southeast of McMinnville, Tennessee, and returned to Nashville, whence he made his way to Coldwater, Michigan, where he had located in 1846, his parents in that year having established their home here, while the father carried on business as a boot and shoe merchant.
Mr. Noyes worked in the printing office of the Coldwater Sentinel, of which Elihu B. Pond was the editor and proprietor. He continued with that paper for two or three years, after which he entered the office of the Branch County Republican, remaining in that employ until the time of his enlistment in the Civil war. Following the close of hostilities and his return to Coldwater Mr. Noyes was engaged in the liquor business in connection with his father, manufacturing and rectifying whisky for about two years. He also conducted a billiard hall for some time and had a soda water fountain. Later he spent about six months in Chicago, and subsequent to his return to Coldwater he was elected city marshal, which position he held for two terms. Later he and Frank Noyes built and conducted what is known as the Farmers' Feed Stables, beginning the business in January, 1892, and conducting the same until 1904. He then went to Denver, Colorado, where he spent three months in visiting his brother, Frank Noyes, an expert violin manufacturer, whose violins are known throughout the world, and have been tested in comparison with some of the old and famous instruments, including the Stradivarius, which are worth four thousand dollars. The violins manufactured by Mr. Noyes were found to be of superior grade and workmanship. Following his visit in the west Orlando G. Noyes returned to Coldwater, where he is now living practically retired, but he and his brother Frank own property here, including the west half of the Noyes block. The east store of the Noyes block is now owned by the Eldridge heirs, Mrs. Amelia Hobbie, of Kankakee, Ill., Mrs. Florence Vankirk, and Mrs. Josephine Smith, of Nomence, Ill. The three-story brick block at the corner of Chicago and Hanchett streets was built by S. P. Noyes, Jr., and his son, Orlando G. Noyes, in 1866, and is known as the Noyes block, located on the northeast corner of Chicago and Hanchett Streets, Coldwater. He resides at No. 34 Hanchett street, where he has lived for fifty-three years.
Mr. Noyes is a member of the Masonic fraternity in good standing, and exemplifies in his life the beneficent spirit of the craft. He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason September 10, 1869, and has since affiliated with the organization. He is likewise a charter member of Butterworth Post, G. A. R., and of the Union Veterans' Union, and he had the honor of presenting the name of W. W. Barrett, which was accepted.
Mr. Noyes was married in 1884 to Miss Emma Haines, the youngest daughter of Robert and Julia Haines, of Ovid township, Branch county, Michigan. He has lived in Coldwater for fifty-nine years and may well be class
