Surnames: Norton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qi3.2ACIB/1967 Message Board Post: I am a part of the Norton line that started with Barak in Whiteside Cove, NC. However, I am now trying to do 2 things. First, I need to learn where the line originated in Europe. I know there was William and Jemima, but that is as far back as I have. Anyone know who came before that, who immigrated here, from where, etc? Secondly, I need to connect my line to Barak's line. My grandfather was James Frank Norton and his mother was Mae Cannon Norton who lived in Clayton (cannot remember his father's name). Any help appreciated! Charity
