GershomNoyes (1764-1850) was born July 8, 1764 in Stoningham, Connecticut.  He subsequently moved to Guilford, Vermont.  At age 17, Gershom enlisted for a nine-month tour with Captain Blakely's Company of Colonel Fletcher's Regiment of Vermont State Troop.  During his tour, Noyes served as an Orderly Sergeant of the Rangers at Fort Ticonderoga and Fort Independence.  He earned a pension for his service.

Sometime after the revolution Noyes moved to Preston in Chenango County, New York.  Gershom lived with Nancy Stanton, the companion of his youth, for some 50 years.  They raised nine children to a mature age, and saw the third generation.  After Mary's death, Noyes moved to Wisconsin in 1845 to live with his son, Samuel.

Obituaries state that Gershom Noyes died on October 1, 1850, at the age of 86.  It is believed that Gershom is buried in his son's plot in the Clyman Center/School #3 Cemetery in Section 20, Town of Clyman, Dodge County.  Records show Samuel Noyes once owned the property where the cemetery is located.  The location of the old cemetery is near the intersection of Highways 16 and 60 and Highway 26, near Clyman.
