Surnames: Norton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qi3.2ACIB/1745.1 Message Board Post: I have a William Norton, son of Mercer Norton and Martha Higgins, born 1773 and died 1857(places unknown). Mercer was born 1750 in Fairfax, VA which is next to Louden and died in Wayne Co., KY in 1800. I had a reference that William was married but his wife's name was unknown. Don't know if this helps or not. Mercer is the brother of William Norton b.1740(also Fairfax) d 1821 who is my 4th great-grandfather.
