Noyes Gilman Ancestry Being A PDF Download

Excerpt from Noyes-Gilman Ancestry: Being a Series of Sketches, With a Chart of the Ancestors of Charles Phelps Noyes and Emily H. (Gilman) Noyes, His Wife To My Children: This book is the result of some eighteen years of research begun for my own pleasure and with no thought of publication. I have found so much, however, that is interesting about your ancestors, especially those who bore a prominent part in the very early history of our country, that I am sure you would be deprived of a great inspiration in your own lives if you had no personal acquaintance with them. As there are two families of Noyes, your uncles and ours, who have the same descent from all these ancestors, the number interested seemed to warrant publishing my notes in this form, which has been made possible only by the invaluable assistance of your mother, who has given much time and thought to its preparation. These memoirs of your ancestors are in most cases brief, only enough being given to show when and where they lived, their occupation and public service, and so far as possible their characteristics, together with what we know of their wives and children. Much more may be learned regarding many of them by reference to the authorities given in the bibliography. The sketches of your grandparents, you will see, are quite different from the rest and are in narrative form, fuller and more personal. This was done purposely that you might know them as we have and so more fully appreciate the beauty of their lives. The sketch of your grandfather and grandmother Oilman (136) was written by your mother. One interesting feature of my work has been the discovery that so many of these worthies were friends and associates. For instance, in Newbury alone, were living at the same time: Rev. James Noyes(2), Nathaniel Clarke (139), Henry Somerby (140), Edmund Greenleaf (140-A), George Little (145), and Tristram Coffyn (147-A), while through correspondence, intermarriage and public service, these men were in communication with others of your ancestors on both sides, living in New Hampshire, Plymouth Colony, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
