| Note* | | The History of Martha's Vineyard by Dr. Charles Banks: Volume III Family Genealogies: pp. 341 - 382 THE NORTON FAMILY NICHOLAS NORTON, the father of the emigrant, removed from WhiteLackington with his father when a child, and died there at the age of 54years (1616) as described in the chancery suit. That he was a man abovethe average is shown by the fact of his occupying the position of churchwarden of the parish (1599), but as the parish register does not existprior to 1678 it is not possible at present to determine the names of buthalf of his eight children. The attested copies of parish registers thenrequired by church law preserved the names of three of them and thechancery suit furnishes the name of his eldest son. Unfortunately, theBishops Transcripts of Broadway Parish in the Diosceasan Registry atWells for the years 1609-11 inclusive, the particular years in which weshould undoubtedly find the baptism of our Nicholas whose birth fell, aswe know, within those years are missing from the files. His knownchildren are as follows: I. JOHN, b. abt. 1590. II. JOAN, bur. 1598. III. JAMES (?) bur. 1678 at Broadway. IV. JOSEPH, bapt. 3 Feb. 1607. V. NICHOLAS, b. 1610 (the emigrant). He deposed in 1676 aged 66 years. VI. ELIZABETH, bapt. 1612.1 |
