William H. Norris was my 2nd great grandfather, so I am somewhat familiar with his family....The S. F. Norris (male) age 11 is, I believe, Francis Johnson Norris who was born in April 1839...R.C. listed above him is my g grandfather and his name was Robert Cicero Norris and H. C. was Henry Clay Norris. If the S. F. Norris is not Francis Johnson Norris then he would be Samuel Leonidas Norris and they were close to the same age and one of them was left off of the listing... So, something became of Oliver F. Norris and I have no clue, at this point, what that was... And again I appreciate your help... doc ----- Original Message ----- From: <wmcconne@bellsouth.net> To: <AL-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 10:56 AM Subject: Re: Re: [AL-CEN] 1850 Al Census--Oliver F.
