Although they are not my direct ancestors (2 generations removed), I appreciate seeing them and knowing where to look for them. As for the parents of Elizabeth MASON, I merely have notes "Dau. of Nicholas MASON" and "American Marriages before 1699, William M Clemens, 1926, pg 161" and "Gen. of CT Families from NEHGR, vol II pg 665". You could check the indexes of NEHGR for original data on the last reference. Frankly, I don't know where I got the name Nicholas MASON. Molly LUCAS is mentioned on pg 859 & 864 of "Families of Early Guilford, CT", Alvan Talcott, 1984/1997. This is an excellent series of 2 books, sold by the CT Soc. of Genealogists. Expensive, but pages 855 through 937 (volume II) are all about NORTONs. There are hundreds of NORTONs in volume II, and it includes almost all of those you mentioned. Matilda GILMORE is not in the index of these volumes. You asked what I had on Thomas NORTON and Grace WELLS. The attachment is a family group sheet for them. It is a straight text file (.TXT) which can be read/printed by wordpad or most word processors. I have visited Guilford CT, where they are most likely buried, but was unable to find their tombstones, probably because many bodies and tombstones were moved from what is now the village square to somewhere else. Good luck in your own research. Marty Irons [email protected] All e-mail scanned by Norton 2005 anti-virus, updated online daily. Thank God we live in a country where we have the option to vote. People living in other countries are not always so fortunate. Election Day is Tuesday November 8th, 2005. If you haven't yet registered to vote, now is a good time to do so.
