Surnames: NORRIS, ATWELL, HARRISON, SONGER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4YB.2ACEB/416 Message Board Post: Searching, searching.......my gggrandfather Joseph Martin Norris was born to Unknown Atwell and Margaret Songer about 1826 in Wheeling WV. He had a brother David b. 1989 and a sister Margaret b. 1833. Apparently their father Mr. Atwell died about 1833-1835 and Margaret married John Norris who adopted the Atwell kids and they took his surname. We currently know nothing about who Margaret's first husband was. If anyone has any information about Atwell's in Montgomery County, Virginia who may have been connected, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
