Notes for John Norris, Jr.:

[Norris.FTW]

John Norris followed family tradition, becoming a mariner as a young man. He traveled on the sea for many years. He returned to land at Charleston and went to farming. He was married to Jane Cammell about 1747 in the South Carolina colony. A marriage record was found in Lancaster County, Virginia, colony for John Norris and Jane Cammell February 4, 1737-8. She was twelve years his junior. They emigrated to Lunenburg County, Virginia colony, about 1749. It appears that about 1761, John and Jane emigrated to Elbert County, Georgia colony, but returned to Lunenburg County, Virginia, colony by 1764. John Norris was recorded with one tithe in Cornwall Parish, Lunenburg County, in 1764. They returned to the South Carolina colony during the Revolutionary War. They settled in the Colleton District, then moved to the Abbeville District. John died in 1776 or 1777.

The following information is quoted from the manuscript of Major Harry Alexander Davis, entitled "The Norris Family of Maryland and Virginia, 1361-1930:"

"Born South Carolina in 1710, probably near Charleston. He became a mariner early in life and followed the sea for many years.

He married prior to 1748 Jane ............, born South Carolina 1728. They migrated to Elbert County, Georgia, about 1761 and after about two years moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina. He was a farmer and died about 1776-7. Jane survived him some years and died about 1791-2."
