FRANKLIN NOYES.
Mr. Noyes was born in Columbia county, New York, in 1793, and emigrated to
Kanawha in 1826. Soon after his arrival in Kanawha county, he engaged in
mercantile pursuits, which he followed, without intermission, for thirty
years. During the latter part of his life he manufactured salt, which did
not prove profitable. He died in April, 1856, in the sixty-third year of his
age. Not long after he came to this county he married Miss Nancy Venable, by
whom he had nine children, viz: Bradford, Catharine, Isaac, Philip H.,
Franklin, William A., Charles, James B. and Benjamin. Three of them are
dead, viz: Bradford, Isaac and Catharine. The other six are still living, and
reside in Charleston.
