Biography

John was born 16 Nov 1715. He was the son of John Norton.[1]

John married Eunice Hitchcock 28 August 1738 in Springfield, Massachusetts.[2]

"He appears to have gone thrice during the French War (1755, 1756, and 1760) as Chaplain to Connecticut troops. He married very early, as his eldest child, a daughter, was born December 1, 1738. His wife soon died, and in 1742 he married a second wife, Eunice, who bore him five children, and who died in East Hampton, May 27, 1796, in the 84th year of her age. His eldest child by this marriage died in the Prison Ship in New York Harbor during the Revolution." (Dexter)

Research Notes

Some sources give a death date of 24 Mar 1748. Evidently the correct date is 24 Mar 1778, as is given by Eldredge.
