Research Notes

Mother and daughter: Mary (Mills) Norton’s (Mills-3473) profile lists two husbands named Thomas Helme. However, my research shows that her daughter, also named Mary, is the person that married Thomas Helme. Mary Norton (Norton-9153), 1673-1710, married Thomas Helme, 1665-1710, in 1688 in Brookhaven, Suffolk, New York. When I add Thomas as Mary’s spouse, there are issues with husband and sibling relationships. I believe that Mary Mils (mother) married only once to Nathaniel Norton.Wilbur-1646 19:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC) Anonymous Wilbur
