I have no proof yet, but believe he was my GGGgrandfather through his son Prior Dolphus (b. 1855-1856 in AR.) I have an 1880 census for Cooke Co, TX, Gainesville, (prec.#3, family #371....which is on page 45 on ancestry.com) showing Miles Norton, wife Catherine (his 2nd wife), and border James Baker. A few lines further down are John Norton, wife Weana (sp?) and son Brinkley. The next line is my GGF listed as Dolphus Norton and his wife Mary Jane (who later moved to Carter Co., OK). Miles is also listed for Cooke Co on the 1870 census, for Sebastian Co., AR, in 1860, and Benton Co, MO in 1850. There seems to be several of us searching for this branch of the Nortons. I don't have proven documentation past Prior Dolphus so any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is looking for my particular group I do have a copy of Prior's marriage certificate, lists of census, descendents, etc.. Judy
