Noyes Genealogy
In the year 1086, William des Noyers, follower of William the Conqueror, settled in Norfolk and Suffolk regions of England. It is believed that the family lived for 500 years in this narrow region. During these 500 years, it is though the "des" was dropped and Noyers shortened to Noyes.

The first ancestors which have been possible to trace was Robert Noyes of Cholderton, County Wilts, England, born before 1540. He was the father of sons Reverend William, born 1568; Robert, born 1570; Richard, date of birth unknown. Reverend William Noyes attended University College at Oxford. He entered college in 1588 and earned his B.A. in 1592. He married Anne Parker around 1595 and died before April 1622. They had 5 sons and one daughter.

Noyes Family Tree

My name is Christopher. It is my hope that this website/blog will enable me to track my family's genealogy as far back and as completely as I can. I will list what information I have and hopefully some other Noyes' out there will stumble across this and add their history to what I have.

This family tree was not started by me. My grandfather, Albert Edward Noyes began researching his genealogy many years ago. He is very curious about where our family was and currently is. I hope to continue what he started.
