Notes
The Family Name is also spelled Noyce and Noyse.
The Nice family prior to 1800 needs furthur research.
They were ship owners whose ancestors were from Holland.
They were cousins for the famous Dr. Rush of the medical school of Philadelphia.
Robert Morris of Revolutionary fame was another cousin. Lent the rebels one and a half million for Independance.
The mother of the Bakers of Philadelphis was a Nice (two brothers and two sisters). All well off and renting out some of their houses.
The Coleman, Lindsey and Gordon families intermarried. I have not records for the Gordon's.
