"OCCUPATION: Carpenter. Innkeeper ('George Norton licensed to keep an ordinary upon the road where he dwells, and to sell strong waters to travellers,' 29 June 1658 [EQC 2:100]; license renewed, 28 June 1659 [EQC 2:164]).
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Included in list of Salem church members compiled late in 1636 (with later annotation 'dead') [SChR 5]; admission prior to 14 May 1634 implied by freemanship. …
FREEMAN: 14 May 1634 [MBCR 1:368]. …
Savage stated that between his residences at Gloucester and Wenham, George Norton resided briefly at Ipswich, but this was his son of the same name [TAG 15:196]. With regard to the baptism of daughter Mary in Gloucester in 1643, Savage made the peculiar statement 'unless this were mistake, as to me seems probable for Henry' [Savage 3:291]. Since the list of children of George Norton does include a daughter Mary of the right age, but no Henry of any age, it is hard to understand what Savage intended here."
