  • MEMORIAL ID 37844957

George Norton married by about 1635 Mary ____; she was admitted to Salem church 4 September 1637.

On 29 Nov 1659 Mary Norton, widow of George Norton, had ten children aged from 24 through 5 years, which would support a birthdate for Mary of about 1615. She was living on 14 Feb 1676[/7?].

The widow Norton married (2) in Ipswich 27 February 1659[/60] PHILIP FOWLER {1635, Newbury} (with whom she defended her administration of George's estate, November Term 1665).
(Seversmith dismisses the undocumented claim that she was Mary Machias; he also argues convincingly that the claim that Mary was sister of Bethia Cartwright of Salem derives from a misreading of the will of Bethia. [2]
