Disputed Associations

This Richard Norman is not shown the father of Elizabeth, wife of John Clark (1641-1695). See Walter Goodwin Davis, The ancestry of Sarah Stone, wife of James Patten ... (Portland, Me., The Southworth Press, 1930), 52-54, especially 53-54; digital images, Hathi Trust. The association of John Clark's wife as a daughter of Richard Norman has been disputed by WikiTree collaborators. Research Notes.

Biography

Cross of St George
Richard Norman was born in England.
Richard was born, probably Dorset, England, about 1623. (In the town records at Marblehead, his age was given as 50 in 1673 and 57 in 1680.) He was the son of Richard1 Norman and presumably Florence _____.

He is possibly the Richard Norman baptized Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester, Dorset, 1 September 1622.[1]

Immigration

The details of his immigration are not known. His father, Richard1 Norman, is known to have been of Salem by 1626.[2][3] Young Richard would have then been a toddler of about three years--he is presumed to have immigrated with his father.

At Massachusetts Bay

In 1653, "Richard Norman, 'the elder,' made over his house and ten acre lot in Marvellhead [sic] upon Darbe Fort side" to his son Richard. Richard's (the younger's) mother is unknown" (Davis, pp. 44-45).

Richard's younger sister, Florence, m. 2nd Thomas Whittridge of Ipswich, son of William Whittridge, a carpenter, who came to New England on the "Elizabeth" in 1635. When Thomas died in 1672, administration of his estate was granted to Robert Morgan (nephew by marriage) and Richard Norman (brother-in-law)--both referred to as brothers in Thomas Whittridge's verbal wishes provided on his deathbed.

Richard applied as freeman on May 19, 1680 as a resident of Marblehead, Massachusetts Bay.

Richard was engaged in the fishing trade and he drowned at Moulton's Misery, before 11 August 1683. "On August 11, 1683, a jury impanelled 'to enquire to the untimely death of Lieut. Norman' found that being in a shallop at Moulton's Misery (Misery Island) he leapt out intending to swim ashore, but was drowned."[4]

His widow Margaret was appointed administrator of his estate. Assuming she was his only wife, and mother of his children they married by 1650. [Great Migration Begins, p 1335]. Probate mentions his children:[5]

Rebecka Norman, born about 1650
Richard Norman
William Norman
John Norman born about 1658 m Sarah Maverick
Elizabeth Norman; married (1) Aholiab Daimond; married (2) William Hine
Joseph Norman; married Mary Collins
Benjamin Norman died young
Jonathan Norman
Probate was completed on November 27, 1683. His widow Margaret married 2nd to Robert Goodwin on October 15, 1685.[6]

Research Notes

Daughter Elizabeth. Richard Norman's daughter is not shown as the wife of John Clark. See Walter Goodwin Davis, The ancestry of Sarah Stone, wife of James Patten ... (Portland, Me., The Southworth Press, 1930), 52-54, especially 53-54; digital images, Hathi Trust

Second Wife Elizabeth Whitridge The only source listed in Torrey for the first marriage to "Elizabeth Whitridge (-1659?) 15 Jul 1654" is Tingley-Meyers. [This is also the sole source for the second marriage to Margaret Flint 28 Mar 1660 in Salem]. Margaret was appointed administratrix of his estate, so she was certainly Richard's wife at his death. No marriage records for Richard Norman are found outside of Tingley-Meyers nor other evidence for a wife Elizabeth. This profile previously tried to reconcile these inconsistencies in these sources by suggesting 3 marriages 1) Margaret ____________ 2) Elizabeth Whittredge 3) Margaret Flint. It has been edited to align with the most reliable sources, The Great Migration Begins, and Ancestry of Walter Davis Goodwin. However, it should be noted there isn't much documentation of Richards' married life, so it cannot be certain that Margaret was Richard's only wife and the mother of his children. [Note additional research to find references prior to probate would be welcome. Grantor's index didn't turn up any earlier references in deeds].
