Robert Noyes, of Cholderton

From Noyes-Gilman Ancestry

ROBERT NOYES, son of Robert and Joan (Attridge) Noyes, is referred to in his uncle Richard's will as " Robert noyes of Cholderton." He received from his father the estate of Hatherdean in Weghill, near Cholderton, purchased in 1574. He died in 1636 and was buried in the chancel of the Andover Church. He left a numerous family, and made a cousin, Peter Noyes of Andover, his executor. If, as is conjectured, he was the grandfather of Rev. James Noyes (2), of Newbury, Mass., he was still living when his noted grandson married and left his native country for New England. Probably the three brothers whom we know of as living at Cholderton were his sons, but absolute proof is still wanting. They are as follows:

(i) William, born in 1568, married Anne Parker ; became Rector of Cholderton in 1601, and died in 1621.

Robert, born in 1570; styled yeoman; died Jan. 20, 1659, aged eighty-nine, and was buried under at Cholderton.

Richard also called yeoman; married Sara . His will was made Aug. 25, 1639, and the inventory Oct. 26, of the same year.
