He died on 23 Nov 1701 in Newbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts.⁽¹⁶⁷⁾⁽⁷¹⁷⁸⁾⁽⁷¹⁷⁹⁾⁽⁷¹⁸⁰⁾⁽⁷¹⁸¹⁾ He was buried on 23 Nov 1701.⁽¹⁶⁷⁾ His estate was probated on 29 Dec 1701.⁽⁷¹⁸²⁾⁽⁷¹⁸³⁾⁽⁷¹⁸⁴⁾ Sailed on ship Mary + John of London, Robert Sayres, Master, on 23 Mar. 1634 with brother James and sister-in-law Sarah. On board also were John Woodbridge, George Brown, Richard Brown and Thomas Parker, perhaps relatives. The ship was detained in the Thames where all passengers signed the oath of allegiance to the king and the church 24 Mar. 1634, before they were allowed to sail from London. They arrived at Nantasket (now Hull), MA, near Boston 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 brigde 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. He was named deacon of the First Parish 20 Mar 1634/35, supporting the Rev. Parker in a long bitter church vs state dispute. Nicholas took the freeman's oath 17 May 1637, when he and eight others walked from Newbury to Cambridge to vote for Gov. Winthrop. He returned to England, possibly to settle family affairs and to report on conditions in Massachusetts Bay, and returned in 1639 on the Jonathan, and 'came to anchor in Boston Harbor' accompanied by Anthony Somerby of Newbury and Peter Noyes of Sudbury. 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. He served Newbury on the school committee in 1652, and was deputy to the Great and General Court of the King at Boston, from Newbury, 19 Dec 1660, 28 May 1679, 19 May 1680, and 4 Jan 1680-84. 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 œ200 each. John Hutchins' wife was also discharged upon testifying that she was brought up above the ordinary rank.' 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 in 1679, 1680 and 1680/1. 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. The Founders of New England. R929.374 D789R Came on Mary + John of London with James Noyce (noted in passengers in 1633-34; Robert Sayers, Mastre, 24 March, 1633. On the ship Confidence of London, John Jobson Master left Southampton 24 Arpil 1638 and brought Peter Noyce of Penton, Southampton, Thomas Noyce and Elizabeth daughter. These settled in Sudbury, MA). It is believed that James and Nicholas landed on the banks of the Mystic River, the records show that they settled in Medford, MA in 1634 and moved to Newbury the following year. On arriving the sailed up the Parker River (then called Quascacunquen); traditions says that Nicholas was the first to leap ashore. These were copied out of an olde Bod of Orders belonging to the Port of Southton but now remaining at the Custom House in Portsmouth , the 6th day of Dec 1735. IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR OF PAUL M.
