Norton, John (b. Abt 1622, d. 5 Nov 1709)
Note: RESIDED: The name of John Norton appears on the first page of the Branford town records. He removed to Farmington, CT about 1659, and his name appears on record as one of the eighty-four proprietors in the first division of land. From FamilyTree Maker, Family Archives CD # 179. Family History: Connecticut Genealogies #1, 1600s-1800s. Genealogies of Connecticut Families, Vol II, Reverand John Norton of Middleton, page 659.

Email from Bob Norton---JOHN NORTON born about 1622 at London, 3rd son of RICHARD NORTON and ELLEN ROWLEY, daughter of THOMAS ROWLEY, emigrated to America, and as far as we know came first to Branford, Conn. His name first appears on the records there on the first page of the first book dated July 7, 1646, in a list among whom lands were to be divided. These were records of the early acts if not the first acts of the proprietors, or planters as they were commonly called. His name appears repeatedly to 1648 in similar lists. The first inhabitans of Branford were from Wethersfield, Conn., and from Southampton, L.I., and the settlement is said to have been begun in 1644, but the laying out of the lands was not begun before 1646. JOHN NORTON removed from Branford to Hartford about 1659. The description of his Hartford property seems to be worth an insertion in this place. It is on "The original distribution of the lands of Hartford, page 452 and 455." September 29, 1659 he made a purchase in Hartford of Jasper Gunn---of several pieces of land, "and housing". He probably left Branford at about that time---but was before a proprietor in the new township of Farmington. "Land in Hartford upon the river of Connecticut, belonging to JOHN NORTON and his heirs forever,---one parcel of which he bought of Jasper Gunn, containing by estimation one acre and two roods, be it more or less, together with a house and barn standing thereon; which parcel of land abutts on the highway leading from the old ox-pasture to the mill, on the west side of land appointed for a burying place and on Charles Fox's land on the East and on John Stedman's land on the South---and on O. (Ozias) Goodwin's land on the North. Next are described seven pieces more, a part of which was on the "East side of the great river,"---containing in all about 35 acres. The next and last piece is thus described,---"More one parcel of wood land which he bought of Jasper Gunn, lying in the ox-pasture, containing by estimation thirty acres, be it more or less, abutting on John Pantry's land on the South and on a highway lying in that ox-pasture on the East on Mill river on the West." "Those parcels of land were purchased of Jasper Gunn, and passed over to JOHN NORTON by a deed of sale Sept. 29, 1629---but it should have been 59,---which deed was witnessed by Messrs. John Steel and John Sumor. Recorded this 15th day of Feb. 1666, per me---John Allyn Register." "These parcels of land above written are all sold to Ensign Jarred Spencer, and stand recorded to him in the 445th page of this book. John Allyn Register." On the page above referred to is a deed from JOHN NORTON---"Land in Hartford upon the river of Connecticut, belonging to Ensign Jarred Spencer and his heirs forever, which he purchased of JOHN NORTON. Then follows a description of all the above said pieces. "February 1666, JOHN NORTON ordered me to record these parcels above written to Ensign Jarred Spencer he having sold them to him. John Allyn, Register." There is next following a receipt sign by JOHN NORTON. "These presents witness that whereas Jarred Spencer of Hartford was indebted unto me JOHN NORTON of Farmington the sum of one hundred twenty-two pounds and ten shillings, for certain parcels of land and housing situated at Hartford", etc., this was dated Feb. 23, 1664. With respect to the question---when did JOHN NORTON remove to Farmington?---the best evidence to be found in the record of the baptism of his son Samuel "May 30, 1659. On the Proprietor's Book in Farmington his name appears among the 84 proprietors in the First Division of lands---and onward. The town was incorporated 1645. There can be little doubt that he was a proprietor there several years before his settlement in Farmington even possibly before he moved to Branford. Made free at Hartford May 21, 1664. He was then of Farmington. Joined the church in Farmington in October 1661.

For the descendants of John Jorton of Branford, refer to an article on the Referand John Norton of Middletown, by Zoeth S. eldredge, which was published in the NEHG Registerm vol 54, p. 53; also "Some Descendants of John Norton of Branford, 1622-1709", by Walter Whittlesey Norton. We (the authors) are not convinced by present evidence offered that the English ancestry of the emigrant John Norton is proved.
