John Norton, third son of Richard and Ellen Rowley Norton, was one of the first settlers of Branford, Mass., and moved to Farmington, CT in 1659. According to this source his ancestry has been traced to Alfred the Great and Henry I of France. No source was listed.
JOHN NORTON was the founder of the family in Farmington. His name first appears on the records of the town of Branford, among the earliest recorded acts of the proprietors, July 7, 1646. There is reason to suppose, that he was among that portion of the settlers of Branford, who removed from Wethersfield in 1644. His earlier history and origin is unknown. In 1659 he is said to have removed to Hartford. He came to Farmington; and united with the church there in 1661.(*) His name appears in the list of freemen in 1669; and also among the "eighty-four proprietors" of Farmington in 1672.(+) His house-lot was between the houses of the late Seth Lewis and John North.?? He died in 1711. His wife was a sister of John Clark. They had five children: Hannah, born 1649; married Samuel North in 1666. Dorothy, born 1651. John, born 1653; see below. Samuel, born 1659; died the same year. Thomas, born 1660; married Hannah Rose.
The following entries in the early records of the church in Farmington, as kept by the Rev. Samuel Hooker, second pastor of the church, confirm most of the above dates. They occur under the head of "Births and Baptisms."

- "Hannah Norton, daughter of John Norton, aged about twelve, baptized here immediately after her father joining, above mentioned.
