Sue Taylor
My great grandfather was a telegrapher, and taught all of his four daughters and one son to be telegraphers. All got jobs and were stationed at various railroad stations, especially in Wyoming. My grandmother, May, used to love to tell the story that Wild Bill Cody's winter camp was in Cody, WY, and he would be travelling all over, and knew all the Nortons He would always enter the station and walk up to the window, and ask, "Now which Norton girl are you?" with a laugh. Grandma also taught me about how a telegraph could tell who was sending the message by the rhythm of the dots and dashes, they called that sound the telegrapher's "fist".

He married Elizabeth Clark 1819 -1856 John's parents were Anne Skedge 1782-1826and James Norton 1776-1853 My 4x g parents It appears That one one of James brothers William 1803 -1884 also had son William 1830 who married Elizabeth Medler does this sound familiar at all?Reason I ask is because on family tree Dna we are matched at 4th cousins 513667 Linda Moore .I believe that my 3x g father John Norton was the first and maybe the only Norton that immigrated in 1837 to Canada with his wifes Clark family .We all decend from Edmund Norton and Mary Dodman.Please contact me Sue if anything sounds familiar thanks Linda
