Other contributors to web site say Eliakim first moved to Farmington, Maine, which makes sense, as his brothers were there. Another note at the site cites the Jan 14 1835 issue of the Columbian Centinel: "Aliakim Norton, formerly of Martha's Vineyard, died in Norridgewock, ME, aged 86. For sixty years he had not tasted ardent spirit but once and then for medicine."
