CHARLES AUGUSTUS NOYES (Abel7, Moses6, Joseph5, 4, 3, Rev. James2, Rev. 
William1), was son of Abel NOYES and Sophia Shepard HATCH (Timothy6, 5, 4, 
Benjamin3, Jonathan2, Thomas1), daughter of Timothy HATCH and Abigail, daughter 
of Moses PORTER and Sarah KILHAM.  He was born in Otsego county, New York, 
September 3, 1812; improved his common school education by judicious reading; 
went to Buffalo in 1830 as a shipping clerk; came to Chicago in 1836, and 
thence to Geneva, where he bought, with his cousin, Orrin Hatch COE, one-fourth 
interest in Brink's claim to the mill-site.  This share of the bone of 
contention was soon sold to R. Wells WARREN, whose sister, Nancy Page, daughter 
of Thomas WARREN and Anne PAGE, was married to Mr. NOYES, January 23, 1837.   
Before the end of the year he recrossed the state line, made and sold claims; 
was postmaster in 1839 at Tryon, Illinois; returned to Geneva in 1850 only to 
set out for California; in 1853 bought an interest in the water power at Genoa 
Junction; again to California in 1858, returning to Lake Geneva in 1872, where 
he died November 25, 1881.  Record of Mrs. NOYES's birth and death is not 
found.  Their children were: Helen Augusta (Mrs. Gilmore D. FELLOWS), Mary 
Elizabeth (Mrs. Franklin ROWE), Charles Augustus (1841-1897), a soldier of the 
Civil war (married Jenny Lind, daughter of Benjamin B. HUMPHREY and Juliet 
SMITH), Martha Irene (Mrs. James Ervin FULLER), Josephine Amanda (died early).
