Bill’s Family: Ancestors of Eldora Beahm

 
These pages are a compilation of my work and that of others. You are welcome to use anything on this page, but be aware that although I have been as careful and accurate as possible, I am not a professional genealogist. I have been working on our genealogy for over 25 years, and started the website in 2005. Some of the lines I have researched myself; some, especially on Rita’s side, we inherited the research of other family members over the past 75 years. Still, the majority of these pages are limited to compilations from published books and what I could find on the internet. The target audience was and remains our family, so the family pages are limited to our own ancestors. I have set it up so that each page is one set of ancestors, with their descendants. For the most part I have limited my scope to their great-grandchildren (second cousins to us); in some cases I list sources which may continue further.   HOME

7820. John Norton was born 15 Feb 1637/38 in England, and died 5 Mar 1703/04 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut. He is a son of Thomas Norton [15640] and Grace Wells [15641]. John married first, in 1664,

We don’t know of any children from this first marriage; it is likely that Elizabeth died in childbirth.
John married second, in 1729, Mary. Her last name is uncertain. Some have her as Mary Groton, daughter of John Groton. Others list her as Mary Morgan, daughter of John Morgan, and coming from the town of Groton.

This is possible, but we also have him married to Sarah Kelsey (1708-1786). This scenario requires either that Sarah Norton died before 1728 or, as some sources list Sarah Kelsey’s death as 1764, the marriage to Sarah Norton might be after 1764.
