My Norton ancestors had settled in Northampton County, North Carolina by 1744, having come from Bristol Parish, Virginia (probably from the part of Bristol Parish lying in Prince George County), where William and Anne Norton, parents of James and Mary Norton, were living in 1721. (The birth of James Norton, son of William and Anne, appears in the Bristol Parish Register, showing him born 2 October 1721, and baptized 30 October 1722; Mary Norton, their daughter, was born 9 January 1724, and baptized 1 November 1724 [Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne, The Vestry Book and Register of Bristol Parish, Virginia, 1720-1789 (Richmond: 1898); Doggett 3-4].) William and Anne’s daughter Mary Norton acquired, apparently as an inheritance, Northampton County land from the estate of Thomas Harrington, deceased, in 1744/5 (Northampton County Deed Book 1, p.180, 11 February 1744/5, Mary Harrington and Drury Harrington, Executors of Thomas Harrington, deceased, to Mary Norton of Northampton County, 100 acres in the fork of Arthur’s Creek, part of a patent of 200 acres granted to Thomas Harrington on 1 May 1742 [Doggett 5-6]). The deceased Thomas Harrington may have been the father of William Norton’s wife Anne, and thus the grandfather of Mary Norton, but this is unproven. Mary and Drury Harrington, in another deed dated on the same day and with almost the same wording, conveyed another 100 acres of land, from the same 200-acre grant, also apparently as an inheritance, to Mary Hill, daughter of the late John Hill, deceased (ibid.). Unfortunately, no family relationships to Thomas Harrington are stated in these deeds, thus they are left to conjecture. Mary Norton again appears in a 1744 deed dated 17 August, when John Wade conveyed to Thomas Parker, both of Ockonichy (Ocannechie) in Northampton County, one negro boy called Will and one horse (Northampton County Deed Book 1, p. 134, 17 August 1744, witnessed by Thomas Pace and Mary Norton [Doggett 5]). William Norton’s wife Anne Norton appears as witness to a Northampton County land deed in 1763 (Northampton County Deed Book 3, p. 241, 2 February 1763, Thomas Jordan to Burwell Bass, land on Arthur’s Creek joining Edward Heathcock and others [research of William Alton Norton]). In later years, reference is made to “Norton’s Corner” in Northampton County land records.

This is a picture of my Dad taken in the early forties. I thought there was a pretty fair resemblance to Charles Berry Norton. What do you think?

Here is the comparison picture I made by cropping your Grandfather Elmer Norton from the Berry Norton family picture posted on webshots. I had noticed the resemblance to our father a long time ago and was interested enough to tell my sister, Betty, about it.She agreed that there was a strong resemblance.
