Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genealogical Record of Some of the Noyes Descendants of James, Nicholas and Peter Noyes, Vol. 1: Descendants of Nicholas Noyes
Restricting the scope of this volume to those of our name, except as mentioned in the preface and marriage index, has deprived us of many pleasant meanderings in the side paths of allied families; for once out of the straight path deter mined upon, there would have been so many temptations to stray in all directions that but little progress would have been made towards the goal now reached.
The ancestral fever, so prevalent during the last twenty years, was the cause, and is the excuse, for this volume, as personal interest in the subject was soon merged in the greater interest inspired by the early study of the family history and pedigree.
