GEORGE NORTON

George of Salem & Ipswich Mass & Suffield Conn

b 1641 March 28 m first 1669 Oct 7 Sarah Hart who d 1682 June 23 at Suffield. George in second Mercy Gillett widow of Windsor.

The town of Suffield agreed with George Norton and Richard Austin 1695 to make all the windows for the minister's house at eighteen pence per light and to pay for the same in provision and flax. The early records of the town of Ipswich are stated to be very imperfect and mutilated there being but few records of births deaths and marriages prior to 1680. The Church records of the first parish have been destroyed or cannot be found to about 1775.

It is evident that the first five children of this George Norton were born in Ipswich but that he afterwards became a settler at Suffield Conn.  From the records of the doings of the Committee for the management of Stony Brook Plantation Suffield it appears that a grant of 60 acres of land 15 acres of it on High Street was made to George Norton Sept 14 1674. The settlement of the plantation was broken up in 1675 on account of the war with the Indians commonly known as Philip's war but was commenced again at its close in 1676 7 

The name of George Norton occurs as an inhabitant there as early as Sept 25 1677. He is called Ensign Norton in the list of voters March 9 1682. He was chosen one of the selectman in 1693 and was sent a representative to the general Court in Boston the same year at which time he is called Captain Norton. In the Probate records in Hampshire Book 3 pages 36 37 is found the settlement of the estate of this Gapt George Norton dated March 31 1698.

Mercy was his widow his sons George, Thomas, Nathaniel and Freegrace. His daughters Sarah, Alice, Mary, Abigail, Joanna and Elizabeth in the above order. Thomas Nathaniel and Alice were then of Ipswich 

He d 1696 Nov 15
