Hi, I am trying to verify my Norris ancestry.  Here are our definite recent ancestors:

Littleton H Norris, b c1803 Georgia, m Harriet Gregory
David G Norris, b May 1849 Arkansas, m maybe Annie Chandler
Crawford Littleton Norris, b 17 Mar 1892 New London, AR, m Callie Eugenia Cargill

As for Littleton’s heritage, this is the best I can surmise, but I haven’t found actual data sources to back it up well other than other family trees and a few regional land records in Georgia:

Edward Norris b Oct 1639 St. Mary's Co., MD d Feb 1696 Baltimore, MD m Mary Freeman
John Norris, b 1663 Anne Arundel, MD, m Elizabeth Parsons
Edward Norris, b 4 Feb 1701 Anne Arundel, MD, m Hannah Scott
Joseph Norris, 15 Dec 1725 St John, Harford, MD, m Phillis Ann Barton
Joseph Needham Norris, b 1761 Maryland, m Sarah Polly Ellsbery
Littleton H Norris, b c1803 Georgia, m Harriet Gregory

Edward Norris matches up with the son of Thomas Norris, the first patriarch currently listed on your patriarch page.  I would be interested in getting one of my male relatives to submit a DNA test to verify the link between Littleton Norris and Joseph Needham Norris, but it doesn’t look like anyone in the same branch has submitted a test yet.  Do you have any contact with them to help find another willing participant?

Thanks!

Thanks so much, Carrie!  I just have one little correction - it's "Littleton", not "Littlejohn", although that would be cool in a Robin Hood sense.  :)

[Carrie]

Hi, siatex.

I apologize for the mistake, it should be correct now.  Thanks for letting me know!

Carrie

[siatex]

Sorry, I found a lot of records that clear up the confusion on patriarchy of Littleton Norris.  So, the bad news is you need to erase the Norris which come after "Edward Norris, b 4 Feb 1701 Anne Arundel, MD, m Hannah Scott".

The good news is that we have two separate sets of bible records and other supporting evidence for this new line of Norris' that I am giving to you below.  I do not see any probably lines to link it up with on the current Patriarch page.

James Norris, b ca 1800 VA or NC
Josias William Norris, b ca 1739-1740 prob NC, m Ann
James (McKenzie?) Norris, b 2 Jan 1776 Salisbury, NC, m Sarah Sally Patrick
Littleton Harris Norris, b 7 Apr 1803 Oglethorpe Co, GA, m Harriet Gregory
David Gregory Norris, b 26 May 1847 Union Co, AR, m Annie Chandler
Crawford Littleton Norris, b 17 Mar 1892 New London, AR, m Callie Eugenia Cargill

Again, sorry for the previous error!
