Abraham and Maria (Schoeffer) NOXON
When Abraham Noxon and his wife, Maria (always called Maritje), bought a
40 acre farm in Wayne township in 1835 from Lynds Jones, I am sure they had no
thought that it would still be the home of Noxons for nearly a century and a
half later.
Abraham was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and married Maria in Albany. Both
were born around the time of the Revolutionary War. He was the son of a
Patriot, Batholomew and Ann (Losee) Noxon whose lands were confiscated after
the Revolution.
The family moved to Wayne from Middleburgh, Schoharie County, N.Y. They
first lived in a log cabin beside a spring in the woods on Hayes Road on lots
93 and 94.
All of their ten children were born in N.Y. John, Richard and
Bartholomew stayed in N.Y. Peter, his wife, Eliza (Gillette), and family
lived in Jefferson for a time and later moved to Buffalo. Pascoe and his
large family lived in Wayne a few years and them "emigrated east in a covered
wagon" to N.Y. His wife, Sarah, is buried in Monroe cemetery. Their
daughter, Helen, married Robert Wilcox Jones and their two children were Lynds
Levant and Maizie. Abraham's youngest son, Abram, lived in the Wayne-Andover
area. His children were Miriam McDonald, Alice, Helen Bates and Birdsall.
Anna, born in Albany, N.Y., in 1795 and husband Peter Shufelt, lived on
lot 34. Their children were Noxon, Alonzo, Angelica and Kate Bailey. Evalina
married Alonzo Platt and had two sons, Noxon and Joseph, who lived in
Cleveland. Almira married first Alonzo Wilder, then Phillip Hanson, the local
tailor, and had two sons, Claudius and Thaddeus Hanson.
The other daughter, Christine, my great-grandmother, was born probably in
1809. Upon the death of her father, 12 September, 1842, she bought the farm
from his estate and made a home there for her mother until Maritje died 11
December, 1863, age 86. Later Christine added more land and some time later a
house was built near the highway. From a musical family, she enjoyed the old
"singing schools".
Christine's eldest son, Schuyler Van Rensselaer Noxon, was born in
Schoharie County. He joined the local Black Strings in this area and was said
to have paticipated in John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry and would have been
hanged if caught. A Bowie knife carried in that raid is in the possession of
his great-great-nephew. He was a lightning rod salesman.
The other son, Jerome B., was also born in Schoharie County. He married
a neighbor girl, Esther Fobes, a descendant of Wayne pioneers.
Jerome and "Et" as she was called, had two children, Schuyler Blaine and
Lena. After the death of Schuyler V. in Wayne, 12 April, 1884 and Christine
in 1898, Jerome came into possession of the farm. Schuyler B. was the next in
line, then Schuyler's son, Harold, and lastly Harold's son, Harlan (my
nephew), who with his family, make seven successive generations of Noxons to
live on the original farm. ----Mildred Noxon Littler
