Browne connections of the Noyeses

Cotton Mather's account of James Noyes states that "[h]e was married
in England to Mrs. Sarah Brown, the eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph
Brown, of Southampton, not long before he came to New-England, which
was in the year 1634."

A few years ago on the newsgroup I pointed out the extracted IGI
record below:

Romsey, Hampshire
--James Noyse to Sarah Browne, 21 March 1633

This marriage information has been included in the bio. of James Noyes
in the most recent _Great Migration_ volume. Romsey is fairly close
to Southampton, and early March would have been when the ships started
for New England. Moreover, the 1688 will of Moses Browne, founder of
London, gives L100 to "my sister Sarah Noyse of New England."

This is a nice little sum, considering that two of her sons each
received L50 as well.

The will mentions a cousin "of Andover," which indicates that
Southampton could be a likely place of origin for this family.

Two other sisters named in the will were Margaret Ventham and Dorothy
Riggs.

Records from IGI batch I013461 seems to provide several matches. This
batch does not state that it contains "extracted records," but it has
the "feel" of extracted records -- idiosyncratic spellings, etc.
Also, I note that marriages and baptisms come up together. Does
anyone have a handy explanation of the status of this particular IGI
batch?

Southampton, Hampshire
--Margrett Browne, daughter of Joseph, bapt. 4 Sept. 1625
--Dorytie Browne, daughter of Josephe, bapt. 16 May 1630
--Rich. Ventham to Mary [? sic] Browne, 6 May 1651

It is also interesting that Moses Browne's will gives money to his
cousin Rebecca Jaques, as this surname was very prevalent at Newbury
in Massachusetts Bay, where sister Sarah Noyse lived. Indeed, she had
a daughter Rebecca (m. John Knight) who is supposedly my ancestress.
Could it be that this Rebecca was actually the wife of a Jaques rather
than a Knight?
