NOYES, JAMES,  a pioneer of Richford, came with his family to that town 
in 1806.  His children were Joseph, Henry, Mary, Nathaniel, Rufus, and 
Phebe, and of these only Mary, now the widow of Elijah Heath, is living.  
Joseph Noyes, the oldest son, married Philenda Carpenter, and by her had 
six children, as follows:  Amos M., Lucius Y., Harvey L., L. Marvin, and 
Homer B. and Heman A. (twins).  Amos M. Noyes was born in Richford, 
April 21, 1827.  He was reared on the farm and his subsequent life has been 
devoted to this pursuit.  Mr. Noyes has been twice married.  His first wife, 
whom he wedded in 1860, was Mary Ann, a daughter of M.T. Reed, of 
Enosburgh, and by her he had two children, Flora and Laura.  His second 
wife was Alida A., the daughter of Nathaniel Sears, & widow of Lucius Y. 
Noyes, and by her he had four children:  George S., Coralyn, Mabel, and 
Mary.  Mr. Noyes has also been interested in the mill business, he and his 
father having built in 1855 the saw-mill that now stands on Amos's farm, 
and is what is known as the upright mill, having power from the stream 
leading from Hardwood Hill Pond.
