Nicholas Noyes was brother of JAMES NOYES {1634, Ipswich}. The two brothers were first cousins of THOMAS PARKER {1634, Ipswich} and fourth cousins of PETER NOYES {1638, Sudbury}.
In his contribution to Mather's Magnalia on the life of James Noyes, Nicholas Noyes, son of this immigrant, recounted the circumstances of his father's migration:
"In the same ship [in 1634] came Mr. Thomas Parker, Mr. James Noyes, and a younger brother of his, Mr. Nicholas Noyes, who was then a single man; between which there was more than ordinary endearment of affection, which was never shaken or broken but by death. And his brother that came over with him a single man, is through the mercy of God yet living; and hath of children, grand-children, and great-grand-children, above an hundred."
