My Norton line goes back through Edward Norton born 1715-1720 in Armagh, Ulster, North Ireland who emmigrated to Chester Co., PA before 1739 since he was married at the Nottingham Monthly Meeting 16 0ct 1739 to Elizabeth Brown. His father was Edward Norton married to Jane Grimes Rose also of Armagh. My wife has a Thomas Norton line that we have tried to connect for years. He was born 1804 in SC, died in 1875 and is buried in Jasper, Pickens Co., Ga. His wife's name was Margaret(no last name) and she was born in TN. They only had one son Samuel M born in 1828. The rest of the children were girls. I believe you stated that the test you used was for the male side of the familly only. Do you have anyone who has tested that might be a match to the Thomas Norton I have described? Thanks for any leads. If your Norton line matches the Edward line I have described I will be happy to swap info. Barry

Surnames: Norton Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Qi3.2ACIB/1879 Message Board Post: Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) Genealogy Research I started to get interested in genealogy after my grandmother, Maria Winblad, died in 1987. I was going to her funeral and I asked my mother to help me make a chart of all my cousins so I could remember who belonged to what parent. With the information she gave me I later created a chart on my Macintosh computer at Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories using Microsoft Word. I printed out a few copies, and may even still have the original computer file. I bought a primitive genealogy computer program called MacRoots and entered the data, it was very difficult to enter and edit and the data wasn’t transferable but I kept a printout. I brought my chart to my uncle Peter Van Deusen who was married to my mother’s sister, Naida Muriel Freudenberg. He did a lot of work on his side of the family. At first I wasn’t that interested in the Van Deusen genealogy, but later I was able to fill in the gaps where he left off. I was satisfied with my chart, and frustrated with the! computer program and thats where things stood for the next 10 years as I was married to Anita Malootian and raised our two children, Sara and Daniel. My interest in genealogy got started again when my mother gave me a copy of who was buried in her father’s grave. This was probably in 1997 around the time Anita and I were divorcing. I remember while I had the papers she served to get divorced I drove to the Cemetery in Jersey City and was stopped by a cop on the Turnpike, he let me off without a ticket after I showed him the papers and told him I was going to the Cemetery to see my grandmothers grave. By now I had ordered Family Tree Maker software. The Freudenberg list was very interesting, it listed people I had never heard of, my mom explained to me that there were 15 children and she knew the names of 9 of them. I couldnt figure out who Max was. I visited the grave, but there wasn’t a stone there except for Louis who had his WWI government issue tombstone! . It took hours to find the grave. In 2002 I ordered a new tombstone for Louis from the government. I went to Trenton to look up the death certificates of the people in the graves and then figured out how they were related. My firt Internet searches were in the Social Securit Death Index at a site called KindredKonnections, I found Maria and Arthur, I was so pleased with the information I printed it out and even scanned the copies, that’s how little genealogical data I had, I figured at least I would have something to put in the scrapbook. Now I probably have 50 three ring binders filled with information. At the Vital Records office the death certificates I ordered were for my grandparents Arthur and Maria. To find Ada Freudenberg’s death date I went to Hackensack to see if she left a will and she did. Rutgers University was a great help, I went to look up Arthur and Maria’s obituaries and then people showed me how to use the census data. I looked up ! Arthur Freudenberg and was frustrated I couldn’t find it in the 1920 census. I looked and looked in the index and then finally there it was under A.O. Freudenberg. There was great anticipation as I scrolled through the pages and it was a real thrill to find him on the first line of the page. While working at Johnson & Johnson I would log onto ancestry.com and I saw a listing for A.O. Freudenberg in a book called the “History of Hudson County” I looked up in the Rutgers Library IRIS index and saw they had a copy in their special collections, I put on my jacket and told my assistant, Marianna Khristov that I was leaving for the afternoon. I drove to the library and asked for the book and turned each page slowly till I was at the biography he wrote in 1923. It was a single page, but it was full of family information. It was months later that I noticed that the biography after his was for a man named Saedler who was his partner in business. It said the bu! siness was Freudenberg and Saedler but I never read it. Once while I was looking up an obituary for someone that died in 1987 I saw an obituary for a Freudenberg and