Winthrop settled in Walworth Co, Amos and Ira settled in Sauk Co. David Barnam Norton settled in Juneau Co and remained there thru the 1880 census. On the 1850 census David/Phebe are listed in the household of David Barnam Norton (E B Norton on the census) They are both 79 years old. By 1860 they, David/Phebe, are gone. I am trying to find when they died and where they are buried. These Nortons were closely related to the Bennetts that settled in Sauk Co.

Phillips of Plymouth, Juneau Co., WI. I finally received his pension files from the NARA, confirming his parents names, who were my gr-grandparents! Personal data contained in these files, answered my questions as to his whereabouts from 1850, when he was listed in the census in Ellisburg, NY. at age 15, and not found until his death and burial in 1892, Ellisburg, NY. I learned he moved to Wisconsin with another family from Ellisburg in 1854 as hired help. He married Martha D. Carr in 1857, Plymouth, WI. It was ironic, but late Feb. 1892, he traveled to Ellisburg to see his mother who was ill and had not seen for many years. Affidavits from witnesses state while he was visiting other family members in Pamelia, Jefferson Co., NY., he died of chronic heart failure on March 08 1892! I was able to obtain his death record from there. In another affidavit, Martha D. Phillips, his widow in Plymouth, WI., states due to hardships she was unable to transport him back to WI. for burial. Therefore he was buried by his family in Ellisburg, NY. Mystery solved! Martha (Carr) Phillips applied for a pension on Dec. 27, 1892 and again in 1897. She died Feb. 04, 1914 in Elroy City, Juneau Co. WI. They had one daughter, Laura, who married Charles A. Green Sept 04, 1881, Plymouth Township, Juneau Co., WI. I have obtained a copy of their marriage record from the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison, WI. Now that I have confirmed a family connection to Norris Phillips, I would like to pass on all the data I have gathered of him to his descendents, including a copy of a land patent signed by President Ulysses S. Grant on Oct. 01, 1869. Thanks to you and others that had already sent me info of his family and what I have since learned, I can continue my search for more family history! Julia
