Vicky, I'm sorry, but you cannot send solicitations like this to the Norwood-L mailing list. The list is reserved for sharing information regarding the Norwood surname and Norwood family research and genealogy. I think we will have a lot of messages asking why a message like this was posted to the list, which will clog the list unnecessarily. I will post a generic reminder to the list about appropriate content. Please don't worry about any negative mail you receive, but a brief apology (oops!) to the list would be nice now. Sorry for any embarrassment you might experience.

Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for the info, this was a great read. Thank goodness for the cantankerous and the rascals amongst our families for they are the ones who leave us a wide enough paper trail to follow. It's those family members that led a quiet life that I end up being frustrated with because they are harder to find. ;) Thanks again for helping my fit of curiosity!

Hi! Okay, so I know I said I was going to take the month off from doing this. I have no excuse. I may need to find a twelve step group for genealogy addiction. :) The following major items have been updated: BERMUDA Added some info for Richard Norwood (b. 1590) from two published sources. NEBRASKA Added some info for Andrew Norwood (b. 1859) from a published source. NEW JERSEY Added 1870 census listing for Richard Norwood (b.1803) to his web page. Corrected typo to Richard's death date. Added inventory listing from Richard's probate records. (Okay....is it just me because I'm not a drinker, or does anyone else think he had an inordinate amount of wine in his possession considering the era and his financial status?) And last, but certainly not least.... * Added all the census listings in New Jersey for the surname NORWOOD for 1870 and 1880 that I could locate. ZZZZZ....this is me taking a well deserved nap. :) Irene http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norwood/

Kitty, Very, very interesting. Thanks for your research. I've found Bill Norwood (Hyatt William Norwood) son of my uncle, William Norwood and grandson of my grandfather, William H. Norwood. Bill lives in Sherman, CT. with his wife Bonnie. I am in the process of finding their e-mail, which I should have soon.

He was a landowner from Patapsco, and lived near Elkridge Landing, where he and his brother Samuel ran Norwood's Ferry (or "Elkridge Ferry") on the Patapsco and he had a plantation that may have spanned the Patapsco, which was a raging river then, not the silted-up creek seen today. He died in 1815 and is buried in Elkridge on the grounds of the Seagram's facility. I say cantankerous because he apparently never wanted to back down from any argument, and was involved in many lawsuits. There is a series of verbal volleys printed in a Baltimore weekly which he fired at Zachaias Onion of Onion's Iron Works during a dispute over a debt Onion owed him. The exact nature of the argument is never stated (I guess that wouldn't have been gentlemanly), but any gentleman can read between the lines that Norwood is calling him dishonest. He later led a group of men onto the Iron Works to recover what he thought was rightfully his. Edward Norwood served on the Commttee of Observation for Anne Arundel County in 1775, then later was added to the Baltiomore County Committee of Observation representing Patapsco Upper Hundred in Nov of 1775. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the Anne Arundel militia on Feb 7, 1776. By July he was a Captain in the 3rd battalion of the Flying Camp. There are various tidbits about this company in the Maryland history books, but it apparently was discharged on Oct 13, 1776. On Dec 10, 1776 he was appointed captain in the 4th MD Line. Some notes imply that his men liked him so much that they wouldn't serve under anyone else. He claims to have "left the service" on Sep 29, 1778, whereas General Smallwood, commander of Maryland forces, claims to have dismissed him from the service. The court-martial to which you refer occurred as a result of Edward Norwood's criticisms of General Smallwood's performance as leader of the Maryland troops during the War for Independence. General Smallwood got word of the criticisms and had Norwood court-martialed. The matter was kicked all the way up to General George Washington, who was exasperated that a junior officer wouldn't just apologize to his commander and continue to serve (that's the document which you found). But Edward Norwood insisted he was right. You've got to see the finale of this argument, published in a Baltimore paper by Edward Norwood. He does not repeat his criticisms of General Smallwood (that wouldn't be conduct becoming an officer) but he is concerned that people's opinions of him will be lowered due to the court-martial. He avers that he was right in his criticisms, but a junior officer can't expect his senior officer to admit his errors, so there was nothing to do but resign for the good of the service. The amazing part is that he reasserts that his criticisms are valid, and got every available officer in the Maryland Line to sign the document in support. That is one interesting group of signatures. (see attached) He never rejoined the service (but maybe later was in the MD militia after Smallwood retired), but later served as Baltimore county coroner. Somewhere along the line he came by the title "Colonel", so he was known as Col. Edward Norwood when he died. He continued to go into court to press several lawsuits, including even one about the ferry business against his own brother and partner, Samuel Norwood. This man seemed to embody the motto "Don't Tread On Me."

