- A History of Farmington, Franklin County, Maine
NORTON
This large and respectable family is probably of English descent, but
the writer is unable to trace its ancestry further than to Nicholas Norton,
who is found a resident of the county of Duke's County, Mass., as early as
1669. Tradition gives his birthplace as Wemouth, Mass., but he married his
wife Elizabeth in Duke's County. He had one son, Joseph, who was the father of
Ebenezer and John Norton. Ebenezer married Deborah, daughter of Experience
Mayhew, and had four children, Eliakim, Peter, Mehitable, and Jedidah. John
died early in life, leaving a son John.
