The following addresses were unable to receive Norwood-L mail recently.

Please contact me if one of the following is your address and let me know whether it is still valid. Sometimes mailboxes become full and messages bounce, or perhaps an account has been de-activated during a vacation. Thank you.

Francis Norwood descendants >From "Historic New England", summer 2001 The magazine of the The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, page 13 Protecting House and History The Norwood-Hyatt house on Boston's North Shore is the most recent addtion to SPNEA's Stewardship program, which will ensure its preservation through easements. Constructed in several stages beginning c.1664, the house was the birthplace of what later became the Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Many original and early features are still intact, along with later additions that create a rich layering effect. The house contains numerous unique decorative details, such as carved wooden curtains and paintings on doors and walls done by members of the Hyatt family. A full account of the history and its place in New England intellectual history will appear in an upcoming issue of Historic New England. I was privileged to get a personal guided tour by the then owner, who was then the prints curator at NY metropolitan museum of art. I would encourage descendants to join to support their work go to www.spnea.org or write SPNEA, 141 Cambridge st., Boston MA 02114 (617) 227-3956 jim Dempsey

Francis Norwood of GLoucester descendants, I just received the SPNEA newsletter (which is temporarily misplaced). Anyway, in it they say they have taken on the Francis Norwood house in Annisquam, Gloucester into their stewardship program to preserve. The Society for Preservation of New England Antiquities is the premier colonial preservation society. I will get more details for you later. Jim Dempsey

The following is an obituary from the Houston (Texas) Chronicle spotted by my sister. We don't know anything further about her. Our own last known Norwood died in 1854. BERNICE EVELENA (EVE) NORWOOD MAYHALL passed away on Saturday, March 24, 2001. She was born December 16, 1919 at the Norwood Settlement near Macune in San Augustine County, Texas where her family has lived since being awarded a Republic of Texas Land Grant in 1845. Her Great-Uncle E. O. LeGrand was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Eve took great pride in her family's heritage, and she and her husband Jack spent many enjoyable hours researching their genealogies before his death in 1990. Her lineage can be traced through most of America's history; her brother, Adrian Thomas Norwood, after graduation from West Point, gave his life in World War II; her antecedents participated in the Confederate War between the States, The Texas War of Independence and formation of the Republic of Texas. The War of 1812, the American Revolution, and the colonization of America through her ancestor, William "The Emigrant" Norwood, who came to the colonies on the King's business before 1649. In English history, her line descends from the Barons who, at Runnymede in 1215 A.D., forced King John to sign the Magna Charta and from the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 A.D. She was a member of the following organizations: National Society of Magna Charta Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution and of the Republic of Texas, United Daughters of the Confederacy, St. Cecilia Catholic Community, the National Parkinson Foundation, and the Parkinson Foundation of Harris County where she had many wonderful and supportive friends. Eve was preceded in death by her husband, D. J. "Jack" Mayhall; her parents, Thomas Jefferson Norwood and Bernice Rigsby Norwood; her brother, Tom; and her sister, Nell Covin. She is survived by her daughter, Rikka Mayhall Nutt and son-in-law, John; granddaughter, Lisa Nutt Davis and husband, Justin and their son, Blake Reed Davis; her sons, Donald Joseph Mayhall II and Ronald James Mayhall and wife, Lynn. She is also survived by her sisters, OraLee Dumas, Doni Wiggins, Carolyn Skurlock, Tommy Sowell and Jeannie Smith; brothers-in-law, Buddy Dumas and Charles Smith; Aunts Doris Johnson, Ruby Greer, and Lula Wade; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and friends. Friends are invited to visitation with the family from 5 until 7 o'clock in the evening on Monday, March 26, 2001 at Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive with a Vigil service to be held at 7 o'clock in the chapel. Funeral Mass to be announced. Interment will be beside her beloved Jack at Forest Park Westheimer Cemetery, 12800 Westheimer Road. In lieu of flowers, Eve requested that donations be made to the Parkinson Foundation of Harris County, 2700 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 1780, Houston, Texas 77056-5705.

Hi All! Okay, so it's long overdue but I was finally able to make another update to my web site. Better late then never, and all that. My health problems have been taking priority with my time the last couple of months so I wasn't able to get as much put up as I would have liked. But at this point it's starting to look like another couple of months before I get back up to speed so I didn't want to wait any longer for the stuff I had ready to go. Major updates: NEBRASKA - Added photo of John Norwood Added photo of Wilks Norwood and family NEW JERSEY - Added additional info on children of Elizabeth Norwood BERMUDA - Added entire Bermuda Beacon article on Richard Norwood I had wanted to put up some additional info on Cornelius Norwood of New Jersey and his probable son George Norwood of Nebraska but I just didn't find a way to sit at this keyboard long enough to get that done. Hopefully next time. TAFN! Irene http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norwood/

