I think this is bogus. I've check 'Ancestral Roots of Certain Colonists'
[7th edition] and can find none of these families.

Recently discovered a new line from Elizabeth NORTON b. ca 1631 York Co. ME
m. Sylvester STOVER.

I have found an account of the NORTON family in NEHGR 13:226-229, dated 1859
and also AF. Is the following line still correct? If not, can someone point
me toward a better source? These are all names I am unfamiliar with.

1. Le Signr. de NORVILE came with Wm. the Conqueror, m. into house of VALOIS.

An old favorite. No,the Norville/Norton transition is not valid.

He was brother of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, and both the Nortons and
Cranmers are discussed in some detail in Waters' Chesters of Chickeley.
I recall a discussion of the various descendants of #10.John Norton
(perhaps in an attempt to identify Thomas of CT) in either NEHGR or TAG,
and there is also some information in Early Families of Guilford, CT. A
royal descent (disproved in last years NEHGR) through Cranmer, Russell,
etc. was included in Roberts' 500 Americans, so you should be able to
tell how solid the #12.Thomas to #14.Henry link is from whether it is
included there.

Just to update my own post, the article I had in mind was in TAG, vol.12
(I don't have the first page(s) in my copy, but what I have runs
pp.102-14.) Roberts does show the descent from Henry (#14) to Thomas
(#12).
