Anne Parker1
b. 1575, d. before 7 March 1657/58
Anne Parker was born in 1575 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.1,2 She was the daughter of Robert Parker and Mary Edyth Burge.1 Anne Parker married Rev William Noyes, son of Robert William Noyes and Joan Attridge, in 1595 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.2,3 Anne Parker died before 7 March 1657/58 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.3 She was buried on 7 March 1657/58 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.1,2,3
She left a will on 18 March 1655/56.1,2
Paul Noyes wrote: "In her will, Anne NOYES names only the youngest NOYES children, including James and Nicholas This "division of interests" suggests that William may have had an earlier wife who was mother of the older boys who were born ca 1596-1600 Although Anne PARKER was of a suitable age to have been mother to all the known children, Ann STEPHENS, could possibly have been the first wife as suggested in a newspaper clipping attached to one of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society lending library Noyes Genealogy books It would be interesting to pursue this possibility since the newspaper clipping update speaks only to updated "proof' that Ann STEPHENS was wife to William NOYES as opposed to specifically saying she was mother to James and Nicholas Neither is there source material included in the article
It is curious that Ann named only the youngest Noyes children in her will, while eldest child Ephraim named only his brother John and the children of deceased brother Nathan Widows had much more latitude in choosing legatees than their husbands did, yet it is unusual that Ann bothered to make token bequests to children in New England while ignoring children relatively nearby This division of interests suggests that Ann may have been mother of the youngest children and that William had an earlier wife who was mother of the older boys Despite Walter Goodwin Davis' "The Ancestry of Abel Lunt" (Portland, Me, 1963), pp 71-78 willingness to accept multiple wives for Rev William, no other evidence supports this interpretation, and Ann was of a suitable age to have been mother to all the known children

Robert William Noyes was born in 1518 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.1 He was the son of Nicholas Noyes and Agnes (?) Robert William Noyes married Joan Attridge circa 1567 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.1 Robert William Noyes died on 17 November 1599 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England, probably.1 He was buried in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England.
Paul Noyes wrote: "Married before 1568 a woman whose name is presently unknown. Robert was many times in court, particularly regarding the manor of Littleton. Robert Noyes was listed in the subsidies of 10 September 13 Elizabeth I [1571] and 42 Elizabeth I [1599/1600] (Chancery Proceedings, Series II, C3/151/91).
While we have been taught to look with suspicion on ages given in round numbers, Robert's 1598 deposition suggests that he was nearly fifty years old when his first known child was born. When Richard Noyes of Manningford Bruce in 1590/91 gave a small legacy to "every of the sonnes of Robert Noyes of Chowlderton," the implication was that there were at least two boys and probably more. Evidence of only two have been found."1

Nicholas Noyes1
b. circa 1496, d. circa 1575
Nicholas Noyes was born circa 1496 in Littleton, Kimpton, Hampshire, England.1 He was the son of Robert Noyes and Joan Mondey. Nicholas Noyes married Agnes (?) circa 1516 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England, probably. Nicholas Noyes died circa 1575 in Cholderton, Wiltshire, England. Paul Noyes wrote: He died "probably close to 1575 "a very old man" (Chancery Proceedings Series II, C3/151/91.)1
Paul Noyes wrote: "Nicholas was listed at Cholderton in the subsidy rolls of 14 + 15 Henry VIII [1523-4], 10 Jan. 16 Henry VIII [1525], 8 Oct. 32 Henry VIII [1540], 12 Oct. 35 Henry VIII [1543], and 2 Elizabeth I [1559/60]. (Subsidy Rolls, E179/197/156; E179/197/184; E179/197/241; E179/197/275). In 1523/4 he was taxed 21 shillings on goods valued at £21. In 1527 in the Hundred of Ambrysbury "In the parishe of Chalderton [which at that time contained only 57 persons] first Nicholas Nowyse hath whett for the allowance for thye feyndyng of his houssold xvj quarters and to sell vj quarters .... in barley, besydes to sow xxx quarters and for the feynding of his houssold xx quarters and to sell xiiij quarters." (Wiltshire Notes + Queries, 2 (1896-1898): 68-69).
He is on the list of taxpayers for the benevolence of 1545 for Cholderton and was probably the Nicholas Noyes who was named overseer and witnessed the will of Cicilia Noyes of Shipton, widow, in 1546. ("Two Sixteenth Century Taxation Lists", G.D. Ramsay, ed. (Devizes, 1954) p.2. Consistory Court of Wincester, Unlisted Wills and Administrations, U. 129).
At the dissolution of the monastaries, the manor of Littleton passed from the Abbot of St. Peter's, Gloucester, to the Bishop of Gloucester, who soon released it to the King, who then granted it to Sir John St. John. Disputes with tenants ensued. ("The Victoria History of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight", William Page, ed. (London, 1911), p.374; for the St. Johns, see S.T. Bindoff, "The History of Parliment[:] The House of Commons 1509-1558, vol. 3" (London, 1982), pp. 254-255, and "Wiltshire Visitation Pedigrees 1623" (London, 1954), p.168) In 1552, Nicholas St. John claimed that he had purchased two ninth parts of a lease of the manor of Littleton, a property originally leased in 1516 by Nicholas Noyes' parents. The claimants actually came to blows when St. John and his servants came to mow the pasture and were met by the servants of Nicholas Noyes' brother. (REQ2/14/71)
John St. John, Esquire, apparently entered into the manor of Littleton by force after the elder Robert Noyes' death.
In an undated Chancery Proceeding between 1558 and 1579, son Robert Noyes stated that his father had owned a barn and some land in Cholderton and that Nicholas entered into the premises and for divers years solely and alone did enjoy the same until about four years since being a very old man did set and assign the premises amongst divers [other] things to be occupied by the defendant [Robert] and that Nicholas' son Thomas Noyes, yeoman, sold his portion of the interest in the property to Robert Noyes."
Nicholas' son Robert had land in Cholderton that was described in the Patent Roll of 1581/2 as "now or lately in the occupation of Nicholas Noyes or his assignes."1
Paul Noyes wrote: "Nicholas was listed at Cholderton in the subsidy rolls of 14 + 15 Henry VIII [1523-4], 10 Jan. 16 Henry VIII [1525], 8 Oct. 32 Henry VIII [1540], 12 Oct. 35 Henry VIII [1543], and 2 Elizabeth I [1559/60].
