NORTON*
The history of the Norton Family begins at the time of the Norman conquest when Le Segneur de Norville crossed over to England with King William the Conqueror, September 29th, 1066 and was his constable.
"The name at that time being Norville which in French signified North Village; the name being changed long afterwords to Nor-ton, which in English is North-town. It is supposed that all the families of this name in England, Ireland and America were derived from one man" - Walter Norton, Lakeville, Conn., 1909.
In New England Historical and Genealogy Register, Vol. 54, Hon. R. D. Smyth states that Thomas Norton* came to Guilford with Rev. Mr. Henry Whitfield in 1639, signed the Plantation Convenant and served the town as its miller until his death in 1649.
He is stated to have been a church warden of Mr. Whitfield's parish at ockley in Surrey, England, and has been thought to have been connected with the Nortons of Shapenhow, Bedfordshire (Register Vol. 13). Deacon L. M. Norton of Goshen identified him with Thomas, son of William and his second wife Dennis Chelmsby and put the date of his birth at about 1582.

Dear Terri,
My name is Carrie. I was searching for Dorothy H. Smallwood and your blog came up as a reference in Google. I'm a descendant of the Parmelee family you've listed in your blog and my grandparents, Cliff and Edna Parmley, had communication with Dorothy Smallwood over the years in regards to information on the family tree. I know she compiled volumes of information on the family and would like to find out how to access that information, if possible. If you can help me in any way it would be very much appreciated.
As a personal side note, I read your profile and found we have a bit in common - we are close to the same age and we both love the Cat Who series of books :)
If you would be so kind as to write to me with any info you have, my email address is carrie_lee62@msn.com.
Best Regards,
Carrie
