Hester is a direct descendant of the famous John Alden, who came to America in the "Mayflower." John (1598 - 22 Sept 1687) married Priscilla Mullins (1602 - after 1650) in 1621. So, Noah and Hester's five children, and their descendants, are also "Mayflower Descendants."

Horace ( who never married) was one of the more influential and wealthy men of his time in the City of Marshall, Michigan. Most likely, it was because of Horace's position in Marshall that so many members of his family located there. In a recent (1993) history of Marshall, among the many things said about Horace is this paragraph found on page 157:

"In the early industrial history of Marshall, one name stood out as a leader. During this time Horace J. Perrin gained control of a great percentage of the business operations near the Kalamazoo River and Rice Creek in the southeast portion of the village and the area gradually became known as Perrinville. The hill between the Kalamazoo River and Rice Creek was and still is referred to as Perrinville Hill (also known as Capital Hill). Perrin is also remembered for the banking establishment he built and operated on the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Hamilton Street. He also was involved with the girls college that survived five years in the old Marshall House. In 1877 Perrin built an elegant farm home on the North River Road east of Marshall. Later known as the Stout House, it burned in 1972. Perrin amassed a huge fortune and was in his time known as the richest man in the area."

Enoch was a goldsmith, a maker of such things as spoons, knives, and ring ornaments of many kinds. Apparently, he was the only goldsmith in Sandwich. Even more remarkable is the fact that, very likely, Enoch left more descendants than any other man who ever lived in Sandwich, with nearly 100 grandchildren, more than 60 of whom had families. In 1889 it was estimated that Enoch and Judith had 500 descendants. Over 100 years later, one can only imagine how many more there have been. It was once said that Enoch could step outside and shout, and be heard by 40 of his grandchildren.

Enoch and Judith belonged to the Society of Friends. At one time, the Sandwich Monthly Meeting had about 700 members. Over the years, the Society (like so many such groups) dwindled in numbers until Lewis Hoag, Paul Hoag and Hannah Rodgers (who lived in the first half of the 20th Century) were the only regular attendees. They would meet twice each week, sit for an hour in contemplative silence, shake hands without speaking, and return home.

Enoch and Judith had a total of 10 children, all born in Dover.
