100. Nathan 4 Norton, (Thomas, 3 Isaac 2 Nicholas 1 ), b. abt. 1700; res. E. [Edgartown], husbandman. Little information about him is obtainable and the name of his wife is unknown.* They had the following named children:
Note*: A great grandson, Benjamin Hammett Norton stated that her name was Sarah Vinson, but the author has not been able to verify it. From the names of the children many of them new in the Norton family (Gideon, Ansel, Theoda), it is probable that his wife was not an Island woman.