Write to the library in Georgia. Your public library can give you the address. Ask them to photocopy the pages from the book. Inclose $5.00-$10.00 to cover copies. And let them know exactly what you want. They will not copy the entire book but would provide some pages. If there are more charges be prepared to pay them. Also ask if there is a local genealogy group, just in case the library is not willing to provide this type service. The genealogy group might. Enclose a stamped self addressed envelope to help the library defer costs. Information on libraries and genealogy groups is in the Handy Book for Genealogists and in the spring issue of the Everton journal. Hope this helps. Bev Rakowitz

Hi! I was taking a look through some of the pictures on http://memory.loc.gov when I came across some papers of George Washington's regarding the court martial of a Capt. Edward Norwood of the 4th Maryland Regiment. I'm not related directly to the Maryland Norwoods but I was just curious if anyone had researched this incident and knew the outcome. My curiosity was piqued. Thanks! Irene

Thanks very much---your message did come through! So now I know I am subscribed. My ancestors are in Little River Pioneers by Nina W. Cottrell, Thomas R. Knox and Miles Womack, Jr. Tried to get a copy of The de Northwode Norwood Family of Early England and Early Southeast United States by Eleanor Davis McSwain via interlibrary loan. My library told me the only copy they could find was in a library in Georgia (Thomasville, I think) and they would not allow it to go out on loan. Does anybody know where else I might find a copy from where I could get it through interlibrary loan? [email protected]

I am trying it find out if I am still subscribed to the Norwood newsletter through my aol address. [email protected]

Irene: Nice work on the website! Has your research led to Delaware? I am researching the ancestry of the Norwood families of Delaware. The oldest Delaware Norwoods I have discovered were born in the mid-late 1700's. I am theorizing that their ancestors were born in NJ, PA or MD. Interestingly, the names John and Benjamin appear within my research (father and son). Could we have a connection?

Added link to Miller family web site with more photos.

I think I goofed when I posted my request. My husbands father Charles was born in 1932 in McComb MS his father's name was James and his mother was Donie Callie CARTER. I would say that his parents were born in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Thanks to everyone that has responded. Vicky norwood. --- waymon <[email protected]> wrote: > This is for Vicky Norwood, > > Vicky, I saw where James Clark had responded to your earlier > message regarding > James Norwood b 1932 ?. > Try this site in Montgomery AL.

Hi Diane, We have corresponded before, but I have a little more information that may help you in your search. I am of the opinion that Samuel Norwood was the father of several of the Norwood girls in Carroll County. I have been going on the assumption that he was the father of my Oliver H. P. Norwood, but now it looks as if she was probably one of his daughters. Here is what I have in a nut shell. ? Norwood married Elizabeth Underwood as per Joseph Underwood's will in Elbert Co in 1824. A Pernelia Norwood is also listed in that will. Samuel N. paid taxes in 1807 in Franklin Co. Ga. Samuel N. sold property in 1815 in Franklin Co. while living in Elbert Co. Samuel N. was the lucky drawer of land lot 78-13 in Carroll Co., his draw was from Decatur Co. Ga. Samuel N. sold land lot 78-13 in 1830 as a resident of Carroll Co. Samuel N. was on the 1830 census with 4 males and 9 females in Carroll Co.( I don't know where he lived in Carroll Co. but if you look at William H. Dollarhides, maps showing the Census boundaries, you will find that most of the indian territory now known as Cass Co. was included in the 1830 Carroll Co. Census.) between 1831-1833, Pernelia m. Selman, Lucinda m Baird, Sarah m Liles, and Winney m Crook all in Carroll Co. Samuel N. was the lucky drawer of two land lots in Cherokee Co. in the 1832 land lottery from Carroll Co. Theophilus and Thomas also won land lots in that lottey. Samuel and Theophilus A. Norwood jointly purchased land lot 152-23 in Section 2 of Cass Co. in August 1837. This property was in the North East Corner of Cass County at that time. It is located just NE of Pine Log. The property may or may not be in what is now Gordon Co. They built a mill pond and Mill there and Theophilus was still there as of the 1870 Census. I spoke with Mrs. Garrison with the Bartow County Genealogical Society there. Her grandfather purchased that property for a company, and it now is owned by the Country of Guatemala. Samuel N. is listed on the 1840 census with 9 males and 6 females in the Carroll Co. Census. HOWEVER, I think this information is in error, because 1) the 1840 census posted by the Carroll Co. website does NOT list any Norwoods and 2) the Bartow Co Hist. Society had a person go to Washington and transcribe the 1840 census. Samuel and all the others are listed on that Census. The list is in the Bartow County History Book. Anyway I believe that Samuel lived in Cass Co. in 1840. Although Theophilus A. Norwood married in Jan. 1840, he is not listed on the 1840 census. I think that he is one of the 9males listed. My gggrandmother Elizabeth married William Wood in May 1841in Cherokee Co. William Wood is listed on the 1850 Cherokee Co. Census with Elizabeth Wood, 4 wood children , plus Weny Norwood, and Stanford Norwood. My ggrandfather OHP Norwood is listed on that same census with a Margaret c. Norwood (wife) and John R. I. Norwood. He moved away in 1852 and died in Hot Spring Co. Ark in 1896. Elizabeth Wood (widowed) joined him in 1856 and was listed with him in the 1860 and 1870 Hot Spring, Census'. There is no proof that all the Samuel Norwoods listed above are the same person, but I think perhaps they are. I can't explain what he was doing in the extreme Southwest corner of Georgia (Decatur Co.) when he won the land lot in 1827, but I did find out that it was not necessary for a person to live where he placed his name. Since he tried to sell the land immediately in 1827 while in Decatur Co. and later in Bibb Co. and finally in Carroll Co. I kind of think he may have been an indian trader. I hope the above may be of some value to you in your search, regards Al Norwood
