However, his wife was named Laura Foot. I do not think that he had a son Lewis, but maybe a grandson? If you think that he came from Goshen, or Durham I may be able to help you. I too am a Norton via northwestern NY and then Wisconsin. Now I am in Oregon. Please contact me at umbrella96@aol.com. The Conneticut Nortons are huge. Thomas Norton arrived in Guilford in 1639 and left a lot of us behind. If your NY connection was in Byron, Alabama, or E Bloomfield, I may be able to help you there.
