Problem: On 21 Oct 1738 Freegrace Norton & Margaret Towsley publish intention to be married. On 23 Nov 1738 Margaret Trumble & Freegrace Norton are married. Are they the same person? Is it Towsley or Trumble? Margaret Towsley birth is a closer match to Freegrace Norton so I have assigned the children to Freegrace & Margaret Towsley.

The town of Suffield agreed with George Norton and
Richard Austin 1695 to make all the windows for
the minister's house at eighteen pence per light and
to pay for the same in provision and flax. The
early records of the town of Ipswich are stated
to be very imperfect, and mutilated, there being but
few records of births, deaths and marriages prior to
1680. The Church records of the first parish have
been destroyed or cannot be found to about 1775.
It is evident that the first five children of this George
Norton were born in Ipswich, but that he afterwards
became a settler at Suffield, Conn. From the records
of the doings of the Committee for the management
of Stony Brook Plantation (Suffield)
it appears that a grant of 60 acres of land (15
acres of it on High Street) was made to George
-Norton Sept. 14, 1674. The settlement of the
plantation was broken up in 1675 on account of the
war with the Indians commonly known as Philip's
war; but was commenced again at its close in
1676-7. The name of George Norton occurs as an
inhabitant there as early as Sept. 25, 1677. He is
called Ensign Norton in the list of voters March 9,
1682. He was chosen one of the selectman in 1693
and was sent a representative to the general Court in
Boston the same year, at which time he is called
Captain Norton. In the Probate records in Hampshire,
Book 3, pages 36—37, is found the settlement
of the estate of this Capt.George Norton, dated March
31 , 1698. Mercy was his widow—his sons: George,
Thomas, Nathaniel and Freegrace. His daughters:
Sarah, Alice, Mary, Abigail, Joanna and Elizabeth
in the above order: Thomas, Nathaniel and Alice
were then of Ipswich He d. 1696, Nov 15, (Notes
