The descendants of 18—Rev. Joseph Noyes can claim royal descent through his wife, Abigail Pierpont, who was a descendant of Mabel Harlakenden, whose ancestry has been traced direct to William the Conqueror. The following is the line of descent of Abigail Pierpont from Mabel Harlakenden :—

John Haynes, Governor of Connecticut in 1639, and every alternate year thereafter (which was as often as the constitution permitted) to the time of his death ; married Mabel Harlakenden. Their son, Rev. Joseph Haynes, married Sarah Lord in 1668. Sarah, their daughter, married Rev. James Pierpont. Abigail, their only child, married Rev. Joseph Noyes of Stonington, Conn. The following article concerning him is copied from a pamphlet published by Gen. Charles W. Darling, entitled " Memorial to My Honored Kindred."
