HI I just joined the IRL-ROSCOMMON List. Here is a little background on my Norton ancestors. The first Norton, in America, in my line, was James Norton; he and his wife Ann <Dolan> Norton arrived in America in 1848 with four children and settled in Lebanon Springs, New York, for ten years and then James moved his family to Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois. James Norton was born Dec 1812 and Ann Dolan was born 1813. Both were born in County Roscommon, Ireland. According to their son James C. Norton's bio, they were from <this was sent to us and they could not make out the town> Cue......?? or Coo...?, Athlone, Roscommon, Ireland. We wish, we knew what the spelling of the town was, but so far, we haven't been able to find out what it was. These are the children of James and Ann Norton who born in Roscommon: Matthew b. 1835 Roseann b. 16 Dec 1837 Maria b. 1839 James C., b. 15 Nov 1847 We have quite a lot of information on James Norton and his family in Galesburg, Illinois, U.S.A. and would love to share this information with his descendants. AND we are always looking for knew information on this line of Nortons. Thanks, Mary Boudreau
