| Notes |
- "In 1799 Sylvanus Noyes came to Titus Hill from Maidstone, VT. He was born In Plaistow, N. H. on Dec. 1769, and his wife, Betsey Jewitt was born in Landaff, in 1770. Mr. Noyes purchased the lot of land where George Martin lives, and the house was near the present one. The land was a wilderness when the sturdy farmer made his "pitch" but hard labor and honest industry soon made the land productive. He had seven children who reached adult age. John, who lived in Bath and vicinity Mary, who married Jeremy George, and lived in Pittsburg and Bath; Michael, who lived on the old farm on Titus Hill till he went with the colony to Beloit, Wisconsin; and Mehitable, who married Reuben Ash and removed to Grafton County. The fifth child was Asa. He was born in Colebrook, on the home farm, May 3, 1804. There was a large family, and his father sometimes had hard times to make both ends meet. Asa worked on the farm till he was eighteen years old. Their "milling" was done at the valley, and Asa, when a boy, used to take a bag of wheat on horseback, and carry it to the mill to be ground. The road was through the woods all the way, and he, like the other boys, was much afraid of the Indians. At one time, near the mill, there was a camp of Indians, all moderately drunk. Young Asa saw a big "buck" Indian take a squaw by the hair and drag her across the road, which so wrought upon his fears that he got the miller to take him safely past them. When Asa was eighteen years old, he went down to Landaff, Lisbon and Bath where he remained several years and married Lydia Eaton, from Landaff. He then returned to Upper Coos, and cleared the farm where Enoch Kelsea lives in Columbia, and in 1856, removed to the arm on Harvey Swell, in Colebrook, where he yet lives at his advanced age of eighty-three years. He has had ten children: Mrs. Hiram Howe, Eben, Chester, Violetta (who married Daniel Young), Gilman, Eleazer (who was in the service and was killed in the late Rebellion), and Samuel P. Samuel P. lives with his father and Asa Noyes and was always well represented in the fairs and shows of stock in Colebrook. Hobart, sixth child of Sylvanus, lived in Colebrook many years, running the woolen factory. He was collector of taxes in 1844 - 1846. His wife was Sarah Beecher. Several years ago they moved to Stewartstown where they still reside.
