He lists a William NORTON as being born ABT. 1739 in New Hanover Co., NC and dying 1 Aug 1806 in Horry Co, SC. In "A History of Marion County, South Carolina From the earliest times to the present, 1901. By W.W. Sellers" "The first of this family came from England to New England, at a very remote period in the past, about the first of the seventeenth century; that his name was John; that he or one of his descendants, named John, afterwards came down to Virginia and settled near what is now Alexandria, VA. This Virginia John had five sons, all of whom were soldiers in the Revolutionary War; one of them, James, served in Washington's guard as a Sergeant; another one of them was taken prisoner and died in a prison ship in Charleston harbor, in 1780 or 1781. Their names were William, James, John, David and Solomon. After the Revolution, the old man and two of his sons James and John went to Kentucky; two others of them came to South Carolina; one, William, went to Georgetown, and the other went to Beaufort." Several excellent sites that mentions this NORTON family can be found at: http://www.nortonfamily.net/Bourbon.htm Norton Family History, Descendants of William Norton,Horry Co., SC http://members.tripod.com/~RobertStapleton/staplenorton.html Hope this helps.

I would appreciate any information that anyone may have on my ggf Benjamin F. Sports. He was born about 1865 and died about 1916 in Greelyville in Williamsburg county.

Dear Carole: Re: Dr. Norton's parents, did you view the census records of 1810, 1800, and 1790? Re: Alstons, a tremendous amount of data is available about the Alstons and the Allstons in the South Carolina Historical Society at 100 Meeting Street in Charleston, SC. Visit www.schistory.org. Also, call the court houses (probate department) in the relevant counties; and visit your local Morman Family History Center or web site. Sincerely, Diana

Sorry I don`t have those names but, I do have 14 other Norton`s if you can think of anyother first names. The only Church info I have is on the Muddy Creek/Ebenezer Methodist Church and thats very little. Diana

Nona, Overtime I try to find info. on my family I keep getting the surname Ferdon. Did your Green surname come from Williamsburg Cty. also. My nationality is white, black & indian. Also after my grandparents their is really no solid leads. Their was definitely a Sara/Sarah Green also an Agnes, William, Toby, Thomas etc. mentioned in the family. Do any of this sound familiar to you? Also Green/Greene are on both sides of my family in Williamsburg Cty. Thanks in advance!

Can someone tell me about the Episcopal Churches in Williamsburg, and if there is any way to access their birth and marriage records for the late 1700's and early to mid 1800's? Failing that, does anyone know the address and phone # of the oldest Episcopal Church in the area? I am trying to find the parents of my g-g grandfather, Dr. SAMUEL EDWIN NORTON b 8 May 1816 in either Georgetown or Williamsburg. DR NORTON"S wife was JULIA JUSTINA ALSTON whom he married in Halifax County NC in 1798. I ALSO need the birth or baptism record for his son, my great grandfather, JAMES HUDSON NORTON b 6 Sept 1844...in Williamsburg??? Thanks for any suggestions, Carole Caroline Burnett Cook daughter of Caroline Beasley NORTON daughter of Eldridge Greenwood NORTON son of CAPT.JAMES HUDSON NORTON,CSA son of DR. SAMUEL EDWIN NORTON

Laura, where do you live now? Did any of your Greens move to North Florida in the 1840's. Esp. Thomas and Agnes? Also, do you have any other dates on the other names? Edyie
