Hello, DocJuke, I am interested in your NORTONS. However, where were they located? I have NORTONS in two generations in South Carolina and Alabama and perhaps further north as well from the early 1800's. The names are JAMES NORTON, SAMUEL EDWIN NORTON (who married JULIA ALSTON and named a daughter after her) they also had a son named JAMES HUDSON NORTON. There was a sister of SAMUEL named Katherine/Catherine. I don't recognize any of your names right away, but it did seem to be something of a coincidence. Do let me know where and when yours were located and I will be more specific with mine.