made a copy of it, it didn’t seem to fit into the family but I kept it. Months later I read it again and it all made sense now, this was the wife of the missing Freudenberg cousininlaw, she died in Keansburg and was from Jersey City. The family of Ralph Freudenberg provided a trove of photographs and later Lynn Van Deusen found Maria Winblad’s picture album, the paper had disintegrated but it was full of pictures of Cuba and her siblings. She didn’t write on any of her pictures, but I was able to figure most of them out. There are a few pictures from Sweden I still can’t figure out. In 2003 I found a cousin in Sweden. My dad also told me his family stories and I visited the Finn and Norton-Carr graves in Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City. Eventually I made a trip to the Mormon Library in East Brunswick, NJ and I learned how to order microfilm, Jersey City also had great records and I found Sara Carr’s will there. Long Term Genealogical Goals: · Identify all Immigrant Ancestors. Abraham Kershaw and Sara Olderon still must be worked backward. · Find out what cities they are from, William Burke and Margaret Kane, as well as PatrickNorton are still mysteries. · Find all the first generation children. Lindauers are still incomplete and one Freudenberg child is missing. All the Winblads have been found. All the Burkes and Finns and Creedons have been found. · Find a living genetic relative in the original country; Winblads in Sweden were the first · Find a photograph of all first generation children. For Freudenbergs only Charles Freudenberg is missing. For the Nortons only James Joseph Norton is missing. Winblads are complete. · Find a photograph of Immigrant Ancestors. Oscar Lindauer and Sophia Weber exist. Sara Carr and Katherine Carr exist, but Patrick Norton is missing. William Burke and Margaret Kane aexist. The Creedons do not exist. Nora Finn exists. There are two unlabeled photographs that appear to be John Edward Winblad of Sweden. Cities and Countries · Lindauers from Strasbourg, Alsace, France · Winblads from Stockholm and Harnosand, Sweden · Carr and Conboy, Cole Pitt, Killerroran, Roscommon, Ireland · Freudenberg, Berlin, Germany · Pedersen’s from Farsund, Norway · Finns and Creedons from Millstreet & Cullen, County Cork, Ireland they passed through Wales on their way to the US and their children were born there. · Norton from County Galway, Ireland [no city known] · Burkes are from County Sligo, Ireland [no city known] · Kanes are from Ireland [no city or county known] · Kershaws and Olderens are from Holland [no city known] Genealogical Mysteries: · What city was Patrick Norton from in County Galway, Ireland? · Is Matthew Norton the brother of Patrick Norton, he is the witness to the wedding of Pat to Sara Carr. · Where are the children of Arthur Freudenberg II and when did he die · What city did William Burke and Margaret Kane come from in Ireland. Do we know anything about the Kanes? · Is Sara Olderon the same as Sara Eldert of Long Island? This is Kevin Borland’s theory · Which Hogans came to the US and which ones stayed · Are there only two extant Lindauer lines? Eloise Lindauer I and Eloise Lindauer II?’ · What happened to the Conboys that were the siblings of Mary Agnes Conboy, there were at least three that signed her autograph book. They must have had children. · Who are the grandparents of Mary Agnes Conboy? Her father died around 1902 and is buried in Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City. If we find his death certificate, we will know who his parents were in Ireland. · Who was Michael Carr that is buried with Katherine Carr in The Bronx, NY. He was possibly the son of one of her brothers. If there is one child there must be more. · What became of Abraham Kershaw, Ann Augusta Kershaw’s father? He had other children but the disappear from the records. Did Abraham die on his way to California as I have read on the Internet? Missing Documents: · Obituaries of William Burke and Margaret Kane from PA · Obituary of Katherine Carr in New York · Lindauers in the PA census · Death Certificates for the Lindauers in the Long Island grave at Cypress Hill · Death Certificate for the father of Mary Agnes Conboy in NY or NJ. He is buried in NJ in Holy Name in Jersey City. · Death Certificate of Michael Carr in the Bronx, NY.

I have a deed (lease) for a John Norton in Loudoun County, VA dated 1765. It is also for wife Mary Ann and son John. In 1787 the Loudoun County tax lists enumerated a Mary Norton, a John Norton, and a John Norton, Jr. In 1789 the tax lists enumerated John Norton, Nathaniel Norton (s/o John Norton). Nathaniel was in the Loudoun County Militia in 1794. Nathaniel was married to a Barbara Martin in 1796. He died in Loudoun Co in 1818. Do you have anything in your papers that name a William or an Alexander Norton? They were also from Loudoun County but I can find no mention of William and the only documentation I found on Alexander is that he testified to the age of a bride, Nancy Gibbs, in 1796. William and Alexander were in Nelson County, KY by late 1810 and in Lincoln County, Missouri around 1831.
