Research Notes
Desire has been disconnected as a daughter of Nicholas Norton Jr. (abt.1610-aft.1690) and Elizabeth (Isaac) Norton (abt.1612-1690). I found no indication in the sources that their family included a daughter Desire, and Given that Elizabeth had her first child in 1641, it's not likely that she could be the mother of Desire.
