Surnames: Norton, Ponder, Ramsey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qi3.2ACIB/1798.1 Message Board Post: This is my family also, and I have quite a bit of information on this line. There is no definite information further back in this Norton line than Jesse Norton and Mary "Polly" Ramsey. But we have a lot on the decendents. I take it you are decended from the James or Jeemes Norton line, and I am decended from his brother Jesse Lasala, or Salie Norton. They are the sons of the William and Nancy Ponder Norton that you mentioned. Email me and we will exchange info.
