Pierre Noe, Nuee, Nowe, Nue, Newe, New, Nui, Niu

This is a most interesting French Huguenot family in the Protestant Families found in the vicinity of the Nantes before 1685 the year of "The Revocation". There was not only a representative of this family in the Ancienne Province of Poictos, but a very famous preacher, a leader of the refugees, Francois sieur de la Noue.

Walsdant was perhaps the birthplace of Pierre Noe: it is not specified as residence. It is possible that southwest of Geneva was the former home of the Noe family. It is somewhat accepted that the New Jersey Noes descend from Pierre, or Peter Noe, who was listed with 89 other passengers of the ship "T Bonte Koe" meaning Spotted Cow. Jan Hansen Bergen master, Dutch West India Company as Sailing April 16, 1663. Pierre came with his wife and her sister, also, a small daughter. (Walleran Dumont, brother of the sisters, came from Amsterdam, Holland to New Amsterdam 1657. He was unmarried and gave his birthplace as Coomen, Flanders. He came over either in the ship "Draetvat" Captain Beslevoer, which sailed from Amsterdam 2 April 1657, or in the ship "Jan Baptist" which sailed from the same port 23 Dec. 1657.)

In Dec. 1664 Pierre Noe was at Wilwyck, Wsopus, or Kingston, Ulster Co. NY, but it is uncertain how long he stayed there. The location of Pierre Noe on Stanton Island seems to have been near John King, Alexander Stuary, and Aaron Johnson. He lived by the "hy ways goeing mill on the south sid" New Creek, miss-named for him, "gave them access through the salt meadow to the lower bay." Just when Peter Noe removed from Stanton Island to Elizabethtown which included Radway, N.J. seems uncertain. In 1675, he became an Elizabethtown associate and in 1687, there is a record of the transfer to him by William Piles of land now in Clark township, possibly as a third lot right in Elizabethtown.

The will of Pierre Noe dated 1709, proved 1710 mentions daughter Mary (Noe) Trembles and his son John, or Jean Noe. The later was married by the Rev. M. Pierre Peirt on Sunday "2 xbre 1694" in the French church on Pettycoat-Lane, NY, to Elizabeth Damaris Girard, sister of, or daughter of Isaac Girard, whose wife was Marie Roubin, or Robin Girard.

From the will and inventory, it seems evident that Pierre Noe lived in 1709 in Radway "in Elizabeth Town" although he gave to his children respectively a house at the corner "of a street called Wall Street, adjoining to the house and land of Mortier, a comb maker," and a house at the corner of "a street called New Street, by the Broad Street and adjoining to the house of Nicholoas Deque, deceased, in present downtown New York."

Trembley Point

http://www.colorantshistory.org/TremleyHistory.html

... The early colonial settlers established farms in the rich flat land bordered by marshes. A Huguenot named Traubels settled on the peninsula in the 17th century, changing his name to Trembley. Over time the area’s name became known as Tremley Point or simply Tremley. During the Revolutionary War both armies traversed Union County, subjecting the area residents to skirmishes and foraging raids by the troops. The area was in the thick of fighting because the land between New York and Philadelphia was wanted by the English to split the American colonies ...

• https://stesprit.org/history/1600-to-1699/ The origins of the French Church of Saint Esprit go back to the original settlement of New Amsterdam. Many of the first European settlers in 1624 were not Dutch, but French Calvinists, who were known as Huguenots. They were also joined by Walloons, or French-speaking Protestants from Belgium. Both of these groups had previously fled to Holland to escape religious persecution in their home countries. By joining Dutch colonists in coming to the New World, they hoped to find greater opportunities to own land and to prosper at their trades. .... From England, thousands of Huguenots then migrated to the colonies in America. Jean Maynard, in his history of Saint-Esprit, estimates that the French Church of New York received about one-quarter of one percent of the overall Huguenot immigration. This small percentage was enough to dramatically increase the French-speaking population of New York. By 1697, according to Dr. Maynard, there were 4,000 inhabitants of New York City and, of that number, about 15 percent were Huguenots. The first independent French Church in New York was organized under the Rev. Pierre Daille who had been a professor at the French Protestant college of Saumur before it was closed by order of the king and its faculty banished. Seeking refuge in Holland, Mr. Daille then went to London where he received Anglican holy orders. He came to America to work with the French and Dutch, not only in Manhattan, but in the surrounding area, going on a regular schedule to Huguenot communities in New Paltz, Staten Island, and New Jersey.
