G2G: Seeking information re. parents of a Franklin Norton NOT the son of Anson Norton and Persis Walker.

Question

Born New York State, died Chicago, IL. Married Elizabeth Hewlitt (of multiple spellings).

Answer 1

A 1855 census record for Franklin (last name misspelled as Mcnaughton) identifies his mother as Desire Gardiner. See: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K63D-2QP?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=GX13-SSY

I added a link to Franklin's FamilySearch profile on his Wikitree page. Besides the census, little is known about Desire.

Thank you. I've been trying to get somewhere from there, but no luck so far. Still, it's a start. Thank you.
