Removed to Abington, Mass., with his brother Nicholas in 1712. Although the youngest of the six sons of John, he was the progenitor of more descendants of the name than all the others together; his third son, John, had eight sons and seventy-five grand children, of whom thirty-three were sons who had families. He was elected selectman in 1719 and was town clerk in 1726.

Samuel was from Newbury. He removed to Abington, Mass., with his oldest brother Nicholas in 1712. Samuel and Nicholas lived near each other in the (present) town of West Abington. Nicholas died in 1718. Samuel was elected selectman in 1719 and was town clerk in 1726. He was always referred to as a blacksmith on town deeds. Samuel owned four major tracts of land along the Abington - Bridgewater border. The first tract, the homestead lot, was bought in 2 pieces. The first half (40 acres) was bought from William Reed for £40. The second half (35 acres) was bought on 1 Aug 1726 from the same William Reed for £35. This land in Abington was on the Bridgewater-Weymouth road east of Stream's Swamp in the "Young Mens Shares". Wife Hannah and son Samuel inherited this lot. The second tract, the 50 acre lot, was also bought in 2 pieces. The first half (22.5 acres) was bought on 22 Apr 1720 from Micah Pratt for £40. The second half (30 acres) was bought on 19 Jan 1725-6 from Jacob Reed (Hannah's future husband) for £30. These lots, 66% of lots 23 and 24, strattled the Abington - Bridgewater border, were in the "Old Mens Shares" and were east of Stream's Swamp. This tract was inherited by daughter Abigail and Hannah's unborn child. The third tract, the 100 acre lot, was bought on 20 Sep 1723 from Thomas Snell. This lot was on the same border at the easterly end of lots 16, 17 and 18 in the "Old Mens Shares". The lot was divided between sons John and Daniel on Samuel's death. The fourth tract, the 70 acre sawmill lot, was bought in two pieces. The first half (40 acres) was bought on 19 Oct 1724 from Luke Perkins for £30. The second half (40 acres) was bought from brother Nicholas' wife Sarah (now wife of Nicholas Porter) on 26 Jan 1726-7 for £55.

Samuel owned (1 Feb 1722) part interest in a forge (Packard's), a dam, a building, timber and 50% interest in the sawmill on Beaver Brook on this lot. Son Samuel was willed 33% of this land and his interest in the sawmill while son Jacob received 66% of the land. Samuel also received cousin Sarah's (wife of John Badger of Norwich CT) portion of her father Nicholas' undivided estate on 6 Oct 1724 for £30. He owned iron mines in Stoughton and 12% of an iron forge in Bridgewater (Packard's Mill). The iron was probably used in his forge and blacksmith business. Samuel died young at the age of 37, bodily indigent but of perfect mind.

In the early part of I834 several energetic citizens of Canaan, and prominent among them was the lawyer, George Kimball, procured subscriptions sufficient to build a house, and to buy half an acre of land, for grounds. It was located in the field next south of the Congregational Meeting House, with an ornamental fence in front. There were sixty contributors to the enterprise, and chief among them stood the venerable farmer, Samuel Noyes, for whom the contemplated school was named. The amount subscribed was $1,000, of which sum only $80 was subscribed by the opponents of the school, and only $20 of that was ever paid, the friends of the school offering at that time to assume the whole $80. Application was made to the legislature for a charter which was granted July 4, 1834, to Samuel Noyes, George Kimball, Nathaniel Currier, George Walworth and John H. Harris, as incorporators of Noyes Academy. The charter provided for the "education of youth." That the corporation could hold estate not to exceed $15,000, to be divided into one thousand shares of $15 each. Property by way of gift could be held to any amount.

"Old Newbury": He confined himself more at home, was very hard working, disposed to look on the shady side of life and always anticipating trouble in some form. His expression was always mournful.

A National Park maritime historian told me in a recent email that piracy re-emerged in the early 19th century, after having been wiped out by the British a century before. [Jon L. Noyes]

Samuel M. and Jane (Buell) Noyes lived in the south part of the village on C.C. Winter's place. He was full of good natured jokes, and while building the Congregational Church, which originally had a large window in the rear of the pulpit, the pastor, Rev. Mr. Wheelock, remarked that it seemed very large, whereupon Mr. Noyes, looking on the assembled crowd, with a knowing wink retorted "Pretty much all the Light we get from the pulpit, we expect will come throough that window."

S. Newell Noyes was reared in the Granite State, and received a liberal education for those days at Montpelier, Vt. During his younger days, he taught school for a number of years in his native State, but for about one year after his removal to Dodge county, Wisconsin, in 1845, he made his home with his brother Isaac, in Burnett Township, whom he assisted in the duties of farm work. He afterward located on some land he had entered and purchased in connection with his brother Bradley, and in 1847, having come to the wise conclusion that "it is not good for man to live alone", he was united in marriage with Miss Mary A. Curtis, a native of England, who came to America in the early part of 1847, and until her marriage made her home with a sister who resided two miles east of Beaver Dam. Mr. and Mrs. Noyes then resided on some land two miles east of Beaver Dam for two years, then made a permanent settlement on the land owned by Mr. Noyes. He became one of the most influential and successful farmers of the county, improved a magnificent farm, and tilled it in a manner that showed that he was the thorough master of the "primitive occupation of man".

On January 1, 1878, he was called upon to pay the last debt of nature, and his walk through life was such that of him it was with truth said "Well done, thou good and faithful servant". His widow survives him and resides in the old homestead, which is now a part of the prosperous city of Beaver Dam. To their union four children were born: Algernon F.; Eda, wife of E.L. Atwood, of Trempealeau County, Wis.; Gesza H.; and Clarence, who died in infancy. In politics Mr. Noyes always espoused the principles of the Republican party, and although interested in the success of his party, never sought or desired public preferment.

Born in Vermont near the New York state line. After Samuel and Cynthia married, they located on the Vermont side of the line, and there resided until after the birth of their first child, when, about 1804, they removed to Preston, Chenango Co., N. Y., during its early settlement. Samuel learned the trade of a mason while a young man in Vermont, and followed it in his new home, in connection with farming. In 1827 the family migrated to Perrinton, Monroe County, where the parents spent the remainder of their days, the father passing away at the ripe old age of eighty-seven years, while his wife had died many years previously, when fifty-seven years of age. The father was a prominent and influential citizen, a well-educated and intelligent man, and was known as an upright citizen. In his early years he utilized his education by engaging in the profession of school teaching; he was also prominent in local politics. In his early years he affilliated with the Democratic party, but later in life he joined the ranks of the Republicans, and died in the faith of that party. He at various times held several of the local offices, including that of Township Clerk in Preston Township, Chenango Co., N.Y., and discharged its duties for a period of twenty years. He and his wife were conscientious members of the Baptist Church, and Mr. Noyes was a brother of the minister of that name in the same church.

Children resided in Coldwater, Batavia, and Hillsdale, MI.

Masonic Lodges.
Freemasonry first had a permanent foothold in Coldwater in 1847, there having been many Masons in the village prior to that time, but no organized lodge. From that period to the present the institution has grown and prospered until it has become an established power in the city. No special events have marked its progress, however, other than participation in occasional public ceremonies to which the various lodges were invited.
