OBIT: The manner of his death was sudden and afflictive; being near an old building (where he was born), which the workmen were employed in pulling down, a part of the side wall, lined with brick, unexpectedly fell outward, and crushed him in so shocking a manner, that he died in a few hours. He was a kind and peaceable neighbor, a good citizen and an honest man.)

| Notes |
Noyes, Paul, Newburyport. Private, Capt. Moses Nowell's co., which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service, 4 days. [Mass. Soldiers & Sailors In The War of The Revolution 11:556]
Served on the "Alliance" in the revolutionary war and was on a list of prisoners taken in the Brigantine "Dolton" [sic "Dalton"] and committed to Mill Prison, Plymouth, England, June, 1777; Benjamin Franklin negotiated an exchange of prisoners, March 1779. By February 1780, the King of Denmark paid their ransom. The released prisoners met with Franklin at his residence outside Paris and sailed for home on the "Alliance", a new frigate constructed to protect American commerce. A letter dated March 10, 1781, sent to Paul Noyes at St. Lucia from his brother Silas explained Silas was having trouble arranging for a ship to come to the island to get him. Apparently, this leg of the passage home had to be financed privately. At the time of the letter, Paul Noyes would have been away four years and four months.
Paul Noyes (1741-1810) of Newburyport, MA., produced a number of stones starting shortly after the revolution, using the urban style of a winged face (or cherub). He was the successor to Robert Fowle who returned to Boston after serving as Newburyport's resident gravestone carver from 1773 to 1778. He varied his stones by having his inexpensive stones engraved rather than carved, the fancier stones having three dimensional heads. He also produced some stones with a cameo effect when the stone allowed. His borders are varied, but one of his favorites is borrowed from the Boston carver Geyer. On double stones he often produced a three lobed top containing two cherubs with the middle lobe containing an hourglass. Later he made tree and urn stones, and occasionally an atypical design (such as one containing a quadrant made for a navigation teacher). His lettering is good with frequent use of italics. His stones can be found in coastal towns from Maine to Georgia, as well as in the Merrimac valley. His first probate payment for gravestone is dated 1791 (when he was fifty) and his only signed stone (for his father) is dated 1787. No body of gravestone work has been found that could be reasonably attributed to Paul Noyes before this time. Prior to 1787 he was known as a "carver" which, in early New England, routinely designated "wood-carver", not "stone-carver." He probably kept his hand in the wood-carving trade well into the period in which he was actively carving gravestone.
Paul Noyes and his father were among those who signed the petition to incorporate Newburyport as a separate entity in 1762.
Dr. Francis Vergnies de Bouischere was a French physician who came from Guadaloupe to reside in the home of Paul Noyes in 1796 from which he offered his services. He continued to reside in the Noyes home until his death, 20 years after Noyes' death.
