Anybody find a tie-in with these people? Thanks, Robert Leopard I'm going to include all my information on Austin McNORTON. I will try to include all my sources, and indicate them by underlining. Listed as A.G. McNorton in the 1840 census in Monroe Twp., Putnam County, Indiana. There are 3 males under 5 (no names given, but they would be: Joseph, James, and Andrew) 1 male 5-10 (Robert), and 1 female 5-10. Putnam county is south west of Indianapolis. The 1850 census lists him as Austin G. McNorton in Jackson Twp., Putnam County, Indiana. It lists him as being from South Carolina. His wife Sarah is listed as being from Georgia. He is listed as having $1,200 in real estate. The names and ages of the children I used on the family page (below). No female is listed as being between 15-20, so my guess is that one daughter has already moved out. This is important from our family stories of children being "farmed out." (Land records would be nice to have on this, though there may have been no deed recorded, and the real estate might not have belonged to him.....) The 1860 census lists A.J. McNorton in Clarke Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana. Robert, Joseph and James are not listed. He is now married to Mary A. (Morris from Index to Marriage Record Putnam County, 1850-1920 Volume II Letter H to P). They have three new children. A.G. is listed as 45 in the census on september 9, 1850 and 54 in the census on June 1, 1860, probably meaning he was born in June, July, or August. James McNorton is listed next to A.J. in the1860 census. Presumably this would be son James, born abt. 1837. Nancy McNorton, 12 yr old, is listed in the1860 census as living with Robt Braun, 75, farmer, b. VA, Nancy Braun, 70, b. VA, and Benjamin, 35, farmer, b. Ala. in Monroe Twp, Putnam County IN. This is where the family lived 20 years before. There are NO McNortons listed in Montgomery County IN in 1870 census. Have they moved? Died? Descendants of Austin G. McNorton 1 Austin G.
