George Rankin Farm. William and Jemima had a son named Gideon P. Norton, born 1774 who married Sarah Edmunson. Most of this info came from research already done...found on ancestry.com and at nortonfamily.net web site.

That's as far as I can go.... I have been trying to find something to link
my great great grandfather (Thomas P. Norton 1804-1875) to Gideon P. Norton and Sarah Edmundson. But so far, no luck.
