First used to gauge New England's ever-changing weather, now viewed as American folk art, historic weathervanes have been a part of the region's skyline for more than three centuries.

Then as early as July, 1716, he is said to have had "a business connection with Captain Oliver Noyes, Esq., Physician, so styled."' This "connection," whatever it was, may be regarded as a main cause for his going to Small Point, where he probably acted as the agent of Mr. Noyes, as well as prosecuted his own aims. We may hesitate to believe it a definite partnership, since at this time he was partner with Mr. John Watts, and engaged in the "down east" trade.

Also 1719, November, the Company voted: --"If Mr. Noyes shall gain from the sea by a dam a pond near his house at Harbor Farm on Atkins' Bay, the land shall be his." I am not assured of the location of this farm, but Noyes had a stone house which stood on the westerly margin of Atkins' Bay over against Po...
