Noyes Ferry Landing was named after Benjamin Noyes who was born on April 29, 1742. Benjamin operated the first ferry in Bow, est. 1764. The ferry was located nearly opposite the mouth of the Soucook River and a store operated near the ferry as well.
Benjamin Noyes was a member of the Fourth Provincial Congress held in May 1775 in Exeter, NH. The Congress was intended to set up a provisional government and was attended by some of the most noteworthy men in NH at that time. (One of these men was Mathew Thornton a signer of the Declaration of Independence.)
Noyes was credited with service in the Revolutionary War as an Ensign in Col. Moses Nicholas' Regiment, for expedition to Rhode Island, August, 1778. He was one of Bow’s largest landowners.
