William Noyes was NOT a son of Joan Attridge. His father WAS Robert Noyes who was married to a JOAN. But there was a different Robert of Urchford who was married to Joan Attridge. These were NOT the parents of William of Cholderton. This is an ongoing controversy among Noyes descendants which is easily settled by viewing the Dates attached to records regarding the birth dates of the Robert Noyes children and the marriage date of Joan Attridge and Robert of Urchford. The two well versed Noyes researchers in the United States both say that William's mother was NOT Joan Attridge.