She loved to tell me stories of her Grandfather Norwood, whose favorite by words were, She She ye nary devil. She remembers one incident in which he had picked her in his carriage (she was about 5 or 6 years old) to go to s livestock auction. There was a man there who had a very underfed not very well taken care of mule. Her Grandfather(my Great Great Grandfather) walked right to the man and said "She she ye nary devil, did he take on much when ye gutted him?" Now being a little girl from out west, that was so funny. What I would like to know is this. Does anyone remember family talking about a colorful family member such as this? if so contact me please @ [email protected] thank you --part1_20.11f08bf6.27ba28a3_boundary--

Irene.... I would take a Commissary to be a promoted Storekeeper. Ralph Clouse, Sacramento

Hi! I've had copies of the pages from this book for awhile now, but for some reason I had a thought this morning that hadn't occurred to me before. In the following excerpt: NY in the Revolution as Colony & State, Vol. II, the Military and Naval Service; pg 50 Col. John Lasher was Commissioner of Military Stores. Peter T. Curtenius, Anthony Griffiths, Hugh Hughes, John Lasher and Richard NORWOOD were Commissaries; James Weeks was Assistant Commissary; Richard NORWOOD, Richard Ten Eyck and Philip Van Rensselaer were Storekeepers; James Gillikins was Director of Ordnance. I just assumed that the Richard Norwood listed here twice was the same person. But after re-reading some of the other pages with Richard's name on them, it seems he's sometimes called Commissary and other times called Storekeeper. Does anyone else read this like it could actually be two different people? Not that I'm sure it matters all that much. I haven't been able to figure out whatever happened after the war to Richard Norwood in the years I've been researching anyway. :P Irene

I just learned that I had to create a new guest book at the Norwood Family Page. The old guest book is still accessible for viewing through a link on the front page. The new guestbook can now be signed. This also means that the link at the top of many of the pages for signing the guest book wil not work. There are many pages to edit in order to fix this, and I will probably get to it in the future after I've stopped being angry with Yahoo!-Geocities. I also moved some of the information on the front page to separate pages in order to make the front page smaller. I think I was trying to do to much there. GMN Callam's indexes are now accessible via a link at the bottom of the page, which leads to some other links as well. I have also moved links to any new additions to the sites to their own page and they can be accessed on the front page via the link "What's New?" I received limited feedback regarding the changes I proposed for this mailing list. The majority want the default to remain sending replies to the list, but those who responded regarding prepending message subjects with [NORWOOD] or [NRWD] were almost evenly divided, but those who didn't want them were much more adamant than those who did. I think I'll leave well enough alone unless there is a strong outpouring of sentiment for prepending the subjects. I don't really expect strong outpourings of sentiment from Norwoods, however. ;-) Best wishes to you all. Dick Norwood http://www.geocities.com/~rnorwood/tnfpexp.htm

Hi! Does anyone have the Heritage Quest census index CD for 1870 Ohio? HQ is apparently out of this disk and I need a list of all the Norwoods (n*wood) from that state. I can trade you a list of all the Norwoods from one of their other 1870 CDs, like PA or DE, if you'd like. Thanks! Irene

Hi Cousins, I am looking for a long-lost half-brother of mine. My father (John Henry) was working in Ecuador around 1927 to 1950. During that time he met and married a Kathleen Sylvia Good. They had a son, Geoffrey John. Apparently the marriage did not work out and mother and child returned to England. Can anyone help, please? -- Hugh Norwood Beware of Geeks bearing GIFs... http://www.hnorwood.demon.co.uk/index.htm

I have recently created a page linked to the William Norwood page with photos and thoughts of Beth Yale ([email protected]). These are really lovely photos of Leckhampton Court and St. Peters that Beth wanted to share with all of us. Please go visit and enjoy. http://www.geocities.com/~rnorwood/lkhmptn.html With best regards, Dick Norwood

I've often wondered where these census takers got some of there info. And if they asked the neighbors in some cases then I think it clearly shows that neighbors weren't any friendlier in the old days than they are in the present, despite what we're told. ;) >Is your John related to Jonathan Norwood of New York? >G Norwood There are several John Norwoods in the New York and New Jersey area so I'm not sure which one you are referring to. My John was born in Paterson, NJ but all his children except the last two were born in Delaware Co, NY. In my main database I'm following three other John Norwoods from the Mid Atlantic area. One that was born in 1728 in New York City, NY, one that was born in 1780 in New York City, NY, and one that lived in Albany, NY in 1790, but I don't have much info on any of them. In my unknown Norwood database I have at least 25 other John Norwoods from the same area that I'm working on. The least they could've done is given them all unique middle names or unusual nicknames so I could tell them all apart. :P Irene http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norwood/

I just love digging through the census. Makes you wonder if any one was home when the census takers where going through. Is your John related to Jonathan Norwood of New York? G Norwood

Hi! The John Norwood you have found here is my great grandfather. I have a copy of this census listing. The "Louis" noted as 15 is actually John's daughter "Lois" born July 04, 1856 in Delaware Co, NY, it's another error on the census takers part that she's listed as male. The other interesting thing about this listing is that the eldest daughter, Phoebe, was married in 1868 and lived in Wisconsin with her husband and two children at the time this census was taken.
