    • (Ae. 84 y. Date of death not on record and early Cumberland probate records were burned long ago. However in the Eastern Herald of Feb. 18, 1796, a son-in-law, James Lunt, gave notice that he had "taken upon himself the trust of an administration upon the estate of Josiah Noyes, late of Falmouth, gentleman, deceased," and in the Eastern Herald and Gazette of Maine of March 9, 1797, another son-in-law, Isaac Parsons, advised that he had assumed the trust "in the room of James Lunt, Esq., now removed at his own request.")
    Notes 
    • Josiah Noyes of New Casco was a member of Captain James Merrill's company, Colonel Jonathan Mitchel's (Cumberland County) regiment; service, three days, in November, 1775, fortifying Falmouth; also private in Captain William Cobb's company in Colonel Jonathan Mitchel's detachment. The pay abstract for milage was sworn to at North Yarmouth, November 26, 1779. He is reported as first having drawn rations at Falmouth, and as discharged at Falmouth.

      Josiah and Mary spent their married life in Falmouth, all but the first few years on the former Zachariah Brackett place, long known as Back Cove Farm. Joseph Noyes, Esq., of Falmouth bought this property in April, 1745, for £700 Bills of last Emission [York Deeds 25:70], placed his son Josiah thereon and ten years later willed it to him, together with one hundred acres out of the testator's own home place next Capt. Isaac Ilsley's. Josiah and his brother Peter were the executors of their father's will and the residuary legatees [Maine Wills (Sargent), p.746].

      In 1802-1803 by seven deeds the home farm passed to Mr. James Deering for $8,245. There were also other Falmouth lands and an extensive Durham property.

      Currently, the entire campus of the University of Southern Maine is situated on this 400-acre parcel of land, formerly owned by Josiah Noyes on Back Cove. Farmhouse of Josiah no longer stands. Home of the estate's groundskeeper does stand, according to Nicholas Noyes, a descendant and chief librarian at the Brown Library, Maine Historical Society, Portland, Maine.

      The fathers of Anthony Brackett Jr. and Josiah Noyes were close acquaintances and both were selectman. Josiah's courage was manifest in that he bought the estate of a man who was murdered by Indians along with other members of his family. Poor Anthony's luck ran out that same day when he and his family were captured by Indians.
